The "Uh-Oh" Moment

[rgraham666]

Beware of the locked door that no one has the key to but mysteriously opens by itself.

That's always good advice.

Also, do not play with a ball that come bouncing down the stairs, wet, after you've thrown it in a river twenty miles away.

I will cross-stitch that on a sofa pillow.

Don't forget the all important "Don't screw around with the Ouija board during the slumber party and forget to put the demon spirit back"

I think Eddie Izzard says it best: The girl and the guy in the hut in the middle of the woods and they see something off in the distance. "Is that an axe-murderer over there? About 8 miles away through the woods? I'll just go outside and check."

<walks to the other side of the stage>

"Oh it is an axe-murderer! <calls back> It was an axe-murderer, darling!"

Heads that rotate all the way around and people spontaneously levitating tend to bode ill.

Oh, and if anyone says, "It's just a loon," forget the dead cat and leave town quickly.

Shouldn't that one end with a meaty THUNK!?

EEEEEEEK! The Changeling. I loved that movie. I hated that movie.

I was just talking about that one at the horror-movie thread. I didn't know anyone else had seen it.

You're giving the hero too much credit if you have him there long enough to pick up the ball. My rule would be, "If you're trying to heal from your grief after watching your wife and child run over by a truck, don't rent an isolated Victorian-era mansion that earns you a strange look from the rental agent when you ask why it's been empty for such a long time."

Don't turn your back while chumming the water.

If there are no woods around, it's okay to settle for a late-night visit to the attic to see who's keeping you awake with all that crying and wailing.

Don't turn your back while chumming the water.

Don't taunt large predatory animals with verbal insults.

Don't go into the garden bare-footed, especially in the dark.

Yep.



One of real-life's uh-oh moments is this sound, guaranteed to wake up a dog owner from a sound sleep: "Gaak...gaak..."

Do yourself a favor. Don't wake up. You can clean it up in the morning.

Oh yes, indeed. I learnt that one a while back. Love 'em.
