All right, FINE, maybe it's not going to *suck* as such, but I reserve the right to remain snarky and cynical for posting purposes. #carrie #harumph

That didn't go well at all. Anyway, I've been talked into watching the new CARRIE, and we're about four minutes in and I'm confident I will hate the living shit out of this "adaptation." Let's be fair, give it one episode, I guess we'll find out. It's gonna suck, though.

Hooooly shrieking sheepshit, #HARBINGER feels like a long-lost BBC weird horror feature from the late 70s, and I am so very here for that, gonna shut up now and let this all just wash right cozily over me, oh my! #mrrrr

Gawt-dang, the pre-credit sequence feels like exactly the kind of movie that Edgar Wright's trailer for DON'T was evoking, whee! #HARBINGER

OK, wait, WHAT?!? There's a creature feature called GOD OF FROGS that I only found out about just as I was hitting Play on HARBINGER? Well, you know what, Movie Fates? Fuck you, I'm still gonna watch HARBINGER, although GOD OF FROGS is next obviously, half-point to you, you Fatey dipshits.

All that notwithneverthebeinglesssaidstanding, I guess next up is HARBINGER, and while I hate to announce a viewing in advance lest I end up with nothing of interest to say, whatever, next up is that movie I said, and should this be my last comment on the subject, may that be let to suffice.

In conclusion, INFIRMARY takes a minute to really kick into gear, and possibly sort of maybe kind of falls apart toward the end, but in between... this is the primo shit, man, fun fact.

Webberly Rattenkraft @factrat.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
Taking advantage of an infuriating and inexplicable buffering pause to officially take back every snarky thing I said during the first thirty minutes of INFIRMARY because holy shit this has gotten very, very good indeed w00t streaming again Silence Protocol re-engaged!

Spooky bird stories. My Halloween comic from 2024.
A comic titled Spooky Bird Stories. In panel 1, a turkey vulture is telling stories to other vultures, and it says, "She walked toward the source of the terrible smell. She got closer and closer, and then, to her horror, she saw... No dead body." A black vulture says "No!" and a turkey vulture says "Did someone already eat it??" In panel 2, a northern cardinal is telling a story to some songbirds. It says "They peered through the windows of the house at the gory scene. Zombies had smashed through the door in the night. The homeowner was dead. But worst of all... He hadn't refilled the feeders." An eastern bluebird says "Aaah!" and an American goldfinch says "It can't be!". In panel 3, A screech owl is telling a story to other owls. It says "And then the ghost fluffed itself up really big to appear scarier." A saw-whet owl gasps, and a long-eared owl says "Horrifying!". In panel 4, a downy woodpecker is telling a story to other woodpeckers, and says "The eerie sound rang through the dark woods. Tap-tap. Tap-tap. It was the distinctive two-part knock of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. The species had returned from the dead... FOR REVENGE." A red-cockaded woodpecker says "Yesss".

Well, that sucks. Whatever you think of the assorted trash flicks¹ Marjoe Gortner appeared in, you can't deny that he always gave each role everything he had, be it FOOD OF THE GODS or STARCRASH.

🎃
A 7 panel comic by the artist. First panel: The artist is running from a distance towards a group of people playing basketball in the park. The artist is holding a pumpkin above their head and screaming "AAAAAAAAA". Second panel: The artist has leapt up and is in position to slam dunk the pumpkin into the basketball hoop. Panel three: the pumpkin splatters violently against the backboard of the basketball hoop, sending orange pumpkin goop everywhere. Panel four: the players stand staring, covered in pumpkin goop and shocked. Panel five: the artist stares at them wide-eyed, also covered in the goop and says "it's October FIRST". Their hand reaches towards their face. Panel six: the artist rips off their own face like a rubber mask to reveal a skeleton beneath. Panel 7: the group of players stand shocked and horrified, watching as the skeleton falls to the ground in a pile of bones, the sound effects says "CLATTER".

Ballpoint pen, watercolor, colored pencil, a little crayon, and charcoal pencil. 

Our guy pulls up deep in the forest on his 2-speed bike. He’s flanked by tall dark trees and his path is blocked by a massive spider. He lets the Big Fella know it’s on. “Big Fella,” he says. “I fixed my 2-speed. You still wanna race.” Reader, you know Big Fella wants in on that action. Next slide.Against a starry night sky we see silhouettes of Big Fella and our man racing down a hill. It’s unclear in the drawing who will win but Big Fella is likely about to pull away.

Cover for Chuck Wendig's THE STAIRCASE IN THE WOODS. It features one of those staircases that wraps in a circle (I'M NOT A STAIRMAKER I DON'T KNOW THE PROPER TERM, OKAY?) in the middle of the woods, backlit by a golden light. There's a bird (I'M NOT A BIRDOLOGIST EITHER, I DON'T KNOW) resting on the railing in the middle of the stairs.Cover for Adam Cesare's INFLUENCER. It's all very '80s pink and pasterl blue, with a hand holding a phone in the center. On the top of the phone is a man staring menacingly, and on the bottom, there's a woman with what looks like fear in her eyes.Cover for T. Kingfisher's WOLF WORM. It has flowers and plants against a black background, going in and out of the white letters of the title. Cover for John Durgin's I WOKE UP A FINAL GIRL. A rusty, dirty knife that's dripping a dark fluid is top center, with a woman in silhouette (OMG I hate trying to spell that stupid word) behind it, looking as if she's leaning up and rubbing her eyes.
