This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

In seriousness, Thirteen Ghosts is great early 2000s horror trash.

Oh no, it has Monk in it. I can't see Tony Shalhoub as anyone other than Mr. Monk.

I think you mean Fred Kwan

My stupid brain always associates the name Thirteen Ghosts with Venom (2005) and I only realized why just now, when I looked up the latter:

Summary: A group of teenagers fear for their lives in the swamps of Louisiana, chased by Mr. Jangles, a man possessed by 13 evil souls, and now relentless in his pursuit of new victims.

I only saw Venom once when I was way too young and it has its own neural pathway.

Bonus: I found Venom by searching "horror movie truck snake demon" because that's the imagery that automatically pops into my head alongside Thirteen Ghosts. It's the first result.

This is the one where the guy gets cut in half by a glass door and half of him slides down and you see the gore, right?

That moment is seared in my brain. I remember nothing else about that movie.

It is the only good part of the movie, so that checks out.

It really is though. I've watched it multiple times and all the other jump scares are serviceable, but forgettable. The door though, is fantastic.

I’m sorry, I’m very squeamish and don’t want to look this up, but I have to know along what plane he was cut in half, like left to right, front to back, or top to bottom?

He was standing in the doorway and it came in from the sides.

The crushed girl is cool too

It's another movie that Matthew Lillard drools in. That has to also count for something.
