I love how many promotional things from F/X (1986) are aware that the star of the movie is this animatronic monster that shows up for like one scene.

34 years ago today, I was released into the world. Two days before that, David Schmoeller’s Netherworld was released to #VHS by Full Moon Entertainment. These are both things to be celebrated. So this weekend, I wish a happy birthday to myself… but, more importantly, a happy birthday to Netherworld.

Today's best find was this 1977 Scream Gems book by Mark Baraket, which has these wonderful illustrated sidebars for every chapter by illustrator Ted Enik, but also, bang-up job captioning that Matango photo, guys.

Why has there not been, for my entire life, someone on every street corner loudly and incessantly banging a drum and shouting that The Boston Strangler (1968) fucking. looks. like. this.

"The point is not realism, but presence and sensation." Good stuff about puppets and physical effects that also introduced me to a beautiful-looking video game I had never heard of.

Stumbled upon this satirical song from the 60s called “Your Friendly Liberal Neighborhood KKK” on YouTube. Performing this song back in the 60s was brave bruh 😭 “And if you don’t like that then call the cops cuz chances are they’re us” 😭😭 youtu.be/J3TcUA5jE6o?...

Today I learned that the first survival horror video game was probably something called Project Firestart on the C64, and that its monster was pretty much definitely lifted from the Tendril Inhumanoids toy.

Stir of Echoes (1999) | It's tempting to say something about the shadow of movies like Sixth Sense and Ring, but given that the former came out just the previous month, and the latter the year before, and that in Japan, maybe there was just something in the air.

This text crawl/voiceover (from the bonkers 1992 abstinence propaganda cartoon If You Love Me, Show Me) should play in front of every gonzo exploitation film from now on.

Recently got a book of short stories by Emanuel Lesehrad, a turn-of-the-century writer who I had never previously heard of. Read the first story tonight and it was about a horrible mushroom. So, good start.

If that video didn't nauseate you and/or you're a sicko, you can get my zine, DEMON ZINE SHINJUKU, here!

The vampire cat is envious of those who can go to the beach during the day, and despite being feared, treats everyone with great kindness, which is no one’s fault for him being cursed.

I am so excited for when it's my turn to watch this... thing.

For my sins, the period when I was really into capes-and-tights superhero comics was the 90s, and one of the titles I was into was the New Warriors.
