CREEPY STUFF

Spooky creatures and hideous monsters are my favorite part of the Halloween season. I imagine that creepy forest witches could find a way to communicate with squishy and grotesque cryptids, and after some time, they'd probably start to agree on things and hang out. Devouring unsuspecting rural peoples, stealing babies, or even just game night...

DEMON PIPS

Maribelle's demon pips were getting ready for the Halloween season just in time.

GRUESOME GIRL

Her husbandry work with hideous and gruesome monsters was prominently displayed on her resume.

SKULLS

If zombies lived long enough I feel like some of them would want to tell you about how great it is being one. No job or bills to worry about, pretty much everyday is Saturday, lot of fleshy people hanging around.

BACK TO SCHOOL

Every single person that has friends with kids social feed this week and last…

CENTRAL CASTING

Kendra is going to see the new The Crow movie tonight with her girl squad. So, she made me watch the original with her last night in preparation. Few things I didn't remember: 1. Ernie Hudson was one of the main characters? Winston! 2. All the shooting going on upstairs and Thrill Kill Cult just kept on playing until a literal corpse drops onto their stage... Nice. 3. Although not a great movie, the set design and lighting was pretty solid. Nice late 20th century dystopia.

And speaking of Kendra movies, the 2nd Betelgeuse movie is coming up too. What a time to relive your childhood moodiness. Here is pre-teen Kendra waiting for the bus to central casting.

ELDEN CATS

I don't play "new" video games myself. I instead prefer arcade-era games, but I do enjoy the artistry of them from afar. I think a battle cat game with cat-dragons and cat-snakes and armored catsmen would be fun...

GAME OF DRAGONS

Watched the season closer of the Game of Dragons or whatever last night. I feel like I'd want to just live in that world without having to do any big consequential journeys or joining any massive armies. I'd lay low, do some art, have a few chicken wings, and maybe a little sword fighting here and there, but nothing too attention grabbing. That's where you get yourself in trouble.

NIGHT CATS

[Eerie strings fade in over distant muffled jazz and passing cars] - The sky was heavy with tumult... Haze clung to the asphalt in a blurry soup of danger and intrigue. Heidi and Sagan, prowling the alleyways in search of morsels, stopped every score yards to sniff objects of interest... They'd been this way, not more than an hour ago. That much was clear in this fog. This night, tonight... Their blood-thirst would be satisfied.

WHALE V BOAT II

Anyone else rooting for the whale in that video?

The lighthouse version of todays drawings at least makes it a little less ominous for the boaters as they can at least swim for the rocky shore and wait for rescue. I guess for you biblical folk, neither of these images should be frightening as attested to by your boy Jonah, who set up shop inside a fish for 3 days and came out no worse for wear. HA

ICHTHYOSTEGA

Couldn't have just left well enough alone, now we have to pay separate insurance for our bodies and our teeth even though our teeth are IN our bodies...

I imagine the warm coastal deltas and lagoons were a scary place to navigate for our little friend, what with the mighty Dunkleosteus chopping things in half with his boney jaws, but now we're on all fire and we need to blame someone.

CRABBING

The Convergent Evolution was really kicking off on Stone Creek Beach. Just wait for the snake crabs...

SNESSY

This is the Lock Ness Monsters cousin Snessy, she enjoys long swims near the beach, Yankee candles, warm fish by the fire, and girls' night at the Slots-o-Fun in Berwin IL.
