I watched History of the Occult tonight without really knowing anything about it going in and thought it was great. Actually quite scary and well done. It’s a little funny watching a movie really succeed at what Late Night With the Devil was trying to do.

These two projects got a little too complicated and are being moved to January to make sure that they are done in the style that they deserve. There will be a different main video next week though.
I’ve had a problem with this script I’ve been working on, but now I’m feeling good about it. As a result of this though there’s going to be two main videos this month. Hopefully a week apart from each other, not a part one and part two situation but still related to each other.

Got to this boss in Silent Hill F and the game is really clicking for me now. I don’t agree with everything it’s doing, but I’m really enjoying watching it come into its own and I’m liking it way more than the 2 remake as of now.

Now reading this. I’ve been really excited to check it out based on how folks talk about it.

Started playing Silent Hill F, and I genuinely do like it, but I’m having the same issues I had last year with the 2 remake where it just makes me feel like I’d rather be playing the old ones. Strange issue with this series that I don’t ever feel with new Resident Evils.

Man it’s been such a weird month for me, I only watched six movies all of September that weren’t work related which like never happens. I’ll have to do better in October about it.

I have always been a proponent of the Critter Ball concept, and I think more media needs to use it.

Re-watched Cabaret (1972) and suddenly realized that Joel Grey's performance as the Emcee seriously delivered one of the most terrifying characters of 70s cinema.

I read this this past week. Evil, evil book, but extremely well done, impactful, actually heartbreaking. I don’t even know what to say about it other than it will stick with me for a long time and that I would highly recommend it.
