New Horror 2022 - Day 23
"The Pear-Shaped Man" by George R.R. Martin (1987)
"I knew when I saw you that you'd want my things."
I was unsure where this was going to go, certain it couldn’t be as obvious as the setup implied. And the twist did not disappoint.
===
"Fortune Broken" by Sandy King, Leonardo Manco, Marianna Sanzone (2015)
"Death runs from me, you old witch!"
A simple one, and too abrupt in its conclusion. A bit more time at the end and I might’ve been more into it.
===
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari dir. Robert Wiene (1920)
"Awaken for a moment from your dark night."
That German expressionism sure is nice to look at. In fact, googling “German expressionism” mostly returns results for this movie. That art design is just so much more interesting than what we see in 90% of movies, even for the text that’s cut in to display dialogue. The music of the 1994 release that I watched was also so good! The story itself is a quaint yarn right up until the end when a twist I didn’t see coming elevated it several notches (though I feel like I’m more naive or caught up in the moment than most viewers tend to be.) Hey, it turns out I love this movie.
===
The Excavation of Hob's Barrow dev. Cloak and Dagger Games (2022)
“Life is for living, not for worrying about what comes after.”
The folk horror has left the strongest impression this month. Just that Lovecraftian sense of confronting the uncontrollable forces that direct the flow of things, which we cannot see nor feel except at our lowest and most desperate moments. And by then, it’s too late to escape. After playing this and Silent Hill, I’m ready for some lighter video game horrors.

An Interview with Sandy King of Storm King Comics
#horror #comicbooks and #halloween! It's all the ingredients needed for Storm King Comics to succeed in our joint #interview with Absolute Underground Magazine about this publisher. We got to talk to @stormkingskc too!
Sandy King is certainly not overshadowed by her husband and filmmaker extraordinaire, John Carpenter. Together, they are a powerhouse couple who’s out to make a unique stamp in not only comicbookdom but also cinema. She’s not only co-producer of her husbands many works, but also the first woman founder of the comic book publishing company, Storm King Comics . Before this shift to publishing, she…

Do you think Sandy would carry Macaque (it’s totally not to feel how fluffy he is. Nope. Nuh uh)
If you are both friendly and as tall as a tree, then you are prime material for a bunch of monkeys to climb onto.
So yeah, Sandy kinda just lets it happen.
However some monkeys are clingier than others
