Carrie & Matilda
As Matilda Wormwood does some research through the Chamberlain Archives, wanting to know more about the history leading to the events of the Black Prom, Carrie White’s ghost looms over the young girl, waiting for the right moment to strike.
I had been meaning to do something like this for a while since I got into painting this for a while. A picture for a potential movie poster or graphic novel of a crossover a lot of us want but can’t due to copyright: Carrie White and Matilda Wormwood.
I like to imagine the story taking place some time after the events of Matilda (the 1996 film version) in which Matilda begins to have visions of the old town of Chamberlain, Maine raided by ghosts, led by a very sad girl in red. Somehow she visits Chamberlain to investigate, asks the surviving townsfolk about what they recall what happened and why before finding a volume of the town’s archives. Later on, she confronts Carrie’s ghost, sympathizing as well as empathizing with the teenage ghost before somehow helping her realize the error of her ways and finding peace. In other words, my own take on the Laika stop-motion film ParaNorman.
Carrie belongs to Stephen King
Matilda belongs to Roald Dahl

Destin belongs to me
th gremlins belongs to Roald Dahl/Disney
The witching hour, somebody had once whispered to her, was a special moment in the middle of the night when every child and every grown-up was in a deep deep sleep, and all the dark things came out from hiding and had the world all to themselves.

yes, they're otters of characters played by the same actor. The first one is Henry Sugar from the short film "The Wonderful Story Of Henry Sugar" on Netflix. Do check it out it's really cool
Quentin Tarantino upon hearing this awesome movie idea.
I couldn't resist rebloging this after hearing this idea.
have you yet had the cognitive dissonance that comes with learning that Jon Pertwee was an actual spy in WWII or have you not yet had that pleasure
i HAVE and it's so funny - imagine being a real life British spy and, posthumously, your most recognized achievement is playing a gay science magician on children's television
it's what he would have wanted

Happy Roald Dahl Day, everyone!
Here’s a selection of some of our favorite stories about the man behind Matilda, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The BFG and all the other books that traumatized us so delightfully as kids (Vermicious Knids, eeeeeggghhh).

And lest we forget – Dahl’s memoirs and fiction for adults are great too. Just don’t give Someone Like You to a kid.
Wicked And Delicious: Devouring Roald Dahl

Decided to join that part of the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory fandom that knows about the scrapped characters and adds them to the canon/final version of the story
My vision of Miranda Piker and Marvin Prune
Brazen spoiled kids got what they deserved and are returning home.To be honest, I only wanted to draw Veruca in slop, but seeing how the fandom often draws her in scratches, burns and stitches, I decided to follow their example (yes, she is only covered in severe scratches and bruises. It still seems to me that she is more fortunate, unlike Violet and Mike)
