My kid’s appreciation of horror and suspense films has led me to rent a bunch of new horror flicks, including ‘Antrum: The Deadliest Movie Ever Made’ and Kevin Bacon’s tour de force, ‘You Should Have Left’, both of which where quite memorable. They were nothing like the films I enjoyed when I was her age, most of which were a bit embarrassing. My love of terrible slasher movies dates back to the days when my cousin Elwood and I would have to drive down to the creepy video store by the river to rent the likes of ‘Phantasm’ and ‘Return Of The Living Dead,’ but I generally avoid bringing up the subject in polite company. There’s a part of me that worries that people will presume that I’m sort of future spree-killer, or worse, that I’ll have to debate with other folks who love the genre why ‘House Of 1000 Corpses’ was a yard too far for my comfort level. Either way, it’s something I tend to keep mum about to avoid awkwardness, which leads us to today’s furtive query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) should also mention having seen every single episode of ‘Family Guy’, some of them multiple times, and I do enjoy much of it, asking: Which of your favorite bits of pop culture do you find just a bit embarrassing?

Maybe old Godzilla movies. No regrets though.
Nah, those are golden. Especially the ones with Mothra!
