Mistigram: one person's composition is another tribunal's evidence of war crimes. This artfully-arranged ##PETSCII pyramid of human skulls is the handiwork of @littlebitspace.bsky.social, resonant with his deck of skeletal Tarot cards. It was included in the spooky MIST1022 artpack.

If you take your time and are mindful of their centres of gravity, you can balance a human skull in the space between two other human skulls, nested in the gaps between three lower human skulls.

Mistigram: this #PETSCII screen, drawn by Bema, depicts a hideous Lovecraftian creature - the piece is called The Deep Ones - slithering out of the ocean like an angry jar of thawed frozen chopped spinach. It was included in the spooky MIST1021 artpack collection released four years ago this month.

One small step for sea life, one giant leap for batrachian-kind.

Mistigram: Atonalosprey drew this #teletext portrait of an ominous #fortuneteller conferring with the other side in her #crystalball. This screen was included in the spooky MIST1023 artpack collection released two years ago this month.

A dramatically-lit fortune teller in exotic garb peers low over her glowing crystal ball, looking for possibilities and fates.

Mistigram: Darkman Almighty loves his television series, and in a rare departure from his Star Trek wheelhouse drew this moody #ANSIart tribute to Joss Whedon's late '90s #BuffyTheVampireSlayer series. This screen was included in last year's spooky MIST1024 artpack collection.

Mistigram: If you dig blood & guts for Halloween, put away the slasher flick & fire up the medical imaging. Nick Lakowski painted this cross-section of an incidentaloma, an unexpected tumour encountered while looking for something else. It was included in the MIST1017 artpack.

A cluster of living structures, interconnected with passages and openings, floats in a liminal organic space like a tiny SF squatter settlement in an interdimensional space.

Mistigram: @horsenburger.bsky.social drew this ##teletext portrait of ##the10000VoltGhost from Watt A Shocking Ghost, S1E4 of the ##ScoobyDoo Dynomutt hour, first aired in Oct 1976. This screen was included in the spooky MIST1018 artpack collection released 7 years ago.

A humanoid figure with only very vague facial features glows orange and yellow with the power of electricity.

Mistigram: this illustration by AFlamingoCup appears to be making a comment on the ethical and principled behaviors of priests (or at least _these_ priests), and it's not a positive one. This piece was included in the spooky MIST1020 artpack collection released five years ago.

If there is an opposite of holiness, these two dark haloed and horned figures in the archway wearing liturgical vestments are it.

Mistigram: when he drew #AbrahamLincoln for his #DeadPresidents series, Atonalosprey couldn't imagine that in 2025 he'd be actively pulling his mouldering remains out of the grave to weigh in on the triumph of the mobocratic spirit. This piece was included in the spooky MIST1022 artpack.

I've heard him described as lean, gaunt, thin and haggard, but this is ridiculous.

Mistigram: this ##teletext portrait of the ##Phantasm horror movie series' antagonist ##theTallMan, as played by the late ##AngusScrimm, was drawn by @horsenburger.bsky.social and included in the spooky MIST1023 artpack collection two years ago this month!

A spooky long-haired old man in a suit grimaces at the viewer, surrounded by sinister floating bladed chromed spheres.

Mistigram: Memento te mori means Remember you must die, & mortality is sure on the mind of the person looking in this mirror. @littlebitspace.bsky.social won 1st place with it in the ##PETSCII compo at last year's @flashparty.ar ! It was also included in the spooky MIST1024 artpack collection

In front of the calligraphed words Memento Te Mori, a person stands in front of a mirror and sees their skeleton looking back at them.

And while we're on a EuphoniX bender, nothing can compete with the musical anarchy of "Inherit the Stars" by JaZz, this is the music I played loud to let my parents know I was in a bad mood: mistigris.org/newmedia/mis...

Mistigram: here's Lobo/Spitoufs' #ANSIart cover page to #EdgarAllanPoe's #MasqueOfTheRedDeath, part of their #ANSIPOE collection illustrating Poe's complete works for BBS-based consumption. They were all included in the MIST1017 artpack collection released 8 years ago this month.

Before a dark and moody backdrop are visible cursive letters spelling out The Masque Of The Red Death, all captured in an ornate grey frame

Mistigram: this #teletext illustration of a hapless explorer blundering into the tentacles of a Great Old One (hm, what's in this cave? Smells... fishy!) was drawn by Uglifruit and included in the spooky MIST1020 artpack collection released five years ago this month.

The tiny silhouette of a human is seen raising a torch aloft in a large darkened chamber, unable to perceive that the curled stalagmites around him on the cavern floor are actually tentacular appendages attached to the red-eyed face of the molluscoid giant peering down on him contemptuously

Mistigram: this creepy #PETSCII illustration, depicting the mad scientist subject of the 1922 #HPLovecraft story #HerbertWestReanimator, was created by bnjmnbrgmn and included in the spooky MIST1021 artpack collection released four years ago this month.

In an underground cave laboratory, a blonde doctor in deep shadow brandishes a hypodermic syringe at an unwholesome protoplasmic mass sitting on a stainless steel countertop in front of colourful tubes of mysterious bubbling fluids.
