Daily bunny no.3453 is looking back

Bunnies sit at a table outside a cafe, called the Luna Cafe. It is on the surface of the moon, looking at a distant planet earth. They sip from mugs while a third bunny watches from a second floor balcony.

We've got a rising star in Amanda M. Blake and her IN THE DOLLHOUSE WE ALL WAIT novel. The paperback's been moving between 13th and 6th place in the Best American Horror category on Amazon. And not new releases, but overall. That means three Crystal Lake titles in the top 10.

Still a bit under the influence of this virus, but I wanted to actually *finish* something and I've been wanting to try and capture an impression of the Stay Belows of #hookland for ages so, here we are.

Disturbing under water entities with faces borrowed from fish skeletons. Pencil and mixed media. Colour applied. They are the stay belows of Hookland, or my take on them at any rate.

Another entry in my Slasher and Satan Halloween viewing: The Town That Dreaded Sundown. Buffoon cop antics and genuinely harrowing murders. Glad to have finally seen it. May not watch it again. #art #horror #filmsky #halloween #slashers #horrorcommunity

Box art for “The Town That Dreaded Sundown.” A banner at the top informs us that this is from the “Slasher Classics Collection.” It appears to be rated “15,” so I guess this was a UK release. The art is a painted image of the Phantom Killer with that white sack over his head, looming over a small Texas town as the orange sun sets.

The Crystal Lake trailer was trashier than I was expecting, and this made me happy. Friday the 13th is—first and foremost—trash (not a criticism). So, it’s nice to see the series will retain some of that goofy, bloody, horny nonsense. #art #crystallake #fridaythe13th #filmsky #horrorcommunity
