Grendels Dad posted:I like that old bit about Vampires that if one chases you, you have to spill some rice on the floor and the vampire is compelled to stop and count every rice corn. I swear theres some short story or movie or something where the heroes break this out to try and deal with a really old vampire and he just looks down for one second and says "6,480" and resumes chasing them immediately.

The reason the cross works against them is because they're Ghat damned.

My father-in-law has terrible taste in sci fi and told me about a book he just finished reading. It involved an alien invasion of a near-future Earth. Aliens black out the sun somehow and are besieging Earth and starving out the populace. I don't remember why, and it doesn't matter. In the final few chapters, with absolutely no precedent for this whatsoever, a hero emerges in a last-ditch gambit to save Earth from the alien mothership. It is Dracula (and a gaggle of his spawn). Motherfucker flies up through the stratosphere, into space, rips into the ship's hull, and kills the alien leaders in an orgy of violence. No other part of this story had any vampire poo poo or even hints at this kind of fantasy genre material until the last forty pages of a 300+ page novel. In conclusion, Draculas is a land of contrasts.

We talking about weird draculas? I've been preparing for this my whole life. Daughter of Darkness (1990). Anthony Perkins (Psycho) plays a vampire in Romania. Dracula was real here, but he was killed by vampire hunters long ago. These vampires leave giant hickey when they feed. Their teeth are normal human teeth. Instead the tip of their tongue splits open to reveal a lamprey like opening.

Insane sci-fi post reminded me of a paperback I read in a breach rental house over a rainy weekend. Probably 15 years ago now. It was about a Massachusetts town that has a new problem: a Nazi -created man/shark hybrid that got out of the torpedoed Nazi submarine it was caged on. I don't remember how the ~60 year gap was survived by shark man. Anyways, literal Nazi landsharkman digging thru trash cans and eating townsfolk

Sorry to go back to this: But a subway station is not the trains house. The train yard is the trains house, a subway station is merely the train's office. Doesn't make the person who wrote this any less rude, and unappreciative of trains hard work though.

Let's not forget the novel Jaws was focused on a love affair and Spielberg just ignored like a third of it entirely. Some authors need a harsh editor for their own good. That said it sounds like an entertaining material, get Bruce Campbell to play the manipulative mayor.

That'd be a rad shirt, I think I found the original (at least one that credits the artist, there's another site that seems to have ripped it off and replaced the brand name in the image) but it's only in women's t shirts unfortunately In case anybody is interested: https://www.exlibre.com/products/wicca-wicca Credited artist is Mike Willcox but I don't see it on his site/shop: https://mikewillcox.bigcartel.com/ boofhead has a new favorite as of 09:53 on Aug 18, 2023 |

Each shirt is stamped with a limited edition mark and built to last. so looks like the right place to me!
