Check out this horrifying bug I learned about

My initial guess was 70% this tweet was accurate, 30% it was just a scifi creature:

A female Phronima sedentaria - ‘monster in a barrel’ - on Scilly today!

An amphipod crustacean, she parasitises salps, devouring them from the inside, forming a vessel to raise her young!

These incredible creatures were the inspiration behind Ridley Scott’s 1979 film, Alien 👽 pic.twitter.com/4T27mzSAwP

Yes, it's horrifyingly accurate:

In order to construct their barrels, females first locate a suitable salp, pyrosome, or cnidarian host and either cut into the host or enter through an existing opening. Once inside, the female consumes the organism within and carve out the gelatinous inside, leaving nothing but the tunic.

...

Female Phronima sedentaria are capable of producing up to 600 eggs at a time. Juveniles spend their early development within the mother in a specialized pouch called the marsupium. After finding a suitable host, the female begins to transform the barrel into a nursery for its young. 

Here's more footage:

Nightmare fuel: a medical creature goes on an adventure

I certainly learned something new. And apparently not that unusual.

Battlestar Galactica's nightmare fuel Tucana singers

"Tucanas are mainly humanoid in appearance, though are four-eyed and two-mouthed. The lower mouth is capable of generating a low-pitch capable of breaking glass if sustained for a long period of time."

*Previously: The robot dog from Battlestar Galactica was a chimpanzee in costume

These "Bite Size Shorts" horror movies to promote Skittles and other candies are great

20 minutes of roughly two-minute horror tales. The mini-movies don't even hint at the candies, but I assume they included bumpers when they aired on television:

To break through the over saturation of all of the candy brands in October, we disrupted the traditional commercial block with four adrenaline-raising two-minute horror films. The films debuted in marquee programs on FOX like American Horror Story and The MLB playoffs.

 
The Mars films, Skittles’ “Floor 9.5”, M & Ms’ “The Road”, Starburst’s “The Replacement”, and Snicker’s “Live Bait” were created by up and coming horror directors. We created the brief for the filmmakers, curated the pitches, developed the scripts and produced the films.

Best one so far: a guy called in and told a story about how his mom woke up once and she had a small silver man walking on her arm. He said the silver man must have weighed 40lbs because his footprints left deep indentations on her arm.
