Read/watch/listen to/absorb all the horror fiction you can get your hands on.

After reading a certain horror story, I went two days without sleep without even trying!
Or rather, with lots of trying. To sleep.
It was actually not very fun.

I used to drink nothing but Sprite, but recently switched over to 100% unsweetened fruit juice instead.
I've taken to watering it down, about 2/3 juice to 1/3 water, both to make it go farther and because the juice I like is pretty intense.

Plain water would obviously be better in most cases, but the tap water around here is disgusting, and buying bottled water in large quantities makes me feel like I'm being scammed.

I'm also a big fan of fruity herbal teas. They're nutritionally identical to water, only without the sewer-taste!

Huh, I was on the fence about whether to go for CitiesXL 2011 or not.
Until I noticed it not only has Securom, but also a 5-machine activation limit.
Woowww.

It sure is considerate of folks to keep making my decisions easy for me. :/

Well... I was thinking more along the lines of sound effects and/or voice clips than music.

People were still setting off large-scale fireworks for Canada Day on the 2nd. During a thunderstorm.

I watched both through my bedroom window. There'd be a bunch of fancy fireworks, and then the storm would go "oh yeah?" and do some sky-spanning lightning bolts overhead. Back and forth for half an hour or so.

So cool.

EDIT: gah double post

My Night Creature adventurer wants to know if he fears the night.

So do my future lycanthrope adventurers, come next version.

The purpose of this thread is for people to help people identify stuff they encountered in the distant past but can't remember the name or where they saw it. It will probably involve a lot of misremembered details and vague descriptions!
I'm going to rashly assume I'm not the only one who has these.


I have two remembered scenes/episodes, both from live-action shows that were on YTV, probably in the 90's.
The first one I remember clearly because it traumatized me at the time. In it, some people had invented a helmet that allowed people to pass through solid walls. They demonstrated it on a dog. Apparently it didn't work properly if you were thinking/smart, and they demonstrated this by showing off a horrifying series of walls with stone people reaching desperately out of them. The main character somehow ended up using it at some point and almost got stuck in the wall, having to clear his mind to make it through.
I can remember all that, but have no idea what show it was.

The second is from a friend, though I have vague memories of it as well. Apparently it involved a fox which had glass eyes, and had to eat lemons(?) from a special place in order to gain real ones. Or something.
I thought it was an episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark, but they're pretty sure it's not.
EDIT: Found it!  It was Round the Twist

Anyone have a clue?
