Black Cats and Goblins on Halloween Night!

Greetings, Boys and Ghouls!

     Optiluiz here on this most frightening Friday night to present our celebration of All Hallow's Eve! Here in Brazil, in spite of the inappropriate weather and lack of general knowledge regarding the holiday, there are still some great people ready to get in the Halloween spirit, and I'm one of them! Because of this, tonight I have a Halloween party to attend to and I'm psyched! I'll be going as Jason, as I've mentioned before, and afterwards there will be general seasonal goodness at my house. Now, onto the news...

     Today also marks the publication of my Halloween tale "An Innocent Rite", which is now hosted on Saturday Night Reader alongside my other stories! I recommend that you click on the link and check them out for a great, spooky time. Also, our last Halloween movie review was posted a few days ago, and I think you should check that out if you feel like discovering more about the origins of my chainsaw obsession. Now, here's my very own Orange Jack' O' Lantern (With a Jason-faced lollipop inside as well!). 

     This past month has been really great for me, and I think this weekend will be a perfect ending to an awesome, creepy October. Actually, now that I think of it, it sounds like the setup to a horror film; my parents are out of town, there'll be a costume party and it's Halloween. Well, I haven't heard about any recent serial killers surrounding the neighborhood, so I think I'll be fine. Oh, I'll be sure to post some pictures here as well after the party, so stay tuned!

     I don't think there's anything else left to say other than that I've finished Night Shift (which still makes me wonder why I waited so long to read Stephen King's short stories), and I still haven't finished Fear Itself, but I'm trying! Also, I've recently played Slender: The Arrival, and I love it due to it being basically Blair Witch Project: the Game. But I guess I'll leave you to your spooky festivities now, as I have my own seasonal matters to attend to. I wish you all a happy Halloween, and I'll leave you with another Trick'r'Treat related video.

Chainsaw Cheers,

Optiluiz out.

(This is Halloween!)

PS: Yes, I know there is an actual Trilogy of Blair Witch games, but they don't resemble the movies as much as Slender.

PPS: The Orange' O' Lantern actually smells great and looks awesome in the dark when lit!

Found Footage Abuse and Samhain!

Greetings, boys and ghouls!

     Optiluiz here once more, later than ever! I don't think we've ever updated the blog on a Sunday, but I figured, as usual, that it's better late than never. I was about to post yesterday, but technical difficulties (or evil October Gremlins, if you prefer) prevented this. In any case, here's our first shaded comic! I hope you like it! And yeah, I guess you could consider this last week's trick'r'treater's revenge. Now, to the news!

     My new Halloween story has been done for a while now, and I hope it finds a home before the 31st. It's hard to just sit around waiting for answers after submitting these tales, but I guess patience is a virtue for a reason. Also, I've got a Halloween costume party to go to at the end of the month, ain't that neat? I'm thinking of going as Jason again, as I still haven't found a Leatherface mask after all these years. Maybe one day... Well, here's a doodle inspired by my new short story (yay, it's also shaded!)

     Didya like it? Of course you did! The weather is suddenly collaborating with me again and making life easier and less hellish, and that really affects my writing and drawing. If only it would be cold and rainy forever... And that reminds me, I've been watching quite a few Halloween-related films, and for this week's review, we're going to tackle either Satan's Little Helper or this year's Wolfcop! You can comment which one you prefer below, readers!

     I think that's all for now, I've got some videogames to play and events to plan. I've learned how to make Jack'o'Lanterns out of oranges (since large Autumn pumpkins aren't very popular in Brazil) so I might also try to make some later. I'll leave you with an animated short by the director of my favourite horror anthology film, Trick'r'Treat! Have a great week, and be sure to come back for our review in a few days!



Chainsaw cheers,

Optiluiz out.
