Witches of Appendix N: John Bellairs
There is only one entry for John Bellairs in Gygax's Appendix N; 1969's The Face in the Frost. And even my Gary's own recounting it didn't influence D&D very much. But he said it could have.

October Horror Movie Challenge: The Crow (2024)
There’s a special kind of danger in remaking The Crow. The 1994 original wasn’t just a movie; it was an urban ghost story that meant something. It was the "Citizen Kane" of the Goth 90s. This new one?

Confirmed, the "Gaza peace deal" was the same deal offered to Netanyahu and the US repeatdly, but it was turned down by Israel because they wanted to gift Trump (Israeli asset) a perceived victory at the expense of the Israeli hostages and Gaza population.

Monstrous Mondays: Devil, Valac
I went on a Conjuring bender last week, and I lamented that I did not include the demon/devil Valac in my The Left Hand Path book. Well. Here is where I can fix that.

October Horror Movie Challenge: Conjuring The Devil Made Me Do It (2021)
By the third Conjuring film, you’d expect the formula to start feeling very familiar: haunted family, demonic possession, big exorcism finale. The Devil Made Me Do It is different.

I think after this, I only want to run a Monsterhearts game in the mid-1980s during full-blown Satanic Panic. It was a complete blast.
