Silent Gastro Horror and Gastro Adjacent Films and Shorts Films from the silent era featuring gastro horror/gastro horror adjacent themes, scenes, and more.

My foray into #silentfilm has not been without merit. I also have not forgotten of given up on #gastrohorror! In fact, this ended up leading me down a rabbit hole for my book!

Me and @sarahstubbssays.bsky.social are feeling a little hungry after watching The Andy Baker Tape. We’re going to go get some brunch while you listen to this episode about this little family film following two brothers on a road trip.

The chicken also freezes pretty well, especially if you use the leftovers in a soup or stew. This is great for folks who dislike eating the same thing multiple days in a row or are only feeding themselves and are concerned about waste!

Something I love about #gastrohorror & food in horror films is how long it’s been around. @rewindfee.com inspired me to poke around #silentfilm more & there are so many restaurant/bar scenes & even instances of ghostly food play & gross out stuff. Always looking for more like this! Hit me with recs!

Please stop ignoring the artists. Please stop ignoring the writers. Art is an important part of fighting fascism. Art is an important way for marginalized folks to speak and to be unapologetically themselves when so many are hostile toward us. Take a step back each day and find some art to support.

‘FANCY A BITE, MY APPETITE’: CANNIBAL WOMEN AND THEIR APPETITES From Der Fan to Trouble Every Day, women’s hunger takes on flesh. Megan Kenny explores cannibalism as metaphor; where appetite becomes rebellion, and consumption becomes self-definition.

🚨 #NightTideMag Monthly Macabre: Cannibal Horror has bite!
Women are told to starve: of food, of sex, of self. But what if hunger is holy? Through Bones and All, In My Skin, and more, Megan Kenny devours the politics of appetite and autonomy. 👻📽️

WE ARE WHAT’S LEFT: FAMILIAL HUNGER AND THE WEIGHT OF INHEREITANCE IN SOMOS LO QUE HAY A family mistakes devotion for survival, feeding on tradition until there’s nothing left but hunger wearing its father’s face.

🚨 It's Monthly Macabre: Cannibal Horror day!
Our EIC @momoshaty.bsky.social dives into Jorge Michael Grau's 2010 Mexican Cannibal horror, Somos lo que hay, where ritual and faith curdle into appetite, and a family learns devotion tastes a lot like flesh. 👻📽️

THE COLONIAL POLITICS OF NUDITY IN RUGGERO DEODATA’S LAST CANNIBAL WORLD (1977) Colonialism wears a camera’s lens. Last Cannibal World reveals what happens when the gaze turns predatory.

#NightTideMag's Monthly Macabre: Cannibal Horror is here!
In Last Cannibal World (1977), nudity isn’t shock; it’s subjugation. Elijah Fischer's piece unpacks how colonialism & the camera share the same hunger: to dominate, define, & devour. 👻📽️

C’EST GRAVE: A NEURODIVERGENT REFLECTION ON JULIA DUCOURNAU’S ‘RAW’ (2016) Through Ducournau’s Raw, Jill Vranken found the impossible: to feel seen in her sensitivity and her hunger. Horror became a mirror, and a mercy.

🦴 #NightTideMag Monthly Macabre: Cannibal Horror rolls on.
For Jill Vranken, in Raw, Julia Ducournau reached through the screen, bloodied hand, tender heart, and told her she wasn’t a monster. Just human, and hungry to belong. 👻📽️

This was learned from those in need

Snap Benefits feeding 42 million Americans may stop in November because of the shutdown.

1. Boxed Mac & Cheese (common) = useless without milk & butter (uncommon)
2. Boxed milk is a treasure for cereal loving kids.
3. Pasta and Spaghetti sauce are everywhere.
4. Canned good help more - IF opener included (or pop tops)
5. Cooking oil is a rare luxury but essential
6. Spices, salt, and pepper are true gifts.
7. Tea and coffee make people feel cared for.
8. Sugar and flour are treats.
9. Fresh produce brings huge smiles.
10. Seeds are great in warmer months - growing food helps!
11. Fresh meat is rare.
12. Tuna and crackers make an easy lunch
13. Hamburger Helper needs ground beef to matter.
14. PB & J are common - sandwich bread isn't.
15. Butter or margarine feels like gold.
16. Eggs are a prized commodity.
17. Cake mix & frosting let kids celebrate birthdays.
18. Dish soap is pricey and ALWAYS needed.
19. Feminine hygiene products are a luxury - women often cry when they get them.
20. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing.

This regime could authorize emergency funding for it but it's choosing not to.

Plz keep reposting - we will all need to donate in Nov 2025.
