Does anyone actually remember what we used to call that Stay Puft Marshmallow Man back in the day... I was just sitting here thinking about how much pop culture tends to lean on the most ridiculous, over-the-top imagery to get a reaction out of us, and honestly, looking back at some of those classic tropes, it’s almost funny how much we just accept it... Take that iconic giant marshmallow entity from the Ghostbusters flick, for instance. There is something inherently absurd about a massive, sugary, smiling mascot stomping through the streets of New York City like he owns the place, yet it manages to stick in your brain more than half the serious horror icons we see today. It’s that weird blend of childhood nostalgia and pure, unadulterated chaos that really gets under my skin, because you know deep down that if something that big actually showed up in Manhattan, the sheer scale of the panic would be unlike anything we've ever seen... it’s just one of those things that stays with you, no matter how many times you revisit it.

Is he some kind of marshmallow man, or what...?
