    “Hey babe, come over, we can watch a scary movie for Halloween.”

    “What movie?”

    “Event Horizon.”

    “Oh, I’ve never seen it, what’s it about?”

      I’ve been waiting for my kids to be old enough to watch this movie. Once they’re all like 16, I’m just gonna hit them with a casual “hey, let’s watch this old sci-fi movie” and give them no other details. Mwahahaha

        I’ve done something similar…
        “What are you watching?”
        “An old animated movie from my childhood. Just started, want to watch?”
        “Sure, what’s it called?”
        “The Secret of NIMH”

        I still can’t get them to watch The Last Unicorn.

            “Mr. Simpson, this is the most blatant case of false advertising since my suit against the film ‘The Neverending Story’.”

          I actually really loved that movie as a kid, haha. My mom put it on for my nap time. Dark Crystal, on the other hand scared me so badly I still got anxiety looking at the poster until I was 19
