2020 Under Attack.
Seem to have lost my silliness for this one...taken a Quater Mass vibe. The last 5 days have had over 50,000 new Covid cases A DAY...I feel the country needs to be shut down for a while as this is getting out of control.
Quatermass used to scare me when I was about 10. Your collage certainly has that vibe! Nigel Kneale who wrote it had a particular British sense of the macabre! Quatermass Experiment was the first I think - the one where they keep big blobby aliens in domes in a factory. Quatermass and The Pit was even better - finding Martians on the London Underground! Mind the gap!!
The films were much more slick than the TV productions where the sets wobbled and the dialogue wasa bit stilted - but fun all the same , even in flickering monochrome!
I really like this Hazel. Ominous and very Quatermass like you say. The new lockdown seems to be the only answer at present to turn it around.

Your collage certainly creates a scary scene, not unlike today's scary scene.
