The entire article is worth reading for people who have the stomach. At one point, she confesses that Harvey and his people had spent so much time gaslighting her that she was frightened that even Farrow wasn’t who he said he was.

Being lost in the woods at night, any movie with people stuck in the wilderness skeeves me.

But think back to earlier seasons, when Paula would egg on Rebecca’s scheming whenever Rebecca would hesitate. Paula came to realize that she was living vicariously through Rebecca and needed to keep it going. The scene with Tim shows how casually Paula inserts herself into other’s business then equally casually moves

By far the scariest fictional scenario is EVIL FUCKING KIDS. Possessed kids, Serial killer kids, Alien kids, Kids with black eyes, Kids with white eyes, Kids that speak with deranged adult like voices, Kids that can run faster than you, Kids that can crawl on walls/ceilings, Kids that can read your mind, Kids that

Germans have been scared of the doppelgänger. Seeing this other briefly on separate train platform, wondering how it may mess with your life

Going below the mason dixon line

I vividly recall poor Days Of Our Lives’ Carly being put in some deathlike state, then placed in a coffin and buried, whereupon she regained consciousness.

What like the guy who is told by the hostage takers to pick who gets killed? I dunno, I mean if I am in the company of nuns and merchant banks then the choice becomes super easy to make. I hate nuns. Nuns terrify me. There used to be a retirement home run by nuns near where I grew up and they wore the old fashioned

Home invasions and people hiding in cupboards or under beds, totally there. I lived in NYC in the 1980s, the early 80s-when there were vampire crack squirrels running around in central park, and checking my doors and windows, and all the cupboards and nooks of my apartment was a ritual I went through both on leaving

I hear that. As someone who was homeless for a month in his early twenties, I’ve got a good idea of how easy it is for something like that to happen, how completely out of your control the whole situation can be and the effect it can have on your mental health. And it wasn’t even for that long a time!

Waking up and finding myself living in a pile of newspapers under a busy overpass and talking to myself all day, wondering what went wrong. That is the hellish, reoccurring nightmare I’ve lived with for years.

Some of us get off on that drip coffee. If you drop a 9v battery in the pot at the beginning of the day and just let it simmer all morning, add some MSG to taste... well you got what we around the office call a “manic monday”.

Semi-fictional because it can’t be ruled out and is usually presented as a reenactment: alien abduction. I was a kid in the early 90's when The X-Files came out and my dad got in to it. REAL in to it. He was always prone to odd beliefs in Nostradamus and the New World Order. He got lots of books on UFOs, aliens and

It’s horrifying to me that people would drink drip coffee from an urn that’s been sitting on a warmer all day, but in films and TV they’re found in workplaces where people do necessary, honest work that puts hair on your chest, and pod coffee — clearly a better option — is only seen in workplaces that are soul-sucking

I never go in a pool that has an electronic covering. I’m too afraid it will glitch or someone will close it on me and I’ll be trapped there for days and starve and drown. It is definitely not as common a scenario as some of these, but I’ve seen it enough times to be physically afraid of it happening to me.

Buried alive by a mile. Just seeing that picture raised my heart rate significantly.

Big/Freaky Friday identity swap for me. There’s an underlying psychologicsl horror in the act of trying to convince someone you know intimately that you’re actually you that just terrifies me to my absolute core.

This show just makes me so happy.

Loved the shot of the girls wearing eye patches and hooks.

I’m inordinately delighted that anyone 20 or younger was just plain confused by the fast-forwarding effect.
