But then he gives a little moral and the end of the episode. During the nightmare: "Still looking for cottage cheese, Karen? Maybe it was inside you the entire time! Ha! Ha! Ha! " Then she screams to get the manager and slowly melts to a blob of cottage cheese. Then Freddy scoops some in a bowl, puts in some peaches, and says " Make sure you have a balanced diet, kids! This is a healthy snack, right Karen? Ha! Ha! Ha!
I was watching He-Man recently and the PSAs at the end are kind of funny since Man-at-Arms talks about how practical jokes can make your friends lose an arm, eye, or life. They were straight shooters in the 80s!
You mean like all the child-friendly content built around Dracula, Frankenstein, Mummies, Zombies, Werewolves, Ghosts, but with Freddy, Jason, Michael Myers, Ghostface, Jigsaw, Annabelle, Chucky, Pinhead, Xenomorphs, etc?
It would be like when I grew up and saw a George Carlin special on tv and was like “oh that’s Mister conductor from Thomas! He does comedy? I have to see this…” And was instantly traumatized in a good way
Oh wow. I am clearly older than you because Thomas was something that I was way too old for by the time it came on TV and I had plenty of Carlin’s albums, but yeah, that must have been a head trip. I wonder if there are any other examples like that. I can’t think of any off the top of my head.
EDIT: Thought of one. Bob Saget, the world’s dirtiest comedian, playing a dad on the sickeningly wholesome show Full House.
Bob Saget is an awesome pick. Tim Allen was sort of similar although it wasn’t nearly as shocking as Bob Saget. America’s funniest home videos was so lame that the bar was as low as possible.
Child-friendly fairy tales: a little girl went into the forest alone and got lost, she speak with an owl and ask the owl to guide her home, which the owl agree to guide her home and she went home scared but safe.
OG fairy tales: a little girl went into the forest alone and got lost, she speak with an owl and ask the owl to guide her home, the owl laugh, then fly straight to her and rip her face off, eating her alive.
I mean, that does happen with a lot of traditionally scary monsters to be fair. Look at how cutesy Halloween monsters sometimes get portrayed as, or dragons, which at least in the European sense would traditionally have been dangerous and scary monsters but nowadays are just as often friendly or protective as they are hostile.
Classic Monsters Any horror genre fans around? If so, good news for you: Many of the classic monsters are in the public domain. These include Dracula, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Frankenstein, Phantom of the Opera, Creature from the Black Lagoon (film), and The Bride of Frankenstein (film).
What You Need to Know: You cannot use modern day adaptations of these stories. Instead, create your own take on the original stories and characters.
Disney is VERY litigious , meaning that they will sue for copyright , saying that you haven’t use the public domain version of a character - you used their version - because their version has a pretty nose or whatever.
