“The Lacquer Mummy” – Creepypasta Reading

With Fear Awareness Month over halfway done, I figured there was no time to waste in uploading another creepypasta reading! This time, a piece I found many moons ago on /x/ called “The Lacquer Mummy,” attributed to one “HFPS”. Turn down the lights, turn up the volume, and enjoy!

Long-form “illustration”: Me

Music: “Aokigahara Forest” by IO Echo, from the Ghost in the Shell soundtrack. Will reupload a capella if that gets DMCA’d.

VLOGGIN’ IN #5 – “Gemini Man” (2019)

Decided to *double down* on a Thursday night and see Gemini Man in all its 3D, high-frame-rate, uh… glory? tl;dw: If you can find somewhere to watch it like a normal movie, it’s a generic but fun scifi-action romp.

All non-me media from Google Image Search or Adobe Premiere Elements/Movavi Video Editor. Trying something a little different this time to find my “voice” for content creating. I tend to overthink a purely written script, but I also tend to ramble when it comes to ad-libbing. Hopefully this can be a step towards striking a unique balance!

Also, everybody hates cilantro.

The Top 7 Micro-Creepypastas #5

With Halloween drawing near, I thought it time to return to a favorite pastime and record a new batch of seven fave short creepypastas culled from the dark corners of the web. Turn down the lights, turn up the volume, and enjoy!

(1) “An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away” [00:14]

(2) “Explaining Away” [02:10]

(3) “Sky Scrapers” [03:23]

(4) “The Dark Corners” [04:54]

(5) “They Watch” [07:02]

(6) “DIY” [8:48]

(7) “Perfect” [10:52]

Text of all stories can be found at http://scparchive.wikidot.com/archive. No clue on any of the authors, but credit where it’s due in general!

All illustrations by me except the Home Insurance Building picture. See more of my (less eerie) photography on my Instagram @TNW24 !

VLOGGIN’ IN: “Joker” (2019)

Survived a “preview” screening of Joker on Thursday night, so I had to do my duty as a gamer and rise up with a front-seat review!

tl;dw: You’ve seen it all before, but never quite like this in a comic book flick–maybe not worth rushing out, but certainly worth checking out.

All non-me media from Google Image Search or Movavi Video Editor. Bad audiovisual quality this time can be blamed on Movavi being the poorer man’s Premiere than ever before; the exporter wouldn’t work so I had to screencap the laggy preview in OBS. Going to switch back to Team Adobe soon, promise.

Also, where are all those rioters getting their clown masks? It’s the ’80s, so it should be easy for the cops to just question whoever’s stopping by the pharmacy to grab one. Iunno.

VLOGGIN’ IN: “Rambo: Last Blood” (2019)

“Vloggin’ In” continues with a belated take on my week-ago viewing of “Rambo: Last Blood”! (technical difficulties were had). tl;dw: It ain’t much, but you can do a lot worse as far as bloody old-man action flicks go.

All non-me video and audio from Google Image Search or Movavi Video Editor. May need to flip the poster to throw copyright bots off the scent.

Also, there was one part where Rambo literally just drives through a waist-high border fence without incident, so maybe *that* was a little iffy.

Boats – Now in Video Form!

Gonna start making some of my poems into videos too from here on out, for that sweet, theoretical YouTube cred! Inaugurating this trend is my latest piece, “Boats,” which I’ve decided to unofficially subtitle “A Weirdly Motivational Poem.” Enjoy!

Sci-Fi Narration: ”A Brief Version of Time,” by Alan Lightman (1993)

Changing things up with a short sci-fi-style reading: “A Brief Version of Time” by Alan Lightman – physicist, author, and apparently underrated renaissance man – originally published in the February 8, 1993 edition of the New York Times.

This “article” about the philosophical what-ifs of immortality really captivated my imagination when we studied it back in high school AP English, and I hope you enjoy it too! (even if it is a bit bleak)

“Bernhard’s Door” – Creepypasta Reading

Ever have this dream?

Back in the spooky saddle with a reading of “Bernhard’s Door,” a story(?) I found in image form on 4chan or something years ago. I have no idea of author or the origins of it.

Music credit: “Lullaby” feat. Dot Allison by Christian Henson, from the soundtrack to the delightfully mind-bending scifi-horror film “Triangle.” Will just reupload without it if that gets copyright flagged, but I love how it kinda synced up!

“Illustration” by me. See more on my Instagram @ TNW24!

VLOGGIN’ IN: “Justice League” Spoiler-Free Thoughts + Review

So, for a long time, I’ve been wanting to try vlogging, or at least talking about pop culture I’ve recently digested in front of a camera.  And at last, I found the ideal opportunity, or at least one that lined up with me finally getting around to buying Adobe Premiere! (Elements, but still)

Thus, I decided to serve my very first movie review/thoughts video with a slice of low-hanging fruit: this holiday season’s Justice League, directed by Zack Snyder and/or Joss Whedon.  Enjoy!
