🎃 Creepshow Animated Special ★/★★

🎃 The Final Wish ★
How do films like this get a theatrical release WITH advertising and others, like Candy Corn or Blood Fest, get nothing.

SUFFER
Collected Works by Michael Dunn
Whether the setting is a desolate apartment building, a porno set or an everyday high school, it’s still a world from the imagination of Michael Dunn. His characters, often struggling to survive even an ordinary life, are thrust into unusually grim situations which test their ability to adapt.
HAIKUINGLY,
Haikus by Smith & db
On July 17, 2009, Smith ended his email to db with a haiku. A week later, Smith’s valediction ended with “-ing-ly,” beginning a tradition between the two friends that lasted three years. Collected here, for better or worse, are the haikus and valedictions that closed each email. Sometimes vulgar, sometimes witty. Sometimes alcohol-fueled.

Three Volumes of Collected Works
by Michael Dunn
Why should only the music world have singles? Three volumes, grouped by subject matter, pulling the best from SUFFER with b-side bonus material.
