Re-Watching Child's Play (1988)!
I'm not so sure the doll is at fault. Surely the manufacturer has a detailed list of things that you need to keep the doll away from! Knives, hammers (real or toy), scissors, matches, liquor, lighters, guns, cleaning supplies, poison and a laundry list of others.

Rose The Hat--The Villainous Tanka
Doctor Sleep (2019)
A strong Cult Leader,
Feeds on the ‘steam’ of children,
Torture and kill kids,
Cultist almost immortal,
Wants strongest girl they’ve seen yet!

Re-Watching Rodan (1956)!
Even in school I always wondered what ancient supersonic birds would aim their poop at since there were no freshly washed cars driving about! It's one of the greatest mysteries of the ages that only time travel would be able to answer!

Re-Watching Pandamonium (2020)!
It seems like many masked killers are either running out of ideas and coming up with a mask unique & different from anyone else, or there is a deeply tragic reason that they chose the mask. Be sympathetic when they stalk you, its 50/50 they'll want to talk about it!

Re-Watching Dracula (1931) (Spanish Version)!
It's nice that Dracula has not wasted his eternal life and instead has worked on bettering at least parts of himself. Taking the time to learn the languages of the world. Of course, he likely wouldn't have been successful in only knowing Transylvanian.

Re-Watching Humanoids from the Deep (1980)!
I am guessing that for salmon to go through their annual effort of swimming upstream against river currents in order to mate, that it has to be their B-day, Salmon X-mas, or St. Salmontines Day! Because the chance to mate just doesn't happen that often!

Re-Watching The Legend of Hell House (1973)!
Ghosts must love it when experts come to their stomping grounds. Whether it be scientists, mediums, or religious folks. They scare just as easy, but struggle so hard to rationalize what is happening to defend their narrative, they go mad before fleeing!

Re-Watching Harvest of Fear (2004)!
Is a killer, recreating crimes from 20-years ago a copy-cat killer, or a re-make killer? If the crimes are done by the same killer, are they considered re-runs? Do the new deaths count for less as some of the credit goes to the killer of the original crimes?

Sometimes love falls out of the marriage and it just dies. Sometimes in a marriage a person dies but the marriage stays together. Some marriages even go beyond death, but I'm pretty sure they aren't supposed to, otherwise the vows would specifically mention the eternal bond of necrophilia.

Re-Watching Stir of Echoes 2: The Homecoming (2007)!
I don't understand ghosts...If I were murdered & remained a ghost, I would haunt & torment my killer. Unless it's some cosmic afterlife rule that you cannot haunt the person who did it. That would mean that the afterlife, like life, is not fair!

Re-Watching Stir of Echoes (1999)!
Ghosts need to take some time and learn to communicate with the living. It's quite likely that people would be willing to help them without the nightmares, jump scares, and the constant threat to the living, their families, friends & loved ones!

Re-Watching Rats: Night of Terror (1984)!
I think we need to start eating rats now. Why wait until the apocalypse and it's the only thing left? By planning ahead, we'll have good recipes ready, know exactly what temperature & how long to cook them & won't be grossed out by the idea when we need it!

I can't decide if facing an alien monster in the public pool would be better or worse than sharing the pool with the human monsters that use it as a giant free-range toilet. Regardless, I'd rather not face either monster in the pool itself. What you can't see in the water seems far more dangerous!

Re-Watching Soulkeeper (2001)!

How many procrastinators would perish if their city was attacked by a giant turtle? I would guess most people would hear the alarms, but think they still had at least 3 hours before the monster would arrive! They'd all finish their game or take a nap.

The problem with public transportation is that I can never tell if the people don't want you to sit near them, or if they are overly excited that you might. I'm also torn about whether I want to sit by anyone either! Did I interrupt something or do they expect me to perform? It's way too confusing!
