Found Footage

When you raised your son on countless bad horror movies, and the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes that ridiculed/celebrated them, and Michael Weldon's The Psychotronic Encyclopedia of Film and The Psychotronic Video Guide, these are the types of texts that you get:

"There's a famous abandoned insane asylum about three hours from here in Waltham, MA.  Want to go down there and make a terrible 'found footage' Netflix movie?"

I made many mistakes as a parent, but this is not one of them.

The golden age MST 3000 with Joel.  "Iowa State College - the high school after high school."

Required reading for anyone who claims to be civilized.

Well, ditto, obviously.
