I post about movies, stuff I do like art and making mounts to hold fragile old things, random life stuff I think is clever, and sometimes Dad advice. I promise, no Dad jokes

"Succubus" (2024)
If sexy time makes you uncomfortable, maybe best to sit this one out. A classic tale about a man who gets ensnared by a succubus, but with a modern twist. Low budget, but well done despite this.

What? No Esperanto? See: "Incubus" (1966)

"Abraham's Boys: A Dracula Story" (2025)
This is a very slow moving horror thriller that follows up on the madness of the original Dracula story, many years later. Set in the hills of old west California, with only a few technical questions to avoid such as how did they get electricity?

"Companion" (2025)
When you mix AI with the human need for attention, it never turns out well. Some nods to heavyweight pioneers in the genre such as "Stepford Wives" ('04) and "A.I." ('01). The next logical progression in our relationship evolution

*trigger warning*
Relationship violence, SA, Gore

Another 24 hour build. Like this better than the last diadem

"No Country for Old Men" (2007)
This was more a rewatch as I think I saw it back in the day when the Coen Bro. were hot sh*t. I really only cared about this guy and his creative uses of compressed air, TBH. But a fun thing to watch while working on chores/ projects

"The Serpent and the Rainbow" ('88)
The nightmare scene with the corpse bride in the cemetery. That and the glass eating scene

Just got done uploading photos from an old abandoned rubber plant on Patreon. Some of them were used in the 'making of' content on the DVD for the movie "The Shadow Walkers". Of course they got my name wrong, and my copy of the DVD I scored on clearance at Blockbuster got loaned out & never returned

"Sew Torn" (2024)
A seamstress trapped by memories, unravels in this very "Groundhog Day" style crime tale. Come for the Rube Goldberg thread contraptions, stay for the cathartic dancing to a song about sewing machines. Exemplifies why I never dealt with brides to be

And complete

King of the Damned Diadem

I don't really take myself that seriously, but I do like to be dramatic for effect sometimes

May make another, different one, as I have supplies to do so

"The Crimson Cult" (1968)
There really isn't much to say about this other than: Christopher Lee! Barbara Steele! Boris Karloff! And trippy 60's FX

"Where the Scary Things Are" (2022)
These aren't the kids from "IT" or "Stand By Me". This film is about the sociopaths we call teenagers. The kids are terrible, the adults are worse through a teen lens. A thoroughly disturbing, modern horror movie that will have you questioning who the monster is

JFC. I just spent 30 min. tearing apart the workroom looking for these. They were in the box marked "pop rivets" because that makes total sense, right? 🙄

WIP. I also do leatherwork. See the belt case I'm building for the very thoughtful gift of a multitool. Molded veg tan leather, pyrography. Still up: painting, antiquing, and basket weave lace sides

Of course, since I have a week before I am to 'put to bed' my little garden plot, my jalapenos are finally flowering

Scored at the store on sale. Figured it might make good Musubi.
