Moloch was good and I recommend it. It also means I’ve completed the Folk Horror criteria and have yet to repeat a film. #SideQuest #61MoviesOfHalloween Pics for the paperwork. If only I was as organized and efficient in every other part of my life.

Picture of an Excel file listing 31 movie titles to complete the 31 New To Me criteria of 61 Movies of Halloween.

Picture of an Excel file listing 14 movie titles to meet the At Least Two in Each Decade from the 60s to the 20s. At least one movie in each decade must have been previously unseen. (All of mine were.)

Picture of four film titles to meet the Folk Horror criteria (all folk must be widely accepted as folk horror and all must be previously unseen).

I have read two stories from this and I didn’t understand either one.

Cover of the book The Ghost Stories of Edith Wharton (paperback). The cover includes a picture or probably drawing showing what looks like a ghostly female figure in a long white gown, standing in the doorway of a room with old-fashioned (maybe Victorian?) furniture and floral wallpaper.

I’m going to have to go with 4.

My first movie from the 60s is #Movie11 and is also, somehow, new to me! Night of the Big Heat, starring that madcap duo Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. It also has one of the best Italian movie posters I've seen. #61MoviesOfHalloween

Picture of the Italian movie poster for Night of the Big Heat which in Italian was Demoni di Fuoco. It shows Christoper Lee's face surrounded red psychedelic swirls like octopus arms, and lists the main cast members. It also says it was filmed in Eastman Color.

Wandered into the Middleton Historical Museum today and found this seasonally appropriate HAIR WREATH because the past was creepy AF.

Picture of a wreath framed under glass that is made out of locks of human hair. This was apparently a thing that people did in the 1890s, so just remember that when people start talking about the good ole days.

But speaking of creature features, I went to McDonald’s today:

Picture of the box of the toy from a Happy Meal containing a figurine of the My Melody Hello Kitty character crossed with Mothra. It’s a cartoon and it’s adorable.

Sweet Jesus, there’s NINE of them now.

Nine wild turkeys along the side of a paved driveway that curves off to the top left of the picture. Actually the one furthest away is in the middle of the driveway. Heaven help us.

Took a stroll to Kwik Trip. Made it back alive.

In the style of the Facebook “marker safe” images with the little blue flag at the top. Reads”Marked safe from wild turkeys today”.

We have reached the scene of my favorite meme. #JurassicPark

Because nothing says “savage summer” more than the malt beverage version of the cocktail that only exists to get people wasted. I also bought a six pack of New Glarus’ Totally Naked lager as a palate cleanser, in homage to JB’s love of B-movie breasts.

I knew some boys in kindergarten who would relate. Anyway, Mead #2: #TheLastDriveIn

Said mead. Also, I read Barker’s Books of Blood back in the day so I must have read this story too but I have no memory of it. Either it didn’t leave much of an impression on me or I had a GREAT adolescence. #TheLastDriveIn @republicandalek.bsky.social

Posting this picture of the cloud hanging ominously over us just in case I’m never heard from again.

Picture shows farmland stretching out into the distance, with tilled but not-yet-planted rows and some scattered clumps of bushes and trees. In the sky hangs a large low dark cloud. There are some striations in the underside of the cloud.

All caught up on what I missed on Monday, and appears the cold, unfeeling universe has once again thwarted me. All brackets have busted so I’m choosing to root for the whale tonight because I saw this earlier. Look at those teeth! #2026MMM #UWGeologyMuseum

Picture of an exhibit at the Geology Museum at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The exhibit is of an ancestral whale from the Tertiary Period of the Miocene Epoch. The skull was found in Chesapeake Bay, Maryland. There is an artist’s rendering of what the whale probably looked like, as well as the upper part of the whale’s skull. At the bottom of the case is what I think is part of a Miocene dolphin’s skull, also found in Chesapeake Bay.

Well, I hope both that they’re taking the piss and that it doesn’t taste like… well, anyway. I’ll go sneer at it the next time I’m over there shopping for Driftless booze.

I’m as excited as a bobcat with a new box. #2026MMM

Well, the Raptor came and went and all I got was this turkey in a tree.

Speaking of things that enrage you, look what I found at Kwik Trip! #TheLastDriveIn

I walked past this tree this morning while walking in a neighborhood I don’t usually walk in and it took me a second to figure out why it seemed so familiar.

Picture of a small to medium sized winter tree in a fenced in front yard. The fence is metal. There is a No Parking sign on the fence. The tree has a very straight thin trunk and lots of spreading branches that start more than halfway up. The branches look a bit like arms reaching up to the sky.

I’m watching one of the classic Doctor Who stories on my iPad (full disclosure: it’s a fairly old model), and the captions are totally off. I’m not even sure they’re the captions for this episode. But worse: the captions setting is currently at “Off”. Is my iPad possessed? Is this iPad dementia?

Pic of iPad screen showing the Fifth Doctor. The caption reads “Bring me the Doctor and his companion” and it’s clear that this is completely disconnected from what’s happening on screen.

Of all of my friends/frenemies, online and off, I feel like you will be the one to appreciate how hard I laughed at this the most.

Screenshot of a Threads exchange. The OP posted “What’s [sic] makes a person choose cremation over being buried? Why would you want to be burned up?” And the reply post was “Because scattering my remains will be traumatizing if I’m not cremated first.”

I’m genuinely alarmed by the suggested alt text for that GIF. @republicandalek.bsky.social

A screenshot of the suggested alt text for the previous GIF that reads “a man is laying on top of a woman on a bed with the words ‘party hard’ written on the wall.

I assure you all that there is no woman lying on that bed and the words are not written on the wall. AI will be the death of us all.

I was reading a review of the latest remake of Silent Night Deadly Night (directed by Mike P. Nelson! Unfortunately the reviewer was not that complimentary) and now I’m going to have to hunt down that Tales from the Crypt episode.

Screenshot from a movie review on The A.V. Club’s website - not overly positive, basically states the movie has a lot of good ideas but never commits to any of them, and brings up the “And All Through the House” episode from Tale from the Crypt as an example of a really good version of the general plot.
