Look To The Sky!
So, you managed to survive the horrors of Halloween but the terror’s only just begun. The nights are drawing in earlier, as fireworks erupt in the skies over the UK this weekend. Grab a burning torch and sacrifice a guy – it’s tradition after all! Celebrate the weekend with another packed edition of the Cult Labs newsletter…
Brownie points if you can guess the film this fireworks-themed image is from…
