I like that Peter Cushing seems to be wearing roughly the same outfit he wore as Dr. Who.

There's a lot to like about the 7 Golden Vampires, but my favorite thing is how their vampire minions cutely hop-step into battle.

The third Peanuts special, the Emmy-nominated "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown," was first broadcast 60 years ago, on October 27, 1966. (The special lost the Emmy Award to Hanna-Barbera’s largely forgotten adaptation of “Jack and the Beanstalk”…huh??)

Happy Simon Le Bon Day!

First four days of #tolktober this year. I think this is my best year of work so far! #lotr #tolkien

More classical recommendations from my reading playlist

Open carefully. Something supernatural waits inside. 👻 Faceless women, headless demons and spectral brides haunt the 20 tales in Lafcadio Hearn’s Japanese Ghost Stories, illustrated by Yuko Shimizu. Would you dare to read it after dark? https://www.foliosociety.com/japanese-ghost-stories

Time for my annual reread of my favorite Halloween books for kids. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Btw, this was a super fun episode! It also proved how little of a game person I am — and that’s okay! I was proud of my SAW game, and I was wayyyy impressed by everyone else’s far superior thought process! Thanks for having me on @afterlunch.bsky.social — happy Halloweek! 💕🎃

Next on the reading pile.

Every Gothic starter pack needs a monster, a haunted house and a terrible secret. 🕯️🖤 From Frankenstein and Carrie to Rebecca and Wuthering Heights, these Folio books promise a descent into darkness. Which are you pulling from the shadows first?https://www.foliosociety.com/

More goth playlist scouting. Neither of these albums are fully the vibe I'm looking for, but I did add "Stripped" from Black Celebration.

How about a 2-part crossover? Marvel was fond of these in the Bronze Age. • Gil Kane, Tom Palmer, and John Romita covered Tomb of Dracula 18 (1973). • Mike Ploog covered Werewolf by Night 15 (1973).

Got myself locked out of Bluesky somehow! But I’m back and with a ton of Tolkien art to share! Here is a miniature I painted this week as part of #tolktober The Grey Pilgrim

Got: Hunchback of Notre Dame Wish I Got: Literally anyone else. Glad I Didn't Get: I don't know, Jehan, I guess? Not that he was an option.

FWIW if I ever become President the White House will look like Disney World's Haunted Mansion.

You could certainly make a vampire movie about Elizabeth Báthory. Sadly, Hammer decided not to.

Rewatched this for the most recent @afterlunch.bsky.social episode.

Not every '70s vampire movie is a winner.

It's Game Night on After Lunch!

Perfect timing to listen to at work today! Duma Key is one of the books that came out after I stopped reading King... let's see if Michael and Jess can make me want to try it...

Duma Key's about a Minnesota man who moves to Florida for a new life and experiences strange phenomena in his pink beach house on the Gulf coast. As a native Floridian who now lives in Minnesota, I have a lot of connection to this story and love it. Jess might have a different opinion.👻
