We've talked psycho roomies, but this week, we're diving into a whole 'nother ballpark of crazy. Introducing this week's batch of psycho neighbors, fresh off an AskReddit thread. If you thought it can't be that bad since technically these people don't reside in the same house as the psycho, you're oh, so wrong. Psycho neighbors will make their presence know, mark our words. Scroll down for some neighborly horror stories. 

Another week has passed, which means the poor people of Twitter have survived another week living with their psycho roomies against all odds. There are plenty of shady roommates out there that seem to have arrived fresh off the plane from the underworld, and we seriously don't understand how their victims come out unscathed. Maybe if you hide out in your room long enough, they won't know you're home. However, it's more likely that they're psycho enough to wait until you finally creep out of your room so that they can go psycho on you once again. Sigh. Scroll down for this week's crazy roomie tweets. 

Don't children just say the darndest things? It's usually adorable, the way they jumble together sentences that almost make sense. It's amazing how far their imaginations can go too. But sometimes... things can go a little too far. For some reason, probably due to all the horror movies with children as the main characters, kids have the capability of being really creepy without trying. Like borderline terrifying. I don't know why but I don't like it one bit.

People are sharing the creepiest things a child has told them on Reddit, and I will probably be sleeping with the lights on tonight.

Starting a new job can be really stressful. You don't know anyone, you might not be 100% clear on your duties, and it can just feel like everyone is waiting for you to mess up. Not every job starts out like this, but for some reason for every service industry job I've had, that description feels pretty spot on. It can take a while before you see the red flags in your job. You might be exploited for years before you realize, and that's the tea.

Here are some people who just knew day one, "This sh*t ain't for me."

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...
