• Ohhhhh how can I possibly be cranky on a day where I get to type the words Children of the Corn and Cathy's Curse? Two great tastes that don't necessarily taste great together, but also don't...not...taste great together.
• I've no idea what year it was or how old I was, but in my yoot I saw Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things on TV and it legit scared me so badly that I haven't seen it since and even the title alone is enough to give me pause! While plenty of other movies have terrified me over the years, it's the only one to have that specific effect on me. themoreyouknow dot jpg!
• A reader on Cube (1997): "Every time I watch it I try to understand the math and then look up an explanation and still don’t understand it. It’s fun!"
• Cruising as horror! I like it. Maybe it always has been considered such...? I haven't seen it in, like, 20 years at this point and I should really revisit it.
• Oh Curtains, bless your mess. I do love you even above and beyond your exquisite ice skating scene.
