In the '90s, I read a book about a princess whose governess was a witch that mind-swapped her and a cat. The governess did this so she could control the princess. The cat who had the princess' mind ran to another kingdom and became the pet of the prince. The main story is the puppet princess comi...

I'm looking for a book I remember loving as a child. I borrowed it from the library several times, I believe between 2000 and 2009, but I imagine it was published a while before this. It was an A4 (I think), full-colour puzzle/game book set in an alien world/planet. There was a running story, I ...

In the series Boo Bitch, we find out that has been killed and has only been present as a ghost for the whole show, with only Erika and Gavin able to see her due to their relation to her unfinished business (along with Gavin's apparent ghost-viewing powers). Apparently, Gia had no friends except ...

I cannot remember the name of a late 1950's-early '60s sci-fi movie where humans enter an (abandoned?) alien ship and discover that the use of tuning forks open the large circular doors between passageways. The doors (I believe) rolled in and out of place.

I am trying to find a manhua or manhwa where the main character is a designer or developer or something. He was working on a game when he fell asleep and the next moment he was in the game. He has many characters and all of them are max level; I think level 100. I can't remember its name; I read ...

I remember watching a TV-Show in a non-kids channel (i don't mean an adult one, but nothing similar to Cartoon Network) where protagonist and enemies could transform using morphing cards. The show didn't have a kids theme like VrTroopers or Genseishin Justirisers. The morphing process was like th...

I recently had a recollection of a short story that I was assigned to read while in an American middle school in the early '80s. Details are scarce sadly but I believe it may have come from a sci-fi anthology geared toward teenagers because I recall having a choice from a number of different sto...

I believe time travelling is now an overused concept in movies and shows. Out of all the concepts of time travel, my question is related to concept of new timeline creation whenever something is changed in the past (Avengers: Endgame) or someone takes a different decision that what was supposed (...

In this short story, two astronauts are exploring an art museum on an abandoned planet. The only living things present are the flies/gnats which swarm outside the museum. They are confused by the art filling the museum, all except one painting at the bottom of the stairway, near the entrance. The...

I'm reasonably sure this was a book series that I read in the 80s. It's set on Earth post alien invasion, the planet is being mined heavily and humans now live a very basic existence. Scenes I remember; an alien installation is destroyed with a missile printed with USAF a human captured by the a...

Some years ago I read a time-travel series that I'd like to find again, but I can't recall the name of it. I've searched repeatedly and found nothing. Here's what I recall: It was about some kind of time-travel-related authority figures: Time Patrol, Time Police, Temporal...Something? I don't ...

According to the title narration of the cartoon Count Duckula (1988), Castle Duckula, home for many centuries to a dreadful dynasty of vicious vampire ducks – The Counts of Duckula. Legend has it that these 'fowl' beings can be destroyed by a stake through the heart or exposure to sunlight. This...

I am looking for a show I watched in Germany as a kid in the early-to-mid 90s on a VHS tape. It was an animated Science-Fiction show (or even movie), not sure if Cartoon or Anime. Here are vague points I remember: The cover on the VHS showed a black spaceship landed on an alien planet. In contra...

Is there a (romantic?) story with being referenced by 2004's The Fairy Godmother, given its habit of referencing various stories, although usually fairy tales, but is this romantic / erotic dream's setting one of the more modern references? She did not often dream, or at least, she did not often...

in Boo, Bitch Gia was still texting Jake W even though she was dead, and how was she connected to Gavin? She told Erika she asked Jake W to prom so how could he not see her?

I still remember a lot of what happened in the manga but still can't figure out the name of the manga. The mc is experienced in using the katana and also doesn't think of criminals as humans. But after getting transferred to another world he talked to the sword and ran across some bandits and kil...

So we have been having a tsunami of multiverse movies in the past one year. But what intrigues me the most is how each film handles the multiverse in their own style. Now here I do want to include movies like Everything Everywhere All At Once but I'll narrow this one down to the MCU. In the MCU w...

I'm looking for a series, of at least two books, about a boy (middle school/high school aged) who goes to a school for monsters. The boy had two hearts, and no one could identify what type of monster he was. It turned out that he was half monster and half angel/monster hunter. The first book focu...

This is a book I read about 16 years ago, and I don't think it was particularly old then. What I recall of the book is that for the most part it was set in the woods of the American Pacific northwest. The protagonist notices that his (ex?) wife is behaving differently and over the course of the b...

When I was about 5 or so (early 80s) my brother bought a comic from a local newsagent. It was black and white (cover possibly in color) and I remember it was a story, set on Earth, it had an invasion of flying jellyfish like creatures that sucked people's faces off (I remember one comic panel whe...

This is a tip of the tongue thing. It was either a movie or a TV series that I watched within the last 5 years. There are these Teletubby like characters, I think under the control of a major corporation. I want to say that they are all colors of red and purple. Much like the teletubbies, they ap...

In her introductory scene in the Little Mermaid, Ursula speaks of having once lived in Triton's palace before being exiled from it- is there any material that details her time there and the reason for her banishment?

Does anyone know a reverse harem manhwa where a girls from Earth are summoned to another world because the other world does not have any females? Girls give the guys mana by having ***. It's not a hentai manhwa though. It's been a while since I read it and I can't remember the title.

In The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, why did Sam pity Karli Morganthau so much that he failed to stop her? Before you talk about his character and morals, someone can both feel pity for someone, and still be able to kill them if they are a threat. In the show, Sam keeps trying to think there is ...

Never mind the fact that it makes for a good (and nerve-wrecking, in my case) plot point, but why did the hobbit feel the need to take this drastic step? Yes, I know that he has some sort of honour guilt for indirectly having caused Boromir's death by being protected by the same, but surely he wo...

If there was blood on the wall of both the flash and reverse flash why wasnt Wells identified?

A short story, found in a magazine or anthology sometime definitely before mid 1980s, but I think I read it in the 1970s. The protagonist is dying but manages to repair a machine before he does so, in order that the girl he's met can live. He collapses but wakes to find himself alive — the girl e...

I need your help to find a specific movie for my best friend. As a child somewhere around the end of the 80's or the beginning of the 90's he saw a certain scene on TV that scared the hell out of him back then and he still remembers it to this day. Unfortunately he doesn't know what movie or TV m...

I'm looking for a short story that creeped me out as a kid. It involves alien dolls, which are sold to humans as souvenirs but are designed to inject a deadly virus into any nearby human, allowing the aliens to invade Earth. I remember that as the aliens triumphantly invade the devastated Earth t...

The acknowledgments in The Graveyard Book mention an "enormous debt" to The Jungle Book. What does Gaiman mean by this?

So I'm not a very big fan of marvel cinematic universe, but I occasionally watched some films and shows here and there. I recall that first couple of movies I watched were iron man trilogy, one bout captain America and two of the first Thor movies. I really enjoyed the movies, and especially by t...
