While I was on a hiatus, one of the projects I worked on was a series of five-horror-movie marathon recommendations by unusual themes. Not just a group of zombie or slasher movies, but collections focused on horror movies where the landscape is the threat, or movies that use stop-motion animation, or movies that focus on news reporters as protagonists.

The aim was initially just for me to look at horror movies in a different way than usual. But I want to share these because it’s been a fascinating exercise in building connections and looking at horror through other lenses. I asked myself a lot of questions I’d never really asked before in making these lists. What’s the effect of using practical effects in your movies? Why are there so few horror movies focused on military protagonists? What’s a common theme in stories about people being trapped?

I won’t guarantee that all of the movies I recommend are good--the only reason they’re featured is because they share a single theme with other movies on the list. Checking out doesthedogdie.com for content you’re sensitive to is generally a good idea, because while some of these movies are relatively tame as far as horror goes (like Q), some of them (like Martyrs) are...not.

So break out your movie snack of choice, turn down the lights, get comfortable, and enjoy. It’s a bit of a wild ride.

Kinda hate that when talking about autism being a disability, some people only focus on the sensory part and ignore every other trait that can be disabling, or minimize those. Autism isn't only about sensory issues and these are not the only thing that make us have difficulties and be disabled.

Communication difficulties, social difficulties, difficulties with emotional regulation, rigid thinking, executive dysfunction, etc, are also traits that can be very disabling, and cause meltdowns and shutdowns, btw.

Not saying that sensory issues are not important, they are but they are not the only thing that make autism a disability.

Let’s make a lasagna (and argue about things in the notes)

And that’s as far down the lasagna as it will let me go. Pretend there’s at least more veggies & sauce below that.

I realize that a noodle layer right under the top mozzarella layer is unconventional, but don’t knock it til you try it. Cheese right on pasta, it’s my favorite part of the lasagna.

I’m so turning off the notifs on this one, I can’t even imagine how vicious people can get about lasagna ingredients.

What’s everybody’s most useless skill? If you show me any picture of Godzilla I can tell you exactly which Godzilla suit it is and who was wearing it.

What about this one

This is from Godzilla Minus One and it’s CGi. No suit actor involved in this movie (but the big Godzilla head in the water was a practical effect).

I welcome anyone to challenge me on this

How about this one??

Oh shit now this is a challenge! I’m 100% sure that the suit is the SoshingekiGoji suit, but this suit was used in like 4 different movies, so the real challenge is figuring out which movie this is.

I’m pretty sure this shot is from Godzilla Destroy All Monsters (the first movie that this suit was used in), because of the lack of wear and damage to the suit.

And we know that Godzilla is being played by Haruo Nakajima in this shot because of which movie this is (but it’s also extremely obvious based on Godzillas posture)

That is:

A: 100% correct

B: Incredibly hot

A challenge from my friend!

This is KiryuGoji (the first one) played by Tsutomu Kitagawa

I really like this one! At first glance it looks like it could be a Heisei era suit, but this is one of the KiryuGoji suits from Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla, and Godzilla Tokyo S.O.S!

The spines are the dead giveaway for this suit! They have the same shape as MireGoji but without the purple tint that we see in the image below. We only ever saw this style of spine in the Millennium era films.

The only other suit with the millennium era spines in this color is the FinalGoji suit. We can rule out this being FinalGoji by comparing FinalGojis face to the one in the picture.

KiryuGoji has larger eyes and the whites of his eyes are more visible. FinalGoji (on the right) has more prominent ears, and you can’t see the whites of his eyes.

Here’s the thing though, there are actually 2 KiryuGoji suits. The second suit looks a lot like the first one, but it had a big scar on its chest. The lack of scar on this suit means that this is a picture from Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla, and not from Tokyo SOS, and that is how we know that this is the first KiryuGoji suit.

Oh I've got this really hard one. Can you figured out where it game from ?

I sure can! It’s a fan design made by tumblr user @yagamimi-aka-mimi and it’s one of my favorite Godzilla designs that I’ve ever seen!

also hey are you brainrotted enough to know which suit this one is lol

Oh!! Oh!! I know this one!! It looks kinda like GyakushuGoji but this is the T-Rex suit from “The Volcano Monster” (I think it’s called GigantisGoji).

I mainly know this because I’m familiar with this photo. (This is the only known photo of this suit in America!) but you can also tell because he doesn’t have ears!

The volcano monster suit (on the left) has no ears, while GyakushuGoji (on the right does).

Other than a few similarly small differences, the Volcano Monster suit is nearly identical to GyakushuGoji. This because it was going to be used for an American movie (called The Volcano Monster) that was planing to also reuse special effects shots from Godzilla Raids Again.

Ok ok I fully intend to stump you with this one. If it doesn't, I'll uh. I'll say "aw shucks".

Awwww heck. You have in fact stumped me. What is this from? Is this a fan animation?

I tricked u it's my own thing I made a few years ago. I figured it's extremely unlikely you'd possibly come across it before but the chances weren't zero lol

Incredible power move to make one of the most beloved crpgs ever made using a modified dnd 5e system, make a ton of money and shit on most AAA game studios in the process, then say “cool. Anyway fuck dnd 5e and wizzards of the coast. We’re doing our own thing now.”

I KNOW I told this story before on my old blog but I don’t care bc it’s topical.

In second grade we kept a journal and every day when we got to class there was a prompt on the board to journal about. I LOVED this because it was my daily chance to draw in class. It was the only thing in school I was good at.

One day we were prompted to describe our favorite thing about the field trip we went on the day prior, and I said I liked going to the fast food place with a playground for lunch.

I drew an intricate scene depicting children playing in a 1990s indoor fast food playground, but I included a skeleton at the bottom of the ball pit, which I thought was a true stroke of comedic & artistic genius.

But my teacher found it disturbing so after class she brought my mom in and put the drawing in front of me and asked me to explain my thought process, which is already a lot to ask of a seven year old,

but luckily my artistic vision could not have been clearer and I did indeed have the backstory for the ballpit skeleton all laid out in my mind’s eyes.

I looked at them both and said as obviously as possible, “stayed in there too long.”

The progression of each of the acts’ storylines in BG3 is insane because it’s just like

Act 1: There’s a bunch of goblin cultists trying to kill some druids because they believe in a different deity, kill them so the refugees can leave safely, or turn on the druids and refugees if you want to play as a bad guy

Act 2: A bunch of people have been kidnapped so you need to venture through the British countryside of Perpetual Night to kill this lich with the help of his lesbian daughter and her demigod girlfriend in order to revive an immortal child that was banished to the Shadow Realm

Act 3: A gnome terrorist organisation will help you blow up a giant robotic policeman so you can go beat the shit out of an Archduke after you find out his anaemic spy’s underlings have been murdering people from the local brothel before you go to soufflé a giant psychic brain deity so everyone doesn’t turn into evil squid furries.
