quick 2am c!dream concept let’s go i had to get this idea out of my head:
the mask is made out of end stone which is basically just another flex since the end is off limits for everyone else
prolly got a single piece of end stone from XD
he tried to carve out something cool initially but it came out super choppy and he only had one chance at this
oh well that’s unfortunate now he looks super creepy
i can imagine him fucking up the carvings over and over again, and since he only had this one piece of end stone he had to keep at it, so he just continued carving the eyes and the mouth trying to get the face to look right but it just looked more and more uncanny every time he tried to fix it until he decided to stop himself at… well this
Several of the delightful and desiccated specimens featured in the Merrylin Cryptid Museum, an online menagerie fantastique meant to blur the line between reality and unknown.
“You have stumbled upon the Merrylin Cryptid Museum, the life’s work of Crypto-naturalist, Fringe Zoologist and Xeno -Archeologist Thomas Merrylin. This is the online archive of his unique collection of specimens. Creatures and artifacts thought to be nothing more than myth. It is a mystery that challenges our understanding of biology, chemistry and the very laws of physics.”
“It is fantastic and absurd, it is a collection of ideas and stories, creatures that have left their indelible mark in the annals of history, in the tapestries and manuscripts of forgotten lore. It is a story of discovery, of dark secrets hidden within sealed vaults. It is a chance to peer into the void and let the void stare back. It is objects of curiosity brought into the light, which stand before you, asking you to place them in the context of reality. They ask, ‘What if I was real, what if I had lived?’”
Along with mummified werewolves and dragon skeletons, the site gallery also features an Eldritch study bureau, preserved dinosaurs, Necrotic Manuscripts, and a wraith hunting case.
Xylaria polymorpha, commonly known as Dead Man’s Fingers is a type of saprobic fungus that can be found growing in wooded areas. In the 1800s, a large cemetery was closed down due to church-goers believing the fungus was a pair of human hands, attempting to clamber out of a grave.
In the final stop of the very lengthy train cruise painting from The Museum Of Anything Goes, you are encountered with the Guide Orb who appears throughout the game.
One of the stranger parts of The Museum of Anything Goes, a 1995 CD-ROM full of peculiar footage and voice clips. Clicking on the grave results in footage of what appears to be an actual corpse.
Okay so the absolute uncanniness of this video instilled such a terror in me no piece of horror media has ever done before to the point where by the end of it I genuinely thought I might throw up, and the lack of context really made it extra terrifying because in my shock I really couldn’t tell if the footage was real or not (the candid amateur-esque shooting is impeccable)
So I went ahead and dug up some information and this is actually a complication of clips from of a short (like 6 minute) film called The Centrifuge Brain Project that’s actually quite a humourous piece of surreal horror(??? I’m not sure what to call it really) in the form of a mockumentary. I highly recommend it.
As a personal side note I never considered “scientist-engineer with a questionable level of sanity designing horrifyingly dangerous pushing-the-boundaries-of-physics amusement park rides” was gonna end up on my list of Dateable Types but here we are
stop putting this on my dash every time I see it I can’t stop myself from watching it. It unsettles me so deeply but I want more. It’s like when you have a bruise and you’re like *poke* ow *poke* ow *poke* ow
