Wild… once upon a time, I had a copy of the Leading Edge Aliens RPG, but I had no idea they had a Lawnmower Man RPG!

The rights must have been amazingly cheap to acquire.

#UndeadOctober movie 26: Sinners (2025). Vampires attack a Black club in 1930s Mississippi. A film that is equal parts period piece, commentary, and horror film, and does all of them beautifully. Words do not do this film justice. Also, it has possibly the most satisfying ending ever. Excellent.

Anyone watching my #UndeadOctober posts may wonder why I had Ghostbusters as a horror film. If you look at the Saturday posts (4, 11, 18, and 25), those movies tended towards comedy. That's because we treat Saturday as Laughter Day and focus on comedies to help cut the tension from horror films.

#UndeadOctober movie 25: Ghostbusters (1984). Paranormal exterminators deal with NYC’s ghost problem. It’s possibly the best supernatural comedy of all time. The writing and acting are solid, and while the effects are a bit dated in parts, the ghost designs are still fantastic and hold up very well.

We’re entering the last week of October, and that means the end of #UndeadOctober is coming. @ninjamonkey.bsky.social and I have already decided on the theme for 2026 - folk horror and cults. It’ll be all dark fairy tales, old gods, witches, things in the woods, devil worshippers, and the like.

EA's AI Game Development Tools Are Apparently So Bad That It's Costing More Money To Fix Their Mistakes A new report suggests that EA's pivot to AI is just causing costly mistakes, and the developers hate it.

If only everyone could have predicted this

#UndeadOctober movie 24: Day of the Dead (1985). Scientists and soldiers clash in an underground zombie refuge. It’s a classic, and while the characters are thin and the acting is amateur, the plot is solid and the gore is fantastic. Also, no sarcasm - the character with the best arc is a zombie.

This year’s watchlist can be found under #UndeadOctober.

2024 is tagged with #HorrorAlphabet

And if you search for “Kingtober”, you’ll find 2023’s films.

My partner @ninjamonkey.bsky.social and I just watched this as part of our October horror movie suite, so this is wonderful timing. :)

#UndeadOctober movie 23: A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014). A skateboarding vampire stalks the streets of Bad City. Don't let the black-and-white footage, deliberate pace, sparse dialogue, and subtitles put you off from this movie. It's a solid vampire film with romance and tragedy thrown in.

#UndeadOctober movie 22: The Innkeepers (2011). Hotel workers experience a haunted inn’s last weekend. This movie exists solely to waste time. There’s no narrative arc, the action of the last few minutes comes from nowhere, there’s wasted character bits, and worst - no tension build at all. Skip it.

I will repost this forever.

#UndeadOctober movie 21: Cockneys vs. Zombies (2012). A family of Eastenders face a zombie apocalypse. It’s like if Temu Guy Ritchie made a version of Shaun of the Dead. Is it good? Maybe not, but it’s not bad, and importantly, it’s fun. Decent gore effects, decent laughs, and the best chase ever.

I really honestly think there's something very beautiful about telling your daughter she doesn't have to defend you. To be that confident in accepting that you were wrong and that it was shitty of you, and to do better. That kind of vulnerability moves me. And it's from one of the dorks in ICP.

Short list of things that are incredibly easy to do as a man in America:
- Not ever wear black or brown face
- Not get an SS tattoo
- Not sexually assault anyone

SUPER easy

Last Saturday's No Kings marches has given me a new hope that we will prevail.

this is what we could have

#UndeadOctober movie 20: Nosferatu (2024). A remake of an off-brand Dracula. This movie is excellent. Not a shot is wasted, and every single one is framed, lit, and acted beautifully. It’s gothic, darkly sexual, and grotesque. Not just a great vampire film, but a great film in its own right.

#UndeadOctober movie 19: Kwaidan (1964). An anthology of 4 classic Japanese ghost stories. The pace is slow and deliberate, and the sets are artificial like a stage play, so it might not suit everyone, but the tales are dark and eerie, and the directing is wonderful. Just set aside 3 hours for it.

Davinci Resolve: Great interface, tons of effects, uses GPU acceleration when rendering video.

KDEnlive: Can generate a waveform of entire audio feed without paid plugins.

Winner: KDEnlive.

HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL * 4.5/5 72 min 1959 Horror (13+) A millionaire offers 0,000 to five people who agree to be locked in a large, spooky, rented house overnight with him and his wife.

I’m just spitballing here, but if he’s a millionaire, he can probably do better than zero thousand dollars.

#UndeadOctober movie 18: Warm Bodies (2013). A zombie falls in love with a survivor. A post-zombie-apocalypse take on Romeo and Juliet, it’s a surprisingly human movie, and while it’s not the most horrific film in our watch list, it has the most heart, and more than a little bit of brains too.

An image of a list of the 27 grievances against King George III in the Declaration of Independence. Donald Trump's regime has committed at least 20 of them in whole or in part, condensed into the list below: 1. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. 2. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation … 3. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing … his invasions on the rights of the people. 4. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; … obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners … 5. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice … 6. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices … 7. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. 8. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. 9. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. 10. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution … giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: 11. For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: 12. For protecting them … from punishment for any Murders which they should commit … 13. For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: 14. For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: 15. For depriving us … of the benefits of Trial by Jury: 16. For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: 17. For … abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: 18. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. 19. He has … destroyed the lives of our people. 20. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us …

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain.

Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow.

“When they rob us of art and emotion, that leads us towards the aesthetics of fascism. In this film, all the sets are real, the decor is human-sized, there are painstakingly created miniatures... It’s there to remind us that art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go fuck itself!”

#UndeadOctober movie 17: From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) A pair of crooks take their hostages to the worst strip club ever. It starts as a gritty crime story, and then does a hard shift into a grindhouse vampire cartoon. It’s joyfully over the top, but the moments of tonal whiplash can be jarring.

we are not having a lot of luck with institutional pushback - everyone who does is fired and replaced

we are definitely not having any luck with “norms”

what we are having luck with is ordinary people looking at the incompetent bullshit put in front of them and going “absolutely not”
