Things that tilt my head.

Coming to you from south Osaka. Trying to keep up with a pen in my hand, a camera in my back pocket, and a song stuck on a loop in the corner of my mind.

I’m not dead! But my computer was for a little while. It has been revived by a very helpful friend, but it is not as strong as it was before. But I figured it was time for some kind of update...

This is an image of a friend of mine kind of... Kingdom Hearts-ized. (I’ve done these for several friends, but this is one more universally enjoyable, I suppose.) She is a huge Marvel fan, far more than I, but it’s a fandom we have in common. And so... enjoy? I dunno. I’ll try to get back into this again now that my laptop is back.

31 Days of Halloween - Day 15 “Sore Loser“

Pinhead from Hellraiser - who went from being a cool and collected mystery to an angry and violent horror trope. I’m going a little more for the beginning. 

“If you have a quality, be proud of it. Let it define you, whatever it is.”

* my computer has been giving me a little trouble so... this 31 days might extend past Halloween

31 Days of Halloween - Day 14 “Madly in Love“

I love old movies. Peter Lorre deserved a place in this line-up too. Dr. Gogol from the eerie Mad Love (1935).

"Guess now who holds thee? Death, I said. But there the silver answer rang: Not death, but love!"

31 Days of Halloween - Day 13 “Don't lose your head...“

The headless horseman, of course. No particular version.

Colder, colder, colder

31 Days of Halloween - Day 12 “King and Queen“

The original Carrie film is classic. The recent remake was... okay, but really needless. You go get’em girl. 

They’re not quite laughing...

31 Days of Halloween - Day 11 “This is Audrey II“

I knew this show, the songs, the story, and the characters, but it was just the other night that I finally sat down and watched the film start to finish. Audrey II had to get in this list too.

I'm just a mean green mother from outer space and I'm bad!

31 Days of Halloween - Day 10 “How do you do?"

Jack Skellington is what most people might think of for a Halloween character. I believe this fabulous things would be a close second among my friends. 

It's not easy having a good time...

31 Days of Halloween - Day 09 “What a Grim Situation"

Silly old Cartoon Network show. But Death had to get in this list somewhere. I'm team Mandy. How about you?

[Mandy enters with a Halloween costume.] Billy: Hey, Mandy, what are you supposed to be? Mandy: I am a ruthless high-priced prosecuting attorney. Grim: Then what's with the claws? Mandy:[Pauses and looks at them.] They're for rending human flesh.

31 Days of Halloween - Day 08 “Don't Watch the Tape"

This movie scared me so much the first time I saw it. The Ring. Not It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown.

Seven days...

31 Days of Halloween - Day 07 "Five Sheep at Freddy’s" 

No sawing logs for Mr. Krueger. No counting sheep. Shredding sheep puts this dream haunter to sleep when he needs to recharge. 

RIP Mr. Craven.

31 Days of Halloween - Day 06 "Face Your Fears"

It's never too late to conquer a childhood issue. Pretty much Jason's only defining background characteristic. Get after that buddy. This message brought to you by Camp Crystal Lake.

31 Days of Halloween - Day 05 “Something Very Wrong”

There's no way this guy wasn't going to make the list. I could ask any of my friends to give me a "Halloween" character suggestion and he would have come up 9/10 times easily.

This is Halloween people.

(One day late. And I hope to do two today to make it up.)

31 Days of Halloween - Day 04 “Partying with Friends”

Though I would call the movie mediocre at best, The Princess and the Frog has a really well-done villain who would have absolutely terrified me as a child. 

Are you ready?

31 Days of Halloween - Day 03 “Serious Business” 

Though not necessarily a strict horror or Halloween character, the Joker is a disturbing figure. 

How about a magic trick?

31 Days of Halloween - Day 02 “Mistress of the Dark”

Elvira, your mistress of the dark, bringing valley girl quips and b-grade horror into your life like you never knew you needed. 

 Unpleasant dreams!

31 Days of Halloween - Day 01 “Darkness shall reign!”

Halloween says devils, yeah? This one is wholly inspired by Tim Curry’s Darkness character from “Legend” (1985). So much darkness. But so much more glitter. 

The goal for the next month is to draw one little cartoon-y representation of all the characters that feel like Halloween to me. Personal challenge accepted. >w<

[halfheartedrages]

It’s me! Drawn by me! To alleviate the boredom of being me!

Someone give me some other ideas! Japan needs more movies.
