for a long time there was a website run by locals called justjumpalready.com chronicling the assholes who tried to kill themselves off the SSC which inevitably caused the only way in or out of Bradenton to be shut down for two hours at a pop.

Morbid but as a Florida native whose had to drive to Sarasota before-, I get it.

sure hope no-one throws me off a bridge

For more traditional horror regarding bridges, nearby me is a famous bridge that's supposedly haunted and possesses dogs to throw themselves to their death off it.

(The actual reasoning that everyone already pretty much knows but doesn't drive quite so many horror youtubers to come this far is that it's just a bridge over a very deep ravine that also has a lot of little critters living in it that dogs like to chase.)

That channel's a good one. He covers a wide range of incidents.

And as far as scary bridges go, only one I was fairly tense on was during a road trip with a friend and we were I can't remember where in rural Illinois where we had to go over this wooden bridge that dated back to the New France days. There was signage up stating this historical bridge was still in use and you could drive over it. It was so narrow I probably could've stuck my arm out the window and touch the railing. I was so sure with each creak and groan that it was going to collapse.

Ok, I changed my mind.

I want to say, first of all, this was legit one of the funniest films I’ve ever seen. And I’ve watched it close to four times since I last posted here.

It is absolutely loving insane all the different directions this film goes.

And then, around every corner, in every next scene, is something even more ridiculous.

I’ve never seen anything that manages to skirt between tongue-in-cheek and “this is serious!” so well.

Just LMAO

I don’t say these things to make fun of it… rather, they all work in favor of it. And it just gets better and better and better.

So basically this ended up being true:

I hate bridges, there are some ridiculously tall ones in Vancouver I have to do once in a while and one of the big reasons I hate driving over there.
That one isn't super high at least, but knowing how the infrastructure is in the Midwest I wouldn't want to use it

Yeah, the only thing scary about that video is how poo poo American civil engineering is.

Here's a video of someone driving across the original Forth Road Bridge in 2015, not long before it closed. No sound unfortunately, so you can't hear the regular bumps as your car goes over the connected sections of road surface, but the view's good enough and the video was made in bad weather so this is as bad as it gets. This bridge is five times longer than the Brookport Bridge.

Of course. I’m not gonna say that name if I can help it.

Plus it continues the proud tradition of locals giving directions in terms of what things used to be called, which is delightfully confusing.

The old Tappan Zee Bridge in NY was super long and super low to the water. So god help you if you drove it in the rain and wind. The whole thing would sway and water would lap over the sides. Easily some of the scariest experiences of my life.

Fond memories of driving over that thing. Insane it was in operation as long as it was.

Absolutely the correct thing to do when some oil company or housing baron rolls up with a briefcase of cash and slaps their name on a local landmark, and I wish people here were stronger about it

He was great and I actually met him at a screening of Sorcerer ten years ago, he complained about how kids these days (2014) don't understand how to make a film like this because they're all too busy with cellphones. Peak Grandpa

It's absurd how funny the film is and how absolutely bleak it is at the same time. The pair slowly falling to zombie infection, the punk getting his brain eaten, Linnea Quigley getting swarmed, the cops constantly getting swarmed, the pair getting trapped in the attic and most likely killing themselves before the nuke drops, the nuke dropping. It's just absolutely brutal and no one wins even though it's a comedy.
