Last week we started with a nightmare of a children' show from Erik's younger sister's childhood called
Boobah. The plot, as far as we could tell, was about these colorful, farting aliens who are trying to make sense of earth by creating little scenarios starring characters like Mr. Man, Mrs. Lady, Auntie, Grandmama, Brother, and Sister. In this installment, the humans played jump rope in wild rapture. The whole thing gave us
Teletubbies vibes, which turned out to be dead on as the show was created by the same people who made
Teletubbies. We were also baffled to learn that the show is meant to be an exercise show for toddlers and not just nightmare fuel for anyone over four.
All in all, it was a wild experience that we recommend. Drugs might help (or they might induce a panic attack) but even without them we had a good time.

After that, we watched a short, old horror film called
From Hell It Came about a tribe in the Pacific islands burying a guy as a punishment for a crime only for him to come back as a tree monster. It was pretty boring at first, just following the white scientists there and one misogynist in particular who wants the female scientist to quit sciencing so she can be a good housewife, but once we got the tree monster and his rubbery costume, we were delighted. It wasn't really worth the wait, but at least we got something for our troubles.
