I remember seeing this when I was in college, and wondering if it was too scary for kids, too. I guess that was the idea?
“I’ll never get over the fact that this aired during weekday cartoons. It’s from 1992. One minute you were watching DuckTales, and the next…

I thought I saw a ghost tonight, but it was just a corpse with a sheet covering it.

Social isolation day 578 #swampwalk
Signs of life slowly turning from green to red, brown and orange. Also, Sisto and Harold, admiring the neighbor’s boneyard halloween decor.
#bogsafari critter counts today was pretty plentiful. Three bluejays, two cardinals, a few earbuzzing skeeters, a half dozen squirrels, a new cow kitty, a couple of wrens, a fair assortment of little peepy birds, and Panda the Jaywalking cat, crossing against the 4 way stop on the corner. I would prefer she stay camped out by the squirrel cam and hunt there over risking a car splat.
Weather is cooling again, mid 60s°F very humid, as it was misting, the rain had just stopped. Walking in the swamp was muddier than usual- my walking stick stabbed down an extra inch or so in the wetter areas.( I try to keep to harder packed ground.)
Took a longer route than usual, and was rewarded with the cow cat, about a third of a mile north, and she looked a lot like another neighborhood kitty from times past, Zorro. Maybe call her Zorrita?
Probably overextended myself today, back is giving me back now. A little heating pad or ice pack might fix that up tonight.

Social distancing day 578.
Post #swampwalk / #bogsafari supplemental
Saw a new cat, I think it may be a descendant of Zorro and Dirty White Cat (as sung by Foreigner). Seems to be the right-ish markings and she makes a lovely loaf.
Zorro was a white cat with a black “mask” and “cape”, DWC was a mostly white with a small collection of black “oil stains” scattered on the back and knees. So I guess a masked and a cow cat? Not shown, I also saw Panda cat today.
I don’t know her name… maybe one I can call her will pop into my head before I see her again?

Prior to yesterday’s buzz cut and beard trim I was starting to feel a bit like Bela Lugosi in Island of Lost Souls (1932)
Post cut and trim, I feel more like a GI Joe with the fuzzy hair and beard, and considerably less shaggy.
Fun Scotto universal monster fact- I was born the approximate time Boris Karloff died. (Year, month, day and hour) [I know island of lost sould is Parsmount, not Universal]
He made it to 81 years old, and left behind a body of work that will maybe be remembered as long as humanity exists. I will be lucky to make it to 81, but the internet being what it is, I, too, will be stored in a memory somewhere for a similar length of time, even if my particular signal won’t shine out so brightly amongst all the other data noise.

Weigela got trimmed and the sap is fluorescing more brightly than the jackolantern fungus is, now that said fungus is self digesting with the help of a few slugs.

Airship, Morvern, Argyll, Scotland,Designed by Roderick James
I would love to live in this, if everything were scaled up in size, comfort and durability for a leviathan like myself. For now, it is just time to focus on a new couch and bed that has optimal support and scale.
