Choosing good roommates is integral to a healthy state of mind. When the world is falling apart, you gotta know that you can always return to a safe, Zen state of mind back home. However, if your roommates end up being batsh*t crazy, then Houston, we have a problem. There is no safe space to return to anymore. The world is psycho, and now so is your home. You will never be at peace. The only place you can go to vent about your crazy living situation is online. Enter the Twitter-sphere. Every week, people take to Twitter to document everything their crazy roommate has been up to lately. Here are their stories, in 140 characters or less. 

Everyone knows the hottest girls are bound to get killed off within the first hour of a horror movie - brownie points if it's right at the peak of a sex scene. But has anyone ever thought about the guys who are the first to go? Twitter user @JBRylah pointed out the number of guys that are easily led to their doom by a sexy siren/vampire/monster/etc in horror movies, and ultimately blamed their dumbassery on how ridiculously horny they are for the woman in question. Below are the horror movies guilty of depicting this hilarious trope. 

With Valentine's day recently out of the way, we've now entered the yearly 8-month limbo before Halloween. The Valloween Lull, as it is popularly called by absolutely no one, is a difficult time during which we languish with neither romance nor terror to stimulate us. So to tide you over, let's talk about a uniquely Valloween-appropriate phenomenon: sex in horror movies. It's a well-documented trope that having sex in a horror film is a surefire way to get killed, especially if you're a woman...unlike in real life, where women NEVER get backlash for their sexual choices. So, gentle reader, grab some tea and a cozy blanket, and let's have look at the sexiest sex scenes just before the murderiest murder scenes on film!

Last week we posted people's responses to a tweet asking them to let their predictive keyboards determine their death in horror movies by typing "In a horror movie, my character dies when" and seeing what their keyboards came up with. Hundreds of our users decided to try this challenge and we've compiled some of the best responses below! Keep 'em coming! 

We've all been victims of autocorrect before - phones can really screw us over when they type something we didn't mean and we press send before we realize what we've done. But what happens when we let predictive text do its thing... on purpose? @SYFY WIRE asked followers to find out how they'd die in a horror movie by typing, "In a horror movie, my character dies when" and use the predictive keyboard text to spell out the rest. The results are hilarious! 

Comics and animation writer @GailSimone challenged people to write a super short scary story. And the results will surprise you. 

Meet Lucia, the unique 3-year-old who decided to change things up from the norm, in a rather interesting way. In a world of superheroes and princess' birthday parties, it's refreshing to see a new theme. Even if that theme is well... terrifying. Lucia's parents Oscar Trujillo and Laura Brown made Lucia's birthday dreams come true. Lucia cousin Andrea Villarreal, who shared the story on Twitter, told My San Antonio, "Her parents did not question it at all, they were very supportive of her wanting this theme, especially because Lucia was very persistent. They had to go out of their way to make the pinata and cake special for the occasion because as you can imagine, you those aren't popular requests."

Are you sure coloring books are made for children? Seems like adults have more an imagination when it comes to coloring... 

Do. Not. Fall. Asleep. Ever.  If you ever find yourself in a horror movie (you never know), these '5 word' tweets might come in handy. 

Hollywood is clearly missing a huge opportunity here: horror movies for toddlers! Just Imagine...
