No problems! Happy to hear you had fun!
Did you stick your cat's face in a pin board? 😆
I preferred when Superhero Therapy was called DOOM PATROL.
My first novel, GRIEVE'S FIRST INVESTIGATION, is now available. A twentysomething #goth detective finds out that TV detectives and IRL investigations aren't quite the same in this slightly comedic story.

Granted she has severe dementia, but still...
One Saturday morning I saw the TV ad for Prog 1 as my mother was going to the local shops. "Mam! Can you get me this 2001 comic?" Read it right up until the mid 90s, when the local newsagent's delivery of it became too sporadic to count on...
It's extremely trashy at times but you just have to roll with it. Lots of hilarious, gleefully dumb gore in some. But there's a great Lovecraft adaptation, interesting story concepts and it avoids the usual found footage "ah something's over there!" swinging camera stuff.
I really enjoyed it.
I once directed Rik Mayall for a voiceover. Poor bloke was full of cold, feeling like crap but stuck it out (oo-er!) and nailed it (OO-ER!) I worked with a lot of famous sorts but Rik was just an absolutely lovely, zero pretention, all-round good bloke.
DANCE DANCE DANCE DANCE DANCE!
Happily Forge-of-Icing away at the Alaska RPG Con in Wasilla!
As a game it probably works but as a movie it just becomes like watching a 2 minute video on (mostly) repeat. 😆
Exit 8 annoyed me. I get the idea of repetition is part of the game but it doesn't make for a great movie.
It's pretty good. I enjoyed it.
It's great. Really well executed, tense and genuinely scary.
It's one size fits none.
Yeah I think a kid watching misses a lot of what was going on (both stories have discussions that would go over a kid's head) but the Zuni doll just works as it's so simple. And thanks. Glad you enjoy the show!
Oh yeah. It's VERY 1980s 😆
It's fun but really cheap-looking in the wraparound story. And they have acts in the club so if 80s pop is your thing you'll enjoy it, although it does mean less horror story time and more budget/runtime for the music. Although this is funny.
