I don’t see any recommendations for The Lost Boys yet. It’s super '80s in the “both Coreys” way. It’s dated, but still a lot of fun.

Prince of Darkness is a guilty pleasure for me. I love religious horror, so it’s my favorite John Carpenter movie. There are some fairly violent bits, but it’s not overly gory like a slasher flick. If you’re okay with The Thing, this one should be fine.

The Endless is also religious horror, but it’s more psychological. There’s not much violence, but it’s very tense.

Little Monsters (the 2019 one) is a heartwarming comedy about a teacher who has to protect her class from a zombie apocalypse during a field trip. It’s got a moderate amount of zombie-movie gore, but it’s treated in a humorous way. If you’re okay with Shaun of the Dead, it should be fine.

Hubs and I didn’t love the movie, but we totally adore the series.

I recently saw a shirt for sale online that says, “I’m sorry for everything I said when I was evangelical,” and that really just about sums it up.

Every case of a random person hiring a “hitman” that I have heard of has, in fact, been someone hiring an undercover cop. And the people soliciting the services went to jail for a good long while.

There’s a big cake mix manufacturing plant near where I grew up, and I knew a lot of people who worked there. They all confirmed that the only difference between the name brand cake mix and the store brand they made was the box they put it into at the end of the process.

Oh, man. What a day that was. I was in first grade, still too young to understand that there were people in that thing and that those people died.

When we watched it blow up like fireworks, I don’t think we realized that wasn’t what it was supposed to do. Our poor teacher had to process it pretty quickly so she could explain it to us.

The way that someone responds to you is a reflection of them, not of you. If someone in your life is wildly inconsistent, all you can do is make sure that you are maintaining consistency yourself.

I’ve worked with a number of people who acted like we were besties one day and then gave me the cold shoulder for weeks. I spent too many years wondering what was wrong with me before I finally figured out that their mood swings had nothing to do with me.

I remember when Fox was a brand-new network that only broadcast during specific times of the day in my area.

Same.

A lot of my favorites have already been mentioned, but I don’t see “Caper” yet.

“Thanks for stopping by; thanks for breaking my cow lamp,” is still common parlance in our household.

And “The Cheat Is Not Dead” is a classic Strongbad hit.
