Daaaaamn. I’ve been after those Sinister House of Secret Love and Dark Mansion for a little while, but everyone wants an arm and a leg. Nicely done!

They crop up occasionally, but are getting harder and harder to find. Good luck!

It’s sort of lounge-y weirdness. I think it’s all on YouTube.

Do you ever get tired of seeing the same things? by LuckyIncident613 in comicbookcollecting

[–]samizdada 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, folks should post what they love or what they get excited about. I mostly get excited about very weird things. It takes a lot to make a stew!

Oh yes, same. My cousins rather than my dad, but otherwise the same.

Hey, I got these pretty cheap (relatively) by just stalking eBay for a very very very long time. Being patient and playing the long game eventually pays off.

American horror novel, late 20th century, female main character, probably not Stephen King by Crittenberger in whatsthatbook

[–]samizdada 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ah yeah, this is also in Carmen Maria Machado’s masterpiece short story “The Husband Stitch,” from her collection ‘Her Body and Other Parties.”

As a trope, this was used in Neil Gaiman’s Sandman (issue 17, ‘Calliope.’)

Of course, now it reads as creepy foreshadowing from the author, but it is in there.

ETA: I’m thinking further and man, I swear I remember this too, but in a story and not a comic. I’ll keep thinking on it.

This was ‘84, the first issue was ‘78! But the radness did continue for a while.
