The Headless Eyes (1971)
"You've tried to alienate yourself but, Mal, I'm here, you -"
"Why? For two years I have been trying to live alone and to be able to accept this. Why are you here?"
"Because you haven't convinced me."
"Of what?"
"That you're incurable."

Horror Movie Review: The Headless Eyes (1971)
Written and directed by Kent Bateman, The Headless Eyes is a puzzling horror film. On the surface, it’s exploitive trash hoping to shock at a time when the shocks were coming thick and fast. However, dig deeper and you’ll find something artsy, pretentious, and weird.

I think it was 2 years ago I asked you to do a drawing with left hand only and your positive reply made me really happy!
I’m really wondering what would happen if you went for a blind drawing

To all the current ghosts:
How does feel being dead?
"Absolutely Horrible! Though I must admit, this was the consequences of my own actions, in its own gruesome way."
"I [REDACTED] hate it! How would you feel being trapped in reflections for eternity?! You get bored pretty quick!...I'm glad Deuce visits me though.."
"Horrible!([REDACTED] HORRIBLE!!) (...it's so awful,). ..I should get used to it, (BUT I HATE IT SO MUCH!)(...how could I get used to this...)."
"Ugh! Don't you get me started! Not only I'm in my merform, I AM STUCK ON THE CEILING! This is pain and suffering.."
"Awful, being split in half Is not what I want to imagine. But if this gives me the opportunity to give Grim a scare every now and then, I'll take it."

JOANNA'S FAMILY NEEDS HELP
A new Greater Gatsby is out today, and even though she's not in this particular episode, now's a great time to talk about Fig and Ford's very own Claudette Knickerbocker, the fabulous Joanna Sotomura, who among other things has elevated quite a few Tin Can and Shipwrecked projects with her wonderful talents.
Joanna is from Hawaii, and her family owns a Christmas store in Maui. The store's employees, all residents of Maui, have been greatly impacted by the horrific wildfires, many losing their homes, and Joanna's family has set up a GoFundMe to help them rebuild their lives from the ashes. You can even keep your donation from being publicly listed if you so choose.
In order to avoid opportunistic scammers, people are understandably being encouraged to send their donations to established, well-known organizations, so more private fundraisers like this one will not be getting the bulk of the attention. But since we know Joanna and that this is not a scam, it is a great way to help in the aftermath of Maui and know exactly where your money is going--into the pockets of these everyday people devastated by a horrible tragedy.
If you're looking to cast a wider net, I'd also highly recommend the Maui Food Bank, the Maui Strong Fund, or the Maui Humane Society if you want to help out some furry friends.
I know times are hard and money is tight. I mean, I'm working two jobs and still barely making my meager ends meet. But at least I have an apartment/home to stress over paying the rent for. A lot of the people of Maui can no longer say the same.
If you haven't already, please help if you can!

SO, this piece was meant to be for Halloween but due to immense burnout I'm sharing it practically a month later lmaooo. I really wanted to play with Terzo as the headless horseman for obvious reasons, but also use it as a chance to experiment with a lineless piece!
It didn't quite go the way I wanted, but I think the end result still looks great in its own ways! Hope you guys enjoy :)

If I had a nickel for every incredibly dramatic and self-involved yet perfectly simpatico married couple (who are also business partners) consisting of a handsome dark-haired guy and an arch, blue-eyed redhead that ever appeared in a webseries that also featured all the Tin Can Bros and the Core Four of Shipwrecked Comedy...I'd only have 10 cents, but it's still weird that it happened twice.

Self Promoting Some Halloween-Themed Fics of Mine
To the Shipwrecked and Tin Can Bros lovers out there, this one's for you:
On Love & Magic (Headless: A Sleepy Hollow Story fic)
Post-finale, Ichabod and Matilda talk about Kat.
The Strength of the Wolf is the Pack (Wayward Guide fic) Post-finale, Paul finally figures out how to get his fangs out, making his werewolf status suddenly all too real for Artemis. Thus, the twins have a long-overdue discussion about what happened in Connor Creek.
The Wayward Guide to Sleepy Hollow (Wayward Guide / Headless crossover)
When a dead social media influencer turns up on a livestream in a hamlet called Sleepy Hollow, NY, the Schue-Horyns decide to investigate. (Post-series for both Wayward Guide and Headless)
