I once had the opposite. Working at Kinkos & an older guy was copying pics of a child (real creepy shit). He made me guess who the kid grew up to be. I eventually recognized it was Kim Cattrall & said “she was in Big Trouble in Little China”. He frowned & said “no, she’s on Sex in the City”

I think everybody has a “Wallace Shawn from Young Sheldon” — my first one would probably be “Vincent Price, the guy who did the voice of Ratigan in The Great Mouse Detective”

Last week, my doctor informed me that I have diabetes and need to watch my cholesterol. Suddenly, all of these junk food ads that I used to take for granted during football games feel so sinister! Like Satan himself is tempting me!

Saw this really cool collection of leaves on a walk.

A colorful collection of fallen leaves. Surprisingly smaller than you'd expect.

I certainly can’t excuse it.

My favorite piece of Tenebrae trivia (of many, including the fact that the dream woman was a trans actress) is that Argento claims that it takes place in the future after a devastating pandemic.

I just now realized I forgot to change all of my social media avatars to the scary lady from Black Sabbath for October, breaking a decade-plus tradition. This is probably a bad omen.

Construction signage indicating detours in two different directions and a no turn sign contradicting them.

Tattoo idea!

A '30s magazine called Film Fun with a blond pin-up lady (she kinda looks like Mae West) riding a polar bear, expect the bear is walking upright and he looks annoyed.

Gonna do horror trivia but the screen saver is mostly newer movies so I'm pretty sure I'm gonna suck.

In the Mouth of Madness 4K UHD Review

A group of independent, maverick horror directors rose to prominence during the late ‘60/early ‘70s. We’ve since dubbed them the Masters of Horror (there was a TV show and everything). As distribution...

The day Pence was nominated as Trump's running mate we named our bar trivia team Mike Pence None the Richer. The host had to come over later and verify which of the multiple teams named Mike Pence None the Richer we were.

Do you consider Sixpence None the Richer a one-hit wonder?

Genuinely thought this was on purpose and meant to be one of those Tales from the Crypt puns.

It's wild to me that people are pretending that it's weird and foreign for someone to refer to their parent's cousin as an aunt or uncle. I'm as blandly white American as anyone and since childhood I always referred to both my mom's cousin and her mother as my aunts.

Man, I've ALWAYS referred to my mom's cousin as my aunt and understood that she was my mom's cousin the whole time.

The funny thing about white supremacy is that it isn't only morally wrong, it's also very stupid. Like, real 'drowning in the rain because you looked up too long' type stupid.

It rules so hard that at this exact moment in history the American box office is being ruled by anime series feature spin-offs.

I saw it in theaters as an adult and my adult friend came outta the theater shadow boxing and doing high kicks because she was so pumped.

I thought the same until I visited family in Duluth and learned the local tourist economy basically runs on stories of the Fitzgerald wreck. They’re having a huge 50th anniversary event in a couple of weeks! 2000 people expected!
