The Deadly Spawn

Moonlit pine needles. A hissing mass oozes from a cracked meteorite, splitting open in the damp soil. Cassette tape abandoned near a gutted dog, a flashlight sweeps the shed where something wet shifts on the ceiling. This is what John Carpenter would toss off before breakfast, if he lived on ramen and gore.
