Literally got up at 3am last night for wee, in the dark. Saw myself in the mirror and thought "Don't do it. Just go back to bed..."

Seriously though it never made sense to me that everyone is super terrified of Bloody Mary. She's just a racist queen from the middle ages, didn't even personally execute anyone. You think you can't fight her ghost if she did try to attack you? Without her medieval army and nobles she's pretty powerless (actually, she was deposed and executed, which shows just how powerless monarchs are when the court decides to replace them).

This is true. But the What We Do In the Shadows episode with Bloody Mary is wonderful.

I always think of the bloody mary from that TellTale game

I don’t get it. Anyone care to explain?

Basically an incantation for a childhood horror tale.

Saying "Bloody Mary" 3x will call upon the spirit of the queen who bathe in the blood of youth (well, one variant of it, think Beetlejuice if you watched it before)

Booby Mary!

A child's... game? Kids often at school or sleep overs will spread and test the rumor of summoning Bloody Mary. In a dark room, while looking at your reflection, you say "Bloody Mary," three times.

The low light of the room and the human brain's tendency to use short cuts makes your eyes perceive a distorted reflection of yourself after you stare at the reflection for a while.

If you're on acid, maybe.

Nah really, try it out, the brain can do some funky stuff in lowlight conditions while staring at one spot for an extended period of time.

Man that bartender is an idiot - all he needs is tomato juice, vodka, celery, salt, pepper, and Worcester sauce :(

You’re forgetting the horrifying mirror-murder!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Ah, with the bees and the hook? ;)

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

Oh shit, he dead! He dead for sho!
