VHS tapes are a horror trope now.
[off topic]
I read a collection of comics from the 1950s. There were stories about Hannibal, Julius Ceasar, Emperor Claudius, and other historical figures. The issue with Civil War stories covered topics like the Emancipation Proclamation. Today we don’t put anything in kids’ media that can’t be sold.
EC titles like ‘Valor,’ and ‘Frontline Combat.’
It’s unfortunate too, because history has a lot of stories that would make for great media. But it seems there is a war on history these days. At least recent history.
You can’t copywrite a “Hannibal” action figure.
Reminds me of an off topic story.
“Fables” was a comic book whose main idea was that the characters from all the fairy tales were living in one neighborhood in Manhattan.
The TV networks like the idea, so they stole it. Twice.
