Wow, here we are in the last days of this year's #Hauntalong. Time sure flies when you’re being spooky! Thanks all for reading along. I hope you found some groovy horror films to make your Spooky Season better! I’m closing up my contribution with Stuart Gordon’s 1985 classic Re-Animator! (1/9)

Attention boils and ghouls (is there a gender-neutral play on words?), it's my last #hauntalong entry this year and I'm capping it off with one of my favorite Halloweentime movies...

It is a fact long held that in a western the bad guys wear black hats. In Robert Rodriguez’s 1996 vampire flick, From Dusk till Dawn, the Gecko brothers trade black hats for black suits but Rodriguez wastes no time in proving that they are BAD. (1/10)

Hi friends! For my first ever #hauntalong, I want to shine a (flickering) light on Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (FWWM). Released in 1992, a year after the titular TV show's cancellation, David Lynch took a beloved setting known for its charming characters and said: "it's worse than that."

Do you like fun simple games that are deceptively deep art, luring you to the brink of losing yourself in the listless void before summoning you home with the sticky smells of dried Coke and fry oil?

We recently played Last Train to Bremen by @seaexcursion.itch.io. It was a ton of fun! Check out our story about a band that made a deal with the devil then tried to escape to Stability when the contract came due!
In the 80's the band Animal Sacrifice was last seen getting on the ferry to Stability. Only one made it. They say that Stability is so weird not even the devil wants to visit. Maybe that's true? Check out the story!
