Oh No! I Kind of Liked Return to Silent Hill
Oh No! I Kind of Liked Return to Silent Hill YouTube video by The Morbid Zoo

While I don't actually think Return to Silent Hill qualifies as a traditionally 'bad' movie, @themorbidzoo.bsky.social hit the nail on the head about how the 2000s were the last cultural moment when people were capable of appreciating B-movies.

Gotchaโ€”letโ€™s dig into that step by step.

1. ๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ป๐—ผ ๐—บ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜๐—ต, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. Youโ€™re not just immobileโ€”youโ€™re immortal, and you feel only anguish.

2025 was the 10th anniversary of my very first article for @bloody-disgusting.com!

So before the year is over I'd like to take a moment to thank @bradmiska.bsky.social @freddyinspace.bsky.social @hauntedmeg.bsky.social @neilbolt.bsky.social and everyone else who helped me become a better writer.

The fawning TIME cover for the "Architects of A.I." showing some of the worst people in the world sitting on a girder above NYC. In this version, Spider-Man has swung by their steel beam and sent them all tumbling in what can best be described as nothing more than an unfortunate accident.

Nice one, Spidey.

I do understand: you want permission. Thereโ€™s a machine in the corner wrapped in human skin that makes things out of shit and blood to look like whatever you want (as long as you donโ€™t look too closely). You gave one to your teacher and they didnโ€™t notice. Your boss told you to use it after they laid off half the team and it was fine. You fed one to your kids and they liked it. You want to know you can use it sometimes without me thinking less of you. You donโ€™t need me to believe itโ€™s useful, you just want me to be polite about it.

But I am a hater, and I will not be polite. The machine is disgusting and we should break it. The people who build it are vapid shit-eating cannibals glorifying ignorance. I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.

Is Del Toro's Frankenstein good enough to warrant waking up early to catch a matinee screening?

The first one is available on some obscure VOD platform from what I remember, but the sequel is a lot harder to find!!

Had to track down a really old copy on DVD to watch it here in Brazil.

Looking Back on the Lovecraftian Thrills of โ€˜The Valdemar Legacyโ€™ and its Sequel H.P. Lovecraft adaptations certainly arenโ€™t rare, but despite a number of relatively faithful and sometimes even terrifying retellings, these movies seldom manage to replicate Lovecraftโ€™s unique style...

Blood Vessels Found in T. rex Bones Rewrite What We Know About Dinosaurs Researchers uncovered blood vessels in Scotty, the largest T. rex fossil. High-powered x-rays revealed mineralized tissues that deepen our understanding of dinosaur biology. Although much of modern pa...

Now that we know dinosaurs had blood, it's only a matter of time until paleontologists find evidence of vampire dinosaurs who feasted on that blood, and of Blade dinosaurs who fought the vampire dinosaurs.
