Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for October 30, 2021

Wait did the woman have a rose gold iPhone?

I thought it was Ishtar.

Bert, we love you but I never want you picking movies.

Love them all snuggling together on their little pinkish couch!

I am trying to figure out which Meat Loaf songs they lived out. Something the other day made me think of Objects in the Rear View Mirror, but I don’t know that it was something in BCN.

Low-grade shipping Natasha and Alice now, in that romance totally does not need to be a thing in BCN canon, and actually I would prefer it not be, but if someone drew some fanart, I’d be cool with it.

4th panel….happy Tails to you….

Best horror movie…I’d say either Boris Karloff’s Original Frankenstein or Bela Luigosis Dracula From the 1930’s.

I hope the girls are watching something not-too-gory-but-fun, like Sean of the Dead or Tucker & Dale vs. Evil …

I’m like Agnes here when it comes to graffic horror films. I often hide behind something when it gets too scary

My vote for Meatloaf songhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C11MzbEcHlw&list=PLIU2bME9Y9VIPt9SSob7d8XZ1QyXFARiw&t=9s

I prefer the old time black and white Lon Chaney Jr. & Bela Lugosi classics like Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolf Man, or Michael Landon in I Was a Teenage Werewolf

Scariest of all for me is the original The Haunting of Hill House and The Birds.

I love the little feet extending out from under the blanket

I love the classics and Hammer/Amicus/American International movies, but Exorcist III may be the only movie that really scares me. Poltergeist didn’t help when I was a kid since my bed was right next to a walk-in closet.

Carnival of Souls

Great arc. For horror on Halloween it is hard to rank the best as there is so much to choose from in the various genres and sub-genres. You have Halloween and it sequels, you have Hitchcock with Psycho and The Birds, anything with Vincent Price or directed by M Night Shyamalan etc.

Then you have the cult classics like Night of the Living Dead and its sequels or the Phantasm series which involves a kid (later a young adult) a guy driving an ice cream truck, a tall guy that is super creepy and a flying sphere that gives people frontal lobotomies.

On top of that, there are the TV series like Dark Shadows (scared me to death as a kid as my older sister made me watch it after school on ABC and then in reruns), Kolchak, X-Files, Supernatural, Stranger Things, American Horror Story, etc….

Whatever everyone watches, enjoy the thrills and have a great Halloween!

I’ve never listened to Meat Loaf but I feel like I should agree nonetheless.

Oh, man! I wanted to write something witty, but – Meat Loaf here, Meat Loaf there, Meat Loaf! Meat Loaf!… – I cannot concentrate when I’m hungry!!

I can’t do horror movies. Life is scary enough.

I love their tails curling up towards each other and the little paws sticking out.

I think we all need t-shirts that say “I Survived the Zombunny Apocalypse!” If there has to be an image of the zombunnies, let it be on the back so I won’t have to look at those red eyes while wearing it!

I see peanut butter cup and a Hershey’s kiss and I guess the round things are sour balls.

Don’t forget the candy corn! A Halloween must! ❤

Also a chocolate bar, a piece of popcorn, and a marshmallow.

Best 3 Horror Movies of all time……1. The Shining 2. The Shining 3. The Shining.

Speaking of the Zombunny Apocalypse, I sat down today and watched a “classic” film from the 70s, Night of the Lepus, about rabbits being injected with a growth hormone and growing to the size of wolves and somehow becoming carnivorous. Of course they attack run wild and attack people. I am here to tell you, rabbits, if they are filmed in slow motion running through miniature sets, with extreme closeups of their haunting eyes, with a suspenseful soundtrack, are going to scare NOBODY.

“Attention! Attention! Ladies and gentlemen, attention! There is a herd of killer rabbits headed this way and we desperately need your help!”

I am squeeeing all the way to the moon, at the adorable 4th panel. Sweetest Robber Mouse picture ever!

What is a meat loaf song?

Warren Zevon: Werewolves of London

I saw the bunnies with a menu in their paws

Hopping through the grass of Rhode Island in the rain

They were looking for the best carrot patches in the land

Gonna get a nice carrot and green salad!

…….

Meow!

Bunnies of Rhode Island

Meow!

Meow!

The cats are all at home napping with their humans

On the Big Red Couch again!

Selling board games and more,

Their business is gonna thrive now.

Doing the Bunnies of Rhode Island

I saw the cats sleeping in a moombeam

Doing the Bunnies of Rhode Island

And this one was perfect!

…….

Meow!

Bunnies of Rhode Island

Great ending and that last panel is adorable!

Best horror/science fiction movie, John Carpenter’s The Thing. Close second, Aliens.

I saw “I Was a Teenage Werewolf” & the scene where the girl gets trapped in the supply closet gave me nightmares for years, because I was 10 yrs old. Fast forward to senior year of high school: a double feature of “Dr. Phibes Rises Again” & some horror house movie. My date & I BOTH got so creeped out, we spent two hours in the next-door all night diner, with all it’s bright lights, coffee & cooking smells, talking people & “normalacy”, before we WALKED home. Both of us decided that maybe horror movies were not our cuppa tea!

“The Exorcist.” That movie kept me up most of the night.

Ooo, whatever happened in the lab that night?

Well, glass was sharp but we got out all right

Saved when the Golden Mouse cosmic light

Came into my life, I thought it was divine

We all hitched a ride with a chick in a skate who’d go

And listen to the music on the radio

A saxophone was blowin’ on a rock n’ roll show

We leaped in the back, whew, left Grimtech behind

Hot patooties bless my soul

I really love when that skate rolls

Hot patooties bless my soul

I really love how that skate rolls

- Richard O’Brien – Hot Patootie (Bless My Soul) – Meat Loaf

Best Meatloaf songs? That’s a short life.

Is their blanket a giant Frito.

Tornier’s CURSE OF THE DEMON. Or BIG TOP PEE WEE. Also pretty horrifying.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

Thomios: Everything is prepared for the Bunny Feast, Your Majesty.

Queen Catshepsut the Golden: Excellent, Thomios! And the decorations?

Thomios: Sophititi and Maat-Tilda are working on them as we speak.

In the Palace Banquet Room

Sophititi: I so enjoyed making this tapestry with found objects. Thank you for weaving this fine fabric.

Maat-Tilda: My pleasure. And I’ve created some bunny ear hat favors as well.

Enter Beatrixia

Bea: What are we celebrating, exactly?

Sophititi: It is known as the Great Escape. What exactly happened is a legend lost to futurity.

Enter Serfig-Aro

Serfig-Aro: The bunnies have arrived. Will everyone don your bunny ear hat and give the Traditional Greeting!

All: I are Bunny!

Nosferatu, the 1922 silent film.

I went to one of those so-called horror shows with my husband one time. I think it was called Halloween [ but not really sure] The movie was totally forgettable but it was fun watching hubby’s reaction.

Slither is one of our favorites but I wouldn’t rank it as the best. Don’t watch after eating.

It looks like the little feet and paws are the sesame seed on a hamburger bun in the last panel.

And Burt, I love you and respect your opinions, but I think I will choose my own movies and music.

O.T. Auroras likely for all of you in the Northern USA, Canada, Europe, etc. I am envying you as I am in Arizona, too far south.

The most horrible movie of all time was “That Lovin’ Feeling”. I was in the military watching at the base theater. Even though it was “R” rated, there wasn’t a minute during the entire film that you didn’t hear the sound of someone going out the noisy exit door. If isolated young soldiers are leaving a movie with pretty women in it, that’s a horrible movie.

What? Oh, “horror”. “Shaun of the Dead”

Next arc-“diabetic mice”

I’m weird about horror experiences. A while back I played a game called “Desolate” which features creepy locations and frequent jumpscares; when I was stalking my way past an abandoned cabin and had a ghostly apparition with glowing eyes appear in front of me, my first reaction was to tell her to “f*** right off”.

.

I deal with scary situations by being the scariest thing in them!

A Bucket of Blood.

Hey everyone, if you do the Jacquie Lawson e-cards, one of her new Halloween cards features Baba Yaga, the chicken-legs house and a couple of kittens. I just sent it out to my card list!

Best/worse horror movie was the original The Thing. All of the other(older) kids were talking about it and going to see it. I was forbidden, so snuck in by myself. I was 9 and never had had a nightmare before that. Afterwards it was years before the nightmares ceased.

Oh no! Not meatloaf again!

Agnes is in full-on scared spitless mode already …

OT – Yeti

Exorcist, original, Halloween, original, and The Thing, the one with Kurt Russell

Original “The Haunting”, based on the story by Shirley Jackson. I’ve read the book, like more often than not, it’s better than the movies.

My selection.

Halloween III: Season of the Witch

Then again, if you see it with the premise that Conal Cochran is the hero of the movie rather than the villain… I mean, most people who get killed in it kinda deserve it.

OT – reposting 5th Annual Alley Cats and Ales

I’m not a horror movie fan, if I were I’d certainly go true old school and the golden era with the Universal Monsters. Only horrors movies I’m likely to watch are Gremlins, Gremlins II: The New Batch, the 1999 The Mummy, The Mummy Returns, and the Abott and Costello Meets _____ movies. And most of those are either a mixture of action and horror or comedy and horror so I don’t find them to truely be horror movies. Only the original Gremlins to me is a horror movie, and even it’s supposed to be a comedy horror (yeah, where’s the comedy?).

Silliest horror movie: Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. Worst movie ever: The Lottery (based on Shirley Jackson novel – creeped me out for years), Most violent scary movie: batteries not included. Only one I will ever watch again is the first one.

I don’t care for gore, which leaves out many horror films. The scariest movies to me are usually thrillers. My vote for the scariest (that I may never watch again…) is:

Skeleton Key

Hellraiser.

Sweet sensitive Agnes hiding under the covers.

The cheesier the better on Svengoolie.

I love me some horror films.

For some reason I’m partial to the Halloween movies, but I can’t quite figure out why…

That is an impossible task. So many opinions on what makes a good horror movie. I like the more atmospheric ones that leave more to your imagination for most of the movie. And poor little Agnes, I’m surprised she’s there at all, but I guess the movie just started!

(Edited Obviously The Exorcist. But do see Carrie, if only to see early supporting roles by some beloved actors, including John Travolta, Amy Irving, William Katt, and of course the fabulous P.J. Soles. An exhaustive list is at https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074285/reference .

I love Burt’s first chiron. I am not, however, qualified to comment on his second one, since while I love Halloween and it’s my favorite holiday, I’m not big on horror movies.
