"It ain't NASA-sarily so"
Tom over at Freaky Trigger has really been on a roll recently; his most recent piece of excellent writing is this post on, to paraphrase the comments "the invention of badness".
My own example is an old episode of the Ghostbusters cartoon (which gives this post it's title) where they went up to a satellite and found there this huge, monstrous shapeshifting ghost, kind of a spectral version of Tetsuo from the end of Akira. I am quite sure I am over-remembering how creepy it was, but I'm equally sure I'm not going to watch the episode again.
I also have overly spooky memory of The Prisoner, but in a good way.
