Today’s Halloween season TV series is Special Unit 2. The show follows a special police unit that deals with paranormal creatures.

For today’s Halloween season TTRPG is Tiny Cthulhu. It’s a Tiny d6 game.

Whew. Just got back from the Podiatrist. He said the foot looked good (I had no idea they broke two toes for the surgery as well) . He wants me in the book another week, then transition into a special shoe after that I can drive with for about 3 weeks. I hate not being able to travel on my own.

Tonight’s Halloween season movie is How to kill monsters. A British horror/comedy. The type with lots of blood and gore. The movie has a couple of great ideas, but as a whole, it is a so so movie. I think it is worth watching it once for a couple of clever things, but don’t pay too much to do it. It is available on Tubi and a couple of other free sites.

TV shows for the week of Halloween. Poltergeist The Legacy. Despite the name, it has nothing to do with the movies. The show was about a secret group that had chapter houses all around the world that dealt with supernatural threats. This show follows the San Francisco chapter house. I thought this show would have made a pretty good TTRPG and you could put chapter houses anywhere you wanted to run a game.

My order from @Waynes_Books arrived today.

Continuing with Halloween Season TTRPGs this week. If you want some military operators taking on occult dangers, I have two. Blacklight using the Shadowdark ruleset, and Task Force Raven using the Savage Worlds rules.

Tonight’s Halloween season movie is Strange Harvest. A Mocumentary that does a good job to feeling like a true crime documentary you see on Netflix or HBO. This one follows the case of a serial killer called Mr. shiny, and there might be some cosmic horror attached to the case.

For Halloween season TV shows a good comedy Horror series (more comedy) is Stan against Evil. The Werepony episode cracks me up every time. There are three seasons

If you play 5E but want some Lovecraftian horror in your game, @SandyofCthulhu did a book for that.

I had a little time before bed, so decided to watch some classic Twilight Zone. The monsters are due in Maple street. It’s a classic.

Tonight’s Halloween season movie. Feast, the unrated cut. A group of people are trapped in a bar when unknown monsters attack. @JollyPuppe20868 let me know there were two other sequels a couple of years ago. The original is the good one.

Woo Hoo! The Delta Kings from @wargate actually arrived today. A signed copy.

Since we are into the week of Halloween I will show a couple of TV shows. Kolchak: the night stalker is a classic. I remember watching it when it was first on TV with my dad.

Other anthology series I liked in the 80s was the In Hell series, starting with Heroes in Hell. I always thought it would make a great TTRPG as well. Was thinking of doing a home brew Savage Worlds game someday.

I just got an email that my copy is arriving soon. Based on the Forgotten Ruin world.

Todays Halloween TTRP is a Horror scifi game called Mothership. If you like Alien or Event Horizon, this is the game for you. It is a simple character creation and the game has an official app to make characters and space ships.

Tonight’s Halloween Season movie is Pontypool, a Canadian movie. The movie takes place in a local radio station when violence breaks out in town. Unlike other “zombie” movies, it’s not a virus that starts it, it is language.

Another 80s series is an anthology series by Pournelle, the first one called There will be war. The anthology had both short stories and non fiction articles.
