Halloween Horrors: Wasparama

Sunday, October 16th, 2022

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.

A really, really, really big nest.

If that doesn’t freak you out enough, this guy has dozens more nest removal videos on his channel…

Halloween Horrors: National Museum of Funeral History in Houston

Wednesday, October 12th, 2022

What can go wrong when exploring the deepest cave on earth?

    Halloween Horrors: Guy Plays Horror Video Game At Night, Alone, In Creepy Abandoned Tunnel

    Monday, October 25th, 2021

    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?

    Halloween Horrors: Transworld 2021 Show

    Friday, October 22nd, 2021

    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.
  • Halloween Horrors: Mega Marvin

    Saturday, October 16th, 2021

    Remember The Apprehension Engine used for creating horror movie soundtracks featured last year?

    Meet the Mega Marvin:

    It does look less ergonomically friendly for playing for long periods of time…
