I know. It gave me a lot of ideas for my NIGHT SHIFT games though.

Urban Fantasy Fridays: Beyond the Supernatural (1988) Beyond the Supernatural was always one of those games I kind of liked from afar. I never had a chance to play it until September. It was fun, and it gave me ideas for my sequel to Jackson, IL. #ttrpg theotherside.timsbrannan.com/2026/10/urba...

October Movie Challenge: The Power (1984) Ok. I want to start out by saying this is not the movie I thought it was. I wanted a movie that was about psychic powers. This is about a cursed Aztec idol home to a demon. So. A win? Yeah, it was still fun. theotherside.timsbrannan.com/2026/10/octo...

Tales of Jackson: Land of Confusion You know how it is. You want to run NIGHT SHIFT. Your players want to play Dungeons & Dragons. Well, my last Jackson, IL adventure shows you can do both!

October Movie Challenge: Sotto il Vestito Niente (1985) Is it really an October Horror Movie Challenge without some sleazy Italian Giallo film? No, not really. It is one of the few Giallo movies from that time that I have not already seen. theotherside.timsbrannan.com/2026/10/octo...

I’m so sad for my country. I’m mad as hell, and I’m scared and I’m deeply fucking worried about what Trump has done and is doing to this imperfect place I love, believe in, and call home. But more than anything else, I’m so deeply, deeply sad.

October Movie Challenge: Biohazard (1985) While this movie really has nothing at all to do with my theme of "local horror" it is on the spot for the time period, 1985, and a great (if that word can be used here) example of 80s sci-fi, horror schlock. theotherside.timsbrannan.com/2026/10/octo...

This game also helped me realize how fun the character Vera Rook is. Part of me wants to make a spin-off game with an adult Vera as an occult detective solving crimes in St. Louis. That's how much fun I had. But I have other plans, really, for Vera.

**Tales of Jackson: We Are Not Alone** My recent trip to Jacksonville has me thinking about the people who will be in Jackson in 2026 and who were there in 1955. The cycle repeats, but are the characters doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past? #ttrpg theotherside.timsbrannan.com/2026/10/tale...

Witchcraft Wednesday: Coven 13, Issue #1 A lot of my posts have a very interesting point of intersection: 1970s occult horror of witchcraft, fantasy, and satanism. And 1970s occult horror is detailed rather nicely by the magazine Coven 13. theotherside.timsbrannan.com/2026/10/witc...

October Movie Challenge: Slaughter High (1986) Let's get into my theme properly now. Search for "high school," "horror," and "1986," and this usually comes up first. The fact that it also stars Caroline Munro is only the icing on a very bloody cake. theotherside.timsbrannan.com/2026/08/octo...

This is a picture at my old hometown pizza place, Leo's Pizza. This is the owner's daughter and I love everything about this. I think this has to be from the 1980s. This is hanging up near the cash register. I love this place.
