My one issue is that it wraps up itself up very abruptly.

Mike at @horrorgeek.bsky.social on one of my favourite horror movies from the 80's; one that was so smart, genre-savvy, stylish, moody, violent, and beautifully-acted, but unfortunately far too weird and badly-publicised to ever have had a chance in 80's multiplexes. God, but I love this film.

Hey Bluesky! Could you help me spread the word about my Patreon? Signing up will allow me create more fabric art monsters and creatures. As a patron, you'll receive positive affirmations from Felmer, etiquette advice from Mothman, and other fun, bizarre posts. www.patreon.com/jeremycreature

Here's a lovely photo of a plethora of hand-sewn fabric art creatures. There's a watermelon creature with a red face, eight black seed-like eyes, and a wide mouth with five sharp teeth. There's a white ghost trinket bag covered with purple embroidered flowers. She has a gray face, sparkly black eyes and a little frown. There's a strawberry creature with three bulbous green eyes. There's a watermelon ghost, and a black creature with sharp teeth wearing a bulbous eye earring. There's a large purple creature with many yellow eyes and an open mouth, with a little green creature popping her head out. All the creatures are sitting on green fur and there's a galaxy print fabric in the background.

Oh god yeah...I'm too old for that YT drama shit. Miike is hard to recommend a starting point because his body of work is so eclectic. Do you want horror? Do you want Yakuza? Do you want Samurai? Do you want something really messed up? All are options... :p

Mike Bracken @horrorgeek.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Yeah I think its fascinating that the character directly inspired Batman, and then Burton's Batman gave them this blueprint for a film, but then half the audience just thought it was a Batman ripoff. That's like some crazy rabbit hole of unfortunate shit. :p

Mike Bracken @horrorgeek.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Oh that's how it was intended...killed that whole franchise before it ever got off the ground. I think the movie has issues, but it's pretty and I like it overall.

I've been making YT videos for almost 8 years. In that time I've seen the internet make so many people mean & insufferable. I get it. You're miserable/unhappy/pissed at the world. Yelling at strangers online won't make you feel better. Log off, play with your kids, pet a dog...
