Ummm….I think you have me confused with someone who disagrees with you.
(And the one million casualties is what the US calculated it would cost the American military in an invasion of the Japanese home islands. The Japanese estimated it would cost 20 million of its own civilian population in defending against such an invasion…a cost they were actively preparing to absorb.)

You are not addressing the death and destruction that an invasion of the Japanese main island would have caused. The estimate is that a million death would have occurred had there been an invasion and most of those deaths would have been Japanese civilians caught in the middle of all the fighting.
After the Hiroshima bomb the Japanese military was not interested in surrendering. After the Nagasaki bomb, they were still not interested in surrendering and it was only the intervention of the Emperor that caused the Japanese Military to lay down their arms. An invasion of the Japanese mainland would have been a blood bath on all sides.
Again, please do not dismiss the millions of people (military and especially civilians) killed either directly or indirectly by the war started by Japan and its allies.

The ongoing conventional bombing of Japan was FAR more destructive (and lethal) than the atomic bombing. People always seem to forget that.
By mid-1945, the US was running out of targets to destroy. Yet the Japanese were showing absolutely zero indication of entering into surrender negotiations. (We were reading their encoded messages. We knew their plans!)
The civilian populations were being trained in the manufacturing and use of homemade weapons to defend the home islands. The Japanese Imperial Army informed the Emperor that it would only require 20 million civilian deaths to repulse an American land invasion, which they felt they could easily absorb and recover from, while the Americans would surely lose their stomach for the war afterwards. (Just as they assumed the Americans would lose their stomachs for war after the attack on Pearl Harbor)
The cities targeted for nuclear weapons were chosen solely because they were ones of only a few cities that had not already been utterly destroyed by conventional bombing, or recognized as having historical/religious significance.
(Yep, that’s right. The US spared some Japanese cities specifically because they had historical or religious importance to the Japanese. I cannot think of another nation in history that has spared an enemy’s cities, in a time of total war, specifically because those cities were precious to the enemy.)

I wish he'd use other entities, original or otherwise. The burnt noodles man's fear factor has long-since died ever since the talking Ben backrooms videos.

I think it only works well in the analogue found film format, in that it looks like some kind of animate glitch in reality, something which shouldn't be able to move but does, and you barely get any good glimpses of the creatures so your mind kind of fills in how unnatural they are. Their weird glitchy movements and appearing to clip through the environment seem more eldritch in that format whereas in a more high-budget production they would look more like bad CG.
As a still image it doesn't work as well because you can just look at its whole body and see it's just a malevolent stick man.

Love it. The colours, the glow, the authority it has to direct my focus and the texture. I’d hang this in my bedroom or dining room, no problem.

Reply to comment by LeeroyM in Samhain 1989 (OC) by LeeroyM
Because one of the comments above said Samhain is in November, and since November comes after October then Halloween woudl be over, so why would he still be wearing a Halloween costume, because we don't "celebrate" Samhain in the US, so he wouldn't have any reason to wear a halloween costume in November. I hope that makes sense now.
