New Horror 2023 – Day 25

“My situation was now one of extreme delicacy and embarrassment.”

“The Transferred Ghost” by Frank Stockton (1882)

I’m glad some of these spooky stories can have a laugh with it.

“I only knew that I should not be.”

“The Muck Monster” by Bernie Wrightson (1975)

That’s an impressive comic! Wrightson was clearly building up to his grand take on Frankenstein with these earlier explorations of existential nightmares. It looks amazing and the story’s nice and somber.

“Are you in favor of filth coming into Pottsville?”

The Being dir. Jackie Kong (1983)

A neat low-budget monster movie, and impressive given it’s the director’s first work. But I also can’t says you gotta see it. If you watch it for anything, watch it for the monster effects.

“From the moment he first SPIED-her, he wanted to make that girl his naturally WEBBED wife!”

Tales from the Cryptkeeper – Seasons 2 & 3 (1994 & 1999)

You know, this show is most definitely for KILL-dren, but I still really enjoyed more dead-PUN humor from the Cryptkeeper and the occasional spooky GORY that punched way above its Saturday MOURNING weight class.
