It’s out! I’m so thrilled to have worked on the narrative and can’t wait to see what folks think!

(The opening of this fantastic trailer is how it’s going to look when I play. lol.)

On a side note, I completely forgot to upgrade anything, so I've been able to max out the axe, the shield, and rage while hardly making a dent in my experience points. lol.

October #Horror #8: KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE (1988) — As the title implies, killer klowns come from outer space to kill the locals. Wacky, chaotic good fun.

Just started KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE (1988) and the movie has me hooked with the opening theme song.

Popcorn suddenly inching across the floor is the creepiest thing thus far.

Andrea Blythe @andreablythe.bsky.social · 12h

I caught it once on TV decades ago and have been meaning to watch it ever since. I'm delighted.

Andrea Blythe @andreablythe.bsky.social · 12h

Klowns really just in it for the chaos.

Andrea Blythe @andreablythe.bsky.social · 12h

Officer Mooney sucks, and I kinda hope the Klowns get him.

Andrea Blythe @andreablythe.bsky.social · 12h

To be fair, if I was the police, I wouldn't believe these kids either.

Popcorn engine device (or whatever). Balloon scenthound tracking down its prey. Simultaneously terrifying and goofy clowns. I love everything about this.

The cotton candy cocoons are the only thing I remember from catching this on TV decades ago.

Yes, definitely go in the tent that appeared after a comet crashed down. Totally safe.

Andrea Blythe @andreablythe.bsky.social · 12h

The appearance of a space ship in the shape of a circus tent brings up the question, Do other planets in the universe also have the circus? Or is this a "taking the shape of a comforting and familiar object to lull the locals situation?

Andrea Blythe @andreablythe.bsky.social · 12h

Love the two guys showing up to sell ice cream at the local necking spot. Total vibe killer. Love these dorks.

Playing GOD OF WAR (2018) and the moment when Kratos recovers his Blades of Chaos from his house gave me goosbumps (and I haven't even played the previous games). Then, using them in combat... so satisfying.

Oh, this one looks fantastic.

Unhinged quests sounds like wild fun. And that thing, well, I’m sure you could go ham with that.

I love this! It's so cool when artists do cool things with interesting materials. www.designboom.com/art/photogra...

When the kills finally do come, they come quick. They start off tame (some blood, but hinting at violence than overtly showing it), and then growing in intensity — with an ending that left me sad. I really enjoyed it.

October #Horror #6: PROM NIGHT (1980) — During a game in an abandoned building, four children cause the death of another kid. A decade later, a killer enacts revenge on prom night. The movie takes it's time, but holds tension through clever editing and well-placed hints of the coming threat.

A young woman (Jamie Lee Curtis) stares back in fear at someone offscreen. We can see the reflection of a young man in the window.

Was gifted flowers yesterday, but I’m currently moving and have already packed my vases. My solution? A disposable plastic cup inside a cardboard box.

October #Horror #6: THE HOWLING (1981) — A news reporter attempts to help the police find a killer and is confronted by a werewolf stalker. Unable to face her trauma, she goes to a retreat with its own secrets. Some of the effects are cool, others are quite goofy. Good story, but didn't love it.

A woman stares up in horror at the shadow of a werewolf on the wall.
