Hex by Thomas Olde Heuvelt Welcome to Black Spring, the seemingly picturesque Hudson Valley town haunted by the Black Rock Witch, a 17th century woman whose eyes and mouth are sewn shut. Muzzled, she walks the streets and enters homes at will. #9. Song of Kali by Dan Simmons Robert Luczak has been hired to…

My Horror Marathon Top 10 Movies!
A few months ago, I asked for some horror movie recommendations. I received a little over 250. Over the course of the past little while, I have watched 100 of your suggestions (and do eventually plan to get around to watching a few more). I'd say about 25 were good movies. The rest ranged from…

Five more to keep you up at night... Every so often, chickens will exact their revenge on the hypocritical monks who ate them, causing them to cough up chicken heads or transforming them into human-chicken hybrids known as Niwatori no so.

October 25, 2022: Health Check 2022!
I never sleep well if I have to wake up early the next morning. I'm up at all hours of the night with a strange mix of anxiety and a relentless need to check the time to make sure I haven't overslept. And so, I was out of bed at 6:00 a.m. this morning, thoroughly…
October 24, 2022: The Horror Marathon continues with movies, weird Pop-Tarts, and my annual physical!
Racing to get 100 horror movies under my belt before Halloween! Let Us Prey (2014) Held in a remote police station, a mysterious stranger takes over the minds and souls of everyone inside. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBDXIG5Pde4 Thoughts: Flashes of a pretty good movie here but, ultimately, contrived and silly. 3/5 Swallow (2019) Hunter, a newly pregnant housewife,…

Who wants to join me in Osaka for the January 2023 premiere? Today's farmer's market haul: fish and monkey face peppers, and smoked chicken fat... Finished the first draft of that android murder mystery. Switching gears to generate a few episode springboards for that sci-fi action-comedy. Watched…
October 21, 2022: Your Handy Guide to Weird Yokay – and Dr. Pepper Bourbon!
Every so often, the Shitanaga Uba will venture out for a nice dinner with the demonic Shunobon. But instead of going to Olive Garden, they'll feast on humans - he, scaring them senseless; she, licking the flesh and blood off their bones with her impossibly long tongue. Art by @matthewmeyerart If you're hosting and notice…
October 20, 2022: The Horror Marathon continues with 3 more horrors (or 4, depending on whether or not you like peanut butter on your burger)!
The Last Shift (2014) A rookie cop's 1st shift alone in the last night of a closing police station turns into a living nightmare. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3p0KIrh8hyM My thoughts: A great premise and some solid (if not altogether original) scares, but this one suffers from some shaky performances, a weak script, and dubious horror movie logic. 3.5/5…

The Hitotsume-kozō look like bald one-eyed boys dressed as monks. Every December, they will put together a list of naughty households that they'll deliver, not to Santa, but to the god of disease and misfortune who will curse the offending homes.

October 17, 2022: The Birthday Debrief!
Saturday's Wings & Beer night was a rousing success. We sampled 9 different wings and 17 different beers (before tapping out). The homemade wings were far and away better than the take-out wings. Emily, Kayla, and Akemi's were my faves, as were my own lemon-thyme contribution. As for the beer - while I was pleasantly…
