Photo of Mickey Rourke, probably with more plastic surgery than since I last saw him.

I think the title for most annoying character in a horror film is tied between Texas Chain Saw Massacre’s Franklin and Friday the 13th Part III’s Shelly.

They’re both so annoying it becomes a consideration on whether or not to do a rewatch.

Do we think the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre had anything to do with the decline in hitchhiking…?

Saw this toy or prop and heard Jordan Peele as Star Magic Jackson Junior in the Gremlins 2 Writers Room Sketch from Key and Peele saying β€œA gremlin whose sole purpose is to look stupid as fuck?” And chuckled audibly at the memory of a joke that I’ve heard a hundred times.
