Do fairytale dresses bring fairytale endings? Every dress has a history, so does Phoebe...Phoebe...

Barnaby Clay recommended Eyes Without a Face (1960) in Movies (curated)

"The perfect example of an adult fairytale. Everything about this—the visual set pieces, the mournful musical theme, the mad doctor (!), and the unforgettable sight of Edith Scob in her mask, roaming the gardens and joined by her doves—is horror at its finest."

A Truly Modern Fairytale

A stunningly breathtaking movie, that takes you on an amazing journey. I was lucky to see this in 3D, as I feel some of the magic would be lost in the 2D version. So lovely to see justice paid to such a beautiful book.

Such a great book! Agniezska (pronounced ag-NYESH-Kahn) is a wonderful heroine. Humble loyal and a bit of a mess, she leaves her home valley to live with a terrifying lord wizard named Dragon. Slightly graphic in some places, this modern Eastern European flavored fairytale will spark anyone's imagination.

Tahereh Mafi has an incredible gift. Her writing is beautiful in a way that isn't seen much these days. This companion to Furthermore is another glorious fairytale that I couldn't get enough of. I truly hope she continues this captivating series.

**Thanks to edelweiss and the publisher for the ARC. All opinions are my own.**

"Another brilliant adaptation, this time of a Davis Grubb novel (a bestseller). It’s a gothic fairytale of childhood, full of shadows and silhouettes and countless images that linger in your head forever after. I first saw this as a kid, and the stupendously terrifying Robert Mitchum (as a murderous “man of god”) still hasn’t left my haunted unconscious."
