The full map to the original Castlevania. This is a brilliant map. Despite seeing a map in between stages, you don't really think about how it all connects, but the flow lines up almost perfectly making one cohesive castle.

The Showa-era Gamera movies have a (sometimes deserved) reputation for being goofy, but let's face it, there has maybe never been a climax to a monster movie that went as hard as, "We can't actually kill this monster, so we're going to trap him in a rocket and shoot him into fucking space forever."

Currently reading a Sweet Valley High novel from 1994 about a werewolf, and it just paused for a four-page digression to describe the plot and main beats of the movie The Howling.

For some reason I'm seeing my art of THE SPIDER doing the rounds — The Spider is of course my favorite pulp hero, being as he is a cackling psycho who dresses like a scary witch to kill gangsters with his girlfriend

I love how many promotional things from F/X (1986) are aware that the star of the movie is this animatronic monster that shows up for like one scene.

34 years ago today, I was released into the world. Two days before that, David Schmoeller’s Netherworld was released to #VHS by Full Moon Entertainment. These are both things to be celebrated. So this weekend, I wish a happy birthday to myself… but, more importantly, a happy birthday to Netherworld.
