yeah i’ll go out tonight i just need to meditate over my illustrated YA horror novel covers for three or nine hours first🧘🏻‍♀️
the cover of spellbound by christopher pike shows a boy and girl abruptly rising from the boulder they were sitting on the cover of the barking ghost by RL stine shows a snarling white dog with red eyes the cover of petals on the wind by VC andrews shows a blond boy and his sister in the center of a red flower the cover of bunnicula by deborah and james howe shows a rabbit with vampire teeth and red eyes

the best open-world game is going outside in october to play hopscotch with friends and then having an apple or a sandwich with a little butter

fever in the bathtub, lost on bergen st... ❤️‍🩹 jacob's ladder (1990) inspired silent hill and now, even after 35 years of change, it is still the wounded heart of the franchise

💉 my essay for the new 4k restoration premiering today at @ifccenter.bsky.social:

www.gamesradar.com/entertainmen...
The best Silent Hill movie is the underrated '90s horror that originally inspired the games, and it's now back in theaters with a terrifying new restoration

fuck the world i'm rating horror villains based on how likely i'd be to start a family with them:

michael myers –– not much of a conversationalist 5/10

jason voorhees — probably stinks like trout 3/10

candyman — i am powerless to his thrall 9/10

jigsaw puppet – i don't like him 1/10

the only thing keeping me afloat these days is "soft glam" horror – 🕸️ red lights in suspiria, blue eyeshadow in the love witch, all the haunted protagonists of @astralshiftpro.com's genius girl games, the only ones pretty enough to triumph over hell
