I love the cutie pie little trick-or-treaters, but the teens always have the most creative costume ideas and are the most grateful for getting candy. Some of the teens who came to my door last night had Hollywood-level sfx makeup, and I told them so.

Favorite scene from “Trick r Treat.” Go.

...who act out the story as she tells it. He said some actors played 13 roles!

I think I need to see this. An actor playing Lord Byron playing a character from Frankenstein. DON'T THREATEN ME WITH A GOOD TIME.

He said that it was told in meta-meta format, with the actors portraying Mary Shelley's friends (me, to myself: @midnightpals.bsky.social ? But no, he meant those other assholes she spent the summer with.)...

Instead of "dog" I keep typing "god" and I don't think that's 100% wrong.

Mine is full. Does anyone have a spare void I can scream into?

17YO is going to see a stage play of "Frankenstein" with his school today and I am so jealous. (Unfortunately, they did not need chaperones.) I told him that I want to hear all the details when he gets home, which in teen-speak will probably be, "Yeah, it was good." 🤚✋💪🦵🦶👂👃🧠🫀🫁

My bf is a senior programmer and he'll be the first to tell you that all those AIs and robots are still programmed by humans. So, I mean, what you're saying is not entirely out of the realm of possibility.

Shout-out to my fellow Gen Xers who actually *don't* know the "Thriller" dance because our moms wouldn't let us watch MTV in general, and that video in particular, when it came out because we were 7.
