That’s weird, I’d swear I fixed it to “It’s what we’re all thinking,” but now it’s wrong again? AND I can’t fix it? Literally I fixed it and refreshed it and it was fine? And now this? Truly spooky season begins.
@mossygreen I thought I saw it correct earlier. Then again for some reason some features of Meh have stopped working under the Pale Moon browser so who knows.
@yakkoTDI It was correct, then reverted, then was fixed by staff, then reverted, then mysteriously was correct for awhile, and now isn’t anymore. I said it. Haunted.
@njfan@yakkoTDI But but but, what other media experience gives you John Ritter, Harry Anderson, Richard Thomas, Tim Reid, Richard Masur AND Annette O’Toole, onscreen all at once?!
@njfan@yakkoTDI Read the book - OK, but not among my favorite King novels. Watched the miniseries - meh. Saw a few scenes of the movie (movies?) but didn’t bother watching the whole thing.
It always bugged me that King had two distinct, separate “evil alien” infestations in two small Maine towns a few miles apart - It and The Tommyknockers (and one of the stories made passing mention of the other).
@macromeh@njfan@yakkoTDI You know, I read 2/3, 3/4 of IT when it came out, before I got bored and stopped. A year or so later I was talking about it with a girl who was like, Holy shit you stopped just before it got good! And years later I read about that scene (obviously not included in the miniseries) and thought, did she mean the sewer orgy?
@macromeh@mossygreen@yakkoTDI yes. I was surprised since the oldest participant was fourteen or fifteen. I won’t spoil too much but two things: (1) who initiated it, will surprise you, (2) not exactly an orgy, more like a .
@macromeh@njfan@yakkoTDI It is one of my least favorite King books. I am several years behind on the newer King works.
I kind of liked the books referring to other books until the last couple books of the Dark Tower. He tried too hard to connect everything for no good reason in my opinion.
I have not decided if I am going to go back and reread the older books or start where I got sidetracked reading other authors.
@njfan@speediedelivery@yakkoTDI I enjoyed the first several books of the Dark Tower series. I soldiered through the rest of them, but enjoyed each one less and less as I went along. I had already guessed how the saga would end after the first few chapters of the final book.
I read pretty much everything King wrote up through Duma Key (2008). Since then, I’ve read The Dark Tower and the Mr. Mercedes trilogy, but nothing else. His later stuff just doesn’t seem as engaging.
Now, I read mostly Dean Koontz books when I want something of a similar vein.
@macromeh@njfan@yakkoTDI I tried DT 1 several times and quit until I skipped ahead and like the next 3. The last 2 I didn’t like the way they were going. I did go back and finish the first and it was better with more information about what was happening.
I quit reading King after a couple in a row I didn’t like. I went back and read a few since but not all. Koontz I like but it seemed like they were getting similar. I am way behind on his books too. I need more time to read.
@njfan@speediedelivery@yakkoTDI You might enjoy the Jane Hawk series by Koontz. It is a 5 book series that features the title kick-ass heroine.
And his Intensity is a wild ride that takes off in the first few pages and doesn’t slow down until the end.
But, yeah, most of his villain characters come from the same mold.
Update about actual planned subject for this page, which was when will Spirit Halloween open?!:
The empty storefront near my job where the Spirit Halloween has been the past few years FINALLY has storage pods blocking the parking in front, which means they are definitely opening. I was getting worried (no movement, no window posters…).

@mossygreen
Looks correct to me…
@chienfou IT’S HAUNTED.
@mossygreen I thought I saw it correct earlier. Then again for some reason some features of Meh have stopped working under the Pale Moon browser so who knows.

I don’t know, should I repost this with an actual heading?
Is It about:
It
or It
or possibly IT?
@rockblossom Yes.
@rockblossom I don’t see a second image.
@Kyeh It must be ghosting you.
@rockblossom I was wondering if it’s this:
@Kyeh That’s definitely It.
@rockblossom
Aha! But is it the same It?
@rockblossom Oh, and now I can see It! A most wonderful It. This thread is haunted.
@Kyeh @rockblossom Who’s on first?
@ircon96 @rockblossom
IT.
@blaineg I should have tried turning it off and on again in the first place.
Has anyone read the book by Stephen King? That was crazy…and I am not talking about the clown.
@njfan Great book and I refuse to watch the movies or the mini series because there is no way they can do it justice.

@macromeh @yakkoTDI did King’s inclusion of a friendship orgy bother you?

@mossygreen @njfan @yakkoTDI I’m no prude, but I gotta say it seemed kind of gratuitous. I’m not sure what, if anything, it added to the story.
@macromeh @mossygreen @njfan @yakkoTDI It bothered my teenaged daughter. A lot. I’m sorry I didn’t remember that part from way back and warn her.

@Kyeh @werehatrack I love Michael Palin so much.
@Kyeh @mossygreen @werehatrack
No you don’t…
@macromeh @mossygreen @werehatrack
Hey, @mike808!
@Kyeh @macromeh @werehatrack I most definitely DO.

Reviving this thread because evidently Home Depot already has its latest decor for sale. I don’t decorate for Halloween but if I did (and could afford it) I’d want THIS!
