Short Horror Story #15 The Color Out of Space by Lovecraft
Much better than the last of his I read and I can see why it is adapted so much.

October Horror Movie 15:Mermaid Chronicles Part 1: She Creature 2001
Silly title aside this was a fun time. Very curious if the monster is cgi or practical because it holds up very well

Big sea monster with long claws and a crown of what look like flippers

Sex scenes are almost never "gratuitous" or "unnecessary." You learn things about characters and relationships during sex that you can't really learn any other way, such as whether they're into fisting.

Short Horror Story #14 Camp of the Dog by Algernon Blackwood
I feel in someways this would have been scarier if it had been from Joan's pov but considering where the story goes it makes sense it wasn't. Blackwood is so good at describing nature.
Liked it but some parts aged badly

Jack Kirby: "I was raised in an area where you had a lot of gangsters. I know what gangsters do. Hitler's gonna want war. You start jumpin' around and giving him what he wants, he's gonna feed on your weakness."

MARK: So the capacity for great good and evil is inherent in everyone?
JACK: Of course. I was dating my wife at the time Hitler was coming on, and I did this editorial cartoon which showed Neville Chamberlain patting a boa con-strictor, and the boa had a bulge called Czechoslovakia. Chamberlain had just given Czechoslovakia to Hitler, okay.
And the boa had Hitler's mustache. I showed it to my boss at the syndicate and he says, "How dare a 19-year-old like you do a cartoon like that? What do you know?" I says "Well, I was raised in an area where you had a lot of gangsters. I know what gangsters do. Hitler's gonna want war. You start jumpin' around and giving him what he wants, he's gonna feed on your weakness." And Hitler wanted more and more until there was a face-off.

Rest in peace, Drew Struzan. His movie posters are much more than marketing. They're some of the finest pop art you'll ever see. Look at this masterpiece:

Losing your security clearance because of AI-generated robot smut? Corny. This never would've happened if he simply gave real artists money to draw smut of his very own robot girl OC instead

Zaslav has reported that he expects the new Harry Potter series to run for 10 years. Disinterest can end an IP this big. The Fantastic Beasts franchise was killed by critical and commercial failure. So please, don't even hate-watch the show. And spread awareness on The Author's transphobia.
