I'm an on call mortician. I spend a lot of time walking around funeral homes at night in the dark. I heard shit moving around and weird crashing noises all the time. I fuckin ignore that shit. Oh, what? The demon wants attention again, so I have to take my earbuds out? Nah. Not tonight Satan. I'm really into this audio book.

You should put the audio books on speaker, those poor souls are just fucking bored until they can finally rest.

Sometimes I put Bob's Burgers on the TV for them

When the abyss stares back at you, maintain flirty eye contact

Bonus points if the abyss has tentacles.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

Tentacles are assumed, nobody flirts with an abyss without tentacles. Ovipositors for the kinkier types.

Get yourself an Aztec death whistle and just blow as hard as you can all of the sudden. They'll go away.

Just go a step further and build yourself an apprehension engine

I love homemade electronic instruments!

Thanks for sharing this one. It has inspired me to put a pickup on an old saw I have been wondering what to do with.

...ye gads, that's reminiscent of some ~~godspeed you! black emperor~~...

Ok, that is fucking cool!

This looks like a picture from those "scary stories to tell in the dark" kids books.

PSA: They re-released this with less scary pictures. Definitely try to get the original

Immediately thought of Harold but it's not Harold. I don't know if it's just another creepy guy in a chair from the same artist, or if this is an AI generated imitation. I know it's not from the current printing; the art has been completely changed and isn't even remotely creepy.

I'm pretty sure it's somebody intentionally copying his style

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

actually what you should probably do is make sure your co/co2/other poisonous gas detectors are working.

One of the places I lived for awhile there was a meth head who lived somewhere nearby. He would always moan and scream outside my window while crawling around in the alley by there.

So I did my best death-metal-screatch back at him and I never saw him again.

And all the neighbors clapped.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

No, they got mad at me too. it was like 3:00AM when that happened

I once heard sex noises through the wall.

So I cranked up the volume and played the samples from Sinistar.

I HUNGER. RUN COWARD.

I had to laugh at this way harder than is probably healthy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Agreed. This was pretty unexpected.

And in the middle apartment: Me, trying to sleep while these idiots are howling at each other. 😩
