• Even horror movies can't compare to a very bad nightmare

    I once had a dream as a kid about Go-Bots. I used to love the Go-Bots
    but the one from my dream was weird. I don't know if you remember
    Stax (the robot that turned into a plastic orange semi truck). Well
    this dream version of Stax had a button on the head and when you
    pushed it the face opened up to reveal a crucifix Jesus face (with a
    crown of thorns). This dream scared me so much that I woke up
    everyone in the house after I awoke. Weird........

    The benign object turning into something malicious is a rather common trope in nightmares as well as something that is quite overused in horror movies.

    Still, a crucified Jesus face Stax would not have been as bad as the fever dream which started as some cornball Lady Bugs picnic based on the old Sesame Street segment, and ending with me underground being surrounded by giant evil cockroaches with the
    same general form as those lady bugs.
