ME: I feel like I've ruined my life
MY MIND: You need to escape into the next valley over and set up a homestead, that'll get us away from our mistakes. A new fresh start. Hunt some elk and cure the jerky for winter
ME: Stuff doesn't work like that now
MY MIND: Cmon let's go build a yurt it'll be great
ME: What about programming
MY MIND: The stars are a computer

Is this the beginning of a sales pitch for some sort of anti-parasitic oil or unguent? Please mark me in your book of sales as "not interested".
I am not interested in a recitation of the perils of ticks, or other blood-sippers and crawly-mites, nor of any miraculous cures available after a series of reasonably-priced installments.
It's Tuesday and we all know what that means! We've failed! We failed to present the birth and horror of another Tuesday! All those clocks we murdered in the town square. All those calendars at the bottom of our lake. Go free from our prisons those damned souls and their wristwatches... they've won. There's nothing more we can do. Our skins are wrinkling. We are collapsing in a hell of undoing: terrible, terrible Tuesday, cruel despot on its fixed throne!

It's important to set goals.
It's Wednesday and we all know what that means! It's time to head down to the Star Chamber downtown to chain more stars together! If there are any stars in the sky that are not yet in constellations, by secret ballot shall we name and bind them, so no star rises above its station, or dares to approach. Every constellation a prison, every star immobile! A sacred responsibility! Search the skies, damn you! Even even one gets through, we'll all burn!
@gravezwave
Right? You're all like "I'm going to sine your pitty on the runny kine!" and they're like "I'm eager to be all nagoy to the ceiling, my gulliver on my rookers on the pillow, glazzies closed, rot open in bliss, slooshying the sluice of lovely sounds."
And the flirtation ends with some awkward silence, confused pursed lips.

I could ramble for quite some time (and already deleted a couple attempts), but the basic deal is:
If you are familiar with tropes, then "bad" examples of art are a possible vector to encounter actual surprises... differences from the norm, novelty, which is also a necessary prerequisite for humor.
@benhamill
I have enjoyed bad movies, bad comics, bad books, bad video games. But my lawyer (and a council of priests) have advised that we never speak of that party that was eaten. Not of the screams, or blood on party balloons. None of it.

Normally, we'd recommend a site inspection, and while they can be a bit expensive, at the end of the day you're the only person who can put a price on the health of your haunted home.
That said: Reverse crawls are more common south of the equator, but not unheard of. So long as the crawling pace seems regular and the surface is tacky to the touch you should be fine.
A slightly sticky haunted wall is like a dog's cold nose: a sign of good health.
Everyone notices when the walls are breathing, but how many are concerned when they stop? How many know what to do? How many press hard against the walls with both hands rhythmically, knocking aside framed photos, to save their haunted home?

This may not mean much to you folks, but I'm over the moon because I've got a portrait of myself from Shintaro Kago.
I've been a fan of his for over 20 years now. Dang.

Top 5 Places To Harvest Your Cousins
1) Peel their husks in an Autumn field and be the first person to greet their vegetable grins as they leave the stalk.
2) Dig them free from the shallow mud behind the pens and baptize them with a garden hose
3) Set up body-sized lightning traps on the barn roof when heavy clouds roll in and capture cousins as they bolt from the heavens
4) See if your aunts or uncles have any kids
5) Rest in the sun 'til your skin tightens, then carefully peel yourself to find the cousin within
