Something's wrong with Rudy

"My cat walked by the pinball machine and Rudy said ‘kitty!’ Kitty is not part of his programmed language. It’s not a word that he says."

John Tard and Mysterion the Mind Reader inspect a haunted Funhouse pinball machine

“Not many people can say they have a haunted pinball machine.”

In FUNLAND's first ever paranormal investigation, we wanted to find out: What's wrong with Rudy...

The horror film of the year just dropped online...

PENGUIN COLONY

“It isn’t about reinterpreting Lovecraft as something that it isn’t, but reexamining Lovecraft for what it really is. Let’s take stock of what these things are. If you want to say we’re doing ‘Indigenous Lovecraft,’ but still make the characters all explorers and anthropologists and put them in tombs just to raid them, it’s not an appropriate approach.” - Naphtali Faulkner

“We’re not sickos here. I’m not going to be showing violence against the penguins.”

Umurangi Generation's @veselekov.bsky.social tells about his eldritch penguin horror and how to re-imagine Lovecraft without revising his sins.
