Merry Christmas: Stellarscope’s “Silent Night”
Thursday, December 25th, 2025Shoegazer Sunday: Night Tapes’ “Helix”
Sunday, December 14th, 2025Night Tapes are a UK-Estonian band, and “Helix” sounds a bit like Mallory to me.
Halloween Horrors: Making Fiends Halloween
Friday, October 31st, 2025Once upon a time, there was a great little web series called Making Fiends that turned into a swell TV series. Both versions told about the dynamic between Vendetta, an evil little girl that makes fiends, and Charlotte, who thinks Vendetta is her best friend despite the latter loathing her.
Here’s a video of the Halloween episode.
Alas, Nickelodeon cancelled the TV show after only one season. I’m glad I bough the DVD when it was available, as its now out of print and people are asking ridiculous amounts for it…
Halloween Horrors: The Most Cursed Videos on the Internet
Wednesday, October 29th, 2025Daily Dose of Internet does video compilations, and here are some of the most cursed. These are less straight horror than just weird, unsettling and creepy.
Come for the electric guacamole, stay for the airport flooding with green slime.
(You know, Electric Guacamole would be a good name for a rock band…)
Halloween Horrors: Joe Rogan Interviews A. J. Gentile
Tuesday, October 28th, 2025For those unfamiliar with A. J. Gentile, he’s the guy behind The Why Files, where he and sidekick Hecklefish examine various paranormal subjects, spooky stories, legends, fringe science theories, etc. A bunch of stuff that could have been covered by Art Bell or Fortean Times. I used him as fodder for previous Halloween posts here and here.
Turns out that Joe Rogan is a fan, too, and he did a nearly three hour interview with him:
Topics covered include UFOs, aliens, floods, the weirdness of the moon, military technology (that might have come from aliens), etc.
Remember: Alternate reality theories are for entertainment purposes only…
Halloween Horrors: Google Earth Mysteries
Sunday, October 26th, 2025People find all sorts of interesting things in Google Earth, some of which are more unsettling than others.
These include:
Halloween Horrors: The Five Levels of Dreams
Saturday, October 25th, 2025This video about the five levels of dreams shouldn’t be horror…except it is.
Between the loud, jarring section starts to the disturbing visuals to the eerie use of liminal spaces, the video seems designed more to induce nightmares than explain them.
Some of this jibes what what I experience when dreaming, and some of it doesn’t. Your mileage may vary.
Halloween Horrors: Sharks in the Basement
Friday, October 24th, 2025Remember those fake photos of sharks swimming in subways that showed up after “Superstorm Sandy”?
Well, this photo of sharks in a guy’s basement in Hudson Valley, New York…
…was absolutely real.
Turns out he was smuggling them in the back of his truck to sell on the black market.
So now add “basement sharks” to the list of things to irrationally be afraid of…
Halloween Horrors: Dueling Krakens
Thursday, October 23rd, 2025There are not one, but two films called Kraken out soon. The first one is from Norway and appears to be due in early 20206:
The other one is Russian, so I don’t suppose I’ll be watching it any time soon:
Discounting a few oddities (like adult Clover from The Cloverfield Paradox), this is probably the largest titular kaiju of any film.
The Brilliant Business Model of Spirit Halloween
Tuesday, October 21st, 2025The Fat Electrician unleashes a profane rant of admiration on the brilliant business model of Spirit Halloween stores:
They make $1.1 billion in revenue per year despite being open only 6-8 weeks…
