a self absorbed dick who is a bad husband and a worse father keeps getting pissed off at his kid for being scared of a monster in the closet. oof, thia self absorbed dick who is a bad husband and a worse father keeps getting pissed off at his kid for being scared of a monster in the closet. oof, this was really disappointing. i LOVE something is killing the children so i had high expectations for this but it was just a bummer? it truly was just this dude bitching about everything in his life while his kid is being tormented by a monster that may or may not exist. nothing about this was fun or even, really, spooky at all. the art was pretty which is the only reason I'm giving this 2/5....more
