Terror in the Aisles
Terror in the Aisles is a 1984 anthology film starring Donald Pleasance and Nancy Allen narrating a bunch (and I mean a bunch) of horror movie clips from the Seventies and Eighties. or, mostly so. There's a wrap-around segment of them in a theater with a curiously multicultural bunch of moviegoers who are portrayed, weirdly enough, as obnoxious and unlikable. (What were the producers trying to say there?)

Echoes of the Haunted Workplace. Content Warning.
During my senior year, I interned at a retail superstore, dealing with reports and data. The experience was far from smooth. I worked under the direct oversight of the big boss, and whenever he asked for impromptu data exports, my system would freeze, a blank screen confronting me. I explained the system's unresponsiveness to him, but he found it strange. The company's system had always been stable. He came to my desk to check, only to see my computer displaying the required page flawlessly. His expression conveyed disbelief, casting a shadow of doubt upon me.
