After all, Spencer's famous persona is the stoic, put-upon matriarch, usually one in a position of service to others, and she's carried her weary frown and warm, easy hugs to awards glory in \u003cem>The Help, Fruitvale Station, Hidden Figures\u003c/em>,and \u003cem>The Shape of Water\u003c/em>... and for a while entered Typecast Valley with \u003cem>The Shack, Gifted\u003c/em>, and on and on. There was a period where it just seemed like the actress would be stuck in the roles of mother or maid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So in \u003cem>Ma\u003c/em>, the latest cheapo shocker from Blumhouse Productions, Spencer tweaks her goodness for evil. She's still abnormally welcoming, and she still doles out hugs, but now there's something sinister behind the generosity, a glassy-eyed stare crying out for a different kind of attention. And she's tweaking something else, too. In the land of teenagers, the middle-aged are typically sexless, dumpy non-entities: their best years behind them, their present life only noteworthy inasmuch as they can be useful to the teenagers. So this woman wins the trust of a parent-deficient teen crew by appealing to their dumbest instincts: buying them lots of alcohol and offering up her creaky basement as a no-questions-asked crash pad. It's exactly the antidote to growing up that they all crave, and it comes courtesy of an actual adult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIvbEC8N3cA\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We should be clear up front that \u003cem>Ma\u003c/em> is not an especially well-made movie: It suffers from poor pacing, overly broad comedy, some truly ugly camerawork, and an empty script. But under the surface it just might be saying something, if not worthwhile, then at least not empty. The film was directed by Spencer's longtime pal Tate Taylor, who also helmed \u003cem>The Help\u003c/em>, and it's fun to think of this trashy anti-prestige picture as the \u003cem>Us\u003c/em>-style \"tethered\" to that overly safe period piece on race relations. Both are Mississippi-shot tales of a woman treated like a \u003ca href=\"https://theconversation.com/i-am-not-your-nice-mammy-how-racist-stereotypes-still-impact-women-111028\">Mammy\u003c/a> who carries out revenge on thoughtless white people, and they're both told through the eyes of a white girl trying to figure her own whole deal out. In fact, \u003cem>The Help\u003c/em> was arguably the more disgusting movie, with its infamous pie scene, while \u003cem>Ma\u003c/em> only gets around to blitzing its gross-out moments in the climax to trick us into thinking we were watching \u003cem>Saw\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this case the Emma Stone role goes to Diana Silvers, whose doe-eyed high school student Maggie has just moved to town with her single mom (the overqualified Juliette Lewis). Maggie quickly joins up with a crowd of idiot partiers with names like \"Haley\" and \"Chaz,\" the sort of personality-free teens you tend to see in the background of other high school movies. And that's why Spencer's Sue Ann, a veterinarian's assistant in flower scrubs and an Anton Chigurh bowl cut, can worm her way into their lives so easily: these kids are just blank slates for her to manipulate as she sees fit.

After all, Spencer's famous persona is the stoic, put-upon matriarch, usually one in a position of service to others, and she's carried her weary frown and warm, easy hugs to awards glory in \u003cem>The Help, Fruitvale Station, Hidden Figures\u003c/em>,and \u003cem>The Shape of Water\u003c/em>... and for a while entered Typecast Valley with \u003cem>The Shack, Gifted\u003c/em>, and on and on. There was a period where it just seemed like the actress would be stuck in the roles of mother or maid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So in \u003cem>Ma\u003c/em>, the latest cheapo shocker from Blumhouse Productions, Spencer tweaks her goodness for evil. She's still abnormally welcoming, and she still doles out hugs, but now there's something sinister behind the generosity, a glassy-eyed stare crying out for a different kind of attention. And she's tweaking something else, too. In the land of teenagers, the middle-aged are typically sexless, dumpy non-entities: their best years behind them, their present life only noteworthy inasmuch as they can be useful to the teenagers. So this woman wins the trust of a parent-deficient teen crew by appealing to their dumbest instincts: buying them lots of alcohol and offering up her creaky basement as a no-questions-asked crash pad. It's exactly the antidote to growing up that they all crave, and it comes courtesy of an actual adult.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/eIvbEC8N3cA'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/eIvbEC8N3cA'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>We should be clear up front that \u003cem>Ma\u003c/em> is not an especially well-made movie: It suffers from poor pacing, overly broad comedy, some truly ugly camerawork, and an empty script. But under the surface it just might be saying something, if not worthwhile, then at least not empty. The film was directed by Spencer's longtime pal Tate Taylor, who also helmed \u003cem>The Help\u003c/em>, and it's fun to think of this trashy anti-prestige picture as the \u003cem>Us\u003c/em>-style \"tethered\" to that overly safe period piece on race relations. Both are Mississippi-shot tales of a woman treated like a \u003ca href=\"https://theconversation.com/i-am-not-your-nice-mammy-how-racist-stereotypes-still-impact-women-111028\">Mammy\u003c/a> who carries out revenge on thoughtless white people, and they're both told through the eyes of a white girl trying to figure her own whole deal out. In fact, \u003cem>The Help\u003c/em> was arguably the more disgusting movie, with its infamous pie scene, while \u003cem>Ma\u003c/em> only gets around to blitzing its gross-out moments in the climax to trick us into thinking we were watching \u003cem>Saw\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In this case the Emma Stone role goes to Diana Silvers, whose doe-eyed high school student Maggie has just moved to town with her single mom (the overqualified Juliette Lewis). Maggie quickly joins up with a crowd of idiot partiers with names like \"Haley\" and \"Chaz,\" the sort of personality-free teens you tend to see in the background of other high school movies. And that's why Spencer's Sue Ann, a veterinarian's assistant in flower scrubs and an Anton Chigurh bowl cut, can worm her way into their lives so easily: these kids are just blank slates for her to manipulate as she sees fit. The hunky dude doesn't truly exist until Ma pulls a gun on him and orders him to strip for her own amusement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spencer's casting, and the conspicuous 1980s-set flashbacks where Sue Ann is the only black girl in a sea of white John Hughes faces, will open \u003cem>Ma\u003c/em> up to critical discussion about race in horror.

(The \"Sematary\" spelling was lifted directly from that location.) While living there, King's daughter lost her beloved cat Smucky to the traffic outside, and, utterly bereft, buried him in the pet cemetery.

Those were the movies I watched over and over again as I grew up, and it was always more jarring when horror crept into an otherwise not-scary story.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">\u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pee-wee%27s_Big_Adventure\">\u003ci>Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure\u003c/i>\u003c/a>\u003c/span>\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\u003ci> \u003c/i>is one of the movies I watched again and again. It’s a picaresque journey (as if you don’t already know this) of an iconoclastic man-child’s road trip to recover his lost bicycle. In the end, he finds the bike (spoiler alert!) and invites all of his newfound friends to the drive-in to watch a Hollywood adaptation of his journey. But there’s one person he encounters on the road who isn’t in that final scene, even though she drives her own big rig.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">You know who I’m talking about. You know the story. It started on this very night, ten years ago, on this same stretch of road…\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPMSGTfK4Aw\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">After meeting Large Marge, Pee-Wee gets out of her truck and continues his journey. Plot-wise, you could clip this scene out of the picture and it wouldn’t make much of a difference. But it introduces an underlying feeling of discomfort and dread that’s impossible to shake.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\u003cb>“U Really Got A Hold On Me” -- \u003ci>Sesame Street\u003c/i>\u003c/b>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Speaking of impossible to shake, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sesamestreet.org/\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">\u003ci>Sesame Street\u003c/i>\u003c/span>\u003c/a> is probably the source for more half-remembered, fever dream moments than any other television show in America -- I still can’t make a grocery list without wanting to add \u003cspan class=\"s2\">\u003ci>\u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/Im4GwUD1UY8\">a loaf of bread, a container of milk, and a stick of butter\u003c/a> -- \u003c/i>\u003c/span>but there are few muppets more terrifying than the one that just \u003ci>would not leave Smokey Robinson alone\u003c/i>.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>http://youtu.be/ws_vnXup7so\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">The quiet persistence, the crazy eyes, the black background. Is Smokey trapped in Limbo? Purgatory? Is he \u003ci>still there today? \u003c/i>It all adds up to a barely-anthropomorphized letter U that will not take no for an answer. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\u003cb>Tami & David -- \u003ci>The Real World: Los Angeles\u003c/i>\u003c/b>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">The second season of \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Real_World\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">MTV’s \u003ci>The Real World\u003c/i>\u003c/span>\u003c/a> aired in 1993, and while the first season wasn’t all flowers and sunshine, the Los Angeles cast took the “stop being polite” part of the show’s intro pretty seriously. There was a lot more bickering and a lot more unspoken tension, which peaked in episode six when stand-up comedian David forcibly pulled a blanket off of singer and AIDS care specialist Tami, ultimately resulting in David being evicted from the house.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\u003ci>Trigger Warning:\u003c/i> this is an actual scene between actual people, and it’s not pleasant to watch. The video quality isn’t great, and the audio is worse -- there’s a constant clicking that will drive your blood pressure up. There’s screaming, there’s laughing, and it’s intercut with confessionals of the other housemates saying things like, “It started out as a joke… When she was laying on the floor, she didn’t have time to think about all that. When she was in the bathroom, trying to find something to put on, I think she really had time to think about how much it bothered her.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>http://youtu.be/6pa0pqNDzp0\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">This is scary to watch, even 20+ years later, because it’s a moment of raw emotion and confusion. Most of the other housemates are seen standing and walking around Tami and David as the event unfolds, with most of them doing nothing except smile awkwardly. David winds up hiding in a closet afterward, and housemate Irene, who was a Los Angeles County Deputy Marshall, said, “It sounded like they were messing around, then it sounded serious, then it sounded like they were messing around.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Maybe worst of all, there was no real resolution or cathartic moment here. David was asked to leave, and he did. It remains a hard scene to watch. It’s scariest because it’s hard to understand, \u003ci>what would I have done if I were there? Would I have understood that this wasn’t a joke? \u003c/i>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\u003cb>Michael Skupin Falls in the Fire -- \u003ci>Survivor: The Australian Outback\u003c/i>\u003c/b>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">What \u003ci>do\u003c/i> you do in the moment when things turn from normal to scary? In \u003ca href=\"http://www.cbs.com/shows/survivor/\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">\u003ci>Survivor\u003c/i>’s\u003c/span>\u003c/a> second season in 2001, Michael Skupin was airlifted from the game after he passed out and fell into his tribe’s campfire, burning his hands. The actual fall isn’t seen on camera, but a tensely edited scene reveals the accident’s confusing aftermath.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>http://youtu.be/e3ltfAsU9c4\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">We see a shot of a bird. We hear Skupin’s wordless screams as he holds his hands in front of him. We see him run for the water. He starts to talk -- he starts to \u003ci>babble\u003c/i> -- “Look at these things -- I can’t decide if I should keep trying to \u003ci>bend them or not\u003c/i>. It keeps intensifying -- \u003ci>they’re stiffening up\u003c/i>.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">His tribemates comfort and talk to him, but we also hear Roger whisper to himself, “His hands are \u003ci>bad\u003c/i>,” all underscored by a persistent \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Didgeridoo\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">didgeridoo\u003c/span>\u003c/a>, the creepiest of all … woodwinds? \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Skupin was evacuated and eventually recovered, and he even returned to play again more than ten years later. But I feel like his screams of pain and confusion are still echoing across the Outback.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\u003cb>Pink Elephants on Parade -- \u003ci>Dumbo\u003c/i>\u003c/b>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">How do you make elephants scary in an animated movie about elephants? It’s all about the eyeballs. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>http://youtu.be/-wR8FL_2gwI\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Disney animators in their heyday were masters of warning against the effects of intoxication. Here, Dumbo and Timothy Q. Mouse have accidentally gotten drunk on champagne, resulting in black-eyed, rubber-faced elephants that dance, transform, and hypnotize. Horror sequences are a trademark of the classic Disney period, and this list could be basically be taken over outright \u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/PKlr_dE7u9U\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">by creepy Disney sequences\u003c/span>\u003c/a>, but what makes Pink Elephants a standout is that Dumbo is purely an innocent, and he’s \u003ci>already\u003c/i> suffering from low self-esteem. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\u003cb>Mrs. Brisby Meets the Great Owl -- \u003ci>The Secret of NIMH\u003c/i>\u003c/b>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\u003ci>Scary\u003c/i> doesn’t always mean horror and dread. It can be terrifying to take the first step into a larger world, as Mrs. Brisby (Frisby, if you’re a book-stickler) learns when she meets the Great Owl…\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>http://youtu.be/CCAiKsLLprU\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">...

All Mrs. Brisby wants to do is move into a new house, and this is the cray-cray she has to deal with.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\u003cb>The Air Conditioner’s End -- \u003ci>The Brave Little Toaster\u003c/i>\u003c/b>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Death is a tricky thing to deal with in children’s fiction. It’s sad when \u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/JTZPMJj-X9M\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">Bambi’s mother dies\u003c/span>\u003c/a> (spoiler alert!), but it sends Bambi off on his own adventure of growing up.

The various appliances still believe “The Master” -- a little boy named Rob -- will still come home one day, but the Air Conditioner has a more cynical point of view.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>http://youtu.be/NLJvDadSfns\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Okay … I mean … holy smokes, guys.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">There’s probably a half dozen reasons why this scene is scarier than most slasher movies put together. Fire. Possible suicide. Hope is lost. But maybe worst of all? The Air Conditioner, a very normal and helpful appliance, turns on his friends and \u003ci>blows himself up\u003c/i>.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\u003cb>David’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day -- \u003ci>Six Feet Under\u003c/i>\u003c/b>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Normal things going awry is a major source for terror and tension. HBO’s \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Feet_Under_%28TV_series%29\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">\u003ci>Six Feet Under\u003c/i>\u003c/span>\u003c/a>, for being a show about death, drying, and grief, isn’t very scary -- but then there’s the season four episode “\u003ca href=\"http://www.avclub.com/tvclub/six-feet-under-s-my-dog-206986\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">That’s My Dog\u003c/span>\u003c/a>.” David offers to give a stranger a ride, and it becomes a hinge point in his personal story -- and his life. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Personally, I binge-watched \u003ci>Six Feet Under\u003c/i> after moving, alone, to a new city, so I watched this incredibly stress-inducing episode some lazy Sunday morning, on my iPad, unwilling to get out of bed, unaware that I was getting myself into one of the tensest hours of television I’ve ever seen. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Perhaps endearingly, there are a lot of scenes floating around YouTube of David and his boyfriend Keith, but there aren’t many out-of-context clips of David’s trip through the rabbit hole with Jake, his tormentor. The entire episode is available for purchase, but you’re better off -- as with anything in this list, really -- experiencing “That’s My Dog” as one part of its whole.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>http://youtu.be/8dmguJG5uqc\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\u003cb>Clark Kent Beats Up A Guy -- \u003ci>Superman II\u003c/i>\u003c/b>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Most of the things on this list are intended to be scary or unsettling. This scene, on the other hand, is intended to be a celebratory moment of comeuppance for Truth, Justice, and the American Way.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Early in 1980’s \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman_II\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">\u003ci>Superman II\u003c/i>\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003ci>, \u003c/i>Superman gives up his powers. It’s an overly complicated plot device, but it \u003ci>does\u003c/i> result in an interesting scene where Clark Kent -- for the first time -- gets bullied in a diner and he can’t do anything about it. Clark \u003ci>really is\u003c/i> the helpless weakling he’s always assumed to be. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">But by the end of the movie, the status quo is re-established and he’s Superman again! He is Kal-El, Last Son of Krypton, indisputably the most powerful being on the planet. So what does he do?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>http://youtu.be/1nu3CLQm-SI\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">He goes back to the diner where he was pushed around and, as Clark Kent, thoroughly trashes the bully who pushed him around. He smashes property and shows off his invulnerability. We’re intended to think, \u003ci>Yeah! Take that, bully!\u003c/i> But I remember being kind of creeped out watching this as a kid, and not really knowing why. Seeing it as an adult, I can put a finer point on it: Superman’s not supposed to act this way. \u003ca href=\"http://www.foxnews.com/story/2006/06/13/superman-is-christ-figure-to-some/\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">He’s supposed to turn the other cheek\u003c/span>\u003c/a> and lead by example, not exact petty vengeance on (admittedly deserving) jerks. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">It’s not exactly out of character -- \u003ca href=\"http://superdickery.tumblr.com/\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">Superman has a well documented history of dickery\u003c/span>\u003c/a> -- but it’s still kind of scary.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">\u003cb>I’ll Show You the Life of the Mind -- \u003ci>Barton Fink\u003c/i>\u003c/b>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">“Tell us where the heads are.” The Coen Brothers’ \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barton_Fink\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">\u003ci>Barton Fink\u003c/i>\u003c/span>\u003c/a> is ostensibly the story of a struggling screenwriter in the early days of Hollywood. But more than that, it’s a heat-filled, spring-loaded film of wonderfully increasing tension. Described on YouTube as “Barton Fink -- The Key Scene,” this is where the spring comes unspring, the heat ignites into hellfire, and the dread becomes terror.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>http://youtu.be/Y7gLnyKevR0\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">What makes the scene (and much of the film’s increasing dread) is Charlie, played with rapturous terror by John Goodman. Goodman is capable of playing sweetly adorable, but what’s more terrifying than such a bear racing down a long, burning hallway, demanding that you \u003ci>Look upon me! I’ll show you the life of the mind!\u003c/i>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">Fear comes from many different directions, but at its core, something scares us because it reinforces what we’re already worried about. Death, loneliness, the unknown -- it’s all that much worse when it comes from an unexpected source, or the guise of a beloved character facing an unexpected doom, like that time \u003ca href=\"http://www.retrojunk.com/article/show/417/the-death-of-garfield\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">Garfield was left to die, alone and starving, in an abandoned house\u003c/span>\u003c/a>. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">So this Halloween -- or any time you want to feel a cold chill run up your spine -- don’t just turn to the ghosts and goblins you know are there. Think about at the times you’ve \u003ci>really\u003c/i> felt scared. Real terror comes when you least expect it.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cspan class=\"s1\">(Oh, and one last SPOILER ALERT, for real this time -- if you want to give yourself goosebumps, try reading about \u003ca href=\"http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/The_Pixar_Universe\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">the Pixar Theory\u003c/span>\u003c/a>.

The way Theron’s Wuornos interrogates johns before she kills them is haunting (and sometimes comical).
