This was a movie or maybe TV show I remember seeing as a kid - probably in the 1980s, very late 1970s at the earliest. (The film/show itself could be older) The detail I remember somewhat clearly is that there was an "amulet" which had some kind of evil influence or maybe mind controlling power....

It's a zombie movie, but they are also making a zombie movie. Then real zombies come out.

Why not use matter eating curse that feeds on dementors, and death eaters? Like a back hole that not even light can escape.

Various mages are seen to have the ability to create portals for transport. It seems that Yennefer is particularly talented, but her ex-boyfriend also was able to do it, and the assassin that was chasing Yennefer seemed as adept with it as she was. Both of them were able to transport themselves o...

Can anyone please tell me where to find this fanfic, I think the author, tuckerpuppy(harleyD) might have deleted it from all previous platforms

I’ve been looking for a certain book now for at least 5 years. It was a hardcover edition, with a mostly grey cover and a girl with an orange cat sitting. the book’s setting was in an apocalypse, or post apocalyptic setting. — the story was about a girl, or a child, who could telepathically comm...

Looking for the name of a movie, post 2000, set in Europe (not English language), where a group of people camping in the wilderness are mysteriously killed off one-by-one. At one point a guy says someone will "drown in the rain". The others find him dead the next morning in a cave - he is lying f...

In A New Hope it's clear that the Death Star has an atmosphere around it. Explosions near its surface result in fireballs indicating oxygen, and ships show clear signs of being affected by drag (air resistance). They need to keep their engines running to maintain speed and when hit immediately fa...

The Dopple claimed, after taking the form of Mousesack, that everything Mousesack had known belonged to them. And indeed, Dopple-Mousesack displayed knowledge of certain facts, such as that Mousesack had intended to take Ciri to Geralt. However, when Ciri confronted the Dopple in the form of Mous...

The main character kills the Demon Lord at last but is forced to do it again as his evaluation comes to be F. He killed his own friends because they were really slow. And he is evaluated by the God or someone who tells him that he is not Ideal Hero, so he should start again, sending him back in ...

The Ancient One is a bald woman. Out-of-universe, it's probably because she's based on a bald male character. But... Question: Is there an in-universe explanation as to why The Ancient One is bald? Perhaps she stopped growing hair for some reason (although she still has eyebrows), e.g., becau...

In The Last Jedi Rey and Kylo have a tug of war over the old Skywalker lightsaber, was Anakin's, then Luke's (who lost it), then Maz gave it Rey etc. However, in The Rise of Skywalker the lightsaber is suddenly rebuilt and working again with no explanation. As f...

In many different modern Fantasy settings, Dark Elves share some common traits, and can be considered to be an archetype of sorts from which each setting adapt some features to better fit in the fictional world. Just as examples, some of these traits, which can even not be present in a single pa...

It is a cartoon movie. 2 people (along with a pet) go to a new place where those people think of our 2 people as gods. All I remember is (at last) soccer-like match, the goal is like a basketball ring, but the ring is perpendicular to the ground. Our 2 people win the match with the help of thei...

Reading the synopsis of Frankenstein Conquers the World, it involves a feral child who was affected by the bombing of Hiroshima. (It really sounds kind of intriguing despite apparently goofy aspects and production values.) Although earlier movies had "atomic" monsters I wonder if this was the fi...

In this answer on Movies SE, there is a quote : I underwent the usual mutation there, through the Trial of Grasses, and then hormones, herbs, viral infections. And then through them all again. And again, to the bitter end. Apparently, I took the changes unusually well; I was only ill briefly....

There is a satirical phrase, "Everything not forbidden is compulsory," which seems to have been a part of popular culture (in varied form) in the English-speaking world in the early 20th century. It was later used by Murray Gell-Mann as a tongue-in-cheek way of formulating a fundamental principle...

During the DS9 series the Changling/Dominion society becomes a key part of the narrative. I have been trying to look online and while I can see quotes about how Odo was written to take on the role of Data and Spock, a non human looking in on human society. I can’t find anything that explains when...

Over on rec.arts.sf.written this question has been asked with no answer forthcoming. Anyone? I’m looking for a story ID. I read it many years ago, and it wasn’t new then. Basic plot: we have a wildly, wildly, WILDLY popular writer of religious songs who isn’t particularly religious hers...

Over on rec.arts.sf.written, this YASID has been asked twice, with no answer. Anyone? Do you know this book? It's a paperback book I had in the mid-60s...about two (eventually) physically similar guys, from two completely different environments, who trade places for a month or two. T...
