35 years ago, an underrated writer launched an infamously violent movie franchise: "Child's Play"

Forget Michael Myers and Freddy Krueger. Chucky is Horror’s MVP.

While not as iconic, Chucky can brag about a remarkable string of hits.

...Lots of horror films stink. It’s what makes horror fans great movie fans: they spend a lot of time sorting treasure from tripe, so they tend to have a nose for finding the good stuff and an appreciation for the bad stuff. They don’t ironically love trash. They love trash because it is trash, the same way Oscar the Grouch loves the threadbare sneaker his mother gave him on his birthday. READ MORE FROM INVERSE

- Anonymous 6:47 AM to "I AM STILL REELING FROM WATCHING Killers of the Flower Moon LAST NIGHT": The ‘white supremacist colonial’ narrative, like nearly all historical phenomena, is a result of random historical chance occurrence. The chaotic processes that shape human history favoured the people of an island off the coast of Europe, hitherto insignificant in the bigger human history, to conquer half the planet during the 18th & 19th centuries. The result of that now is that billions of people including you & me think, speak, read, write and even dream in their language through concepts & devices that were created by them. Without their legacy you and I are effectively bereft of our faculties of thinking & communicating. This may sound crude but the reality is that effectively all of us are to a large extent rendered deaf & mute. No?

- Anonymous 9:41 AM to "LIFE IN PICTURES: PEACE 🤲": Us Muslims are ok with Hindus becoming Zoroastrians or Jews becoming Christians & vice versa. Change religion as frequently as you change your undies. Be my guest. But if you even by accident become a Muslim you can’t leave the faith. If you do we want to kill you. If you are an evangelical Christian you need to do everything to get Jews to rebuilt their Second Temple. End of times somehow can’t come if that isn’t done. Even if you are an atheist but of Jewish ancestry you still believe Moses’ Yahweh promised the land of Israel to the Jews.

- Anonymous 5:47 PM to "INDIA IMPLEMENTS CITIZENSHIP LAW OPPOSED BY MUSLIMS BEFORE ELECTION": How do you differentiate an ochlocracy from democracy? There is no defined & fool-proof way to do that. Democracy even by definition is mob rule. Democracy & ochlocracy are one & the same thing. 🤔 No? In democracies like India, Maldives & elsewhere, we are seeing the impairment of the civil process & the eroding of of the purported powers of the entire polity with virtual impunity by the majority mob. India is a democracy. And Indians are 80% Hindus. It is only natural that the Hindu mob would rule that country. We often forget that no Maldivian ever wants to give any space in the Maldives for a non-sunni Muslim. Hindu Indians are simply claiming for themselves that same right they believe is fair & justified. Any thoughts?

- Anonymous 2:11 PM to "MP JABIR AND 2,000 YEARS OF MALDIVES' PROFANITY": We could be mentally retarded if all the thousands of people who sat on those holhuashis by the beach, throughout those 2000 years, mostly thought and talked of one of the most lowest animalistic desires and focused mainly on developing their vocabulary of profane words instead of marvelling, admiring or immersing themselves in the great natural beauty surrounding them. It is a sad situation if we cannot let the beauty and marvels we see around us transform us into remembering or recognising the greatness of their Creator who produced such natural beauty and allow such thoughts to increase our piety and make us refrain from doing what is hated in Islam. If we don't ignore the religious aspect of using profanity, having a language rich in auguraana and admiring who uses it a lot is nothing to be proud about.
