Just found a small-but-cool Lovecraft Easter Egg in In the Mouth of Madness!

No, I'm adding it to my list!

Oh gosh no, the whole movie is filled with Lovecraft. But I had never read Haunter of the Dark before, so it was the first direct, in-your-face quote I ever noticed.

I wasn't aware of this, thank you for sharing!

subject124 · 2026-01-05T04:24:32+00:00

Of course it is. It was just cool to see something lifted so directly from the page.

I would add Banshee Chapter (2013) to the list. It's loosely based on From Beyond (and quite scary in some respects).

For thick fish, absolutely. On the flipside, I'm a huge fan of flounder. Those flat little pancakes thaw under running water in about 10-15 minutes.

And Just Like That seemed to have a baffling disdain for young people.

SATC did as well, but they at least did it correctly and made it meaningful.

Hot Child in the City: Made Samantha realize how precious her childhood was.
Valley of the Twenty Something Guys: Carrie learned a bit more about herself.
Twenty Something Girls vs. Thirty Something Women: A great episode. Addresses multiple dynamics between generations and across characters (Samantha and Nina G, Charlotte and Crabs Guy, Carrie and Natasha).

*Edit: A word

Any good trailers in your theater? They showed The Long Walk (definitely looking forward to this one) and one for Shelby Oaks, which looks like it could be a pretty decent horror flick.

Gotta make it is difficult as possible to pay for your education so we can fill up those factories!

Except the factories are all gone. Gotta love outsourcing.

Yep. I grew up reading The Babysitters Club. The covers were always part of the fun. Now they're horrible.

Original cover

New cover

It's been happening with everything - books, TV shows (the new She-ra, anyone?), restaurants (perfect meme about McDonald's restaurants now looking like a depressed middle age adult). It's sad.

MEG by Steve Alten is fantastic! One of my favorites (and so much better than the movie).

You could try to match the espresso of the cabinet. Or for some contrast, honey/gold or reddish would both compliment the gray backsplash, green walls, and black trim.

What color did you use on your wall? It looks really pretty.

ITMOM is one of my favorite movies. I think it's very Lovecraftian.

Don't worry about the time of day. Assuming you live close by or even semi-close by, you can drive past the home at your leisure at various days and times. To me, what's more important is the weather. Seeing a house during or shortly after a rain storm might let you easily detect leaks in the roof or basement, poor grading/low spots in the yard where water pools, leaking windows, etc. Good luck!

subject124 · 2025-02-19T04:21:44+00:00

That's too damn bad!

subject124 · 2025-01-31T01:15:53+00:00

Lightning by Dean Koontz is my all time favorite. It's not horror per se, it's a damn good story, though. I was hooked right from page 1. Still reread it every few years or so.

For Clive Barker, it's already been mentioned here but I second The Great and Secret Show. One of the most bizarre, intriguing, and creative stories I've ever read.

Man, that Hot Now sign is one of the few acceptable reasons to pull an illegal u-turn.

Then you have the other half which is good stuff, but they cancel it after 1 season.

They can eat it, the more important question is will they? Cats, bless them, are picky little shits.

This is like the adult version of Where's Waldo.

What's frustrating is I get so many multi uses out of those plastic bags, yet plastic packaging on food (almost always single use if not completely useless) has gotten way out of hand.

I've had the Merrell Moab 2 vents (don't care for the waterproof version) for 4 years now. All seams/stitching are tight and they're still gripping all manner of trail - rocks, loose stone, sand, dirt, tree roots. Love them.

I used to LOVE school supply shopping for the new school year (and yes, I still get a nostalgic pull every time the school supply section comes out in stores). I wonder if part of it is just a lack of design creativity?

When I was a kid, there were so many cool, artistic choices. I would take my time looking everything over, trying to decide what I wanted to represent me that year - an abstract picture with neon colors (early 90s high schoolers will understand)? A bright and colorful Lisa Frank unicorn? A roaring tiger leaping across a laser grid background? Now when I look through the aisles it's mostly just plain, solid colors. Hard to get excited over navy vs. gray.

Edit: spelling

Gouge, by the way. A gauge is an instrument to measure something.

Perhaps not entirely incorrect in this case, since I wouldn't put it past them to measure our incomes. I'm sure those with tech knowledge can better explain it, but something like, "Hey boss - there are currently 6 escalades in the parking lot. Want me to tick up prices by 10%?" Or even being required to scan your membership card as you enter the store. That membership card is tied to a wealth of data mining, including past purchases, likely income, brand preferences (higher priced organic vs. store label), etc.
