We’ll see if the movie ever comes together, but it would be a *struggle* because it is so gruesome
As much as it pains me to visit trauma upon @brennacgray.bsky.social, should that Something is Killing the Children adaptation ever actually happen, I will beg for it to be an October episode. Beg and plead, even.

Today on HKHS: @brennacgray.bsky.social and @joelipsett.bsky.social kick off scary season with DARK HARVEST.
The book isn't exactly YA, but it mostly works as a Vietnam war allegory.
The film has elements of camp and great practical FX, though its incredibly grim ending doesn't entirely satisfy.
