Keeping the creepy crawly theme from yesterday going, here’s a video of a wasp and hornet expert removing a yellow-jacket nest from a wall in a woman’s basement.
Meow Wolf is a weirdo art collective underwritten by George R. R. Martin. The have an interactive art show called Omega Mart going on now in Las Vegas. Part of it is these not-quite-right supermarket commercials:
I’ve been watching a fair number of YouTube videos of survival horror video game play-throughs over the last few months. One reason is that there aren’t a lot of those games available for the Mac, and another is that most seem less like games than an exercise in wandering around until you trigger jump scares, and where your actions have almost no effect on the game’s outcome.
But here’s a video of a van-life guy who decided to play a horror game alone, at night, in a creepy abandoned tunnel, which really takes things to the next level.
The game he’s playing is Pacify, which involves burning evil dolls to lay the ghost of a possessed girl. (Note: If your business plan involves making your daughter a vessel for demonic possession, I’d advise going into another line of work.) I checked to see if this game was available through Amazon, but I bet it’s one of those direct steam sort of things. But would you believe there’s a coloring book for it?
Here’s this year’s edition of the Halloween trade show.
Random notes:
Killer clowns remain big.
Black light seems to be making a comeback.
I feel for the model that has to ride the bucking possessed bed during the show. That has to be an exhausting gig.
The spongy glowing green floor covered in mist looks pretty cool. With some of the jungle temple walls on display, you have a pretty good start on a Cthulhu Mythos-themed Halloween house.
One of the “giant monster heads jumping out of the hole” looks pretty good…until you realize that it’s not a motorized actuator, but just a guy manually pushing it in and out.
