Thoroughly enjoyed Guillermo del Toro’s #Frankenstein
I tend to prefer a high level of grounded realism in movies so the stage theatricality put me off at first but very quickly drew me back in.

Made this design as a gift for my son for Christmas (so please don’t tell him!) Can’t wait to see his face on the day! You can get one too in Japan, or the States, links are on my profile. #Goonies #NeverSayDie #SkullAndCrossBones #OneEyedWilly

I keep hearing rumors about a sequel to Goonies and as much as that would be really cool, I kind of hope they just don’t do it. But who knows, after all, Goonies never say die. #Goonies #GooniesNeverSayDie #OneEyedWillie

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to do much for Halloween this year, but I did manage to get a few spooky shots of my half baked Crimson Skull inspired costume.

#Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone is one of the worst of the best of the worst fun movies I’ve ever seen.

Halloween is hands-down, my favorite holiday.
This year, I’m working hard and will miss out on some of the festivities, but in my mind I’ll be playing a constant reel of horror movies.
(Does that sound crazy? That sounds crazy. Ha! No crazy here!)

I’d hoped to do a lot more illustrations for all the fun Halloween prompts going on this month, but 13-hour work days six days a week aren’t making it any easier.
So here is a quick image from last year of ghosts having a seance. #GhostSéance #KidLit #Halloween25

Playing the first season of #TheTwilightZone as I do a bit of drawing and #ScrantonPennsylvania had been mentioned multiple times.

Watched #FrightNight for the first time in a long while. It’s brilliant but a lot less concise than I remember. Enter the house / leave the house / enter the house / leave the house / enter the room/ leave the room / enter the room / leave the room. Still, bloody brilliant.

#MartinScorsese #AfterHours is hilariously twisted. The cast alone is bonkers.

#NightoftheHunter (1955) is an incredible piece of filmmaking. It’s like a David Lynch film 20 years before David Lynch. The stark lighting and strange atmosphere throughout make it a real joy to watch. (If disturbing is your thing.) it’s hokey in parts by today’s standards but still holds up.

Had a chance to see #Wendell&Wild
It was fun. There’s something gentle about this animation: there’s a kind of stillness to the action, like when a character throws an object and it sails slowly through the air until it’s caught.

I’ve been using this fuzzy little dude as my profile photo for the past year, so I figured it was time to give him something else to do. #FrightFall #RetroSupply #SCBWI #SCBWIArtober2025 #carve #werewolf

Ugh. Tried some N4 listening practice today. All these years in Japan and I almost never actually used Japanese. (The downside of being a shut in.) #JLPTN4 #LearnJapanese #Pinhead
