Some killer videos that have come across my attention as of late. First up, big thanks to the High Priest of H. P. Lovecraft, Toren Atkinson. He linked to the long awaited video from The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets. “20 Minutes of Oxygen” is off of their great album Spaceship Zero. It’s unnatural how …

Jill Thompson is amazing. There’s no denying that her career as a cartoonist has produced some of the most fantastic spooky artwork out there. There’s both a playfulness in her line work and a genuine sense of creepy in her colors, making her a great example of how spooky and weird can be fun. I …
