A small cap of the way I see bizarre magic

I loved this series when it was on HBO. It is a pity
more episodes were not made. Jim Henson was a true
genius.

The series is available on DVD:

The classic stories that were used in the stories are collected here:

If there is no inspiration to be found here, then I don't know where....

Well as it was aired on tv I ll put an entire episode ...here tonight

Yep, I have both the series Storyteller and Greek myths. Truly inspirational.
But you also try to find Mirrormask by Dave Mc Kean, Neil Gaiman and the Henson studios. A true wonder.

If you live in Brussels, you can find the series at Mélopée, close to the Bourse.

A very heavy one...

Oupps lol baseball batte ..shame on me ...i have to practice my english ....

OK... 1 thread and with me here : 3 Belgians. What is it that makes us so bizarre ?

Strong Beer ?

The Grand JoJO ...or the Lange jojo if you prefer

I almost forgot that one, MAze. And the strong beer. Yeah, that COULD be it, but aren't we imune by now ?

We can't be totally immune to Golden Carolus.

Well, I lived in Germany for a couple of years, so I guess that makes me... well, still entirely non-Belgian. But now the thread contains three from Belgium and two from Oregon, curiously enough. Maybe there's a ley line between here and there.

Anyway, to be on-topic, I guess I missed out on the Storyteller shows when they were on the air (we never had HBO when I was younger). Looks like Netflix has Mirrormask and at least some Storyteller stuff, however, so I'll have to give 'em a look.

As an aside, I think the book "Last Call" by Tim Powers has probably proven the most formative influence on my sense of bizarre magic (and has driven my decision to specialize in Tarot-related effects), though his "On Stranger Tides" runs a close second (great voodoo stuff there).

That's funny, I'm just reading Last Call once again. I really like Tim Powers novels.

Sounds like the begining of a love story ....

It has always been with the works of Neil Gaiman, Tim Powers, Alan Moore, Dave Mc Kean, Jim Henson ...
