Our friend the Herveo Plump Toad lives in cool, moist places high in the Andean mountains of Colombia! They are a small toad, growing to just over an inch long! (photo by Carlos A. Londoño Guarnizo)

Ticks on an Eel: Museum Specimen is a First of its Kind
Two ticks found on an 1873 electric eel specimen mark the first recorded case of ticks parasitizing a fish—but only documented just this year.

Hey, I know it's not Giving Tuesday anymore (I am deep in the paper mines), but if you've ever wanted to help me out, please consider donating to keep PRI and Ithaca's Museum of the Earth open. They have until December 31 to raise 1M to prevent foreclosure. priweb.donorsupport.co/page/FUNWALK...

Talipot palms in a Rio de Janeiro park are flowering for the first and only time in their lives.
Decades-old palm trees in Rio de Janeiro flower for the first — and only — time
Talipot palms in a Rio de Janeiro park are flowering for the first and only time in their lives. These palms were introduced by landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx in the 1960s.

Anyone who has offered to help me financially, please instead help out PRI / Paleontological Research Institution. They run a wonderful small museum in Ithaca at risk of foreclosure. They offer special sensory-friendly days, fully-masked days, fossil IDs, and an online gift shop.

We don't talk enough about the brilliant work that artist Jesse Santos did for bottom-of-the-barrel comic publishers like Gold Key. Just look at this Doctor Spektor cover art!

Halloween Marathon Day 18: The Ghoul (1933). A former lost film recovered in a lost Cinema vault in the UK. While not as thrilling or story driven as other contemporary horror films, the character acting really saves this film. The Ghoul is full of quotable lines and memorable performances.

Halloween Marathon Day 17: In a Violent Nature (2024). The over the shoulder tracking perspective trained on the killer makes this a very unique and fresh entry into the slasher genre. The story feels secondary to the unique cinematography but I really enjoyed it regardless!

Halloween Marathon Day 16: the Man Who Laughs (1928). I have so many glowing this things to say about this treasure but a horror film it is not. Gothic epic romance probably fits it best but no one enjoys arguments about genre. We are privileged that this story made in the Silent film era...

JK Rowling doesn't recognise the croque madame as a truly female sandwich.
Just learned the difference between a croque monsieur and a croque madame is an egg and it’s named that because the egg looks like a ladies fancy hat. That’s when society worked, when we were all putting little hats on sandwiches.

Halloween Marathon Day 15: Phantasm (1979). A cult classic that should be more widely known outside horror fans. It's unique story, practical effects, and loveable characters bring me back to this movie every Autumn. I saw it at PhilaMOCA for the first time on the big screen!

Halloween Marathon Day 14: The Invisible Man (1933). Claude Rains is both funny and terrifying as the titular charcter. He may also be the deadliest of all universal monster villains in that in the film he kills over 100 people by causing a train disaster. Take that Dracula!

Halloween Marathon Day 13: Gacy: Serial Killer Next Door (2024). The first movie of the marathon I actively disliked. Not only is the acting poor, not only is Gacy especially cringey, the story isn't what happened in real life. Cannot recommend this one even for sheer curiosity sake.

Halloween Marathon Day 12: Another double feature with Weapons (2025) and House of the Long Shadows (1983). A sensational pairing of a modern horror sensation and a star studded haunted house mystery. The former is everything the genre is becoming and the latter an exemplar of the grandeur it was!
