Since many of us are cancelling streaming services, now might also be a good time to support writers and artists. Times are extremely tough for creatives, so why not buy a book, commission an art piece, sign up for a Patreon, tip your favorite creators. Everything helps.

Hey folks, @xenofauna.bsky.social here did the cover of the recent issue of @unwinnable.com where I wrote about Godzilla, and now they're looking for some extra cash to get supplies to make more amazing art, if anyone would like to throw in.

Truth is stranger than fiction as we learn about the wild real-life history of Hollow Earth theory and how it influenced NOTES FROM UNDERGROUND in the latest installment of Hollow Earth Expeditions!

Got something very exciting coming up for the Halloween season...

We have poet laureates. Can I be someplace's monster laureate?

Not only was Arthur Spiderwick inspired by this legend, I dedicated the books to him, which were illustrated and designed in Rackham's style. I took his words to heart, and the Spiderwick books are proof of that. A throwback to an era of amazing, spellbinding bookmaking created for a new generation.

Okay, these rule.

Seeing a lot of posts about lists of places to boycott to send a message to ABC/Disney/whoever and it's just sort of driving home the reminder that a big part of the problem is that all these company are really just one big company.

Sometimes, assuming you are the same kind of dipshit I am, you will re-watch the 2003 Uwe Boll film HOUSE OF THE DEAD some twenty-odd years later. And at least a time or two during that re-watch, you'll catch yourself wondering, "Why can't someone make a *good* movie that looks like this?"

SCAREWAVES: BEYOND THE GRAVE | Once again, @slimyswampghost.bsky.social demonstrates that he does monsters better than just about anybody in the business.

"With so many heroes, villains, and play options available, you would have to play Marvel United a whole lot more than, like, twice to ever see it all."

Tonight, we literally sold out the Stray Cat Film Center for week two of our month-long Kazuo Umezu Horror Theater series! So if you want to be there next week (and you do), get your tickets early!

If you happen to be in the Kansas City area, just a reminder that this is happening TONIGHT at the Stray Cat Film Center, and you won't want to miss it.

Every week, from now until the release of NOTES FROM UNDERGROUND from @wordhorde.bsky.social, I will be posting a new installment of Hollow Earth Expeditions, where I'll be exploring some of the many influences that shaped the collection, and my own odd conception of the Hollow Earth.

Tomorrow you'll be getting another installment of Hollow Earth Expeditions on my blog but, in the meantime, just a reminder that this is coming out really soon, and I'd love it if you were inclined to preorder or even just spread the word.

TOMORROW NIGHT! Grab some snacks and cozy up with us at the Stray Cat Film Center as Kazuo Umezu's Horror Theater continues with two eerie oddities from Japan's video era!

Cover reveal! Here's your first look at Notes from Underground: The Hollow Earth Story Cycle, a new collection of linked tales of cosmic horror and masterful strangeness from Orrin Grey (@orringrey.com) coming next month, featuring this creepily chthonic cover art by Matthew Revert!

Some time ago, I was researching Scooby-Doo (as one does) and learned that they made exactly one (1) direct-to-video movie where everyone was Muppet-style puppets. Which is how I ended up watching SCOOBY-DOO ADVENTURES: THE MYSTERY MAP (2013).

Tonight, I watched a bunch of suitably Halloween-y bullshit, including the legitimately great short "Candystealer" and this 1988 "Tales and Legends of the Ozarks" tape, in which folklorist Phillip Steele recounts legends from... you guessed it, the Ozarks!

YES! Everyone please go watch "Candystealer!" It's so good!

"Candy Stealer," a 5-minute short film by Adam Lenhart from 2019 is an absolute Halloween season gem. Unfortunately, I don't know where you can watch it but, if you get the opportunity, it's absolutely worth your time.

Obsessed with this bat from what was apparently a TV commercial for a haunted house that used to be in Kansas City.

Fixing to make this pop-up Hallmark haunted house book (A VISIT TO THE HAUNTED HOUSE by Dean Walley, art by Arlene Noel, c. 1972) my whole entire identity.

More and more people are saying it.
