I made this comic for Halloween, and although itās long past Halloween, it is always Halloween in my heart. Anyway enjoy these little vampires.
Also if youāre in the LA area Iāll be at Comic Arts Los Angeles on the 9th and 10th of December. Come say hi and pick up this comic in print!
as is my tradition, I’ve been saving up spoopy halloween posts and the queue is locked and loaded to post them all day!! enjoy.
#this entire scene is a fucking masterpieceĀ #the building tension in Barbossaās cabinĀ #the strings in the score rising ominouslyĀ #and then the entire movie turns on a /dime/Ā #āoh okayāĀ #I remember thinkingĀ #āfucking GHOST PIRATESāĀ #it drops from historical swashbuckler to fantasy swashbuckler in one set pieceĀ #in which the rules for how the crew work are given to you purely in visualsĀ #and you get to see that sharp difference between horror-horror and fun horrorĀ #because this scene genuinely terrifies ElizabethĀ #and delights /you/Ā #instead of being awful for both of youĀ #god
itās just so neatly done and raises the stakes for the film and puts
everything into context and adds depth to the charactersĀ #and comes as a complete surpriseĀ #this is all the things you want in a set pieceĀ #we should all aspire to storytelling so economicalĀ #(incidentally so should THE SEQUELSĀ #christ)Ā (via wizzard890)
Iāve posted it once and Iāll post it again.Ā
It should be a rule of Halloween that you must honor this man in some way or another.
I think I laughed too hard, everyone in my class is staring at me omg
