I would add The Addams Family (1991) and Addams Family Values (1993) to your Funny and Spooky list. I'll also second the The Fog (1981) suggestion.
Only adult one I can think of is Tailchaser's Song by Tad Williams (cats). There's a ton of these for kids, though; here's a few I've read:
- Redwall series by Brian Jacques (forest critters; I found it repetitive after the first few, but ymmv)
- Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH by Robert C. O'Brien (rats)
- Stewart Little by E.B. White (mouse)
- Charlotte's Web by by E.B. White (pig)
Edit: Sorry, I derped on the scifi/fantasy/action aspect of the request; the E.B. White books don't fall into that category.
I wanted to see this thing in motion, so I tried to search up the youtube video, but no dice. Every article on it is just copy-pasted from the original on the Express site, and I can't get the embedded video attached to it to work. I did find an article on NIWA's site about a species of sea pig, which looks similar.
Iirc from my time on kbin, posts are for the "microblog" part, i.e. the part that interacts with mastodon.
100% agree; I was so bummed Riddick was just inferior Pitch Black. The animated one, Dark Fury, was fun, though, iirc.
So, I feel like 2, maybe with 3 in certain high-traffic areas, would be a good idea, for a couple reasons:
- increased visibility for vehicles, particularly in places with a lot of pedestrians, who might not all have their own lights or be too inebriated to use them.
- nighttime socializing outdoors, such as markets, streets with lots of nightlife, plazas, etc. Sure, small personal lights could become incorporated into fashion, but those also need to be powered, and would have to illuminate faces without blinding anyone. Public lighting just seems easier.
- less isolating for night shift workers (if that's a thing in the world you're writing).
Could even have 2 shut off in quieter neighborhoods that have no open businesses during the wee hours.
It sounds like this was the receiving party: letters from Orwell to his publisher (and other papers related to publishing his work, like contracts and internal memos). if Orwell had kept copies for his records, I suspect they would already be properly archived, yes.
This is correspondence and such that's been sitting around in a warehouse for however many years, untouched.

I have the sound of this stuck in my head now, thanks.
Did a quick search, looks like ExeKiller, which isn't out yet. Hope you find something good to play in the meantime!
Sounds like maybe The Viewing episode from Cabinet of Curiosities?
