Joe Simons @joesimons.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Like, I can't even remember how old I was, but I can clearly remember a scene with a policeman firing a pistol at the monster and that doing absolutely nothing to stop it 100
Joe Simons @joesimons.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I don't even know what movie it was. TV was on at my Gran's house, and they were showing some old black-and-white monster movie - like Godzilla but in the US. Nothing "scary", ropey special effects, mid-afternoon on a family channel. But the powerlessness of the adults in it terrified me. 100
