#bedevil 1993

[stretchbrock]

Bedevil, stylised as beDevil, is a 1993 Australian horror film directed by Tracey Moffatt, the first feature directed by an Aboriginal Australian woman.

The film is a trilogy of surreal ghost stories. Inspired by ghost stories she heard as a child from both her extended Aboriginal and Irish Australian families, Moffatt created a trilogy in which characters are haunted by the past. All three stories are set in Moffatt's highly stylised, hyper-real, hyper-imaginary Australian landscape.

Dragon 197 (September, 1993). “The Bedeviled Met his Fate,” by Brom. I can’t read this as anything other than an Elric portrait. The yellow and purple color combo is something only a Melibonean could pull off (and also Marvel’s Tigershark).

New Horror 2023 - Day 31

"Why are you in such a hurry to be old?"

"Bloodchild" by Octavia Butler (1984)

Doesn't take much to just roll with it, does it?

💀💀💀

"So, who d'you want done?"

"Fair Ground" by Jo Duffy, Mike Manley, Jackson Guice, James Fry, Kevin Cunningham (1992)

Something always catches up.

💀💀💀

"We could've helped that child."

Bedevil dir. Tracey Moffatt (1993)

We need more surreal expressionism in set design. That alone lends a movie those spooky vibes.

💀💀💀

"This one's gonna make you have to change your chonies."

Regular Show - "Terror Tales of the Park" I-VI (2011-2016)

I've never watched a regular episode of Regular Show, but I get the sense that the Halloween specials aren't all that out of the ordinary.

💀💀💀

"Oh, you know kids. Still missin'."

The Simpsons - "Treehouse of Horror Presents: Not It" (2022)

Hm, sticking too close to the source material is a longtime problem with their parodies, and this one certainly suffers for it.

💀💀💀

"C’mon, how powerful could a god from a dump like this be?"

Silent Hill 3 dev. Konami (2003)

The first half kind of drags before it finally gets to the titular setting, then it's surreal melty wall terror. That makes up for the slow start and cements it as another great entry. I'll be back for the next one in 2024.

💀💀💀

"So, just be aware, the characters do tend to wander a bit."

Five Nights at Freddy's dev. Scott Cawthon (2014)

I always avoided this one because the jumpscare gameplay wasn't for me, but I figured I had to at least see the first one through to the end. I don't know that I can recommend it what with Cawthon's problematic nonsense, but it's an interesting product from an indie dev of the time.

[akajustmerry]

just wanted to let you know that I got a VPN and managed to watch Dark Place! It was INCREDIBLE. My favourite segment definitely was "Scout", about the poor woman who gets abducted into sex slavery. It was an incredibly hard watch but very well-made, I cried so hard. If you have any other recommandation for content made my Aboriginal people (especially horror, it's my very favourite genre), I'd be delighted! x

i’m so glad you appreciated it!! being abducted it was one of my biggest fears so that section did a number on me too, but it's so well-acted and made social horror!! i especially love the atmospherics in The Shore!

there isn’t a lot of horror made by Aboriginal people (hopefully more will come with Dark Place’s critical success), but Bedevil (1993) is a horror film, and the first-ever feature directed by an Aboriginal woman! It’s tricky to find, but u can stream it on vimeo, or just google “Bedevil 1993 stream” there’s a couple of *free* streams if u catch my drift...Since you have access to iview you can also watch, Nightwalkers, a comedy-horror web series sorta in the vein of What We Do In The Shadows, which is an Indigenous production.

Other than that! Some of my fave content made by my people are:

Sweet Country (2018). SBS on Demand. Free, Use a VPN. Anti-colonial western follows an Aboriginal man on the run after killing a white man

Cleverman (series). American Netflix (or just google a stream). Scifi/Dystopia/Speculative fiction about a future where an ancient race that pre-dates Aboriginal people become refugees.

Black Comedy (series). View on ABC IView with a VPN. Comedy sketch show made by young Indigenous people about being Aboriginal

Mystery Road (neon-noir crime drama). View on ABC Iview with a VPN, co-written, co-directed by and starring Aboriginal men and women.

Top End Wedding (2019). Netflix. Rom-com about an Aboriginal woman bringing her white fiance home to the Northern Territory to get married only to find her mum is missing. Netflix also has The Sapphires, a true story about an Aboriginal girl group who toured Vietnam performing for the troops, during the war.

NITV also has lots of free Indigenous programs, films, short films, shows, etc that you can access with a VPN here: https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/channels/nitv

DO NOT WATCH Cargo, or The Nightingale, or Australia (2008). These films are deeply problematic, to say the least and had little to no significant insight or consult from Aboriginal peoples in their production. Lots of Australian content features Aboriginal people but is made without consult. Be careful and do research.

enjoy! We are the oldest living culture and thus, the oldest storytellers! and “Australia” always was always will be Aboriginal land. x

Thomas OCs (sort of): Vanguard

Number: 13 Class: Bagnall New Standard 18 0-6-0ST Built: 1951 Arrived on Sodor: 1994 Service (Shed): Arlesburgh Branch (Arlesburgh) Livery: NWR Goods Black

In the years since their arrival on Sodor, Donald & Douglas had proven themselves to be a most versatile pair, capable of working just about anywhere. They mostly found their footing on the Arlesburgh branch, although one or both of them would often find themselves working on the Brendam branch, or even on the main line. By the late 1980s, however, such a demanding workload was beginning to take its toll on the twins. To help ease the strain on them, Sir Topham Hatt decided to find another engine to take over on the Arlesburgh branch, allowing the twins more time to work elsewhere. In 1993, he borrowed Wilbert from the Dean Forest Railway, in order to assess the advantages of purchasing another Austerity like him.

As it happened, during Wilbert’s visit, Sir Topham Hatt was unexpectedly contacted by the Royal Navy. It seemed they had an engine for sale which used to work on one of their lines, serving a naval base in the far reaches of Scotland (where exactly this line is remains classified information). This had recently been downsized, and now the Navy were desperately seeking a buyer - apparently the NWR had been mentioned at one point. Sir Topham Hatt agreed to come and take a look, and after spending a couple of days getting to know the engine, he agreed to purchase him at once.

That engine, when he finally arrived on Sodor in 1994, became known as Vanguard, after the recently commisioned HMS Vanguard, which had been constructed at the Vickers Shipyard in Barrow-In-Furness. This continued the military theme set by his siblings, who had been named after the RAF’s V bombers. Indeed, his official naming ceremony was held in the shipyard, alongside his namesake. As the number 13 happened to be sitting blank in the NWR’s books, this was allocated to Vanguard - and that, of course, is where the trouble began.

For those first few weeks, all sorts of trouble seemed to bedevil Vanguard - along with Donald and Douglas, who had been tasked with showing him the ropes - and it seemed as though his unlucky number was to blame. After a string of incidents, Sir Topham Hatt decided to only entrust Vanguard on simple jobs where nothing could go wrong...and sure enough, something did go wrong - while out pulling some empty ballast trucks to a permanent way site, Vanguard’s injectors suddenly failed, causing his fusible plugs to melt, and his firebox to be severely damaged. He was promptly sent to the Works, and it looked as though that would be the end of him... Happily, Vanguard eventually returned to service, as good as new - in fact, slightly better. As it turned out, his streak of bad luck had been caused by problems with his old firebox that’d gone unnoticed - he’d always had trouble with it, he said - and as part of his total rebuild, he was given a brand-new firebox that was less liable to suffer such issues.

Vanguard continues to work happily on the Arlesburgh branch to this day - well, relatively happier than he was, anyway. Having suffered from bad luck for most of his life, he tends to come across as rather pessimistic, bitter and sarcastic. He works under a constantly looming shadow of grief, and he used to worry about his supposed jinx striking back when he least expected it. Fortunately, his time on Sodor has helped him to cope with such fears, and he’s gradually learning to have a much more positive approach to life. Besides that, he’s as goodhearted as any other engine, and while he doesn’t care much about anything bad happening to himself, he always shows a great deal of concern for others - particularly those who’d been affected by his bad luck.

Trivia

Vanguard is my take on the Austerity Engine, an unseen, unnamed character who was intended to appear in the RWS. Unfortunately, due to the publishers’ demands for more stories about Thomas and other established characters, this engine was sidelined, and their story has never officially been told. There have been plenty of fan interpretations - from WildNorWester’s Sheffield to the Extended Railway Series’ Warrior - but this is my version.

He’s also partly inspired by Thirteen, a black saddletank from the magazine story The Unlucky Engine. From this, I derived Vanguard’s livery, number and resulting unlucky streak.

And yes, there’s a great deal of influence from Boomer from TUGS. There’s just some great black comedic potential to be had there.

The reason I didn’t make him an actual Austerity is simply because I wanted something a bit different, to make my interpretation of the character unique. And hey, it certainly looks cool!

Susan Stryker, “My Words to Victor Frankenstein Above the Village of Chamounix: Performing Transgender Rage,” 1993:

The affront you humans take at being called a “creature” results from the threat the term poses to your status as “lords of creation,” beings elevated above mere material existence. As in the case of being called “it,” being called a “creature” suggests the lack or loss of a superior personhood. I find no shame, however, in acknowledging my egalitarian relationship with non-human material Being; everything emerges from the same matrix of possibilities. “Monster” is derived from the Latin noun monstrum, “divine portent,” itself formed on the root of the verb monere, “to warn.” It came to refer to living things of anomalous shape or structure, or to fabulous creatures like the sphinx who were composed of strikingly incongruous parts, because the ancients considered the appearance of such beings to be a sign of some impending supernatural event. Monsters, like angels, functioned as messengers and heralds of the extraordinary. They served to announce impending revelation, saying, in effect, “Pay attention; something of profound importance is happening.”

Hearken unto me, fellow creatures. I who have dwelt in a form unmatched with my desire, I whose flesh has become an assemblage of incongruous anatomical parts, I who achieve the similitude of a natural body only through an unnatural process, I offer you this warning: the Nature you bedevil me with is a lie. Do not trust it to protect you from what I represent, for it is a fabrication that cloaks the groundlessness of the privilege you seek to maintain for yourself at my expense. You are as constructed as me; the same anarchic womb has birthed us both. I call upon you to investigate your nature as I have been compelled to confront mine. I challenge you to risk abjection and flourish as well as have I. Heed my words, and you may well discover the seams and sutures in yourself.
