This morning, I was reading a list of dog breeds to see which breeds might be ideal for me, and also because I'm interested in learning where breeds come from:

I also listened to stories about Wendigos the other day and decided to do some research on them and other such folklore:

There was actually a syndrome based around cannibalism in the 1800s named after them, interestingly.

I remember reading that a while back, indeed pretty interesting.

To be honest bears kind of freak me out, I definitely wouldn't want to run into one in the forest or something. Something about just how strong they are and how fucked you are if one decides to attack you.

I still love that Guy Pearce movie Ravenous and its take on the Wendigo. I think it's an underrated movie that not many people have seen.

The one about the Skrulls that Reed Richards turned into cows. Really shows how bad some comics used to be

I think the one where Batman visits Superman at the Fortress of Solitude only for the two of them to meet a bunch of penis-shaped aliens who copulate in front of them before they died is worse/weirder.

On-topic, articles about inhuman murderers are usually a fascinating read, in the 'captivation by horror' sense. Cases like John Wayne Gacy and Jeffrey Dahmer are usually more well-known, so I'll suggest someone comparatively obscure(in the US), who was also a Nazi and liked to do his stuff large-scale:

Heil Honey I'm Home! (September 30, 1990)
Comedy on British satellite channel Galaxy that spoofed American sitcoms of the 1950s and 1960s by featuring caricatures of Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun who live in matrimonial bliss until they become neighbours to a Jewish couple.[6] In unseen episodes the Hitlers plot to murder their Jewish neighbours.
