I was very excited to see the American Reunion movie. I saw American Pie just after college and remembered it was quite funny.
Jim, Michelle, Oz, Heather, Stifler reunite for their high school...
It's like a teeeeeensy, tiiiiiiny, liiittle bitty version of The Hidden. Starring weeensy, itttsy, bittsy liiittle versions of Kyle MacLachlan and Michael Nouri.
Jesus. You know, I haven't seen The Happening, but if one of these popping out of people's eyes was one of the effects...I might be tempted.
The fact that this exists is fucking terrifying.

You know a secret government weapon is being fast tracked for an accidental exposure to a Wisconsion town, thereby causing a world-wide panic, as we speak.

Fixed for clarification.
See...this is why we own all those damn guns. And beer. Beer kills brain cells, right? Can't have your mind taken over if all the brain cells are dead.

Goddam. You had to make those nasty parasites cute didn't you?
Don't listen to her, it's the parasitic worm in her body trying to trick us into thinking they are all cute and innocent instead of terrifying brain-tainting nightmares.
Shit like this is disgusting. I think if I found out I had a giant worm parasite growing inside of me, it wouldn't need to chemically alter my brain to make me kill myself. How the fuck would you ever sleep soundly again after finding something like that out?
While not commonly known, just about every adult human contains with them multiple parasitic hair worms. Debilitating effects, if any, are typically minimal, and generally stem from an unusually sensitive immune system. Unlike tapeworks, or other larger, more damaging parasites, hairworms generally squirm around unnoticed until they lay eggs and die, or eventually burrow into the esophogeal or intestinal tracts and are excreted in fecal matter.
Doctors and medical scientists are aware of the ubiquity of hairworms, but given their relatively benign nature, and the inadvisability and ineffectiveness of wide-scale antibiotic use, the condition is largely ignored. Food safety protocols are only marginally effective, as hair worms are already endemic to the human population, and the eggs are fairly easily transferred by any fluid.
The statistical evidence is overwhelming that if you are an adult living in the United States, you likely have dozens of hair worms writhing, laying eggs, and eating inside you, without it ever causing you a bit of harm. Which doesn't make anyone feel any better.
The Planet Earth jungle episode had a bit on the spore fungi that did this. There was a whole variety of these things that attached specific species of insects as a sort of nature's crowd control. Ants would try to get infected members away from the colonies.
It was creepy as fuck watching the infected freaking out before dying and having the spores burst out of its head.
That's where I've seen this before! I was trying to figure it out last night but couldn't place it. Seeing the jailbreak happen is even more horrifying in HD.
