On this day, 13 August 1880, suffragette and union organiser Mary Macarthur was born in Glasgow. She founded the National Federation of Women Workers, and led a strike of 2,000 women across London in the summer of 1911.
Macarthur was a leading figure in the working class wing of the suffragette movement. As such she opposed World War I, and opposed voting rights being given just to wealthy women, which made her unpopular with middle class suffragettes. The middle class wing of the movement aimed to achieve voting rights only for property owning women.

“Zombi 2” was released in 1979 and it wasn’t long before it gained a huge reputation as a new classic of horror and gave worldwide recognition to director Lucio Fulci’s career. It also established him as a horror master after a long series of successful works in the Giallo sub-genre. While it was named by the studios as “Zombi 2” in an attempt to tie it to George Romero’s “Dawn of the Dead” (which had a tremendous success in Europe titled as “Zombi”); “Zombi 2” was written Elisa Briganti and Dardano Sacchetti and has no relation to Romero’s series other than the fact that they were based on the undead. - scumcinema
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
