"Is this your dog?"
"What does it look like, my zebra?"
"What do you call him?"
"Irresponsible, he's ten minutes late for rehearsal."

this is tremendous

This is... notably more comedically aligned than I was expecting.

Feel like a foggy gothic castle might not be the... ideal location for an insane asylum for the militarily unhinged, even one meant to check if they're faking.

#202, or #852, 1980's "The Ninth Configuration," which I understand is an alternative followup to "The Exorcist."

mastodon user goes to doctor, says to doctor, "doctor, my notifications column is a mess, life seems bleak,"

doctor says, "here's great post by a fellow mastodon user, it's doing numbers, everyone's boosting it,"

Peter Horton and Linda Hamilton don't get enough to do, the supernatural element is superfluous, they barely really get much out of the creepy kids -- would anything be that different if they were all 35?

A lot of elements that have been done well in other places and ought-a combine pretty well here, but the end result is pretty weak.

Can't imagine I'm saying anything new about this one, but it sure doesn't need the actual supernatural element.

"You know not the Laws, He speaks them only to me!"

how theocratically convenient

"Are your mommy and daddy around?"
"They're in the cornfield. [...] All the adults are in the cornfield. [...] Isaac sent them there."

TECHNICALLY I was right

A bunch of kids doing Southern-style Bible yelling /should/ be pretty creepy, but it's not quite pulling it off, is it.

What this one appears to be about is a small town's been taken over by a cult of murderous corn-worshipping children.

Oh, I see, it's a Stephen King. *adjusts expectations*

if a bunch of people got slasher movie'd in a small town diner would that be fucked up or what

I don't even know if I know what this one's about. The kid who sends people to the cornfield? Or is that a Twilight Zone.

#201, or #851, 1984's "Children of the Corn."

you're telling me a regular panned this pizza?

doctor who fans: "it's implausible for everyone on Earth to just forget about the various Dalek invasions or things like the entire planet being moved"

Good. I might never think about it again.
