The Miskatonic Acid Test

I totally have to see this. It looks awful!

It’s HP Lovecraft a-go-go in “The Miskatonic Acid Test“, the first feature from American Entropy Productions. It’s 1969, and cosmic horror infects a psychedelic rock “happening” in witch-haunted Arkham, Mass. It’s a zonked out brew of poetry, philosophy, cosmic horror, and 60’s-style acid rock; probably the first horror movie that’s more heavily influenced by the Monkees’ “Head” than by George Romero… This is the official trailer.

Always remember: If you’re alone in the kitchen and you drop the lamb, you can always just pick it up. Who’s going to know?

Quite so.

A totally diet safe cake heartlessly stolen from curiously crafty. One has to wonder what they get up to there, messing around with people’s cake, but then they don’t take it to any great extent, as is obvious here.

Creamy, but strangely unsatisfying...

tentacled glory above, and below nothing but darkness and the gnashing of teeth

Above, there is a blaze of glory
and beneath,
nothing but darkness,
and the gnashing of teeth.

Kewl.

how to decode personal ads

Tell me I’m not into service journalism! Puh-leeze, I’m all about the service pieces, and here’s one of the most useful I’ve come across: How to decode women’s personal ads. The world does not need “how to decode men’s personal ads” because they all translate into “if you show up, I will fuck you.” Duh.

etc. I expect my UK friends to have much fun with this. Just assume it was written by Edwina Currie and it will all make perfect sense. And, in an ironic way, that holds true even for those of us who exist outside that particular bubble.
