Okay so the absolute uncanniness of this video instilled such a terror in me no piece of horror media has ever done before to the point where by the end of it I genuinely thought I might throw up, and the lack of context really made it extra terrifying because in my shock I really couldn’t tell if the footage was real or not (the candid amateur-esque shooting is impeccable)
So I went ahead and dug up some information and this is actually a complication of clips from of a short (like 6 minute) film called The Centrifuge Brain Project that’s actually quite a humourous piece of surreal horror(??? I’m not sure what to call it really) in the form of a mockumentary. I highly recommend it.
As a personal side note I never considered “scientist-engineer with a questionable level of sanity designing horrifyingly dangerous pushing-the-boundaries-of-physics amusement park rides” was gonna end up on my list of Dateable Types but here we are
This clip is deeply unsettling. Can’t wait to watch the video it’s from.
Of all the toys I own, she must be the most highly sought after, because even after years of posting repainted dolls and pictures of shelves full of figures, dolls, statues and other toys, Peppercat is the only thing I regularly have to tell strangers I’m not selling. I’ve got her little projectiles also, but she looks more balanced without them, so I took these photos without before putting them back in for her usual spot on the shelf.
I wish she had some lower body articulation because her speed and flexibility were things I liked about her to the point of buying this toy 20 year ago, but she’s pretty bulky already, so they did okay for what they were going for! Her ‘light up’ eyes work so much like my beloved Princess Gwenevere collection that she’s got an extra nostalgia layer on her.
I probably made my first post (the one that brings people here, I imagine!) about finding her in my things and remembering who she was 10 years ago.
