Intro for newskis: I'm a Weird Old Lady and a giant nerd. I read a lot, I work in a library, I love horror and fantasy and science fiction, I knit and spin and I have approximate knowledge of many things.
(Yes, I am also the same Harmonyfb from the bird site and Livejournal. My horror is eternal.)

Humanoid fish-alien wearing a bra & panties; text printed over the image reads: "Sorry for acting weird, I am weird and it will happen again."

Picked up "Hong Kong Widow" by Kristen Loesch. Set in three time periods (1935, 1953, 2015), this is the story of a Chinese medium who survives personal and political tragedy...and a bloodthirsty house, returning many decades later to face her past. Haunted house, vengeful spirits, WWII. #Booksky

Cover for the book "The Hong Kong Widow" by Kristen Loesch. Shows a woman's figure in a brocade dress, hands clasped in front of her, but she has no head.

My coworkers to me. Not happening. They're just gonna have to deal with it for the next 5-7 years.

I can still remember my Granny & Papa's phone number. They've been dead 15 and 35 years, respectively.

(And my home number (from prior to 1982).

"Is that blood, or...?"

And now he's all tied up while she plys him with drinks? This film is a lot kinkier than I remember. #HorrorWatch

(Had to move this comment as I inadvertently posted it under a completely unrelated post. Whoops.)

Of course! He may drink blood, but he's still a dapper pilot. #HorrorWatch

Harmonyfb @harmonyfb.bsky.social · 3d

Right? I look forward to it all week. :) #HorrorWatch

Carrington's approach might have worked if they hadn't shot the alien & had dogs attack him first. Too bad they went with the 'Shoot first & ask questions later" crowd approach. #HorrorWatch

I know a lot of amazingly stupid people who operate very complicated machinery, sure 'nuff. #HorrorWatch

You can tell Howard Hawks had a hand in this because the dark-haired woman is SO VERY SASSY while she's being competent. #HorrorWatch

Stop, drop, and roll, Mr. Alien Carrot!

(Also: good job burning down part of the only shelter saving you from an icy death.) #HorrorWatch

Why is it always "a horrible army" with you guys? Why not "he came here to start a family"? #HorrorWatch

"I can see by your faces that you don't believe me"

No, Doctor, we just can't believe you were so fucking stupid as to do this without oversight. #HorrorWatch

Harmonyfb @harmonyfb.bsky.social · 3d

I mean, I'd probably hide it from idiot army guys, too, but I'd definitely have locked the door instead of turning my back to it. #HorrorWatch

Nobel Winner clearly went to the North Pole so he could be Ace in peace, only to have horny pilots invade. #HorrorWatch

Harmonyfb @harmonyfb.bsky.social · 3d

Love how the idiot guys are stampeding around, while the Nerds handily solve the mystery. #HorrorWatch

"Looks like a lynching party" - UGH. How cheery he sounds about it, too. I hate the '50s. #HorrorWatch

"You've won a Nobel prize, but I'm gonna stop you so I can tell you my dumbass opinion." -- poorly educated newspaperman. #HorrorWatch

...Is it just me, or was that the flirtiest exchange ever? "You were right"/No, YOU were". #SubtextBaby #HorrorWatch

Once again, the natives are so much smarter - the Inuit said, "You dug up some weird-ass man in the ice? NOPE." #HorrorWatch

I mean...my husband did his junior college project on the science of blowing shit up...#HorrorWatch

Harmonyfb @harmonyfb.bsky.social · 3d

Why are all the actors doing that stilted-loud-lecture-voice? It was all too common in the '50s, and I don't know why. It's like they all forgot how to act. #HorrorWatch

Those coats are wholly inadequate to Alaska winter. Oh, except for the gal on the dogsled, who's at least pretending to wear an appropriate coat.

And now they're making a circle while the soundtrack lets you know that you're supposed to be skeered. 🤣 #HorrorWatch

Film scientists: Blah, Blah, we're so very FANCY with our FANCY slide viewer and our SUPER FANCY CAMERAS, you wouldn't understand, Captain.

What I chiefly remember about this film was the anti-science undercurrents. #HorrorWatch
