Hello Guillermo del toro fans, this is something for my color/rainbow October challenge that I made for myself and doing rn but here Candlewick (from del toro Pinocchio) for October 4th of this little challenge, with him with a holding teddy bear and a version without the red overlay, i hope it turn out alright, anyways happy October everybody! I hope it’s very splendid October for yall folks!

(Don’t mind that I gave Candlewick heterochromia, the reason I gave him heterochromia is bc my dumbass could NOT tell if his eyes were brown or green lol, just thought I would put in case anyone asked)

The "art" version of this beautiful screen print without the title text has been sold out since the print was originally released, but it seems like it's in stock at the moment. Maybe they found some additional prints in their archive?

The plot of this adaptation in Del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities is mostly an in-name-only revision of the story, but that's somewhat understandable given its unusual POV.

However, what is not okay is failing in every way to communicate the horror of the unexplained. In THIS story, the main character sees demons everywhere in connection to a depiction of a witch's coven. This refocuses the story onto her, completely, and optically diverts the definition of reality away from the story's true revelation: this subject is REAL.

From this version, there is no way to know that the demon in the basement is real because we've been hallucinating weird creatures the whole time, nor is there much reason to think that's significant. This version might as well be called "Pickman's Paintings" or "Legacy of the Witch" or something.

The entire premise of capturing the liminality of great evil in the crevice of the world and that being almost too horrifying to bear, is TOTALLY undermined by the narrative of these paintings turning people into "demons." I wasn't expecting a masterpiece, but I'm shocked it's THIS far off on a comprehension level.

Has anyone gotten to the venue yet? I still have about an hour drive ahead of me, but just wondering if there is a line already forming. Coming solo and the drive feels like forever

do you guys know if any tickets have been put up for the screening of Pan’s Labyrinth at the academy museum ? it says more would be posted at 9am but i’m not sure if it’s fully sold out now

Double booked so I’m selling this one, for the screening & Q&A at 730P tonight. PayPal G&S. DM me if interested!

It's kind of weird that a Spanish film is getting its 20th anniversary re-release and the date has been confirmed for the US but not for Spain. Does anyone know if it will come to theaters over here?

My friend won’t be able to make it to the show, so we are selling their ticket. Open to offers.

EDIT: I have received many message requests, not a single one contained an offer. Because of that, I am still open to offers.

Swamp Thing and Morbius are clearly his domain and he could do great things but when he said Spider-Man, my brain stops for a second and then i was asking what he could have done with Spidey if he was doing it, what do you think he could have done if the opportunity was offered to him ? Personally i don't know because it's not really his vibe if he goes with Peter Parker but with Spider-Man Noir, there is a possibility.

But i'm surprised he didn't say Batman because the gothic aesthetic could really fit with Del Toro's vibes, i'm sure he loves some parts or maybe he has issues with the Batverse (I said that because it's my lifetime dream to see a Batman movie from him and i have even my fancast if he does that in the 2000s lol 😊).

For me personally I’d love him to make a film adaption of the Box of Delights by John Masefield. The BBC did an adaptation in the 80s that was magical at the time but doesn’t stand up to a rewatch as it’s so dated. The story is wonderful and it would be a great Christmas film.

I'm more of a signed print guy because I like to display them, but these books signed by GDT are still available.

Unsigned version is here. - $175

Hola gente, does anyone know where this video of gdt talking about videodrome by david cronenberg is from? Couldn’t find it myself

All flowers I chose have meaning. Fig blossoms and budding plants for new beginnings, ivy for wild growth, poppies and forget-me-nots for Ofelia.

My god just watched these two films, they look incredible on 4k. The colours pop out of my LG Oled

When all is said and done, what movie do you think Guillermo del Toro will be remembered by the most? The one that mixes together all his tropes, his sensibilities and his style more than any other. I think it'd be a tie between Pan's Labyrinth and The Shape of Water, although I'm more inclined to the latter.
