Horror is in the Eye of the... Beholder?
damehelsing at 12:00AM, April 11, 2021
See what I did there? It’s an image of a Beholder… which normally has one giant eye right in the center of their face/body and the article is titled HORROR (the Beholder is scary looking) is in the EYE of the BEHOLDER? Yeah? No? Ok…
