And more Coraline:

Not that I'm a total Gaimen booster, but here's a little advert about Coraline, which includes (among the producers saying nice things about each other), a few clips of the film.

Hmmmm. It looks interesting, though Coraline seems a lot less gothy than I remember imagining her from the book. Ah well, I'll be seeing it in the theater anyway.

Modern Ruins

There’s something about abandoned places that trigger my imagination- I feel I have to use them in something, create a story or scenario around them. It’s like the vacancy left by departed people demands to be filled by something artistic.

The ruins described in this website are particularly evocative, in a very, very eerie kind of way. They make demands to me to be used in a game, especially the girls orphanage - it's positively Silent Hill. It's crying out to be the setting of a good horror film- or RPG.

My immediate impulse is to print pictures to use as props- particularily that long-distance picture of it out on the point, and the picture of it looming out of the fog, and use them as props in a World of Darkness or Call of Cthulhu game. I think the players would immediately know what sort of game they would be getting into.
