Actor Fred Savage was once quoted as saying, “We all have a little dark side we keep under wraps.” While it literally doesn’t apply to everyone, many would agree that there is some appeal behind dark and macabre themes presented in a lighthearted way.
The Addams Family is a classic example, and so are these posts from the Nocturnal Creatures Facebook page. All 116,000 followers (and counting) share a liking for all things sinister, and there is no shortage of memes poking fun at life in a rather morbid way.
If this type of humor is right up your alley, you will likely get a kick out of these. Be sure to upvote those that you relate with the most!

Also, hide your black cat-alytic converter from impoverished regions. There was a rash of catalytic convertors being stolen to be ground up (or parts of them to be ground up) and used as a d**g. We don't need to give the orange man actual instances of them eating the pets.

I was actually shocked to find out how expensive carts are. Grocery store I worked at in my teens wouldn’t let me throw out a janky old cart with a busted wheel that couldn’t be fixed because they were $600 each 😅 and that was 15 years ago.
Load More Replies...I like to hand off my cart to another shopper when it's an easy steer/good choice kind of cart. People are always pleased for a referral and for one guy I just handed it to him and said "Purrs like a kitten..." which made him laugh.
If you appreciate dark humor, does that mean you have a dark personality? According to this 2022 study, it could be possible. Research found that people who showed signs of Machiavellianism and psychopathy leaned more towards darker humor like mockery and irony.
To further drive the point, researchers also discovered that Machiavellians may use humor as a manipulation tool while psychopaths use it to pull other people down.
Is it the all encompassing make up that hides not only their true appearance but also their true emotions?
Load More Replies...Never liked clowns. Don't trust anybody who goes to such lengths to hide their inner misery.
However, there is a lighter side to appreciating dark humor. Another study found that people who enjoy a dark kind of humor showed higher IQs. They also reported having “less aggressive tendencies” compared to people who weren’t fans of this bleak brand of comedy.
Nooooo! Don't take your scythe to the beach. Don't you know what salt water does to metal?!?

Now, what about those who love horror films? Apart from the adrenaline brought on by the thrill, what makes people gravitate towards movies that may leave a child traumatized for life?
According to Harvard Business Review, it is also for people who want to gain novel experiences. Movies that center on a zombie attack or hauntings may offer a unique form of escapism–one that sends chills down your spine.

Have you, like, read your own depictions of heaven? Sounds tedious. Give me an electric guitar, the ability to actually play it, and then just toss me into the the other place as it seems like a lot more fun.
*DEEP inhale* If you were immortal then you would see all your loved ones die you would gain then lose loved ones watching everyone dying after millions of years all of humanity would die out and you will be on earth all alone with no entertainment because there would be no internet and most card or board games would rot and get destroyed all tech wouldn't survives the explosion of the sun and you would be floating in the universe for trillions of years until the universe explodes leaving nothing except you, you will be floating around for all eternity. so no thanks! :)
True that! Why would anyone in their right mind want to live forever? I don't want to be on the planet now with trump around.
Ok I must remember this one lmao my house is haunted , n got at least one not so nice one , maybe they could prove useful after all , I need to re paint the ceilings n I can’t climb on ladders anymore this works nicely 🤔😂

HBR also mentioned that horror films allow us to fulfill our curiosities for the “dark side of the human psyche.” With that being said, Fred Savage may be right on the money, after all.
“Observing storylines in which actors must confront the worst parts of themselves serves as a pseudo character study of the darkest parts of the human condition,” an excerpt from the article reads.

That explains it...I just never knew I was a bat. Now it makes total sense.
Have you seen that creepy bat from Australia (maybe, don't quote me) and it's the size of an 7th grade kid? I have so many reasons I am never going Down Under!!!
I must be part bat as well! I had one get tangled in my hair one night while in the pool. I screamed so loud you could see light popping on all over down the hill.
Alright, you're the little furry murder machine that interacts with ghosts, go see what it was and if you have doubts then you have my permission to tear it from this realm and play with it mercilessly (I wouldn't expect any less).
I actually prefer having pets because when something goes bump in the night I can blame it on them 😅 before I got my cats I spent about a year without pets for the first time in my life and I didn’t realize how much noise my apartment makes (built in 1980s out of cardboard and sticks, it seems)
We lost our little bodyguard on Sunday. It's too quiet so next month we are getting another cat.itll be interesting.my lil girl didn't do much cuz of age and pain. A new cat'll be very lively

Yea, I was the kid whose mom would never buy a costume, Home made all the way. Looking back, Good on ya Mom. I would rather be a Hobo, a B*m or a Ninja or sports player than a plastic fantastic superman. Did same with my kid...
My mom was an artist who could sew. I was once Alf, full body suit, better quality than the one on the show. It was 500 degrees in that suit (in Miami), but it was the best costume ever!
Load More Replies...These costumes were sold in boxes with a cellophane front cover. I remember them lining drugstore shelves.
Lol I spent a few years in High Level, Alberta (very far north) and my mum had to design my princess costume over my snowsuit. I looked like the Michelin man wearing a princess dress 😂
I remember those sliders (a tobogan in Spanish)... You could fry an egg on them! Nostalgia...

That commercial was hilarious. He was the devil and she was the year 2020. I think it was for a dating app
I am almost convinced this isn't Tim Curry (Legend, great movie!!) but yeah, this definitely is something I would SO put on a Christmas card!
I've been blessed with a mild summer. 30 C happened once, usually around 20 C. Thank God. I hate summer.
I hate that movie. Girl gets transported to an alternate dimension where she accidentally kills somebody, has the dead person's shoes given to her as a gift (like you do), teams up with some outcasts, and then kills again because everybody *else* describes the odd green woman as "wicked", while singing happy songs about her delusions, only to find out that the big benevolent wizard was actually a lie - yet she never thinks to question if the "wicked" witch was indeed wicked, or merely misunderstood and victimised for being different.
It was written in the year 1900! It was for children! Give it a break. During production? Yes, it was hell. But it’s a beloved classic for a reason.

Sending this one to my friend who had a collision with a bat the other day! Don't worry, she is getting rabies shots now.
She's the one who made Dutch Media because a bat flew between her and her camera and she got parts of it in her mouth? And, sorry to bring it up but that made it news-worthy for us*, she didn't have a health insurance because she lost her job (someting truly important) and then had to pay 18.000$ for the shots? *health insurance is not depending on employment, it is mandatory to have one for everybody.

Apropos of nothing, last night I found out that our new five month old rescue kitten can support his full body weight off the floor by one claw. That claw was embedded in my left thigh at the time. (I was eating a bowl of ice cream, OK?)
That's totally my Mom. I think I was 12 when I realized not all Mom's are into grave rubbings.(NOT robbing, rubbings w paper and charcoal)
We did that too, somewhere around the early 1970s, and it may have been a fad. I do recall the churchyards started to complain about crayon marks and damaged landscaping.

My stepdaughter is 30 and she loves movies like this. Her favorites are the Chucky movies. I think the only reason she likes it so much is because it freaks out her sister.
As a little kid my favourite movies were Disney’s The Lion King and House (1985 horror movie) 😂
