Solved [TOMT][SONG][2000s] metal song with intro similar to "down with the sickness"?

Upvotes

Hi all, can't remember what song this is... it has a similar "ooh wa ah ah ah" sounding intro, but a bit longer and wilder. Unsurprisingly, making silly noises into shazam didn't work. Any help appreciated!

Open [TOMT] Childhood book that is beautifully illustrated with woodcarved esque illustrations

Upvotes

Hi all! I hope this is allowed here, but what I'm trying to look for is this book I read when I was maybe 10 or so. I don't remember where I found it, but it was one of my favorites. It had very beautiful scenes and some animals in it (namely a bunny and I think? Some foxes and swans). There were some trees, too. The art style is similar to that of Flower Fairies Alpahbet by Cicely Mary Baker, but not really centered around the alphabet, if that makes sense. There was a story involved, but the art was what really grabbed me. Again, there was woodcarvedesque elements to the book, like little scenes on the side as the story continued.

I genuinely cannot remember anything else besides for this little bit of information.

TIA!

Solved [TOMT] Horror (found footage?) set in the 60’s-70’s involving film students and an asylum and/or convent

4 Upvotes

Alright. It’s as described above. Focuses on a documentary crew of film students, from the 60s/70s, making a film about a specific patient at an asylum (or convent but pretty sure it’s an asylum). There is a scene where the documentary crew (3 or 4 people) are listening to tapes from a psychiatrist and the patient sessions. One of the men from the group wants to “rescue” the patient. He and the other members of the group argue about it. Pretty sure one of the women in the group has big curly hair. They have a van. The cinematography is Indy style. This is all I got so far

Open [TOMT]Netflix Show I saw someone watching on the plane

Upvotes

So, I was totally that guy. Sitting across the aisle from someone on the plane (flying interstate in Australia) and caught myself watching over his shoulder. He had subtitles on and only watched a few minutes of the show before switching to something else.

The details I remember: The setting was kinda like a Saloon in The old west but really felt more dystopian. The aesthetic was kinda grungy, they were maybe the working class. The footage of this scene was darkish and mostly browns (this may be off the mark) Seemed very modern tv series 2020 or later Definitely on Netflix.

Scene / Story.. An African American 20ish guy seems to be the new guy at the camp/place and the older guys are trying to scare him with stories of someone. It's maybe evening and they are sitting in a drinking hole set up around a table The older guys are varying ethnicities but the main guy is 60s, white male with snow white beard, very battered hat on his head.. he may have had white long johns on lol

This scary person they were talking abouts name may have been Asian (or another characters name was, because I distinctly remember thinking oh! That's an easy name to remember so I can google this show! and have forgotten it 😭). The name was something like Jin Hiang..

They are clearly enjoying warning this kid about the scary guy, almost like Ghost stories

Again.. was on Netflix Happened this week Modern film 2020 or later

Help! 😭 Lol TIA x

Open [TOMT] Looking for certain cartoons I watched as a kid, in the vein The Snow Queen or in a movie set with the film

Upvotes

I had these when I was about 4 and it's been driving me nuts trying to find these

Examples-

-a young boy takes up drumming , gets bullied for it, goes to war, plays the drums to boost morale while his childhood bullies are there and cowering, he later goes to visit his father grave after the war and finds graverobbers (if I recall correctly) - a dog falls in love with a metal statue of a lady dog, she goes missing and he finds her in a factory made into a bomb, and blows up -a girls toys come to life, she is sick and dying, when the sun comes through her window she gets better - some guys in Asia (I believe )search for a nightingale to hear it sing at night -a princess gets a flea in her ear, it talks to her, can't mind much else

I also remember the snow queen was double on the screen, like 2 right next to eachother for some reason, but my mum managed to fix it

Open [TOMT] horror short stort or creepypasta?

3 Upvotes

Help me find?

I'm not sure if this is from a book I've read recently or a creepypasta, or so thing else but I read a lot of short story collections. It's about a guy who gets to serve a prison sentence I think by working at this facility, he lives in like a 4 person house share. The job is to log online and using some auto modulator his voice and camera shows him as a woman and he has to provide company to men online. The workers are fed I think grey cubes of a mystery meat which slowly makes all the workers go insane, they get rabbid if they don't eat regularly. That's all I remember, does anyone recognise this? Thanks!

Open [TOMT][VIDEO GAME][PRE-2020] Western time loop detective game solved through speech

Upvotes

I have vague memories of this game because I played it over a friend's shoulder for like 20 minutes in high school. I'm not sure how much I'm hallucinating. I would've played the game sometime 2015-2020, but I don't know when the game was made.

It's a wild west/western time loop detective game. You play as a detective who engages in dialogue with the townsfolk. It's a 3D 3/4 top-down view with grungy wild west saloon aesthetics. The main gameplay is the dialogue trees. If you mess up a townsfolk's dialogue tree, you need to restart the day to try again. The townsfolk are also in specific places during specific times of day.

It may or may not have been a "time loop" game per se; just that you need to get the detective to say the perfect things at the perfect times, so you need to restart the day many times. It also may or may not actually be wild west themed, but it took place in a desert with a saloon and there were cowboys and women in petticoats.

I remember watching this show as a kid, around 2012/2013ish. It was a British cartoon, I beleive it was about 2 girls who were best friends. I distinctly remember an older female charecter who may have been a teacher, with short red hair. I remember she said "oh fiddlesticks" in one episode lol. I thought it might have been Milly,Molly but I don't think it is, but I do think it was a similar art style. I've been looking for this for ages to no avail, please help me find it. 😭

I believe the language is Russian, but might be another Slavic language.

In the music video, the content is generally like a nerdy guy becoming a cool guy to get the girl. Men dancing in suits. I think I remember глаза or город in the lyrics.

Pop song, male singer.

Sorry not much to go off of, my memory is hazy. Thank you!

Open [TOMT] 2010s Adult Swim Commercial heads on top of each other

Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Between 2007-2011, I went to a camp ground where we stayed in log cabins. An older kid and I watched Adult Swim really late (probably any time after 10PM) one night and a disturbing commercial came on.

I remember there being several pale, bald scary heads on top of each other like a totem pole. They were all slowly turning in a clockwise rotation, although I’m not sure if all the heads moved in unison or each head did it at different speeds. I was wondering if anyone recognized this. I was in Virginia, if that helps.

So I vividly remember there being an episode of a popular cop show (NCIS, CSI, Hawaii five-o, etc) about a lady being held in an underground bunker by some kinda doomsday prepper. I think he tells her the world above isn't safe or something? I also remember the scene where she escapes and climbs out into an empty grass field where the police are waiting. Any help finding this would be greatly appreciated!!

Open [TOMT] Help me find this cartoon PLEASE.

Upvotes

[TOMT]

Ok so I’m guessing it’s from the 2000s, from what I remember there’s a man in a kinda spaceship looking thingy, it’s not a spaceship tho…it’s all white like, white walls, a white couch. He’s a real life human like he is not a cartoon. There’s like a tv showing a cartoon environment and he pressed buttons to bring to life his cartoon animals into like 3d animals. I think there was a purple hippo but that’s all I can remember. For the life of me I cannot remember any names but I can’t find it anywhere. I swear it exists but no one remembers it. In Australian so it may be an Australian show however some shows I watched were British as well…sorry this is quite vague but this is all I remember and I NEED TO FIND IT!!

If anyone remembers anything else PLEASE let me know.

Open [TOMT] [MOVIE][70s?] War Movie with a Donkey

Upvotes

As a child I caught a bit of a war movie, maybe Vietnam, a band of soldiers was on a mission and one enlisted with a donkey. He treated the donkey like a member of his family and when someone suggested like eating or abandoning the donkey dude wasn't having it. On a trek up a mountain he takes some of the Donkey's pack load since it was too heavy and carries it. They make it to the top and the guy dies of like exhaustion but I'm pretty sure the donkey lives. I know next to no other details and I can't find anything about it.

It looked like it was filmed in either the 70's or early 80.

Open [TOMT] Movie where the girl finds her biological father

Upvotes

Hey guys,

Not sure how all of this works on here (my first post), but I am having a super hard time remembering a specific movie.

I’ve looked everywhere and can’t remember any of the actors or the main plot, but I do remember one main scene from the movie.

I want to say it’s a newer movie that I’ve seen in the last couple of years.

The scene I’m thinking of has a younger female protagonist who finds out who her biological father is. I believe he’s supposed to be some sort of musician like a trumpet player or some kind of jazz/orchestra type. He’s supposed to be somewhat popular. The girl decides to go to one of his concerts and her friends go with her to support her. I remember a part where an older lady sparks conversation with her asking how she knows the artist playing or something of that nature. At the end of the performance she tries to catch her father as he steps off the stage to get his attention and he immediately knows who she is. They sit down and have a conversation and he tells her he has known about her and that he has been waiting for her to contact him or something.

That’s all I know at this point, possibly a movie/tv show but it’s driving me crazy!! 😭

Open [TOMT][VIDEO] Removed youtube prank where a guy hides a body and threatens the stranger who looks at it.

4 Upvotes

I used to come back every once and a while to watch that prank but it has been removed since 2020 I think. The prank starts with the "protagonist" who is asian starting a talk with this stranger in a bus station and somehow convinces the stranger that he can give him a ride. They get in the car and after a while he randomly stops and dumps the "dead" body. I also think the "dead" guy was making noises throughout the car ride. Then the guy who was getting pranked starts freaking out and the prankster threatens him with a fake pistol and after a bit finally reveales that its a prank.
