#WIPSnips for Nov. 10 is 'local'

Our protagonist here is fed up with supporting local athletes, because the local in question was an awful boyfriend

Too bad certain people just can't let it go
#creaturefeature #horror #lookingforbetareaders
excerpt from "Monsters Among Us : Teenage Wasteland" by Michael Spearwater the word 'local' is highlighted --- “Sure! Fine! Whatever you say, Gina!” Melody’s arms waved in improbably geometric forms as her nerves gave motion to her stress. “Just break up with one of our better football players…” “Better is relative,” Regina pointed out. “…barely a week before a game! When we need to be spreading school spirit and getting people to support our local athletes…” “Because, of course, even if we can’t all be athletes, we can at least be athletic supporters, right?” she added quickly. “Yes! Er, what?” Mel paused in mid-tirade as the other girls in the room tittered. “Gina! You know what I mean. Who’s going to root for poor Jake, now that he’s got this, this cloud over his head!” “Dude should’ve thought of that before he started with the stories about me and his head,” Regina stated. “I was willing to make this a peaceful and quiet breakup—” Mel was shaking her head. “No, no, no! No breakups just yet! It’s bad for morale!” “I dunno, I’m feeling pretty good about it.”

#MonsterMonday
Friends From the Deep
When your old pal from beneath the waves decides to drop by unannounced… and he's several stories tall.
#RetroHorror #MonsterMovie #CreatureFeature #PulpCinema #GenAI #SynthArt #AIart #aiartist #aiartcommunity #GenerativeArt #AIchallenge #BuilderofNightmares
A retro-style movie poster titled Friends From the Deep depicts a towering green sea creature with tentacles cascading down its face, resembling a colossal squid or Lovecraftian horror. The monster looms between tall mid-century city buildings, its enormous eyes staring blankly ahead while the moon hangs low in a blue sky behind it. The scene below shows 1950s cars halted on the street and tiny pedestrians staring upward in alarm. The poster text, in bold yellow and red type, reads: “Friends From the Deep — Starring Monster Man. Coming this Summer to a Theater Near You!” The design evokes vintage pulp horror and drive-in monster flicks, blending humor with classic cinematic dread. Keywords: retro horror, giant monster, vintage poster, 1950s cinema, Lovecraftian, city invasion, sea creature, pulp art, science fiction, monster movie, tentacled being, B-movie aesthetic Clearly identified as AI-generated; use is permitted for non-commercial creative projects.

And the #WIPSnips for Oct. 30 is 'spell'

...this #creaturefeature is nominally #sciencefiction / #horror, not fantasy, so I shall have to go with the non-magical meaning here

Good spelling online is practically magic, I suppose
excerpt from "Monsters Among Us : Teenage Wasteland" by Michael Spearwater the 'spell' in 'spelled' is highlighted --- Back at the house, there was more to distract him. Dishes had sat unwashed for over a day now, and he had a strange and sudden urge to vacuum. Reggie helped by pouring herself a glass of tea and pointing out which spots he’d missed. On its cubby desk in the living room, the old laptop whirred along. Like many things in his life, it was second-hand and heavily refurbished, but it did the bare minimum he needed. Right now, that meant email. “Huh, got something,” Reggie announced, squinting at the screen. “Another conspiracy nut, or someone looking for a bit part in this supposed horror movie they think we’re making?” “Neither.” She read it over again. “Well, maybe a conspiracy guy, but if so then he’s more coherent than most. Everything’s spelled properly, no mention of aliens or government mind control, and not an exclamation point in sight. Pretty reasonable, all in all.”

Oops, almost forgot the #WIPSnips for Oct. 29, 'broomstick'

This shows up several times in clusters in my #creaturefeature, oddly enough

Here's the last few times
excerpt from "Monsters Among Us : Teenage Wasteland" by Michael Spearwater the word 'broomstick' is highlighted three times --- JB hadn’t wanted to leave his bed for nothing. He skipped lunch, ignored a message from Reggie, and generally pretended that the real world didn’t exist. He couldn’t keep it up, though. He’d left the thing down there, and he had to make sure it stayed left. So there he was, broomstick in hand, making sure. In the old pen area of the junkyard, the trashcan did not move. This was perfectly ordinary for a squat cylinder of battered sheet metal, regardless of its contents, and JB could not find it in his head to take the thing at its appearance. Once more, for the two dozenth time, he poked it with the round end of the broomstick. For the two dozenth time, this failed to produce any result beyond a light rocking and a thick sloshing sound which he refused to think too much about. His phone sat in his pocket, used once and then ignored. What was he supposed to do with it, take selfies with… with… No. That was beyond morbid. No selfies, no fun, no celebrating the execution. And most definitely no distractions, just in case the trashcan was only playing dead. He jabbed it with the broomstick for the two dozenth and first time. Light rocking, thick sloshing, no murder-tentacles.

#WIPSnips for Oct. 28, and the topical word for the day is 'costume'

...which doesn't appear in my #creaturefeature about monsters that 'disguise' themselves as everyday objects, so I guess that substitution will have to do
excerpt from "Monsters Among Us : Teenage Wasteland" by Michael Spearwater the word 'disguise' is highlighted in lieu of 'costume --- Even starting on a full charge that morning, Regina’s smartphone was on track to be in its last gasps at the end of the day, because she’d had the diviner app running on it the entire damn time. Whenever it seemed like there was a free moment or safe opportunity to be had, she used her phone’s camera to scope out anything that could be a monster in disguise, which was damn near everything. So far, she hadn’t had any positives, though there were lingering doubts over the nature of Mr. Siebert’s toupee.

The Gill-man escapes from an experimental lab and is very irritated. Destruction and chaos ensue.

#WIPSnips for Oct. 27 is "blood-curdling", which my #creaturefeature #horror story does not have, but there are plenty of 'shriek' and 'scream' to go around
an excerpt from "Monsters Among Us : Teenage Wasteland" by Michael Spearwater the word 'shriek' is highlighted -- Something fell over at the other end of the alley, clanking on the concrete. Regina shrieked, surprised out of her apathy and into a momentary trip back to those moments behind the school the other day. At her side, Jake winced as he held his left ear. “Damn, baby. A little louder next time, why don’tcha? Probably just a cat… Yeah, see?” He nodded as a black-furred shape with a white muzzle and mittens hopped past the pile of old paint cans it had overturned. A soft mew hovered past them. “Nothing to worry about, Gina. Just a cute kitty—” The paint cans split open, on one end six-bladed flowers spreading to reveal ravenous little mouths, while at the other end they fragmented into dozens of tiny legs. They piled on the poor feline, clamping metal jaws onto its tail and flanks. The only thing louder than the cat’s wails of painful demise were Jake’s screams as he caught his own dick in his zipper and ran out the alley as fast as he could.

For #WIPSnips Oct. 19, the word is 'trial'

...which is something the heroine of my #upcoming #creaturefeature isn't interested in giving to any monsters at the moment

By this point, she's fed up, burnt out, and ready to move on to 'summary execution' if need be
excerpt from 'Monsters Among Us : Teenage Wasteland" by Michael Spearwater the word 'trial' is highlighted -- Late in the night, in the silence of a sleeping house, Regina stepped quietly into the garage. It was not a long trip, only a few yards from her room to the door, but it had all the somber gravity of a funeral march weighing down her feet. In her hands was a bucket, and in that, the little bottlecap monster skittered in confusion. As soon as she had the door shut and a towel from the laundry stuck along the bottom to block any light, Regina set up the stands and the cables and one of the lighting gizmos that the doc had in his collection. A pair of thick-glassed welding goggles went over her eyes. Then, by excruciating trial and error, she spent half the night determining exactly which combination of frequencies and intensities of light would best reduce the vile little abomination to a state of fatal crispiness. The tears hurt her eyes more than the flashes did.

The Hideous Sun Demon (1958)
Dir-Robert Clarke and Tom Boutross

Reverse werewolf vibe. Scientist turns into a monster when he ventures out into the sunlight.
A great monster suit and bizarre acting from the lead makes this a classic.
