    Ah, alright. There actually was a film made based from the Ketchum book, of the same title. The Girl Next Door. It's alright. Doesn't capture the events nearly as well. It's still disturbing to watch, but more on the level of "Funny Games" or something. The book is worth reading, but I'll say...

    The Girl Next Door film is loosely based off of Ketchum's book, actually. I'll look into Verity. If it's good, it's good, doesn't have to be hardcore. No One Gets Out Alive is more traditional horror, but Nevill does write in a bit of a more visceral style, very similar to the style of oldschool...

    (I've got a two-parter tonight! The first book I'll discuss is a disgusting mess, and honestly kinda lousy. The second though is one I'd recommend, so if you don't feel like reading all of this, that's the part I'd recommend the most if you're bothering to read any of my rambling at all! HAPPY...

    I can deal with some shit, I'm kinda used to it. But once whistling starts where no one is, I'm done.

    Looks so good! I loved the first one so much. Absolutely on my list once I've got some free money.

    The Big Spook Thread

    I posted a lengthy blog post about growing up in a reportedly haunted house about 2 years ago, I'll link that! Xeo's True Ghost Story! I've also worked in three pretty notoriously haunted buildings throughout my life. (I live in a small down known for having some old ass, haunted sites around...

    Yeah, I splurged on the Pulse 3D as well, because well, my headset is old and shitty. Only one ear works, and my TV's speakers aren't great. So this is the only way I can get nice sound, or ANY surround sound period.

    If there is ever an option for physical media, I'll almost always take it. Furthermore, if there's ever a version of something with more possible useful options, I'll almost always take it.

    Can't wait, man! I know we've discussed it a bit on the normal site, but yeah. Physical edition pre-ordered along with Demon's Souls and the Pulse 3D Headset. I paid off the headset and Demon's Souls. I have $330 sitting on the console itself, so I need to finish that off and my copies of AC...

    What are y’all gonna be for Halloween?

    Probably depressed. Or maybe a clown.

    Best 'Hand-Drawn' Game

    This one is probably my favorite. I LOVE the artstyle in this one. It's so, so beautiful and detailed. And yet also charming.

    The film was pretty decent, the Swedish one anyway. But it leaves out some fairly important stuff too. I'd recommend the book if you liked the film. THAT'S how a proper vampire romance can still work and actually still stay within the horror genre.

    What are you playing?

    Well I started Wasteland 3 after trading some stuff in for it. And it's pretty awesome so far. My starting characters are a male assault rifle focused leader type named Viper, and a female scout type who uses SMGs named Pegasus. When I find the time I'll probably dig into The Surge 2 as well...

    It's old news in the world of horror these days, but by chance have you read the original "Let the Right One In"? by John Ajvide Lindqvist? It's much darker than things like Twilight, and I'd say is closer to actual horror, but damn was it fantastic. And it's something of a vampire/human love story.

    So happy you enjoyed it! It was a delightful read, both times I read it. I love the atmosphere of the entire second half of the book. It's much more science fiction than horror, but Reid's follow up to this one "Foe" was realy good as well. This guy has a knack for writing unsettling, tight...

    That one was my favorite out of the trilogy. It's been so long since I've read them though. I may have to go through them again sometime soon. It was back in middle school. And I'm old...

    I happen to really like the lore behind Destiny. I don't mean the half-ass shit we get in-game, but the actual story behind the lore in the grimoires. It has surprisingly deep lore.

    That image looks straight up like the Pyramidion from Destiny 2. A large Vex construct.

    When shit hits the fan for me, like this week, I find solace in reading a book while soaking in a tub.

    Favorite Song from Your Favorite Band/Artist

    I've thought about this for a while. And it's still a struggle. (The band will surprise no one, the song may though.)
