Frankenstein Friday

Frankenstein Friday

My dad (retired FX artist Robert Tharp) wrote a massive article for my horror website, HororFam.com, for Frankenstein Friday! You can read it here: https://horrorfam.com/frankenstein

For the featured image, I made mash-ups of some of the movie monster portrayals he mentioned…

…but I really wanted to do a cartoon-y version of the monster’s I’D “Frankenstein’d” together… so here it is! 😀

Can you recognize the pieces of Frankenstein’s monsters each of mine are made from? Guess in the comments! HAPPY FRANKENSTEIN FRIDAY!!

Class of 2003

Class of 2003

I briefly considered writing a post about how I was the Class of 2003 and my 20th high school reunion would’ve been this year. I figured I’d share the most important things I’ve learned over the past 20 years or what I’ve been up to since I got my high school diploma…

Instead, I rewatched 28 Days Later with my husband. It was a good time. Here’s some fan art I drew of it:

Like this illustration? Watch me draw it!

I also wrote an entire post about 28 Days Later — and how well it holds up 20 YEARS later — over on my horror website. Check it out!

I’m also going to share what each of these quotes means to me… Feel free to tell me in the comments what they mean to you, if you like ’em too! 😀

Fast Faves: Top 5 Anytime Movies!

blurry movie photos with a drawing of Lauren Spear looking very excited with little hearts floating around her head. there's a text overlay that reads "LittleZotz.com Fast Faves: Top 5 ANYtime Movies!"

I don’t know about you, but I have SO MANY “favorite” movies that I have a tendency to categorize and sub-categorize them to give them all proper attention… I have Favorite Werewolf Movies and Favorite Movies to Watch When I’m Angry and Favorite Keanu Reeves Movies and Favorite Cartoon Dramas and Favorite Horror Musicals

These movies are what I’d call my all-time favorite movies. These movies are a jumble of genres and a mix of moods, but I’ll happily watch them ANY time. If you put one of these movies on: I’m down to watch!

They’re each under two hours long (a big bonus for me!) and I LOVE THEM SO MUCH! Check ’em out:
