Where you can go on the ride of your afterlife.
Evil Dead II (or Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn) by Sam Raimi.
A masterpiece of a film.
"Neanderthal" by Frank Frazetta.
Our tour begins before we even enter the Mansion itself in the Magic Kingdom, where you can see some of our guests in their corruptible...mortal...busts.
Pictured here, we have the Dread Family. Uncle Jacob Dread, Bertie Dread, Aunt Florence McGriffin Dread, Wellington and Forsythia Dread, and Cousin Maude (Dread, I'm assuming).
They were a family of six who once inhabited the manor before one day they all met their gruesome fate at each other's hands. Uncle Jacob was poisoned by Bertie for his wealth. Who was then shot dead by Florence as an act of revenge. Who was then smothered by bird seed by Forsythia and Wellington, who were then killed in their sleep with a mallet…by Cousin Maude. Who, as the sole surviving member of the Dread Family, burned to death because she liked to use matches in her hair instead of hairpins (really amazing thinking there Cousin Maude…🙄). And now, the Dread Family is no more and haunt the halls of the esteemed mansion.
"Anything to vary this detestable monotony."

"Dark Kingdom" by Frank Frazetta.
Flesh and Blood (stylized as Flesh+Blood) by Paul Verhoeven.
Verhoeven's first English-language film.
15th century brutality, superstition and politics, Verhoeven style.
This film wasn't a smash hit, probably owing to it being outrageously dirty (and its immensely depressing depiction of 15th century life), but it was critically acclaimed.
Inspired Berserk creator Kentaro Miura.
Le Roi et l'Oiseau (The King and the Mockingbird) by Paul Grimault.
The first animated surrealist film.
An animator's animated film. The King and the Mockingbird was at the forefront of animation as an art. Influenced Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata.
Fun Fact:
Man-Thing, one of my all-time favorite Marvel monsters. Maybe you've heard of him, maybe you haven't. But I doubt you knew just how absurdly powerful this guy is! This guy is way more powerful than you think and here's the reason why:
Believe it or not, Man-Thing can take on Cosmic Entities, he's defeated the Incredible Hulk and even the Juggernaut is afraid of him. In addition to superhuman strength that allowed him to fight the Incredible Hulk to a standstill, his durability is so insane that he couldn't be hurt by the Incredible Hulk or the hell flames of Ghost Rider (and Ghost Rider's hell flames can actually harm Doctor Strange). Man-Thing can fly, he has telepathy, and he can teleport himself and others to any dimension or universe in the Multiverse because he's the guardian of the Nexus of All Realities, which leads to the Multiverse.
But the Man-Thing's primary power is his empathy, which allows him to sense the emotions of others. But the one emotion that Man-Thing cannot tolerate is fear. And because of a deal that was made with the demon Belasco, whatever knows fear burns at the touch of the Man-Thing. And there's no known upper limit, meaning as long as any being (from human to cosmic entity) is afraid of the Man-Thing, they will burn at his touch.
