Who are you people? Seriously, what is this place? (He/him)
Spooky Season `26 viewing continues with Don't Look Now (1973), a thriller film with elements of the preternatural such as premonitions, ESP, etc. The film is influential and very anxious in tone, and it borrows a tremendous amount of production value from Venice in the Seventies. 🎈🎈🎈🎈/🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈
Frog in Chrono Trigger's choice to go by "Frog" is powerful because he was cursed to be a frog against his will and has no desire to ever engage in the act of frogging. He's making a statement that while he is an objective sense a frog, he is not a frogger, and continues to conduct himself as a man.
barleybap but she's dressed as a skeleton@barleybap.bsky.social · 22h agoThe video game title being Frogger as opposed to just Frog implies that frogging is not something that all frogs naturally do by existing, and that becoming a frogger - one who frogs.- is a conscious choice that only some frogs make.
HALLOWEEN was released on this day in 1978 and there's probably no movie I've written about more! Here are just a few of the things! For @vulture.com, a deep dive into its making and impact: buff.ly/w9gpicV

hamburgers are well known for being named after hamburg. so of course cheeseburgers are named after the mythical Cheeseburg
Cyborg eyes sound really cool until you realize that you couldn't see vampires with them.

You know that song "The Boys Are Back in Town", by Thin Lizzy? It was published in 1976. It is half a century old. **hops on my penny-farthing and pedals away** 🚲🧐🎩
Spooky Season `26 viewing continues with Dark Was the Night (2014) a creature feature where a logging operation drives a cryptid into lethal proximity with a small town near the woods. Morose and mopey, the film loses points for weird color design and a ropey CG monster at the end. 🐐🐐/🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
There should be a yoga pose where you lie under a bed and grab people’s feet like a monster.
THE WITCHING TREE (2019) Acrylic on Illustration Board - 6” x 6” An accidental shape on a scrap of illustration board evoked a sort of Lovecraftian tree. The board originally had a figure sketch on it from the work I did for Lucca Comics & Games.
Why would you ever play a Castlevania game when you could just irl smash a hole in your wall and eat the rotisserie chicken hidden within
The ghosts of 19 innocents hanged in 1692 on Proctor’s Ledge in Salem, Mass can now spend an eternity looking out over the parking lot of a Walgreens.

Spooky Season `26 viewing continues with Sugar Hill (1974), a Blaxploitation film where a young lady uses voodoo to wreak revenge on the gangsters that murdered her man in an effort to steal his nightclub. A bit sleazy, a bit sexy, interesting intersections of race, religion, and labor. 🧟🧟🧟🧟/🧟🧟🧟🧟🧟
