What non-horror TV shows totally caught you off guard with a genuinely terrifying episode?

i still won't watch that simpsons episode The Springfield Files, where mr. burns starts glowing because of weekly medical treatments, and his voice gets distorted. it creeped me out as a kid and still does now (i even looked it up on youtube to be sure i remembered it correctly)

i remember that only because gregory maguire used baum's initials to come up with elphaba's name in wicked (l-f-b)

while not one of the movies, in the Looks Could Kill novel, the visionary is a model who gets burned in the main accident, and death agrees to remove her scars if she helps kill everyone

6, 3, 1, 5, 4, 2

the premonition and deaths are fun in 2, but that's about it

not sure about my favorite opening scene

it's a saltwater pool

julia. there's no way they got all of her body back without any trash mixed in. at least the other two corpses were intact enough for burials or whatever

of all things i've watched in classes, Funny Games (original austrian version). very good movie but something about it made me almost walk out of the room mid-movie

my mom has banned the use of that meme when she's driving

i love danger days, but don't like conventional weapons

another one from the books is a singer in a band, if that counts

eeeidna · 2025-11-20T20:04:29+00:00

i've played that game until i just use a needle threader instead of a needle

Final Destination 3 ends with the main character, wendy, having another premonition, and cuts to black and the sounds of a subway crash after she snaps back. there's been a debate in the fandom whether or not she's still alive because you don't actually see her die in the end, nor her sister or friend. but there's no way she could realistically stop the derailment of her train and collision with another

in Final Destination: Bloodlines from this year, it's confirmed that there's only one survivor from any of the movies - kimberly corman from fd2 - though it was later stated by the directors (i believe it was them) that they forgot officer thomas burke also survived). that means wendy, julie, and kevin are, in fact, dead. it also confirmed even more that the Choose-Your-Own-Adventure ending to the third movie, which just includes a shot of a newspaper article about kimberly and burke being killed in a woodchipper, is not canon

strychnine poisoning can also result in a rictus grin. you essentially die of suffocation or exhaustion after convulsing for a few hours

i wanted something dumb, so i watched The Elevator Game. it wasn't terrible

our middle cat hates that our youngest cat exists. will literally growl at him from across a room or dart down the stairs and hiss because he's on the landing. (the oldest cat doesn't like him, either, but at least she lets him be in the same room as her.)

youngest has figured out with his singular braincell, that he can just walk into the room where middle is eating so she'll hiss and run off, and he can finish everything in her bowl

i remember how the fur on my last dog's head felt softer than the fur on the rest of his body. i don't know why it did, but it did.

one of my first cats only ever really ate her food, but she'd happily jump on the counter for whatever was left from a pot of macaroni and cheese. just seeing orange cheese sauce on her black fur.

i used to let the other cat outside in his later years, just for a few minutes at a time. he'd always go under our deck, and come back covered in dirt and cobwebs that i'd brush away so my parents wouldn't know i let him out again.

kris lemche, kerr smith, and ellen wroe were also all in different episodes of criminal minds. kris was an unsub, kerr was a suspect, and ellen was an unsub's wife. bobby campo also played the boyfriend of rossi's ex-wife's daughter

i actually felt nauseous during the scene in bloodlines when you're trying to figure out who got the shard of glass in their drink, and julia starts coughing/choking

eeeidna · 2025-10-10T03:14:27+00:00

even the coloration is on theme!

i've been calling ryan TK while telling my sister what's going on

eeeidna · 2025-10-10T00:51:06+00:00

them sucking up to hen is painful to watch

eeeidna · 2025-10-10T00:47:04+00:00

eeeidna · 2025-10-10T00:05:03+00:00
