There are many really great images of old, creepy costumes on the internet. This one really grabbed me. Maybe, it’s because I should know what they are, but don’t, or the dead-eyed expressionless affection of their pose. Is it just me, or is there a bony ghost hand grabbing for her dress? So what areContinue reading “#Writober Day 26: Are They Weasel People? Are They Rat People? Is One Less Scary?”

#Writober Day 25: Childhood Fears
If you’re looking for more truly horrible visual prompts, I recommend visiting Joshua Hoffine Horror Photography. He has an amazing selection of prints for sale. When I was little, I had a tall antique bed with a canopy. I had to run and jump to get on it. During the day, when I wanted toContinue reading “#Writober Day 25: Childhood Fears”
#Writober Day 24: Strangers At The Door
This image is so creepy! I find the idea of someone looking back at me when I look through the peephole in my door, terrifying. It makes me think of strangers spying on people. These days it’s so easy and prevalent. There are so many creepers in the world. It must be a strange, baseContinue reading “#Writober Day 24: Strangers At The Door”
Interview with Richard C. White about his new book Harbinger Of Darkness!
Some of you may remember way back before #Writober started, I asked What are you planning for #Writober? Back then, a million years ago, I mentioned that I planned to do Readers Imbibing Peril XII’s Peril in the First. I listed the books I planned on reading and half of those have changed, but IContinue reading “Interview with Richard C. White about his new book Harbinger Of Darkness!”
#Writober Day 23: A Path Through The Snow
This image grabs me with so many possibilities. Of course, the main question is, where’d that blood come from? That’s the story question, right? Or is that blood? What else could it be? This image makes me think of Fargo. All those people committing heinous crimes in the cold north. It also makes me thinkContinue reading “#Writober Day 23: A Path Through The Snow”
#Writober Day 22: Let Me Out
This image makes me think of the TV people in the first Poltergeist. It also makes me think of the powerful, creepy kid from Twilight Zone: The Movie who puts his sister in the television to be eaten by cartoons. The way the lines of the palm are clear against the screen makes me thinkContinue reading “#Writober Day 22: Let Me Out”
#Writober Day 21: Invasion of Red Foxes
Sandy Skoglund’s images are so creepy because she actually made all of those foxes and created a real scene for her photographs. They look so real and fake at the same time. Her choice of color adds to the surrealism. She’s done many images like this such as green cats and swarming squirrels. If you’reContinue reading “#Writober Day 21: Invasion of Red Foxes”
#Writober Day 20: The Darwin Pool
This guy looks like something that crawled out of The Darwin Pool. The Darwin Pool is what my friend and I call a tide pool at the ocean with weird looking sea life in it, like an albino tadpole looking thing or a creepy piranha with legs like our friend in the picture. So howContinue reading “#Writober Day 20: The Darwin Pool”
#Writober Day 19: The Blob
When this thing fist appeared on the ramp, I could not get my head around what it could possibly be. When I walked up to it, I thought it was a horrifying clump of eggs. But then I did some research. It is a colony of pectinatella magnifica. I wrote a post back in 2015Continue reading “#Writober Day 19: The Blob”
#Writober Day 18: The Uni-Pega-Monkey
Of course, this image makes me think of The Wizard of Oz, the most horrifying nightmare of them all, pushed on young children as some joyous fantasy. Tornadoes and Kansas are real, you crazy adults! But this monkey is even worse than what that every-holiday haunting movie professes. This monkey is horned. Is it uniqueContinue reading “#Writober Day 18: The Uni-Pega-Monkey”
