Skeleton Crew, 1986 ed, Stephen King
“The Monkey” is pretty much the origin of that tired joke about “Stephen King just takes an ordinary thing, makes it evil, and writes a book.”
Here’s the thing…it fucking works in “The Monkey.”

- thegreatwormspirit:
  
  Laserdisc cover for the first DuckTales story arc/pilot.
  
  The Japanese release of the show went by a different name which roughly translates to Naughty Duck Dream Adventure. Yes. Despite that DuckTales is still shouted in English in the Japanese opening theme making the change all the more confounding. Wait, it gets better though.
  
  I’m assuming they later realized how dumb that title sounded and simply re-branded the series as ダックテイルズ or Duck Tales as it should have been in the first place. So what gives then with the initial title change? I guess we’ll never really know.

Any comment containing a variation of "you forgot" or "uhm, actually" will be deleted and your ISP will go to the comment black-list.

Feel free to reblog pictures on your Tumblr, but would it kill you to make sure to at least add a "via" link back to the original?

If, God forbid, you spot a typo, the "contact" button is right up there and you can e-mail me about it, instead of complaining about it in the comments.
