Fake Documentary Q

Haunted School is incredible, one of my favourite things ever. A bunch of kids get trapped in, you guessed it, a haunted school and subsequently we get gross monster puppets, living anatomy dummies running around, giant bug mutations, a cameo by the slit-mouthed woman, and so much more!

YouTube video by wolfie🐶 Psychic Vision: Jaganrei, 1988, dir. Teruyoshi Ishii [English Subtitles]

Just discovered there's an english subtitled version of PSYCHIC VISION JAGANREI on youtube. Early faux-doc horror about a haunted j-pop idol and her hit single! it's very good and weird! For fans of Noroi!

In a desolate plain, fallen and kneeling men impaled in the back with knives, seem to worship in adulation a giant floating kitchen knife.

Apotheosis of the Knife

Orchard of the Owlfather by Unenthuser An incursion of thrilling theft for Trophy Gold

Would you look at that. Orchard of the Owlfather took the 8th place slot in rankings for the Appx. N Jam out of the 227 entries. There were some very cool entries for the jam, so this was a pleasant surprise.

just remembered smile 2 is good as hell.

if smile 3 isn't full-blown apocalyptic i'll be sad.

Side view of spines of books on a bookshelf. In the center of about eight books, two copies of An Infinity of Ships by STATIONS, and I Don't Belong Here by STATIONS

for the partnership on An Infinity of Ships, & to @stregawolf.art
for I Don't Belong Here, and to @jamiegp.bsky.social for STATIONS generally. Among many other collaborators!

A plain page with dense and clean text along side a simple hex map with vibrant green and blue colors

A page with bold yellow orange and black coloring where heavy blackletter contrasts against simple text

A cover depicting a hippo in a spiked pith helm in front of a massive explosion with curvy psychedelic text reading "Bombast!" The collage has been rendered in black and white with a splash of color behind it

black letter text reading "HAHA! I'm using logistics!" in front of a edited piece of public domain art of a knight on a horse to turn it into a dithered/engraved look

A mockup of a trifold pamphlet with a bold yellow black and red cover with an industrial look about it.

A spread displaying a piece timeline of events as well as descriptions of locations formatted to look like posts on a social media site.

A incredibly dingy looking map and key, it looks as if it was scapbooked together with typewriter texts and torn paper

A bombastic page showing bright red distorted hexagons and text describing locations

Hey btw you can hire me to do layout on magazines and rpgs. Here is just a small collection of my works. More examples in the thread to come.

Why The Fuck Am I Reading RPG PDFs On My Computer? Work on DANGER CLOSE is progressing, but as it progresses, I’m thinking about the pending task of layout. This had me thinking about something else. I LOVE print and PDFs – but I person…

Why am I reading portrait PDFs on my landscape monitor? RPGs could embrace digital-native design with tooltips, integrated dice rollers, and responsive layouts instead of treating screens like worse paper.

Queenright by Unenthuser An Apian Myth for Mythic Bastionland

I've got bees on the mind today, so I tossed together an apian myth for Mythic Bastionland.

unenthuser.itch.io/queenright

180. Tremors (dir. Underwood, 1990).

The perfect all-American summer creature feature, the perfect blend of viscera and comedy, elevated by the natural chemistry of an incredible cast of character actors.

It's the kind movie you watch with a cool beer and a bowl of pretzels.

I think it says something that the first VHS’ I ever bought were this and The Thing (before I ever had a vhs player).

It also says a lot about my horror writing as a whole.

83. Phenomena (dir. Argento, 1985).

Just think: without Dario Argento and Jennifer Connelly, we wouldn't have Clock Tower, and without Clock Tower the survival horror genre would have undergone a whole other evolutionary path entirely.

We owe Resident Evil and Silent Hill to those two.

55. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (dir. Tobe Hooper, 1974).

Mercury is in retrograde, gang.

40. "My Home Walk-Through" (dir. PiroPito, 2016).

Remember P.T.?

Imagine someone remade it, in live-action, as a 10min short film using nothing but practical effects, as a commentary on the widening gap in material wealth between generations since WWII. Seriously. It works.

13. Occult (dir. Koji Shiraishi, 2009).

Everyone's familiar with Noroi: The Curse. A fantastic film, to be sure, but Shiraishi didn't make just one great found footage horror flick, he made *several.* I'd go as far as to say Occult might even be on par.

Lo-fi cosmic horror, baby.

7. The Black Tower (dir. John Smith, 1987).

Picture a 20min slideshow where a narrator is driven into insanity by the spectre of an obsidian obelisk looming tall over everywhere he sees.

I swear, it's better than it sounds.

4. Lifeforce (dir. Tobe Hooper, 1985).

Is this a good movie? Absolutely not.

Is this a fun, batshit, one of its kind movie? 1000% yes. It's like an episode of Doctor Who fed enough viagra to kill a herd of elephants and locked in a room with nothing to read but Freud and Stoker.

3. The Invisible Man (James Whale, 1933).

I've already gone on over how much I love the "EVEN THE MOON IS FRIGHTENED OF ME" speech-

But the special effects are still fantastic nearly a century later, and Claude Rains-

Ah, what a performer!
