It's like Mister Romero said
When the dead simply won't stay dead
All that you can do
Is have an aim that's true
And pop a bullet in their head

Wyrdlings!

This week marks the 57th anniversary of Oscar Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead” premiering and since it’s the season, we give you:

“Walking after Midnight – Shambling, Shuffling, Lumbering Undead!”

As this week’s #WyrdWednesday topic – let’s take a walk on the dead side! 🧟

Goodnight from passengers on the Dracula Bus, journeying from Coreham’s censoring council to Ashcourt so they can see the banned film ‘Satan’s Shore’. Goodnight from Holly Webber, feeling omen-shadowed since reading the Black Library’s Book of St. Urian. Goodnight from Hookland.

#SciFiFri cat story time : )

somewhere, after some final countdown, a forlorn feline space traveller knows there's no coming back, wipes a tear and watches planet earth dwindle in the distance ...a precious memory to be treasured

Time for a little #SciFiFri cat story : )

somewhere, in some mythically mutated future, a tragic feline Icarus is hoping for a soft landing

Final post for #WyrdWednesday: something barmy from Boris Dolgov. (No idea where it comes from, I'm afraid, it's just one of the very many weird pics I've harvested from numerous forgotten sources over the years. Perhaps someone can tell me?).

#WyrdWednesday Skrzyńsko Parish Church, Poland, was said to be home to a giant spider that lived in the attic above the dining room. It's venom dripped down onto the priests food & poisoned several of them, so the townsfolk investigated the attic & discovered & killed it.

🖼️ Fritz Schwimbeck (1920)
A terrifying black and white artwork of a brick lined room illuminated only by a startled man holding a lantern, which has cast a deep shadow of himself across the floor. Lurking in the corner is the cause of his distress, as he has spotted a truly gigantic spider there.

Is there anything more everyday insidious, more invasive than the ant? They're another species that I'm pretty sure arrived inside some alien meteorite rather than originating here on earth ...the big ones are the worst : )
