With Halloween fast approaching, it’s time for False Positive‘s yearly treat for your eyeballs: 31 Days of Halloween! If you’re not familiar, False Positive is a horror webcomic anthology, showcasing short stories of the surreal, fantastic, and macabre. While reading, you might notice that the stories draw inspiration from cult classics, including Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Tales from the Darkside, and The Twilight Zone. In other words, False Positive stories will keep you on your toes– you’ll never be sure exactly how things will shake out. To get a taste for the site and the kind of horrific goodies it offers, I recommend starting at the beginning, with the first story updated on the site: “Concoction.” It’s sure to satisfy your Halloween story cravings.
Every day during the month of October, False Positive uploads a new horror-themed, pop-culture art piece that’s sure to inspire awe, terror, and perhaps outright giddiness. This is the fifth year in a row that False Positive has engaged in its annual celebration of October in all its glory, so if you haven’t seen the pieces from years past, it’s worth digging into the 31 Days of Halloween inventories and taking a look. Seeing False Positive‘s horror-themed art every year is one of my favorite parts of the season, and it always signals the official start of my favorite month, getting me into the Halloween spirit.
To whet your whistle, here are some examples of art pieces from past 31 Days of Halloween:
And here’s a teaser from this year’s:
How do you guys get into the Halloween spirit? Any recommendations for books, stories, or websites that post special content? Let me know! I’d love to geek out with you.
I saw a request above for websites offering special Halloween content so I thought a bit of self-serving promotion would not be judged to harshly. Our online gallery is fully geared this month with all things monstrous and scary. http://www.audiosparksforart.com/gallery
