The full moon on Halloween this year is a blue moon which means that there are 13 full moons in 2020.

To celebrate, Absent but not Forgotten have been looking at TV and cinema in the horror genre which use images of the full moon and have compiled a selection of 13 spooky clips.

When two full Moons appear in a single month the second full Moon is called a “Blue Moon.”

This year October has seen two full moons, the Harvest Moon on 1 October and the Hunter’s Moon on 31 October.

A Halloween Blue Moon hasn’t been seen across all time zones since 1944 and the next one will be in 2039.

With a particular interest in the visual aesthetics of the horror genre, this changing selection of records combines rock and pop, classic soundtracks, spoken word and sound effects to explore the diverse and evocative imagery in celebration of the Halloween season.

 

Absent but not Forgotten: V – Halloween at the Abacus

To kick off a series of events for ABNF V (celebrating our fifth year of Absent but not Forgotten) we held a one night only retrospective exhibition in The Abacus, Cardiff.  An amazing space to show in, we were able to include a number of works from the last 5 years.

As well as the installations and artworks we offered evil home-brewed refreshments and toasted the event with our special reserve ‘666’ blackberry wine (brewed from 666 blackberries). Live Halloween sounds were created by Jacob Whittaker and his vinyl loops of horror and a new performance from invited artist Ian Watson, a truly terrifying blend of electronic noise, mask and sportswear!

To make it extra special there will be live performances from Ian Watson and Jacob Whittaker, possibly others (tbc)…

Jacob has brewed a very special wine made from 666 blackberries which may or may not be fatal/palatable/satanic/available ….

This probably isn’t it being made…
