[Emp edit: Warning: This thread may contain spoilers for the film Brotherhood of the Wolf which is loosely based on these events. Its also worth noting that there is a BotW discussion thread here: https://forums.forteana.org/index.php?threads/brotherhood-of-the-wolf.1953/ if you are only...

Just read in Nikolas Schreck's The Satanic Screen about Albin Grau, aka Frater Pacitus of the OTO and how he inserted real magical symbols into the written words in the silent film Nosferatu. What I would want to know is has anybody ever tried to find out if what he wrote was a working spell...

That IS One BAD Film! Okay people it has been suggested on another thread that there are BAD films out there. So what films have you seen that have left you feeling soiled, degraded and with a bad taste in your mouth. And just to get the ball rolling I can't think of one as I blank them from my...

This one's been doing the rounds for ages, cult Blockbusters presenter Bob Holness is frequently reputed to have played the saxophone solo on Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street". I think this is a myth, but if he didn't, then who did?

It goes without saying Hellboy is without a shadow of a doubt, one of the most esoteric comics ever. It is totally awesome. Does anyone know if the new movie will have an occult Nazi storyline as the majority of the comics do or a Lovecraftian one as some of the other stories do-or will it be...

In the comentry to the directors cut of The Wicker Man Christopher Lee claims that a large Americasn studio had optioned the flim to be remade with Nickoles Cage as Howie. Have they no decency? given that America loves remaking European films and usualy making an arse of it (La Feme Nikita...

Does anyone know where I can get any Kenneth Anger films on video?

I always thought it was amazing the number of people who have told me that they also used to believe as children that dragons slept under mountains and hills and recently watching the film, Reign of Fire, has remined me of this. It is a known fact that children see things that adults don't...

I'm not really that interested in UFOs but just wanted to know if there is any truth in the following claim told to me by a friend. He is neither reliable nor unreliable in these matters but was surprised i'd never heard about it. Accoding to him during a special screening of ET Ronald Reagan...

According to May's Sky magazine there's a new programme on in the UK, it's on the Living TV Channel and starts 1 week today on May 28th. Soemthing about this has been on these boards before : Yvette Fielding getting a bit scared whilst filming it. Thought I'd act as a memory jogger to...

I was away last week, and can't believe that no one has started a post about the new DVD/video release. This is a definitive film, it couldn't be made today, and it's brilliant. The acting is class, music well integrated into the film, the story is well written and researched, and every man...

The X-Files I have been watching the new X-Files on BBC 2 and see that Mulder has'nt come out off the UFO yet i was just wondering if anyone knows if he is coming back into the X-Files or has that new bloke took over him? It wont be the same with out the same old Mulder :( Gota say though...

Star Wars: Attack of the Clones If you want to read the first review, click here. :)

I remeber a film from the early-mid eighties but can't quite remember it's name, can anyone help? It was based around an internal US flight which crashed through some sort of flaw, killing I'm not sure how many including the pilot. Bits salvaged from the plane were transplanted into others...

Despite UL's floating around for decades, is it not true that there has not been a single case involving a snuff film, or any films seized by custom officers or police forces. I'm not saying there isn't very nasty stuff out there but is the whole concept of snuff films just a UL.

Coming Soon - Crop Circles: The Movie Starring Mel Gibson as Reg Presley?! Check this out for details.

Interupted TV Broadcast I remember reading a few years ago in, I believe, Encounters magazine a tale about a TV programme being interupted for a good few minutes by another broadcast. I believe the broadcast was basically a voice purporting to be from some alien race and issuing dire warnings...

Any one seen this yet? I thought it was great! Everything mixed together! Is this based on a true story, does anyone know?

Fortean Doctor Who I've taken a bit of stick from other Doctor Who fans, so I'm starting a thread about him. Quite a few of the stories are inspired by things Fortean. Terror of the Zygons - Loch Ness The Web of Fear - Yetis The Green Death - Giant Maggots (great on a Saturday tea-time)...

hey, I am a huge fan of the X-files. I wanted to ask all of you (cuz' im sure most of you watch it as well) to post your favorite episode. also anything else related to the show as well. And one more thing, is there a real life X-files in the government? i know it wont be called X-files but...

I've already strung up something to this effect on the ULs board, but I'm going for all out contributions on any topic here. Anyone know any good stories relating to Television? By which I mean urban legends, odd unbroadcast programmes, mystery transmissions, rumours, ghostly events...

70's childrens TV drama? I was trying to recall the TV programmes I watched as a wee’un in the seventies that might have inspired a taste for the Fortean. Children of the Stones and The Owl Service come straight to mind but there is one I absolutely loved and can now remember nothing about...

I caught Magnolia and I wan't really impressed - it was okay - but are there any really great Fortean films out I should check out?

I live Cincinnati Ohio, and we have a number of these so-called 'Toynbee Tiles' in the vicinity. Nobody knows who is doing them, and they are appearing all over the US and in certain other countries. They mysteriously appear overnight, placed into the pavement at certain street intersections...
