She went as the moon from Melies's "Trip to the Moon" (Halloween roundup)



For Halloween, a weekday morning cartoon that scarred me for life

This Letterboxed article, "Scarred for Life: our crew shares the unexpectedly formative movies we watched way too young" spurred me to seek this out--I found the synthetic skin layer and man-eating plant absolutely horrific. Especially the skin. 

Haven't watched it since I was a little kid--I accurately remembered that she pulls at the "skin" to show the protection, but it's infinitely, ridiculously less graphic than I remembered, and/or modified in my nightmares (as an adult, I find the kid's speech pattern much more disturbing):









Great newsletter discussing horror films

Grave Offerings is the rare newsletter that I read promptly every day. The last entry was about Aliens and The Dutch East India Company.

New Halloween Horror comics Humble Bundle (and a bundle featuring dice)

The horror comics bundle starts at $5 for three volumes. 

There's also a $84 bundle featuring six sets based on classic Dungeons and Dragons modules (listed as a $210 value).
