Tori's pick for Village of the Damaged month is so scary, that she didn't even show up to review it. She would also probably be terrified of our related episodes: 587: The Wiz, 655: Return to Oz and 1060: Muppets Wizard of Oz. Next week is episode 1100 and we decided to celebrate with a movie that NOBODY was prepared for, Batman Returns!
Welcome to Thor's newest month theme, Village of the Damaged (movies you watched too young). Mr. Monopoly describes this as a movie that has moments too scary for kids, but also the viewer can be asleep the entire time. McFly was scared by this movie at 30 years old, and was actually asleep for most of the talking scenes. We compare this to 768: Alien (1979) and 948: Communion (1989). Next week's topic will be The Wizard of Oz (1939).
This concludes our Monster Mash of Monster TV Episodes. Was man the monster all along? Yes, yes he was. October will continue Thor's Long Halloween with a new month called "Village of the Damaged", beginning with Fire in the Sky (1993).
From the Wikipedia page: The series, described as "a Twilight Zone for kids", centers on the kind of myths and legends that are told as scary campfire or bedtime stories. Every episode always starts with and finishes with the phrase: "This is a true story, and it happened to a friend of a friend of mine." and "Just because they never happened, doesn't mean they ain't true." Tune in THORsday for a special bonus episode!
