GAAAH! Is there no escape?! *curls up into a little ball*

The Scribe's been deflowered!
Don't worry too much, RS. The crawling horror fades after a year or so. In the mean time, read some nice, safe, Ozy and Millie reruns and don't think about fishnets.

Crawling horror? What crawling horror? Is that that a
straight thing?
Oops. Bad Bear. No doughnut.

Mundanes often have a very negative reaction to the Rocky Horror Picture Show, and many take years to recover. Fortunately for people like Random Scribe, the damage is somewhat mitigated by repeated exposure to assorted queer loonies.

Heh... true dat.
Actually, after some Ozy and Millie comics, two good nights' sleep, and more leftover Halloween candy than I'll ever admit to eating, I feel pretty much recovered. I guess that seeing the movie referenced in your comic exactly when I was trying to forget it just sort of pushed me over the edge there...
Ah, well. I guess it's one of those movies you just have to see. And on the bright side, I now know why you wanted to use Tim Curry's voice for "Umlaut House: The Movie." ^^ So it all kinda balances out in the end.
And as far as building up a resistance, I'd say I'm doing pretty well for someone who almost couldn't bring himself to read Umlaut House earlier this year... 8)

was a pretty entertaining movie... ^^ )

I don't know how desensitised I am... the only time I saw the show, I fell asleep halfway through.
On the other hand, I do have a deep and abiding love of The Crystal Maze!

I remember only a few things about the Rocky Horror Picture Show...I saw it last when I was about 12, I think. I also remember that although I didn't get the plot (if it has one), nothing in the movie squicked me at all. I wonder if that's a sign right there? =^-^=

Twelve.
Blimey.

Freaked-out-looking smiley indeed.
Well, I think we can safely say that we've got a pretty complete spectrum of responses to that movie here. Interesting...

By Cernous, I barely remember when I first saw that movie. But I do know one thing: I laughed. It was truely silly to me

I first saw the whole film at college, hosted by the campus GLB group.
...
I wasn't really squicked by anything in it, but damn, I was shocked they put some of it into a movie. And I laughed... I haven't laughed so hard at a movie in a long time.
The Brad/Frankenfurter bedroom scene had me rolling, while inwardly thinking, "How the hell did they get by with that!?"
