...THE CHILD...
Despite my fear of giant weird puppets as a child I inexplicably loved this movie for some reason. Everything was so otherworldly and fanciful while also being kinda dark and realistic.
I actually still prefer it over the first movie :ssh:

Let's get clean and smart


I liked looking at skeletons in National Geographic when I was around 5 or 6. Love them bones, and so when I saw like the Crypt-keeper or another similar mobile skeleton I was weirdly okay with it. That skeleton lady portrait from Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark? I'd camp out in the library before school and look at the pictures for a rush and half before the day started. I was 'scared' yeah, because I knew I was supposed to be scared, but I also wanted to scope some more skeletons and it was all good. That's what scary skeleton men where - they existed to scare you but were well within the realm of make believe, because real skeletons just laid in the ground and were dug up and ended up as pictures in National Geographic or my junior scientist books. It was a well and good and, above all, safe, situation and I still love me some spooky skeletons.

However, this motherfucker? Where is the context for this?



How does this fucker fit into reality? Where does he belong?


Also the music and sound effects for Math Man on 321 contact. Very upsetting for some reason. Feels like a nightmare.

I saw Alien Resurrection in the theater when I was 6. By then I was a huge Alien fan. I watched Alien and Aliens pretty much every day thanks to it being on TV all the time, I bought whatever Alien toys ended up on clearance at KayBee Toys, I even had a 10" Alien figure (came with a Predator, which at that point I didn't know what it was so I kinda ditched it somewhere and forgot about it) which I took everywhere for a little bit. So when I heard Resurrection was coming out, I had to see it. My dad asked me if I wanted to see either Starship Troopers or Alien Resurrection. My dad is cool.

I picked Res because Aliens, yo. And I was loving the movie for the most part. It had Aliens, it had action, it had Ripley, and it had awesome gore.

Then this mother fucker showed up.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsJjfS-i2zM

I remember looking at it, and it just bothered me so much I ended up shutting my eyes for the remainder of the film. I opened them when I heard it no more. Scared me until I was 12.

Uh, then I saw The Mummy, and I went to go to the bathroom and turned around right at this exact part-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6J-PhFYNbOU&t=90s

Fuckin ran out of the theater so fast. Skeletons freaked me out as a kid. Don't know why.



Then the last scene that truly rocked me too my core was this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAZaRpeS6Hg&t=56s

I'll still call that one my favorite scenes of all time. It's just so well done.

I encourage children who are bullied to kill themselves. In fact, I get off to it. Pedophilia-snuff films are the best. More abused children need to kill themselves.
Watched Child's Play in the dark with neighbour's kids while my parents were over at the neighbour's house having drinks when I was about six. Threw out all doll like toys the following day.

Those illustrations were awesome. They re-published a couple years ago and replaced all the illustrations with stuff that won't trigger today's delicate youths.

Mmmm,
You smell like Lysol Wipes.
The Exorcist. I was nine or ten and my big sister and her husband had just got their first house. It was a big rear end three story place with hardwood floors and an open central staircase, so it really echoed when anyone moved around. She was all like "Do you want to come over for the weekend? We have HBO." So of course I jumped all over it. They went out on Saturday night, so I decide to pull up a blanket and watch The Exorcist alone. I also forgot about their giant rear end cat that had been mostly hiding since it was freaked out by moving to the new place.

So just as poo poo starts hitting the fan in the movie, I hear this slow thump-thump-thump coming down the stairs from the third floor. I'm freaking out, Linda Blair is vomiting on priests, and then it gets quiet again from upstairs for a few minutes. Then I start hearing the thumping coming from the stairs on it's way to the first floor. I'm trying not to poo poo myself with the blanket pulled up to my lower eyelids, looking around the door frame and waiting for Satan to stroll off the bottom step and then the stupid cat pops out and is all like "Oh. Hey, human". I've still never re-watched that movie since then.

Cats are the worst. They always seem to know when you're already freaked out and choose that moment to ambush you from around the corner or something. For instance, I was reading Pet Semetary years and years ago, and right at the part when the undead cat is weirdly staring at people, I looked up and my sister's cat was sitting there staring at me. I was like "do you have to do that RIGHT NOW?"

ooh I remembered a good one: on staten island cable access, two middle aged burnouts hosted a show that aired Saturday nights at like 1 or 2 am called Industrial television, all uncensored bizarre sex and violence.

Clinical videos of women examining their vaginas, actual autopsies, hentai, ooh I remember one clip of some redneck mail order tape called splodin' varmints that was just guys literally blowing up small animals.

Obviously every kid knew about this show and carefully guarded the secret from their parents and we'd all try to figure out ways to watch tv at 2am without getting caught.

First time I ever watched it, they showed salo, or the 120 days of sodom :cry: I was like 8 or 9 I guess, and I'd seen some weird poo poo, but nothing prepared me for that.


I felt so sick and strange afterwards. I think that must be what being Catholic is like. I felt like I needed to take a shower constantly for the next week, and everything scared me - old men, italian words, rice, pretty girls, toilets, all of it made me feel nauseated and guilty and ashamed.

I mean, Jesus, kid, at least date a motherfucker with abortion money and house to have sex at where your mother and I don't have to hear it. Also, if he treats her poorly, boom, that asshole's gonna catch a statch charge.

Please, John K. Date my daughter... Save her from dating smelly dropouts who wanna-be Soundcloud rappers.

It was in my elementary school library.

I found the "treasury" of all 3 books in one hardcover book a few years back at Goodwill and I am so glad I have it. The stories are mostly stupid to funny and not scary (the one about the girl with a ribbon around her neck gave me nightmares though) but the art is phenomenally disturbing.


Also, looking for pics made me realize I'm still a bit freaked out by 'ol Gmork

Seconding this. The scene in which one of the crew members I hung up via hooks with his intestines strewn out was so jarring to me as a kid that I didn't feel comfortable with anyone touching my stomach up until my early 20's. It hosed me up that bad.
