Growing up in the late 60s/early 70s, the giant monsters that ate people were especially scary. Dracula might bite you but these would chew you up, and Gaira would even spit out your clothes! Also seen: Gyaos, Rodan, and Baragon. #kaiju #daikaiju

Edit from the idjit here: The legend states a Friday night, thus my specific date. Would’ve been nice to remember to add that to the original post..

That’s just it - they LOOK like normal people but are rotten in so many ways inside

It’s the smug false piety that gets me

I got booted from a VFW post because I wouldn’t stand with my hand over my heart when this played.

If you see this, QTP with a horror movie that shares the same first letter as your name 👻

I’m cheating a bit on “horror” but this one came out the year I was born and is a favorite!

This isn’t creepy. Not creepy at all:

I pre-ordered and have received this book but the bookseller’s website shows no delivery, still in transit, with expected delivery Friday. Just what in God’s name do I have in my to be read pile?

Do you read Sutter Cane?

A book cover by Sutter Cane titled “In the Mouth of Madness.” It shows a man being chased in an old town by creepy things at night

We share a birthday, so I am especially fond of her. She’s such an active presence for the fans and industry, too!

I can imagine! All the personalities and stories from Hammer! I have an online friend & writing partner in the UK who is friends with both her and Madeline Smith. The envy just oozes from my pores

22 days! I’m cramming in as much seasonal goodness as I can, but have two essays due for a book and magazine with a Halloween deadline. May have to burn some midnight oil…

Wow! I must hunt for episodes online. I fell in love with her in The Golden Voyage of Sinbad

Absolutely… for the young ‘uns. 11:00 is a tough haul for my tired old bones the days. Back in the 70s, I was never in bed before 1:00 AM on the weekends - too many monster movies on the tube!

#werewolfwednesday In legends from Italy, France, and Germany, it was believed that if you sleep outside on a summer night with the full moon shining directly on your face, you will become a werewolf! August 28, 2026 is the next qualifying date, so plan your camping trip accordingly…
