#I'd rather find literally anything else in my bed then real life bed bugs again. I was going to say I would rather find a monster in my bed

Watching the Junji Ito Maniac episode "Mold", and as far as I can tell so far, it looks like it's based on the visceral terror of real life black mold taking over your house until you can afford to fix it or move

and frankly literally nothing else scary needs to happen this is the scariest story he's ever written

#if there is an episode about this show just based on the concept of bed bugs and literally nothing supernatural occurs #it will hands down be the scariest episode of television I've ever seen. #I'd rather find literally anything else in my bed then real life bed bugs again. I was going to say I would rather find a monster in my bed #but as a monsterfucker I feel like this goes without saying #I'd rather find the thing from John Carpenter's The Thing in my bed than normal bed bugs #junji ito #junji ito maniac #original #and from what I've heard about black mold it's not only a serious biohazard but extremely difficult to get out of a house #I paused to write this because I got spooked by the concept of mold - literally nothing has happened yet except for a guy going 'gross!!' #but it is one of those rare nights where staying up later than usual is not in my worst interest #I have a silly show set up to watch after this like a spookiness rip cord #friends if you ever come home to your house and it's covered in unidentifiable mold you need to get out of there until it's checked out #ESPECIALLY if the family you leased it to was drawn by junji Ito #listen I know it's a metaphor for the human mind probably but holy crap dude you got to move #well the good news is the mold was probably just a baby #like a horrific physical manifestation of a baby clinging to every surface of the house and devouring everything in it #no joke that is way less scary than the concept of actual black mold XD I was like oh thank fuck it's magic #oh fuck yeah now it's Library demon time #oh how the memories of the past do haunt us eh buddies? #Jesus fucking Christ does this guy know how to draw a scary scary scary face #oh how I would have hated him as a child #oh how I long to possess his strange and horrible powers of art now
