The Resurrection Of The Dead by Victor Mottez. Centered in the picture, towering about a cemetery are two blonde angels in light pinkish robes stand atop a promontory and blowing long golden trumpets. The foreground, the dead arise, alive and restored to their prior state. Left of the image has a young mother holding a baby with a flower crown on their head. Center foreground a kneeling couple embrace. Right side of the image a naked man and woman, possibly Adam and Eve, stand and hold each other, while beside them a woman in a mantle and veil kneels, looking at the angels.

Another creepy moment left out in the Muppet version (and many adaptations) is the crowd of ghosts Scrooge sees. Marley’s fate is not unique, and this moment highlights it as the fate of all men like him and Scrooge and also just adds to the frightening atmosphere
Scrooge looks out his window at a swarm of chained ghosts

The 2009 version is bad (overly-long sequences meant for 3D, uncanny valley cgi people, Jim Carey and Zemmeckis) it has them and makes them extra creepy, although the sequence is a bit overwrought, with Ignorance morphing into a hoodlum and then jailbird and Want into a SWer and then a madwoman
Ignorance and Want from the shitty, Polar Express esque Christmas Carol from 2009, directed by Robert Zemmeckis and starring Jim Carey as literally everyone

While I, like every sensible person, agree that the Muppet Christmas Carol is the best adaptation, it lacks many of the best and most frightening moments in “A Christmas Carol,” the prime example being the creepy ghost urchins, Ignorance and Want, hiding in the Ghost of Christmas Present’s robes.
Illustration from Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” with Scrooge looking on in horror at the two wretch ghost children, Ignorance and Want, at the feet of the Father Christmas-like Ghost of Christmas Present. The text reads “"*They are Man's,' said the Spirit, and they cling to me, appealing from their fathers. This boy is Ignorance. The girl is Want.” Screenshot from the 1984 Clive Donner version of “A Christmas Carol” starring George C. Scott. The Ghost of Christmas Present is opening his green robe, trimmed in white fur, revealing two emaciated children in rags. George C. Scott’s Scrooge is in the right hand of the image and has his back to the camera

also also sounds like the title of some hideous caricature in a No-Nothing anti-Catholic/Irish propaganda comic, à la:
John Tenniel’s “The Irish Frankenstein” cartoon, depicting a gross, giant sized, monstrous caricature of Charles Parnell as this ogreish beast with a bandit mask and bloody knife and a smaller, top hat wearing gentleman recoiling in terror

With the lithium salts included!
The drink did, initially, claim to contain lithium citrate, a mood-stabilizing drug.[1]: §2  It was one of a number of patent medicine products popular in the late-19th and early-20th centuries.[7] In 1936 the federal government forced the manufacturer to remove a number of health claims, and because "lithium was not an actual ingredient", the name was changed to just "7 Up" in 1937.

The masculinity of Christ in question:
“The Lamentation of Christ by the Holy Women” unknown artist, 16th century, The Body of Jesus lies in the tomb on a stone slab, arms cross on His chest, eyes closed. He has visible, feminine breasts. Around him, the Holy Women, including His Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary (in blue), Mary Magdalene, Mary of Bethany, Mary of Clopas, and Saint John the Evangelist (beside Mother Mary). Medieval icon depicting Ecclesia, the personification of the Church, being born out of the crucified Christ’s side wound. Mosaic icon depicting a white hen with a halo gathering her baby chicks under her wings, encircled with the text in Latin of Luke 13:34: “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets and stoning those who are sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not!” Medieval illustration of Christ’s side wound between the Arma Christi (the Cross, the Pillar Christ was scourged upon, the Nails, the Lance) that looks like, well, a vagina.

Christopher Lee as Lord Summerisle in 1973’s Wicker Man. He is wearing a yellow turtleneck sweater under a tweed jacket with brown elbow patches and a good wristwatch with a black band. He is standing on the edge of a sea cliff and swinging his arms and singing merrily as Edward Woodward’s Sgt. Howie is roasted alive inside the titular Wicker Man (not pictured).

Call me authoritarian but I don’t think that AIDS denialism books should be legal

Also, all disease denial rhymes. “The virus doesn’t exist/is harmless!” “A healthy immune system will protect you!” “The treatments are what kills people!” “I get to decide if my child dies of a preventable disease!”
“Alive and Well was not your usual celebrity charity then, but it was nonetheless amplified by one of the biggest bands in the world. In early 2000, President Clinton's director of AIDS policy admonished them: "For the Foo Fighters to be promoting this is extraordinarily irresponsible behaviour. There is no doubt about the link between HIV and AIDS in the respected scientific community and it's quite unfortunate that a band reads one book and then adopts this theory. To say [that HIV does not cause AIDS] is akin to saying the world is flat." “That "one book" was What If Everything You Thought You Knew About AIDS Was Wrong? - self-published pseudo-science written by Alive and Well's founder, Christine Maggiore, a woman diagnosed with HIV in the early '90s — and it fell into the idle hands of the Foo Fighters' bassist, Nate Mendel. After devouring it, Mendel conscripted his bandmates in his advocacy for Maggiore's group. The alliance lasted years. In January 2000, the group held a benefit concert for Alive and Well. "I'm living in perfect health without any AIDS medicines," Maggiore told the cheering crowd between songs. For years, the band's website featured Alive and Well banners, and listed them as a charity.” “This heroic refusal to look back would seem to include not looking back upon his band's very public support for Alive and Well AIDS Alternatives, an AIDS denial group that argued HIV did not cause AIDS — and that HIV was, in fact, harmless and non-contagious. Alive and Well argued that AIDS was likely caused by recreational drug use and/or the very antiretroviral drugs used to treat HIV patients, and as such it discouraged people from taking HIV tests, practicing safe sex, or, for those living with HIV, accepting medication. In the late 1990s, its director was personally received by South African President Thabo Mbeki, a man who also denied the link between HIV and AIDS and, by banning antiretroviral drugs in public hospitals, is credibly blamed for hundreds of thousands of deaths.” “The founder of Alive and Well is long dead. So is her daughter. Both succumbed to AIDS. Christine Maggiore fell pregnant in 2001, spurned antiretroviral drugs, breastfed her daughter and refused to have her tested for the virus. As her child became increasingly ill, Maggiore attributed her sickness to other things and sought quacks to reaffirm her delusions. Eliza was three when she died - after an autopsy, a coroner ruled that the "unequivocal" cause of her death was AIDS-related Pneumocystis pneumonia. The death of her daughter did not free Maggiore from her destructive theories - or the Foo Fighters from their endorsement of them. Instead, Maggiore doubled down. She accused the coroner of political bias and continued to refuse treatment for herself. She died three years after her daughter, of pneumonia as well, and we are left with the very essence of tragedy: a denial of extreme and self-annihilating sophistication.”

Key point here: tools are great, but if one vanished tomorrow, would you still be you without them? AI “art” is nothing new, just a probabilistic average of all preexisting things it has absorbed. Your own art, no matter how amateurish or derivative, is still more creative, authentic, and valuable.

El Chupacabra: literally the alien from Species. 1st sighting was the year it was released, it’s literally made up.
Sil, the alien from the 1995 film Species. She’s a shiny metallic green humanoid with visible breasts, large black eyes, and spines on her back Original 1995 sketch of El Chupacabra. Note the similarities to Sil from Species, minus the tits. From Wikipedia. 2001 sketch from how stuff works of El Chupacabra feeding on a ram and a chicken Wikipedia screenshot of the article for El Chupacabra, detailing how its description matches the alien Sil from Species: “A five-year investigation by Benjamin Radford, documented in his 2011 book Tracking the Chupacabra, concluded that the description given by the original eyewitness in Puerto Rico, Madelyne Tolentino, was based on the creature Sil in the 1995 science-fiction horror film Species. [1] The alien creature Sil is nearly identical to Tolentino's chupacabra eyewitness account and she had seen the movie before her report: "It was a creature that looked like the chupacabra, with spines on its back and all... The resemblance to the chupacabra was really impressive", Tolentino reported. 191 Radford revealed that Tolentino "believed that the creatures and events she saw in Species were happening in reality in Puerto Rico at the time", and therefore concludes that "the most important chupacabra description cannot be trusted". (1] This, Radford believes, seriously undermines the credibility of the chupacabra as a real animal.”
