In that it was poorly shot, and you can't see anything, even in daylight?

Yes, it does count as a horror show.

The question didn't specify that the sequel had to be a horror movie....

You know, like HOUSE 2: THE SECOND STORY.

Please, PLEASE, do as much as you possibly can to help those in your community, and beyond if possible.

Feeding America & Food Finder are great places to start, and @emilylhauser.bsky.social's thread below lists places offering free meals to SNAP recipients: patronizing them helps them help others.

$4200 a year is just over $80 a week.

The average weekly grocery bill in the U.S. (a year ago, before prices went up) was $270.

Title screen for "Tales from the Dark side: The Movie."

"Lover's Vow" is my favorite.

Ok, let's do this.

Really loaded cast. And the Stephen King story isn't even my favorite...

On the left of this image is the cover of Scales and Sensibility, showing a young woman in Regency dress standing before a country house with a small blue and green dragon riding on her shoulder. Above and beside that image is this text:
There was only so much that a poor relation was allowed to say in this household, especially when it came to her cousin Penelope…and if she let Penelope see the look on her face right now, she would be in real trouble. So instead, Elinor looked down at the dragon who was shivering in her arms.

From the tip of his snout to the end of his tail, Sir Jessamyn Carnavoran Artos was only two feet long, and when he curled up like this against her, he formed a big ball of warmth that felt nearly the same as her old tomcat back home. But his worried golden eyes blinked up at her from a face that glittered such a deep blue and green, his scales looked like precious jewels.

It's me, in my van right after getting a haircut (# 2 on the sides, blended with the top.). My guy always goes a little shorter on top than I like, but it's just hair.  It'll grow back.

Don't dismiss "Battle Beyond the Stars." "Seven Samurai in Space" is a fun idea executed well.

Good article about a very entertaining movie, but it doesn't mention one of the very best aspects of the film: Craig Safan's score.

I snagged the audiobook 10 minutes in and spent the rest of the show, while enjoying the conversation, wishing it would end so I could start listening to the book.

I love "Shut Up and Eat it." As a restaurant title.

Ornately carved pumpkin. This photo focuses on the eyes. It has irises full of patterns and pupils carved out. The waterline of the eye is zigzags with eyelids around it. The upper lip is like a chain link in the centre.

Imagine if all the people (who are able) who clicked follow because they think I have something worthwhile to say, preordered the book of my words (and some fantastic award winning writers)
