Ten seconds of orange light, a witch’s laugh, and suddenly the whole month had begun.
A fuzzy picture, a local host, and a monster whose zipper you could almost see.
Before algorithms, there were listings, highlighters, arguments, and excellent plans.
Remember a night like this? The show, the commercial, the people in the room. What stayed with you? You don’t need a perfect memory to begin. Write down your memory →
