Dad Embarasses Daughter
This video was supposed to be funny -and it is- but it's also sweet. MostUncomfortable said it best.
I'm pretty sure the dad was planning on following her in to school until she skedaddled out of the car so fast.
It was at that moment that Dad realized he had crossed a point of no return in life. His daughter was no longer the little four year old he had brought in to see "Daddy's Work" while building the school. She was no longer the girl at the Elementary School drop-off ramp who asked if there was any way Dad could please walk with her all the way into her classroom because she wasn't sure if she could do it herself.
There comes a point in a parent's life when they drop their child off at school one day, and then never drop them off at school again. This dad now knew that his daughter wished for that day to have come and gone already. This dad knew his days were over of asking his little girl if there was anything interesting going on that day at school.
He knew. And his heart broke. Not in a way that would show outwardly. Just an internal realization of the inevitability of age.
And then she turned and squeaked a tiny "bye".
His world came back into focus. Tears sucked back into their tear ducts. And his heart was healed. He was still her dad, even if she was now a teenager. And who knows? Maybe there will still come one more day in the future where she... "accidentally" misses the bus.

The Return of the Vampire
The 1943 film The Return of the Vampire sees Bela Lugosi resurrected as a vampire named Armand Tesla because Universal held the movie rights to the name Dracula. This one also involves a werewolf and World War II. Happy Halloween!
This TED-Ed Lesson is a Horror Story
You can tell this is a horror story because it features toothy green monsters and is narrated by a skeleton. But as an adult, you should also know that nothing good can come of going a long time without brushing your teeth. Your mother told you that if you didn't brush every day, your teeth would fall out. That really hit home when you turned six and your teeth fell out. But that second batch of teeth have to last a lifetime. Scientists can explain exactly what happens in your mouth to cause unbrushed teeth to fall out, and it's not pretty. Furthermore, rotten teeth and infected gums can affect the rest our bodies as well.
Humanity's Fears

The Skeleton Dance
Walt Disney's First Silly Symphony in 1929 was The Skeleton Dance. It survives better than most of them, and this is the perfect time to show it. You might also be interested in The Story Behind The Skeleton Dance.
The Friendly Ghost
This is the very first cartoon appearance of Casper the Friendly Ghost, from 1945. Lonely Caspar doesn't want to scare people like his fellow ghosts, and he wanders off to make friends. It takes quite a while to find anyone who's not terrified of him. Poor Caspar!
The Witch They Call Black Annis
Black Annis is an English witch who supposedly ate children, which is always a good story to keep your kids from wandering in the woods at night. A written account from 300 years ago said she lived in a cave, was raised by wolves, had sharp claws, and wore a skirt made from human skin. We know the specific area the legend came from, but where is the cave? Could the story of Black Annis come from that of a 15th-century nun named Agnes who lived alone outside her convent? A woman hermit was very unusual, but Agnes seems to have been respected and even revered. However, a couple of hundred years separated those stories, and intervening events may have changed the details greatly to fit new religious narratives. There are alternate theories on the origins of the legend, and Dr. Emily Zarka goes through them to judge their accuracy.
