Science Fiction Stories vol. 8, no. 3 (November 1957)

Oh how we love an Evil Plant here at SFMCP Inc.

I mean we don't know that it's a plant, there could be an octopus creature at the other end of the tendril-tentacle, but it's green and plant-like.

Weird Tales vol. 18, no. 2 (September 1931)

Of all the weird stuff in this one, I'm most obsessed by the creature being ridden. A giant tapir? An elongated capybara? A land-plesiosaur?

Time for another Writing the Occult: Time & Place session debrief, and this time it's all that Steve Toase has planned for us on 5 September...

Steve's a fan of the biker books of 1970s pulp fiction - in fact, he often covers them on his own blog - but what can we as creators learn from them underneath all the pulp-ness?

Weird Tales vol. 9, no. 3 (March 1927)

What a bizarre composition, wasting so much space at the top. I honestly don't know what's going on at the top, just … white and blue stuff. Is there maybe an overturned table at the bottom? It's a unique magazine for sure.

Creepy no. 10 (1966)

Simply terrific composition, you can't fault Frazetta for laying out a scene, and the lighting and colours are all great too.

I would love a huge version of this on my wall.

Did the robot just emerge from that … landing pod? … and immediately snatch up that poor woman? I don't know about the timeline here.

ED EARL REPP just has to be an anagram, right? The author's name is "Lee Draper"? Yes I have an anagram tool constantly in my bookmarks.

Wow, no idea what's going on, why "toffee", why is there a police officer in underwear, and frankly, how is that dress even staying on?

Hugh Rankin, the artist, had seemingly forgotten all he knew about human anatomy the day he drew this. I'm concerned the guillotine won't even work the first time!

"Jungle Boogie" is a #funk record by #KoolAndTheGang from their 1973 album #WildAndPeaceful. It reached number four as a single, and became very popular in nightclubs. Billboard ranked it as the #number12SingleFor1974, despite as many as 36 No. 1 singles that year. In 1994, "Jungle Boogie" was repopularized on #theSoundtrack of the film #PulpFiction. It was also used in promo packages by wrestling promotion #ExtremeChampionshipWrestling in the mid-1990s. In 1992.

Worlds of IF (August 1956)

No action, nothing which indicates scale, the whole thing is a little static and dull. Also not a satellite? I like the two little armatures or whatever you call them, the break up the image nicely.

Creepy no. 101 (1978)

It's hard to put a finger on it exactly but this guy has a very 70s look, doesn't he? His jawline is a 70s jawline.

I had to look up when the original "Jaws" movie came out, it was 1975. We've all been obsessed by sharks ever since.

Fantastic Adventures vol. 3, no. 4 (June 1941)

I'm fascinated by this one, particularly how she's so etiolated and pale. And how the gryphon has a kind of "I'm too old for this shit" look on its face. Beak.

The alien seems more worried about us than threatening. This was after “Close Encounters” but before “E.T.”.

Worlds of IF (April 1968)

I can't tell if this is in the sea or not, those plants look like seaweed. This style reeks of the late 60s, early 70s. I can almost smell the felt pens it was drawn with.

Weird Tales vol. 25, no. 6 (June 1935)

Oh they thought they were being edgy in 1935 at the idea there were monsters in the movie industry?

In 2026 you're going to have to be more specific.

Do people still respond to Lemurian Emergencies? Or has that skill been lost? From "Weird Tales", January 1942.
