I don't do a ton of rewatching in general but I saw From Beyond way too young and it still freaks me out to even watch clips of it. I guess some movies are just too bleak like the end of the original Speak No Evil. I think I know what I like and avoid stuff I know I wouldn't (eli roth, saw etc)

This post is unavailable.

Let's see we've already got analogs of most of the main monsters. What if we went with something absolutely insane like the psychosexual samurai armor from Blood Beat or Night Beast!

Incredible and challenging question, Austin! I think I'm gonna need a thread to answer this one. #1 with a wooden stake to the heart is DRACULA. Bram Stoker's creation continues to inspire generations of adaptations in all media and is the source of all related Vampire-mania.

Ahhh!-stin Gorey-ton@austingorton.bsky.social

How do you rank these monsters: Dracula, Frankenstein, Mummy, Invisible Man, Wolf Man, Creature from the Black Lagoon?

#4 Creature from the Black Lagoon - The Creature is just a misunderstood critter who wants some company, and from what I understand, the ladies love this guy #5 The Mummy - Another one that just really needs to be left alone! Stop trying to put him in a museum. Let this guy sleep!

#6 Wolf Man - Wolf Man sucks. Wolf Man always knows he's going to turn into a Wolf Man and then does nothing but mope around until he transforms and hurts somebody. What an utterly useless woebegone dud. (this does not apply to all werewolves!)

#2 I'm going with FRANKENSTEIN - Shelley's horrific twist on Pygmalion continues to inspire man makes ______ stories to this day. Plus the book is friggin' awesome.

#3 Invisible Man - If you have not seen the 1933 James Whale flick where the buck naked transparent madman murders anyone in his way including an entire train (!!!) do so immediately.

1. Not much anime for me these days. I think Evangelion kind of ruined it for me? 2. Fave candy has to be Reese’s cups! Chocolate Peanut butter is by far the best sweet flavor combo! 🎃

Hi! 1) I think you mentioned you watched anime in your youth, do you still do it? 2) favorite Halloween candy?

Super proud of this episode, and not just because I’m the dad of one of the guests.

The Three Amigos (Dan, Matt and Rob) get together for their annual horror discussion with special guests Zac Thompson and Logan Grote.

Happy (early) Halloween! Zack is back and we're talking about VAMPIRES on an All-New #BattleoftheAtom including Storm & Dracula, the Ba'alists, and that one time Chamber got a face. Hope you'll join us for a spooky good time!

I know his piece is about Pokemon cards, but this paragraph basically sums up my core issues with the speculator market for comics (slabs), cards, toys, you name it.

I sold $16K in Pokémon cards and it fucking sucked aftermath.site/pokemon-card-s...

The Halloween special is always one of my favorite episodes of the year, but having my son on this episode to talk horror with us was extra special. Hope you’ll give it a listen.

I re-read all of Green Lantern/Green Arrow so you don't have to! This is going to be a fun series of threads about this wild ride of a comic. #Lanterns #GreenLantern #ComicsStudies

Sequential Scholars@sequentialscholars.bsky.social

Introducing our next unit! Drumroll please... It's #GreenLanternAndGreenArrow !

My Staff Pick is the Hello Halloween special, specifically because there is a Jeffrey Brown short in it, but the whole issue is spooky seasonal fun.

ComicsXF@comicsxf.com

This week's Staff Picks include Absolute Green Arrow #6, Avengers: Armageddon #5 and Star Trek: The Last Starship #12. What are YOU looking forward to reading?

Great question - it’s not easy to be selected for these big showcases, and if you are can you even afford it?

Comicsbeat@comicsbeat.bsky.social

Is Artist Alley even sustainable any more? It's more expensive than ever to set up in artist alley or at a comics show - and here are some of the numbers

Article points to an interesting trickle down: Bigger names choosing smaller shows eliminating space for smaller up and comers. Also: Artists focusing energy on creating merch (sells best) instead of what they want to make (comics!)

ICYMI yesterday, join me as I talk to a whole bunch of amazing people at this year New York Comic Con!
