(Old thread I know)-- When I hear of things like this and realize how common it must be, it makes me wonder how many missing kids who disappear in the middle of the night with “no sign of struggle or breaking and entering” just wandered off somewhere sleepwalking?

Know this is a very old thread, but had to reply that the first thing my son and I do when we move in somewhere is remove closet doors. Nobody’s going to be hiding in there, thank you very much.

It’s the suspense that sucks you in. As special effects got easier, better, and cheaper, outright gore and in-your-face jump scares took over. Now people…

Can’t speak for anyone else, obviously, but when I make a fire in a fireplace, I set it up in such a way that the burning part is in the center (so that the parabolic back of the fireplace sends the most heat back into the room). The ends of the logs are last to catch/burn, and as the fire burns I have to push the…
