Lio by Mark Tatulli for March 03, 2019

better hurry back to the surface world, Lio

Wanna trade?

So It’s dropped the pretense of the clown persona?

Everything floats down here!

Walked into his parlour, did you?

‘Oh sh!t, poor Yorick,’ said Hamlet in a 21st-century version.

Pennywise the giant bug? Nope, doesn’t quite work.

Let’s hope the bug likes the ball better. More bounce and all.

I thought at first it is a reference to IT

First time I’ve seen Lio’s eyes with that much expression!

Great shadow.

Run for your life, Lio!

So giant spiders DO exist?

I just heard a muffled “uh oh.”

I remember seeing this one when it was new, 12 years ago.

RUN AWAY!

Aw! The spider wants to play!

The first guy lost his ball too..before he lost his head.

The Sewer Has Eyes—that will be a great movie, eclipsing the Pennywise kiddies’ tale in every nasty respect. Since the script is not yet finished, I wonder if Lio survives (typically, there is one Good Kid survivor, but lately some horror movies have gone for a “Kill Them All” twist). Anyway, it’s Dark, and that’s the way I like it, uh-huh, uh-huh!

Sewer whatcha doin kid?
