TIL a new word: eldritch That is the description of the Widow's Bay.
eldritch
adjective: strange or unnatural especially in a way that inspires fear : weird, eerie
And the woman, whose voice had risen to a kind of eldritch singsong, turned with a skip, and was gone.
Widow’s Bay S1E4, Beach Reads is the best so far — didn’t see it coming, though the hints were there. Still trying to pin down the legend. Could it be Wetiko? The Wicker Man influence is clear, but watching it all spiral into a horror party? Unhinged.
‘“Beach Reads” is the best episode of Widow’s Bay so far, partly…it understands that horror sometimes hits us the hardest when it arrives through ordinary sadness.’
When Patricia finally sees what’s really happening, she asks her coworker: “Why did you let me…?” Her coworker did try, but she didn’t listen.

The Chestnut Man
2021 · Kasper Barfoed and Mikkel Serup
At a grisly murder scene sits a figurine made of chestnuts. From this creepy clue, two detectives hunt a killer linked to a politician's missing child.
I'm on Season 1, episode 2. It's going very slowly, but I'm still curious about the chestnuts as a clue in every murder... Hmm.
It is awesome to see one of the SBOYZ singing in the sing language. I snapped the shot of the part where he said “love.”

I just remembered watching this cartoon episode as a kid. Hard to believe it’s almost 90 years old — and the tortoise shares my name. It was fun watching it.
In the 1936 Disney Silly Symphony short Toby Tortoise Returns, released August 22, 1936, Max Hare and Toby Tortoise face off in a boxing ring. Max is faster, but Toby pulls off the win after Max accidentally stuffs him with fireworks. It’s about 7 minutes long and absolutely worth a watch.
I did read the book, with the same name, The Chestnut Man three years ago but I didn’t finish. It was good but I got distracted with other things and forgot about it. I should finish reading the book!
