A nighttime shot of the Cinerama Dome, a white geodesic dome-shaped movie theater in Los Angeles. The dome’s white marquee says “Pacific’s Cinerama Theater.” Projected upon the dome are white rectangular flyers that say “Mr. Forman REOPEN THE DOME!” The flyers include two side-by-side photos of the men in charge of the building’s ownership. At the center of the projection is an Instagram logo, along with usernames that say @savearclightcinemas2 and @vanfathernightly.

Cinema Is So Back. And Gen Z Is Behind It.

Side view of a woman to the left of the image leaning towards a bright white laptop screen that’s on the right side of the image. The woman’s motion is captured by a blur that makes it seem as if she is being sucked towards the screen. She and the laptop are highlighted by a blue and red glow, and they are surrounded in complete darkness. Faint images intersperse the right side of the pitch-black room, clockwise: an arm plunging into a distorted mirror; a plastic face with bulging eyes, an uncanny smile, and stringy black hair; the silhouette of a figure standing before a flashlit cave; a vintage doll with glowing eyes, wearing a dress. The text "Close All Tabs" appears in white text in the upper left corner.

Cursed All Tabs: Portals, Creepy Caves, Jumpscares and Haunted Objects

Image of the inside of what seems to be a church. The right half of the image, in the foreground and slightly blurry, is a nun with glasses, sitting at a black piano and laughing. Her hands lay on the keys and there is sheet music in front of her. Behind her, on the left of the image, is a man in religious dress, sitting behind a black drum set, also laughing. To the right, two Catholic sisters are standing, also laughing. The one closest to the man is behind a black music stand and the furthest from him is carrying a saxophone around her neck. The text "Close All Tabs" appears in white text in the lower right corner.
