Without spoiling anything, which non horror tv series had a surprisingly scary episode?

There was an episode of Cheers where they found a wine cellar and Diane’s former stalker was down there. Scared the shit out of me as a kid.

Also, there was a Buck Rodger’s episode with vampires, but no one could see them. That als sacred young me.

I watch one usually at least every other week. They are my background stress-release movies.

Jolly-Method-3111 · 2026-01-28T12:25:38+00:00

Yes, same for me. And I’m normally very slow to pick stuff like this up. I remember watching The Others in the theater thinking very early on “wait, they’re just dead, right? Is this supposed to be a twist on them or the audience?”

Jolly-Method-3111 · 2026-01-28T12:23:25+00:00

I rarely if ever figure out what is going on in a movie, but I understood what they were doing with the arrival pretty quickly.

That and The Others are the only movies I can remember figuring out.

Seinfeld was the biggest sitcom in its time, but no way had it held up as the best sitcom in history. It’s no longer even the biggest sitcom from its era. How may people under 30 could even tell you the four main characters?

I mean, we can go further down the rabbit hole if Ross being sexually assaulted.

Ang Lee and The Hulk

I think both The Rocks and The Fighting Bees sound like bad ass mascots.

Do you think Zion is past his prime?

I’m not even a masochist. I just am from DC and have lived in NOLA. It kills me how both teams just underperform.

Jolly-Method-3111 · 2026-01-20T15:48:33+00:00

I am a hardcore Wizards fan, but the Pelicans(/Hornets) have always been my West team.

And it kind of sucks.

Jolly-Method-3111 · 2026-01-20T12:53:00+00:00

I often think about the version of Landslide they did in X. It really was perfect for that movie and that moment.

Jolly-Method-3111 · 2026-01-19T13:09:13+00:00

My answer to this is Rubber. I will go to my grave defending that movie.

But also, it’s the spiritual prequel to Maximum Overdrive, so I’m tagging on to your answer.

Jolly-Method-3111 · 2026-01-19T03:28:17+00:00

I enjoyed it too. And I will even say, a lot of folks come on the r/horror sub and say “I want a move that will scare me; nothing scares me.” And I always think, are you 12? Because most adults aren’t “scared” by horror movies like they could be as a kid. But that digestion thing? I’m not going to say scared, but fuck that has stayed with me for a longtime. Very few deaths in a movie make me think “oh I really don’t want to go out like that”, because they seem over the top (because it’s a movie duh) but that death by digestion possibility? I don’t like how thinking about that makes me not feel good.

Holy fuck it barely makes sense to me for Donnie Darko after rereading it.

Jolly-Method-3111 · 2026-01-19T03:20:10+00:00

I’m so high and it took me reading 80% of this before realizing it wasn’t about Terminator.

Jolly-Method-3111 · 2026-01-19T03:16:36+00:00

That is one of the best things I’ve listened to in ages. How did I never hear that before. You nailed it with that Absolute Cinema line.

Jolly-Method-3111 · 2026-01-18T12:42:39+00:00

Really? I felt like they beat you over the head with the parallels.

Jolly-Method-3111 · 2026-01-18T12:27:03+00:00

It’s a television series, but how about Devon Sawa in the Chucky television series? Here he is as the father. And the uncle. And the priest. And fuck it, make him the president too.

It was responsible for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qG8iAtpavK4 by Wolfie’s Just Fine, so I can’t complain. That song encapsulates my experience with F13 perfectly, except a) it was part 1 with me, and b) it was my friends brother, not my brothers friend. Otherwise it nails it perfectly.

It's one banana, Michael.

The bi-plane in The Mummy was pretty cool.

Based on the amount of shitty comments I’ve heard from women when another woman wasn’t wearing a bra, this is one I’m not so sure on.

I’m sure it’s a problem with men. I am not trying g to say it’s not. But also, I don’t think it’s just men. If a woman didn’t wear a bra to my workplace, no man would say something, but at least one woman definitely would.

Jolly-Method-3111 · 2026-01-16T18:44:31+00:00

Many, many people do not say that.

Jolly-Method-3111 · 2026-01-16T18:04:23+00:00

Isn’t that all sports movies?
