I had a dream last night that I had created a horror host persona called the Cinema Goblin that was just a hand puppet I had made out of a paper bag that introduced old movies.

Bindle routinely "catches" her various toys and brings them to me. This morning, she brought me both a turkey and a pumpkin. Clearly, she is helping with Thanksgiving dinner.

Willis O'Brien's KING KONG VS. FRANKENSTEIN, but it has to be made entirely using technology they had in 1933, and be as much like it would have been then as is humanly possible.

I had somehow never heard of I COME WITH THE RAIN (2009) until someone I follow posted about it recently, and I'm not sure it entirely worked for me, but it sure is something, a Michael Mann-style dreamy crime thriller turned religious meditation? Maybe?

When I initially saw this, I had one brief second where I thought it was a modern event, rather than one long ago, and I would have literally traveled anywhere to attend it.
#FolkloreSunday Ghosts are a close companion of the winter season. The days grow shorter, the nights longer & even though we no longer live by candlelight, the death of the year & the chill in the air reawaken the spectral realm with more solemnity than Halloween.

Was recently visiting a friend's house, wearing a CLOCK TOWER shirt. Friend's 3-year-old daughter asks about figure on shirt, I tell her it's Scissorman. She immediately repeats "Scissorman."
Later, unprompted, she starts telling *me* about Scissorman, only now she's calling him "Scissor Monster."

Some time ago, Grace set the wheels into motion to get me a very special birthday present: a one-of-a-kind Man-Thing statue, designed and 3D printed by one friend, and painted by another. Today, he finally came home.

A bit early for this, but I'm re-reading "The Crown Derby Plate" by Marjorie Bowen and need to remember to trot this back out as we get closer to the holidays.

I do love the diorama on this, the cover of what was intended as the third of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons for Intellivision, but the licence was stripped before release.

25 years later, I didn't care for RED PLANET all that much.
No Place for Heroes: Surviving in Spaaaaaaace with Outland (1981) and Red Planet (2000) - Unwinnable
Both look and sound probably about as good as their source material would ever allow them to, which honestly isn’t bad in either case.

I am an AI hater. This is considered rude, but I do not care, because I am a hater.
