Graphic artist Wayne Barlowe published a book Barlowe's Guide to Fantasy, wherein he depicts various creatures and characters from a wide range of fantasy works by different writers including Clive Barker, Michael Moorcock, Robert Howard and others. At the back of this collection are a group of s...

The scene with Biff playing the radio after Papa Loves Mambo it cuts into a Severe Thunderstorm Warning has been issued by the National Weather Service for Hill Valley area and then it's drowned out by the fight he has with Marty. The problem is it was called the US Weather Bureau and they didn'...

Who are the characters in this picture?

This one I'm relying on the only 2 memories of the episode. I think 3 main characters, a brown haired boy and red haired girl (I forgot the third) would go explore nature or something. The only two episodes I remember is one where they all get itchy/allergic before a performance and the punchline...

In Peter Pan, four of the six Lost Boys are named: Tootles, Nibs, Curly, and Slightly. How did Barrie come up with these names? Were they common nicknames at the time the play was written? "Curly" obviously seems to still be in contemporary use, but the other three sound strange to me.

I have this memory of reading a short story of a dystopian future where the main character was compelled (by law?) to purchase "consumer goods". Upon arriving home he packed the purchased goods into a recycling slot.

I'm looking for a story where there are 3 or 4 main characters in a post-apocalyptic or maybe off-Earth situation. Something is wrong with the air, and so the characters need to share a makeshift ventilator. There's a plot point involving a chemical, a drug, which slows down one's heart rate so t...

In the first book the main character is recruited (?) in a mission to save Earth by an alien AI with immense powers. He absconds with two robots, initially with no personalities, but radically enhanced by the AI. He steals a ship which is modified by the AI for extreme speed in order to intercep...

I have been looking for some information and in the film Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, during one of the fights between Kylo Ren and Rey, when the action takes place in an almost submerged wreckage of the second Death Star, in the background it can be seen what appears to be the sole survivor...

I am trying to figure out a vampires/creatures movie I had watched long back. I do not remember if the creatures shown in the movie were vampires or not. I only remember details from a specific scene of the movie, which I will mention below. The creatures in the movie bleed black. There is a grou...

I remember watching this a few times actually but it was a while back. I remember that the main character was transported to another world while running a track race by the ring his grandpa gave him. The Exposition of this show is like the other world is in peril from an evil person that used dar...

In both the story (iirc) and certainly the Twilight Zone episode, a pivotal scene had some townsfolk contemplating killing Anthony -- I would guess this is one of the very few times on TV in the 1960s the murder of a child was openly discussed. Of course, this was a very dangerous act to think ab...

I think this book dates from the 60s or perhaps 70s. A brief synopsis: In the book a man appears, apparently from the distant future, I remember he had a single name which I think may have also been the title of the book. Very soon he is followed by thousands of people around the world, almost li...

This was a children's or YA novel I read in the 80s or 90s, I think relatively recent at the time. Written in English. Sent in the present day (as was), a girl is fed up with her life and accepts an offer from a woman to replace her with a robot or clone that will do things like go to school for...

Children's novel in English, read late 80s/early 90s, I believe recent at the time and sent in the present. A group of children find a way to make duplicate of objects (this may have involved immersing the object in some sort of mysterious clay or mud where the new one appears). The first object...

Suppose that, as with some of the other founders, a decedent of Slytherin came back to Hogwarts as a ghost. Could they open the Chamber of Secrets?
