This is it, gang. Tonight we need to say goodbye until Joe Bob's Labor Day Ruckus or The Ethiopian New Year Hullabaloo or whatever. I'm going to desperately miss talking nonsense with your freaks & weirdos.

One last time (for now): take a moment to ensure that you've been duly sworn in by taking our sacred oath.

First Movie: ???

Second Movie: Day of the Dead

I tried redoing Hungry Like The Wolf by Duran Duran for tonight, but I couldn't wedge both caliginous and callipygian in there while also referencing Bastille Day and probably-werewolves. I failed you, fam! 😫

At any rate, you should know that you're legally obligated to get sworn in before that one guitar part punches you in the feels. So, raise your right hand...

First Movie: Alligator

Second Movie: Grizzly

What do y'all think?

I'm really bad at guessing these, but I'm going to say An American Werewolf in London (1981) and Abominable (2006).

However! Tomorrow is Bastille Day, so I think it would be appropriate if Joe Bob and Darcy played Brotherhood of the Wolf (2001).

Lloyd Kaufman is asking begging for help!

On 27 June 2023, YouTube took down the TromaMovies channel over violations of its community standards, leaving many other channels up that commit the same violations. Selective enforcement of rules is not gangster, YT.

Here is the announcement from Lloyd Kaufman.

And here is a MoveOn.org petition gently asking YouTube to unfuck themselves. I know petitions are kinda whatever, but it's a thing we can do.

Folks and kin, gather 'round the flickering embers of this here ancient fire and let the shadows dance in the hollers of our souls.

In the hallowed heart of these spooky-ass woods, we unite as one. Like the roots of ageless trees entwined beneath the forest floor, so shall our mutant bond remain unbreakable.

We are bound by the legacy of our ancestors, which we carry forward into the endless night through our sacred oath.

First Movie: Dark Night of the Scarecrow

Second Movie: Beyond the Door III

I actually thought I might be having an aneurysm or a stroke. It was weird.

An iridescent zigzag appeared in part of my field of vision, and another portion of my field of vision just... stopped. I had this big blind spot for like an hour, all while this jagged rainbow bastard chilled in my left peripheral.

That went away slowly, only to be replaced with vertigo and exhaustion. Almost no headache, though. I kept verifying that one side of my face wasn't paralyzed or whatever because I've had migraines a few times before, but those were nothing like this! Apparently they can just be this way.

Does anyone else get these? They're dumb.

That'll buff right out.

1 image per 17.4 square feet seems excessive.

...I know Tabitha wasn't trying to leave, but her exit from Fromville (AKA "the island") made me think of this thing I wrote earlier on in the second season:

If they all get to leave Fromville, they'll do it by walking out together, as a group. Maybe it would look something like a biblical trial or a mythical quest, calling back to Father Khatri and Ethan's speculation about the place.

An individual trying to leave on their own is not ideal.

Nobody who arrived in the town had any indication that they were entering a weird/supernatural/whatever environment before seeing the tree. Why would a person have any forewarning before leaving?

Let's put aside the increased resistance the town and woods kick up when trying to leave. Let's for a moment pretend you don't encounter weird spiders, lighthouses, chained up creepy dudes, and skin worms when trying to escape. Let's say if you just keep walking you'll eventually just walk out.

What then? You don't know how to get back. You've left everyone behind in a place you don't know the location of or how to get there. And you, yourself, have been a missing person for months or years. What are you going to tell people?

Will you tell them the truth? Will you tell them that you have been in a magical town that's impossible to leave that's populated by monsters that obey vampire rules as long as you have a super special rock on the wall of your house? Oh, and by the way, I can name dozens of other missing people from across the country... some of whom disappeared after I went off the grid. Is that what you tell people? Because it sounds suspicious as fuck.

Even if they can't pin the blame for anyone's disappearance on you, your story is so insane that it will not be believed. No one will help you try to find the other missing people. You might very well become a person of interest when future people who missing under similar circumstances.

If you manage to walk out of the woods alone, you're fucked.

What are everyone's guesses for this week?

I'm saying this week it'll be Jug Face and Valerie and Her Week of Wonders.
