Only chicken and fish came in fingers where I grew up (Ottawa valley)

The new Resident Evil movie has no characters from the games and the nature of the monstrosity is completely different but it does nail the problem-solving "oh god what now?" feeling of the games. Basically a horror version of After Hours.

In Chess, a pawn can get to the end of the board and become a queen and if that's not queer themes I don't know what is.

Happy birthday to Tommy Wiseau! I hope someone invites all your friends!

It's definitely in the U.S., upon further inspection. Somebody talks about the law "in this state". But the American character is significantly othered that I'm reading everyone else as English unless otherwise stated.

It was, in fact, a flying purple people-eater.

Oh wow, all of this text is new to me!

Mr. MORBIDson🍁 @mutantmuseum.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Yeah the movie is a very loose adaptation but it does seem to be mostly derived from the original text, albeit restructured as a whodunnit.

Mr. MORBIDson🍁 @mutantmuseum.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

"Fifty plus pages"? That does sound expanded. It's only 23 pages in Thrilling Wonder Stories. Although I guess Haining might be using a larger typeset.

Mr. MORBIDson🍁 @mutantmuseum.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Yes, it sounds like we both read the same version, if you don't remember there being anything about witches. Thanks for your help on this!

200

Mr. MORBIDson🍁 @mutantmuseum.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

That would be my guess as well. Do you remember if you read it in an anthology?

100

Mr. MORBIDson🍁 @mutantmuseum.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Yes, that occurred to me as a definite possibility. In the version you read, do you remember a reveal that the character Doris was a witch? She isn't, in the pulp version.

100

Mr. MORBIDson🍁 @mutantmuseum.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Do you know if there are multiple versions of it? When I look it up online, I see references to characters and plot points that do not come up in the version I've read, as it was published in Thrilling Wonder Stories in 1950.

Mr. MORBIDson🍁 @mutantmuseum.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

@hypnogoria.bsky.social Hi Jim, are you at all familiar with James Blish's horror novella THERE SHALL BE NO DARKNESS? I'm preparing on a piece on it for my own channel and I've run into a bit of a mystery, and I thought you might be the person to ask.

I am running from the paperback novel house.

So he's being accused of something but they won't tell him what he's supposed to have done? I think I've seen this movie.

The truck driver craze is one of the strangest and most fascinating things to me about the '70s

I'm not saying don't watch it. It's not awful. But don't expect too much from it.

Mr. MORBIDson🍁 @mutantmuseum.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

I am not kidding when I say that Bela Lugosi got more to do in PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE than in THE BLACK SLEEP.

Mr. MORBIDson🍁 @mutantmuseum.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

I do have to warn you that Basil Rathbone is the only one of them who gets much to do. Carradine has a few brief scenes in which he is memorably crazy but everyone else is basically an extra.

100

Mr. MORBIDson🍁 @mutantmuseum.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

No, he's probably the quietest and sanest man in the film. But John Carradine spends all his scenes psychotically screaming about the Crusades so that's fun.

000

Mr. MORBIDson🍁 @mutantmuseum.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

No, he's actually the hero and he has to exposes Basil Rathbone's evil experimental brain surgery practice. Though he does briefly go into a drug-induced supercoma to fake his death after being wrongly convicted of killing Tor Johnson.

Mr. MORBIDson🍁 @mutantmuseum.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

The best thing to come out of this movie is probably this photo, which I guess was taken during rehearsals or something

Lon Chaney Jr., John Carradine, and Bela Lugosi, holding forks and knives and all pretending to eat the head of a terrified-looking Tor Johnson, whose body is covered with a tablecloth. Carradine is doing an almost hammer-and-chisel gesture, like he's trying to crack Tor's skull open.

Mr. MORBIDson🍁 @mutantmuseum.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

The movie is THE BLACK SLEEP, if anyone's curious. It's not very good.

120

Mr. MORBIDson🍁 @mutantmuseum.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Honestly this movie has an incredible cast. Rathbone, Lugosi, Carradine, Lon Chaney Jr., and to top it all off, Tor Johnson!

Why is Britain still letting American bombers use British airfields at all? Kick them out. Save yourselves a lot of hassle.

Just in time for the Halloween season, my reading of The Tale of Prince Bill the Blighted is now complete! Give it a watch! It's a fun little fantasy comedy written by a child.

Tor Johnson with hair isn't real, he can't hurt you, etc.

It's funny to me how much zoomer/Alpha slang is derived from things you do with food. You can glaze something, you can eat and leave no crumb, something can be cooked or chopped or washed or baste...

Mr. MORBIDson🍁 @mutantmuseum.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

I'll admit I was a little worried he'd turn out to be just another politician once he took office. Very glad that this doesn't seem to be the case.

Mr. MORBIDson🍁 @mutantmuseum.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Should I assume the story is set west of the Atlantic, then? Aside from a few characters explicitly referenced as continental Europeans (a Pole and a Scandinavian), everyone has Anglo-Saxon names. Are they British people in the USA? Is it Canada? What accents should I give them?
