When I was a kid Nightmare on Elm Street was the first and most memorable horror movie I watched, and I always wanted a Freddy costume. A few years back I found the world of silicone masks and it was on. This is my newest mask made my the best Freddy silicone maker in the biz. Way too much money invested in masks, sweaters, hats, and gloves. It has won me some money in contests though, and it’s fun af scaring the kids during halloween.

Next to Alien, this was my favorite horror franchise growing up.
Which is your favorite Freddy film? As a kid, Dream Warriors was my go to.

Freddy 3 was my intro to NOES movies, though I didn't see it until the early 90s. I didn't see Alien until I was a teenager, though. Fantastic movie where it feels similar to watching a horror movie, but it is somehow different.
Alien is sci fi thriller I'd think
i think alien is more thriller/horror than sci-fi
there's few, if any traditional scifi elements in that franchise
it's far closer to predator than blade runner
I remember when alien came out. My pal and I bought tix to moonraker and snuck into see alien. the dude taking the tix came into alien and pretended he was going to kick us out cuz we were underage just to mess with us. He let us stay. I was 13 when we saw it. It scared the fcuking piss out of me. jus sayin
also - sup 11t!
Alien is one of the best movies ever made. It is incredibly well shot.

Completely agree and I’m a huge sucker for the franchise. I don’t care how bad any of them are, I will still enjoy and pay money to go see them. I’m pumped for the new series and movie. They’ll probably both suck, but I don’t care!

question that i think the thread can solve
house is packed for the summer lots of family coming up and staying on the water
i'm working in my home office and have the door closed so the kids don't barge in and distract me
an in law of my sibling who i haven't seen in over a decade and only ever seen at sibling's wedding is heard saying from behind the door "i wonder what's behind this door" and then he immediately opens it - sees me working, apologizes and quickly closed it and leaves
i'm not sure how i feel about it - when i later emerged and we saw each other he apologized a bunch and I said "no need to apologize it's fine, just wish you'd have asked for a tour or knocked" and we left it at that - we're pretty different people but otherwise get along fairly well in very limited hangouts - his sibling who married mine is one of my favorite people in the world
i'm mostly of the mentality of "who cares if he was curious and wanted to see the rest of the house, i would have gladly showed him had he asked"
but then, i think to myself, nowhere in a million years would i ever be visiting someone i barely know through a 3rd party invitation via another guest of the house and then just start opening doors and exploring the house - it was just him and his wife, my sibling was not there, in which case it would have been "oh that's rick's office, let's say hi"
the harmless result is not what bothers me - it's the intent
either way i'm not going to say anything or make it into anything, mostly just asking if you guys in the thread were invited to the house of your inlaw's sibling, would you just start walking around and opening doors to explore? just really bothers me that he'd do that instead of asking for a tour
There is a Reddit thread of something along the lines of “am I the *******” where you take matters like this.
My take - he is 100% in the clear here
I mean, I wouldn't have done what he did, but I wouldn't make a big deal about it either. Maybe I'd make a comment about "glad you didn't open that door ten minutes ago, or we'd both have been traumatized," partly for humor and partly to highlight the privacy issue a bit, but once he apologized, I'd let it go.
Hey Squid, still in FL?

It's entirely a function of how nice your house is. If you have an estate it's likely not an issue, a standard SFH in the suburbs that's weird.

I second this take.
fyi it's not so much a privacy issue of coming into my office unanounced, it's the "oh here's a door in a strange house i'm just going to open it and take a peek inside"
like do people actually do that?

How else you gonna find the dungeon?
Re: bip!'s answers a while back. I once heard that the statistic on Spectravision (the old-time PPV adult channel) was an average of 12 minutes. No idea if that is a urban legend.
P.S. Not sure I knew Garick accomplished the PhD. Congratulations!

A significant portion of the population will do so, even though culturally it is taboo. Horror movies essentially exploit this by showing what happens when you go into areas where you shouldn't. This goes back the Illiad.
