A photo of a small bottle of hand sanitizer in a pink rubber holder and an almost matching opened pink Juice Monster Energy can in Pipline punch flavor on a gray shelf. Boxes of coat check tickets are stacked behind them.
A photo taken from a seat in an art deco movie theater. The lights are up. On screen is an advertising image for count gore de de vol presents Return of the living dead. This image has count gore (a man dressed as a classic monsters Dracula style vampire reaching towards the camera) inserted into a real promo image for the film contains skeletal zombies, with two most prominent zombies in punk rock clothing and hair behind a tombstone that has the movie title. In front of the screen the real live Count Gore De Vol is talking and gesturing. (He was probably setting up a joke)
The primary image has an orange background and shows a skull on a base with a chainsaw embedded in the top. There are corn stalks on either side. It reads Fangoria Chainsaw Awards 2026 and on the side it reads I Voted.
A poster for the horror film Hokum. The entire image field is filled with sculpted/carved heads of boy children in with various expressions of terror and fear from frowning to full open mouth screaming with wide eyes and tears. The very center of the poster reads ADAM SCOTT HOKUM A FILM BY DAMIAN McCARTHY ONLY IN THEATERS 5.1 NEON
A stuffed animal of a jack russell terrier. It’s wishbone from the tv show of the same name. He has spots shaped like a paw on one ear and attached to the peeling fake leather collar is a paper tag in a plastic sleep that has a colorful illustration of wishbone and the name/ logo of the show. He’s a bit dirty and well loved
A picture of a grey and black movie theater chair below a poster that says coming next winter
A photo of a printed photo. It depicts the poster as a child . A young girl with brown hair is in bed with her dog. The dog is a fox found with a black head with brown accents, including brown spots above her eyes , with a large portion of her body being white with black spots. The girl is awkwardly in one half of the bed as the dog is taking up the other half. The walls behind them are blank and white except for some spacejam stickers

6 members of the National Guard standing / leaning against the rail at Metro Center Station. They are talking to one another and on their phones. There are relatively few other people around for the size of the station.
A newspaper folded in half lied on a blue bed sheet. The header reads “The End Times Issue No. 1 The Very most of the little we know August 5, Year 12” there is a box for an editors note, and small sections for Events, Births, and trade. (This is a serialized story being told through a monthly newspaper format set in a post apocalyptic scenario by Benjamin Percy, with Stephen King in future issues. Published by Bad Hand Books and printed by the Ortonville Independent in Minnesota. )
A small poster being held in the lap of a person sitting in a movie theater. It shows Jacob Elordi as Frankenstein’s Monster. He has long black hair and pale skin with visible scarring. A large black/brown fur coat covers most of his body but his hand is visible and is missing part of his skin so you can see muscle and blood and bone. Words are across this image that fills the poster. It reads from top to bottom (I’ve added periods to indicate line breaks) “A film by Guillermo Del Toro. Frankenstein. Oscar Isaac. Jacob Elordi. Mia Goth. and. Christoph Waltz. Exclusive 35MM Engagement” everything is in white capital lettering except for the movie title which is stylized as if it was written by hand. There is also the MPAA rating of R and the Netflix logo in the bottom right corner.
An image of a dc subway car wrapped in a printed Gingerbread theme decoration. The outside is brown with white “frosting” on the top and bottom of the car as well as lining the doors. The doors have printed red bows, there are printed button or jelly candies lining the bottom and top and a collection of peppermint hard candies, jelly candies, gummy bears , etc in front of blue and white candy candy canes framing the windows. Underneath the windows in white writing, it reads “the sweetest ride of the holiday season!” With the word ride stylised to look like light blue icing. The train is in an outdoor station so you can see trees and leaf covered grass behind it as the photo was taken from a higher angle on an escalator.
A picture of me, a woman with brown hair and big tan glasses wearing a brown Creepshow t-shirt holding an oversized frame that looks like an instagram post from the Institute of museum and library sciences. The caption reads “ @US_IMLS Museums and libraries are the heart of communities, ensuring that they are informed, healthy, and vibrant! #Museums #Libraries “ i am also holding a little sign that looks like a book that is title IMLS at the National Book Festival.
The electroshock therapy machine from Return to Oz. It is a dark wooden case with a glass front. Inside are various metal pieces and dials and bells and such, but two round measurement pieces are prominent up top (sort of like old speedometers) and a straight piece with a moving metal arrow at the bottom, giving it a vaguely face like appearance
