Macabre Monday has me thinking about bugs this morning. How many insects in one place goes from a peaceful nature scene or mild annoyance to an unholy nightmare? 1? 10? 100? Insects are so good in horror! I might have to write a whole piece on it.

Please give some examples from film, photography or a creepy-crawly piece of prose. Lord of the Flies pops into my head but of course this clip from The Amityville Horror has always stuck in my mind.

Another horror (and thrill) for me is that I am launching the next Mary Shelley’s School for Monsters comic tomorrow so I will be sending out the Monster of the Week update Tuesday! Please follow the campaign if you love comics, Mary Shelley and monsters.

Quick shout out to the Macabre Monday crew. Hope to hear some of your favorite bug moments.
