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”
#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”
Writober Day 17: The Smell Of Death
I will never forget the smell when I returned to New Orleans after the hurricane. It permeated everything. It’s impossible to describe, but it’s a mix of rot, blood, excretion and this sickly-sweet horror that triggers the gag reflex until it is so stuck in your nostrils and pores that you realize it will alwaysContinue reading “Writober Day 17: The Smell Of Death”
#Writober Day 16: Shiny, Shiny Lure
I love the concept of this image, a creature that evolved to trap its prey by appealing to their impulse to help someone. Kind of like the Ted Bundy of water monsters. This image makes me think of Jaws. It also makes me think of the angler fish in Finding Nemo. The monster looks likeContinue reading “#Writober Day 16: Shiny, Shiny Lure”
#Writober Day 15: The Hill Has An Eye
This image, as my title suggests, made me think of the horror classic The Hills Have Eyes. It also makes me think of the wonderful faux documentary Troll Hunter and that super creepy mind-altering underground man-eating mushroom X-files episode Field Trip (Season Six episode 21). How would your character or characters react to coming acrossContinue reading “#Writober Day 15: The Hill Has An Eye”
