Halloween Horrors: Underground Car Graveyard

Thursday, October 27th, 2022

Less scary than weird and curious, here’s some people exploring a water-filled “Cavern of Lost Souls” with “1000” (probably an exaggeration) old cars mysteriously dumped there. But there are an awful lot there, and it looks like a genuinely dangerous exploration.

This is evidently in north Wales.

Halloween Horrors: The Book of Cosmic Horror

Tuesday, October 25th, 2022

If you like some Hieronymus Bosch, maybe you’ll enjoy this freaky medieval book of prophecy.

With a nod to H. P. Lovecraft.

Halloween Horrors: Wasparama

Sunday, October 16th, 2022

Keeping the creepy crawly theme from yesterday going, here’s a video of a wasp and hornet expert removing a yellow-jacket nest from a wall in a woman’s basement.

A really, really, really big nest.

If that doesn’t freak you out enough, this guy has dozens more nest removal videos on his channel…

The museum is open seven days a week at 415 Barren Springs Dr, Houston, TX 77090.

Plenty.

This is a really gripping scary story, and somebody should make it into a movie.

Shoegazer Sunday: Slowdive’s “Sleep” Live

Sunday, September 25th, 2022

Slowdive’s “Sleep” was one of those Souvlaki outtakes that showed up on numerous bootleg demo compilations but never had an official release.

This version, recorded live at Komedia, Bath in the UK on May 18th this year, is evidently the first time they ever played it live.

In The Court of the Crimson King With AI Generated Art

Thursday, September 15th, 2022

There’s been a lot of talk lately about AI-generated art. Someone inputted the lyrics to King Crimson’s prog-rock classic “In the Court of the Crimson King” into Midjourney and the results are a lot better than I expected.
