Isn’t this image amazing? I love this creature. Such a great design and rendering. Last year, the alien image inspired me to write a story about the subtle reptilian invasion going on under our noses; co-workers and friends in human form until “the change”. This year, I’m thinking full-scale, violent invasion. A whole army ofContinue reading “#Writober Day 29: Alien Invasion”

#Writober Day 28: Underwater Living
I love these haunting images of life underwater. They make me think of Atlantis in decay. Maybe a gritty crime drama set in the underwater city. It makes me think of mermaids, but not The Little Mermaid kind. More like the scary ones from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I looked up scaryContinue reading “#Writober Day 28: Underwater Living”
#Writober Day 27: Watch what you wish for, it may show up in mutated ways
I don’t have much to say about this one. I’m listening to Nancy Sinatra and wanting my plant to eat all the people. Or maybe the (other) crazy geneticists have already made the Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) that will reach out and ask how you feel about them as they eat you back. That isContinue reading “#Writober Day 27: Watch what you wish for, it may show up in mutated ways”
#Writober Day 26: Are They Weasel People? Are They Rat People? Is One Less Scary?
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”
#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”
