Prophet Zacharia Posted September 13, 2019 Share #1 Posted September 13, 2019 Somehow, my wife and I have taken to watching French TV shows on Netflix. Currently watching “The Dark Spot”. This is the third or fourth series we have seen about people being murdered in the woods with supernatural overtones. This one is somewhat “Blair Witch”-like. Are there North American TV shows that you can think of that are similar, or is this a French/Belgian specific phobia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted September 13, 2019 Share #2 Posted September 13, 2019 If you go down in the woods today, you're sure of a big surprise If you go down in the woods today, you'd better go in disguise For every bear that ever there was will gather there for certain Because today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic Every teddy bear who's been good is sure of a treat today There's lots of marvellous things to eat and wonderful games to play Beneath the trees where nobody sees they'll hide and seek as long as they please That's the way the teddy bears have their picnic Picnic time for teddy bears The little teddy bears are having a lovely time today Watch them, catch them unawares and see them picnic on their holiday See them gaily gad about They love to play and shout They never have any cares At six o'clock their mummies and daddies will take them back home to bed Because they're tired little teddy bears If you go down in the woods today, you better not go alone It's lovely down in the woods today, but safer to stay at home For every bear that ever there was will gather there for certain Because today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of feel like Twin Peaks might have had a similar feel to it, but can't remember it that well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really the same thing. I thought of Twin Peaks, but also can’t remember much about the story. The Haunting of Hill House was set at the edge of the forest, but it all occurred inside the house.

Have you tried it? When I was in Holland the thought of it kinda turned me off but it’s good. Actually we mixed mayo & ketchup. My kids eat it that way too. Back in the day in the mess hall you could always tell the soldiers who had done time in Germany as they would put mayo on their fries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because the big bad Germans would invade their country by coming through the forests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zealot Posted September 13, 2019 Share #20 Posted September 13, 2019 There is a French film titled “Le Pacte des Loups” starring starring Samuel Le Bihan and Mark Dacascos, based on the real events surrounding the attacks, which was the director’s attempt to offer a plausible explanation. It’s a fun movie, worth a watch if you get interested in the story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
