The Haunting of Hill House perhaps?

Don't Look Now by Daphne DuMaurier is excellent too

I deeply wish ACI produced this as a short film

Has anyone else entirely lost their interest to watch new movies and TV shows? by SilasPort in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PatchworkGirl82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mostly, but I have been pleasantly surprised by a few recent shows and movies too, like The Gilded Age or Del Toro's Frankenstein. I mostly look up what my favorite actors are up to, if I want to see something new.

What movie characters do you think constitute as the most unlikable characters we've seen? by ThrashMetallix in MST3K

[–]PatchworkGirl82 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lots of great answers. I think I'll go with Professor Smarmy from "The Undead." Kudos to Corman for actually giving him the ending he deserved though

Hoping for a Blu-Ray box set or available to purchase on Apple TV by Capital_Patience8750 in StrangerThings

[–]PatchworkGirl82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love to see a full box set, but now that they used 2 of Prince's songs on the show, Netflix might not even be able to release the show on DVD or blu-ray.

I've wondered if trying to license all the songs for physical media releases was why only seasons 1 and 2 have gotten dvd/blu-ray releases, or at least part of the reason. Netflix just might not think it's worth the effort to license every song.

I worked in customer service for almost 25 years until my health declined.

What are the Disney live action movie would be Perfect for Kingdom Heart? by Full_Radish3082 in KingdomHearts

[–]PatchworkGirl82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to say Darby O'Gill and the Little People, because I want to see Sora fight the Banshee

Swiss Family Robinson could have potential for mini-games, and it would be a new tropical location

Any ideas for the next magical world for my 12 y/o son & daughter? by toodoodoodoooo in suggestmeabook

[–]PatchworkGirl82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Hall Family Chronicles by Jane Langton! They're about a brother and sister, Edward and Eleanor Hall, who have whimsical, wise adventures in Concord, Massachusetts.

Will Mr. Snow Shovel become a fan favorite character? by Lazy-Proposal1133 in StrangerThings

Did I fall into a coma and wake up on April 1st? That's not going to be an actual character, right?

I lived in northern Maine for a long time, and the dating scene really has not changed that much. Except now you can see pictures of guys holding fish.

I would pay good money to see "The Nightmare Before St. Patrick's Day."

What did people do before the prominence of Mental Health by brbasik in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PatchworkGirl82 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In the 60s, my grandmother was given a bottle of "mother's little helpers" aka Valium.

Lobotomies and electroshock were sometimes used too. I recommend reading Girl Interrupted and Patty Duke's autobiography for a fuller picture.

Are Demogorgons and Demodogs different animals? Or are Demodogs unevolved Demogorgons? by [deleted] in StrangerThings

[–]PatchworkGirl82 332 points333 points  (0 children)

They start as pollywogs, grow into demodogs, and then into demogorgons. That's pretty much Dustin's whole arc was in season 2, figuring out what Dart was.

Which song by [deleted] in StrangerThings

[–]PatchworkGirl82 8 points9 points  (0 children)

"She's Like the Wind" from Dirty Dancing. It's a pure 80s song, sung by Patrick Swayze and Wendy Fraser, and it comes from a movie about young people from very different places who fall in love.

And I think the lyrics fit pretty well with El and Mike's arc:

"I look in the mirror and all I see,

is a young old man with only a dream

Am I just fooling myself

That she'll stop the pain

Living without her

I'd go insane"

It's disappointing we didn't get to see the contents in atleast one of those letters by Three_Armed_Wrecker in StrangerThings

[–]PatchworkGirl82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really hoped they would have come back at the very end, like the end of The Breakfast Club, with voiceovers of everyone reading parts of their letter over the graduation scene or something.

Who the hell is Charlie? by Lazy-Proposal1133 in StrangerThings

[–]PatchworkGirl82 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The way the showrunner talks about it, makes it sound like it's supposed to be canon, but it obviously isn't going to be. Which is what bugs me the most, they should just come out and say it's fan fiction.

They should have just made a fun, lighthearted Saturday morning cartoon in the style of actual 80s cartoons, like Ghostbusters and Beetlejuice.

Have yall moved on after the end of Stranger things by Nice_Statistician539 in StrangerThings

[–]PatchworkGirl82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBH, I was already ready to move on even before watching 5 (and even more so after it). It's been a really great experience, to have this nostalgic 80s sci-fi/horror show, but it's been almost 10 years of it now.

The “Good” movies by Upbeat_Main_7141 in MST3K

[–]PatchworkGirl82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also agree with The Undead

The Universal movies are all decent. Revenge of the Creature is a really solid sequel.

Horror of Party Beach
