Tom the postgirl Review: It Feels Like Someone's Watching Me, And I Have No Privacy

 By Jonathan Bilski

Dear Tom,

Why are you such a little freak? You delivered my package crazily knocking on my door way too much. Not getting the hint to leave when I slammed it in your face you stuck around. Then, you peeked through every window, vent, blind, keyhole and crack in the wall-note to self, get that patched- to my dismay. You're nothing more than a peeping-Tom, guuurrlll! You best check yourself, before you deliver a package to my abode again. And, the neighbors seems to agree with me.

Love, 
Man who wears furry costume in private and looks at jars of things, we made eye contact.

Oh Europe, what have you given us now? A point-n-click adventure of an annoying little brat-that's you-who is looking at every-bodies secrets while delivering mail. Put this in a bundle with Thank Goodness You're Here!, except you're trying to help people in that one. Thank Goodness is a lot more polished than this one, but the charm of this is trying to figure out what is going on. In Postgirl, your just helping yourself to stalk everyone. You play as Tom a mischievous little lady who likes two things: delivering mail, stealing and spying on people... you like three things. It's kind of hazy, because the game gets weird real fast.


What might start off as a kind of cozy but weird adventure of delivering packages becomes a much
stranger and more adult themed adventure. Yeah, this is not for kids with the nudity and some adult humor, which I totally loved. If your older and a have a few hours, the games not that long, then you're in for a silly adventure to click away at and write scribbly on.

It looks like a children's book, but no kid should every read it. Not with what's going on at the farm or really anywhere. Before and after you deliver mail you can peer into people's homes and see what they're up to. That's the real fun of the game, spying on people, seeing how weird they are. That and being a jerk as you may have a penchant for a five-finger discount, but a lot of that is a decision you want to make to complete side quests. You can be a goody two-shows, but that might not be as fun an adventure. And, you're already a bit of a perv spying on everyone.

I don't want to go into detail, because the real fun of the game is discovery or perving out? Spying might be a better way to say it. Yeah, spying on people. 

Be the pervert you've always wanted to be and spy on your neighbors with no repercussions like you would in real life.

Hercules vs Vampires
Oct 30 - 31, 2026
The United Theater on Broadway

This Halloween, LA Opera joins forces with the United Theater on Broadway for an only-in-LA collision of opera, orchestra, cult cinema and unabashed camp.

Hercules vs. Vampires is a musical reimagining of Mario Bava's 1961 sword-and-sandal cult classic Hercules in the Haunted World, starring former Mr. Universe Reg Park—an early mentor to Arnold Schwarzenegger—alongside the legendary Christopher Lee (Lord of the Rings, Dracula,   Star Wars).

Patrick Morganelli's original score adds live singers and orchestra to Mario Bava's gloriously lurid fantasy, making an already over-the-top movie even more over the top. It's high art meets high camp, with equal parts beef and cheese.

Brain Dead Studios
$14.50

Brain Dead Studios presents O.V.A. Night, a surprise screening of obscure anime rarely seen on the big screen.

O.V.A. (Original Video Animation) emerged in Japan during the home video boom of the 1980s. Released directly to home video, OVAs gave animators the freedom to work outside the usual restrictions of television and theatrical releases, opening the door to stranger stories, bigger ideas, and imagery that could never have made it onto TV. The result was some of the most ambitious, violent, experimental, and downright bizarre anime of the era.

After a heated confrontation, Mark heads next door to bring his family home only to uncover the Kringles’ true intentions: to hypnotize and indoctrinate them.

Solid list from BD on horror movies to watch for Halloween.
 

These murals for Hershey's new chocolate are somewhat baffling as people unsure if their A.I. made or a joke making fun of A.I. or just poorly done. Whatever it is, it doesn't make it look appetizing. 

Shudder has two new horror movies in time for Halloween. The Cycle, is an instant new classic. It also seems like it should air on USA Network if it still did original movies. And, not just because Jeffrey Donovan, star of Burn Notice is in it. I highly recommend going in blind, possibly passing even on the trailer. The less you know going in the better, but it does start off as a police procedural.

Shudder sadly tricked me and many others with a nice poster for Hallowarrior that might be too depressing to watch after a few minutes. Sigh...I did and can't say it's worth your time. Some great concepts and even some fun visuals, but you can see how it's the director's first major film.

"Desperate for companionship on a post apocalyptic Halloween night, the Last Girl on Earth gets more than she bargained for."

 

It mashes too well together.

There are so many in-jokes from Horrorthon Mystery Game that you could buy at the 21st Annual Areo Horrothon this year. Hope they sell more!
