This is proof that I have a dark sense of humor.

The Zombie episode of Kolchak is very dark and creepy and downright horrifying and alarming.

But I would laugh so hard if someone made a music video using clips from it and the song Zombie Jamboree. It would be so wrong, but so hilariously right. I know it's horrible of me, but I can't stop thinking of it and being amused. The idea was giving me the giggles in my mind while I watched the episode.

And if I get the DVDs and can take screengrabs, I probably will make the music video if someone else doesn't do it first.

More plunnies

I have the first draft of the Kolchak/YGO crossover done. I may add some more things and tinker around with it before I put the other chapters up. I'm not sure if I think it needs to be longer or not. On the one hand, maybe, but on the other, I don't want to stretch it thin and I can't really think of much else that's necessary.

Yesterday morning I got to a scene I've been looking forward to ever since I decided what the twist should be. And I was supremely thrilled with the results. Sometimes scenes fall short of what I have in my mind, but this one met all my hopes and exceeded them! I am so anxious to share it. It's about the middle scene of chapter 6. Whatever complaints I may have about some of Moonstone's stories, I do think they're amazing at characterization and they do a fantastic job of portraying Kolchak's reactions to situations that really tried him as the TV show never did. My Kolchak in that scene of my fic is, I think, a lot like Moonstone's. Although I can't know for sure until I have that graphic novel to read all the way through. I've only seen some preview pages and read some summaries of part of it.

Other plunnies include a short oneshot involving the Chicago police force. It's interesting, how in several episodes it seems that deep down, they do believe Kolchak---they're just not going to let it get out. The Zombie episode is a prime example, and there were a few others.

And then either before I fell asleep or while I was asleep (i.e., dreaming) a weird scenario went through my mind of the aftermath of a situation where Kolchak was killed by one of the monsters. (He killed it too.) Tony was called by the police to come to the scene. It was really sad and heartbreaking!

Later on I started thinking and wondering if it should be a fic, probably with a near-death experience. I've been toying with the idea a bit since then. I envisioned the denizens of Hell out to get Kolchak because of how he's always out to stop any evil plans of theirs that he stumbles upon. The residents of Heaven, on the other hand, are trying to protect Kolchak and either get him there or send him back. (I always wished the Darkwing episode Dead Duck would have delved into that angle more. The devil didn't make a good case against Darkwing when he really could have, citing Darkwing's arrogance and vanity and love of fame.) I imagine the devil trying to make a case against Kolchak in the fic, citing how he's bent the law a bit to further his investigations into the weird mysteries. (Which on the one hand I can't say I condone, but on the other hand, no one's letting him get anywhere, so how else is he to do it? It is for the greater good, at least.)

... And ten to one, if I do it, the devil is going to be Mr. Zero.

Of course, by the end Kolchak is sent back, probably scaring poor Tony half out of his mind.
