When The Guardian visited the institution on Monday December 27, 2018, entering through the CMUL, the sight to behold was a dump of refuse along the street leading to the gate. One may think it is not part of the hospital but as a health institution charged to save and preserve lives, the environment should be void of factors that can predispose one to any ailment.

“A nurse, who has worked for four years in LUTH spoke to our researchers: ‘Some beds in different wards are too old to still be in use, but LUTH knows how to manage. Some of the available beds have become dilapidated. Some beds can cause accidents. They have beds from which patients can fall. It has really happened, and I’ve seen it happen. But they keep managing.’”

In The Pit and the Pendulum, Price plays Nicholas Medina, a man haunted to insanity by early family trauma and more recent memories of his seemingly dead wife Elizabeth (Barbara Steele). Based on a screenplay by genre stalwart Richard Matheson, like many of the Corman-Poe films, it is marked by overt gothic excess and a kaleidoscope of gaudy Technicolor jewel tones. The film’s highlight remains the revelation that Elizabeth was buried alive, rendering Price’s Nicholas a babbling mess repeating the word “true!”, drowning out the pleas of Dr. Leon (Antony Carbone) who insists “on my honor as a physician, I thought she was dead!” Celebrated by Stephen King as a turning point in modern horror for its privileging of sensory excess, the influence of The Pit and the Pendulum on Italian horror films by Dario Argento and Mario Bava has also been widely acknowledged. —AHN

Not only does the clear material keep the focus on the drapery but it won’t draw attention if your ceilings are on the shorter side,” says Jennifer Beek, who, along with her business partner Georgie Tipper, founded J+G Design in New York. For a more custom look, these come in a handful of different metal finishes as well.

British filmmaker Michael Powell rejected the notion that his movie, about a cinematographer who seeks out women to kill as he films them, was a horror picture. He called it a story of “compassion” and didn’t want it lumped in with horror flicks like the Hammer Production ones that were popular at the time. Peeping Tom’s protagonist, Carl Boehm’s Mark Lewis — sexually repressed and traumatized by a bizarre childhood — films women in private, and when he draws in for a close-up, a spike protrudes from the camera. The camera is also outfitted with a mirror so his victims can see their own faces at the moment of their deaths; he can see them seeing it, too, and play the reels back for himself later.

The CUPE rep noted Premier Ford pledged to “fix hallway medicine” during his campaign. “I can tell you right now, at Health Sciences North, there are people in the halls weekly, daily. There’s no end to it unless he funds us.”

Setting up the weaving workshop for this radically experimental school, Anni Albers set her students exercises – using found materials like newspaper or grass to explore "the stuff the world is made of", as she put it. Study of Effect of Construction Weave is an example of this teaching made by Albers.

"Another medical personnel said, ‘Even bed sheets are in short supply. Patients use their wrapper for bed sheets sometimes. And when they use LUTH bed sheets, they are usually old and torn most of the time. Toilets in LUTH are centres of disease distribution. You can be sure to get urinary tract infections and the like. I am referring to the toilets in different wards.’"
