I adore the rampage in Invasion of Astro Monster a lot. The slow but steady raging from countryside to village to city, the way the stock footage from Rodan is weaved perfectly in and out, the monster trio at their best and brightest with the kitschy Planet X saucers buzzing and humming around their heads.
A different sort of monster story of unrequited love by Ray Bradbury with illustrations by James R. Bingham. Originally published in The Saturday Evening Post (June 23, 1951)
.
The story was later collected in anthologies under the new title The Fog Horn to distance it from the 1953 monster movie. The film producers bought the rights from Bradbury and used the Post illustration by Bingham as a basis for the creature.
The comic book industry also adapted a slightly changed story in a 1953 issue of Tales of Horror without crediting Bradbury.
The Beast from the Deep! Published in Tales of Horror #7 (October 1953). Popularly credited to Ray Bradbury (An unknown author scripted the comic) with art by Howard Rosenberger.
🗺️Our advice? Don’t take direction from a false map turtle (Graptemys pseudogeographica).
🐢This critter’s name refers to the (non-navigational) pattern on its carapace. It can be spotted in rivers, lakes, or ponds in Mississippi, Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana. The turtle enjoys spending its time basking in the Sun and munching on insects, fish, or aquatic vegetation.
Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has done it again: Twenty years after first winning the Brazilian presidency, the leftist defeated incumbent Jair Bolsonaro Sunday in an extremely tight election that marks an about-face for the country after four years of far-right politics.
With more than 99% of the votes tallied in the runoff vote, da Silva had 50.9% and Bolsonaro 49.1%, and the election authority said da Silva’s victory was a mathematical certainty.
Good! But the danger of a fascist coup is far from over. We need to be on high alert.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
