Guillermo del Toro

Pop culture lovers the world over have adorned their living spaces with prized relics of their favorite films and TV shows, but they all pale in comparison to the extraordinary and downright macabre contents of the Guillermo del Toro household. Named after a classic Dickens novel, <a href="https://www.lacma.org/art/exhibition/guillermo-del-toro-home-monsters" target="_blank">Bleak House is a living, breathing love letter</a> to the stories, movies, attractions, and memorablia that inspired <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/weird-guillermo-del-toro-facts/jodi-smith" target="_blank">Guillermo del Toro</a> to create the bone-chilling films that made him famous. Every piece of the collection, from the freakishly realistic wax figures down to the original frames of animated classics, was handpicked by del Toro to live in his own personal ecosystem of weirdness.

Which is more frightening? Del Toro&rsquo;s films themselves or his random collection of peculiarities that inspired them? Read on to find out.

There are few families in the world of cinema who have made as much of an amusing and perplexing contribution to pop culture as the Griswolds of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/behind-the-scenes-national-lampoons-vacation/mike-mcgranaghan" target="_blank">National Lampoon&rsquo;s Vacation </a>franchise.

Read on to find out just how Christmas Vacation turned out to be one of the most unlikely success stories in modern movie making, and a cult hit that would change Christmas for years to come.

Entertainment

Let&rsquo;s be honest: There are few places on this Earth more full of personal terror and misery than the places we work. From the tortures of forced small talk at the water cooler to the frightening prospect of reading yet another staff memo, it&rsquo;s no wonder that a few crafty filmmakers decided it was the perfect setting either a <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/workplace-comedy-movies/ranker-film" target="_blank">workplace comedy</a> or&nbsp;a truly terrifying horror film.

Horror movies are designed to take our societal fears and transform them into allegories that can entertain us, and in some cases, even process it like a sick and twisted therapy session. That&rsquo;s why horror films set in the workplace can touch a nerve that your run-of-the-mill haunted house or fantasy world can&rsquo;t quite reach. Read on to see how these horror films turn a character&rsquo;s place of business into a living nightmare.

Rankings, theories, behind-the-scenes stories, and fun facts about the adventures of Indiana Jones, the archaeologist who can find anything—except the inner-strength to conquer his own fear of snakes.

X Never, Ever Marks the Spot

Indiana Jones Franchise

Harrison Ford is an <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/harrison-ford-movies-and-films-and-filmography/reference" target="_blank">action film legend</a> that somehow managed to top the success of his role as space smuggler Han Solo with an even more recognizable role in the span of just a couple of years - Indiana Jones.

Ford isn&#39;t the biggest fan of talking to the press, but when he does, his blunt honesty and carefree attitude make&nbsp;for great storytelling. This especially goes for the times he has shared juicy anecdotes from <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/indiana-jones-trivia-facts/coy-jandreau" target="_blank">behind the scenes</a> of Indiana Jones. From accidental illnesses to brutal injuries&nbsp;to risqu&eacute; wardrobe choices, Ford&#39;s tales from the days of shooting Indy are as intriguing as the film series itself.&nbsp;

New Orleans

New Orleans is one of the oldest cities in the country. In fact, it predates the official founding&nbsp;of the United States altogether. What started as a simple port town teeming with pirates, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/plantation-ghost-stories/amber-fua" target="_blank">trade opportunists</a>, and ladies of the night would eventually become a culturally diverse metropolis like no other, as it has&nbsp;its own fair share of tragic events and dramatic shifts in identity. From old Creole legends to tales of sickness and war, there is scarcely a corner in the French Quarter that doesn&rsquo;t <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/creepy-louisiana-stories-legends/isadora-teich" target="_blank">have a story behind it</a> - and that goes double for the many hotels in the area.

It would be a surprise if the place you choose to rest at after your Big Easy adventures doesn&#39;t&nbsp;have a tragic or otherwise gruesome past tied to it. The question that must be asked each time you book a room is&nbsp;whether your potentially mortally challenged roommate has good or bad intentions during your stay. Read on to learn about some of the most famous haunted domiciles of New Orleans.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze

Change was afoot in the early 1990s. Walls were coming down, Madonna&rsquo;s look was going full Marilyn, and four mutated turtles with jaw-dropping&nbsp;karate skills were taking youth culture by storm. After the huge success of the first live-action <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-Koteas/dp/B001T5BZAO/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=teenage+mutant+ninja+turtles&amp;qid=1560430649&amp;s=movies-tv&amp;sr=1-3" target="_blank">Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles</a> film, Hollywood was ready to crank a sequel out faster than you can say &quot;cowabunga,&quot; but it didn&rsquo;t come without its obstacles. From exhausting set conditions, to clashes with the creators, to questionable collaborations, the creation of <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-2/dp/B008Y7X50I/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=teenage+mutant+ninja+turtles&amp;qid=1560430649&amp;s=movies-tv&amp;sr=1-4" target="_blank">TMNT II: The Secret of the Ooze</a> was a rollercoaster ride that could rival the drama of any Golden Age production.

Home Improvement

We&rsquo;ve seen it done for the likes of&nbsp;Full House,&nbsp;Charmed, and MacGuyver, but what if&nbsp;Home Improvement&nbsp;became the next TV classic to get the reboot treatment? It&rsquo;s hard to believe that it&rsquo;s been 20 years since we last heard Tim &quot;the Tool Man&rdquo; Taylor chuckle his way through a family pickle.

Daenerys Targaryen

It&rsquo;s been a long journey from the warm summer days of early&nbsp;Game of Thrones, and winter is well and truly here for us all. After a prolonged wait that had fans searching for as many&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/game-of-thrones-season-1-recap/ranker-of-thrones" target="_blank">Game of Thrones&nbsp;recaps</a> as they could find, Season 8 is off to a typical GoT&nbsp;start with characters jockeying for power amid the encroaching White Walker threat.

It wouldn&#39;t be Game of Thrones&nbsp;if&nbsp;fans the world over weren&#39;t combing through new episodes frame by frame in order to <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/what-do-spirals-mean-in-game-of-thrones/rebecca-shortall" target="_blank">predict what will happen</a> to their favorite characters, and the Season 8 premiere added fuel to the fire of a particularly juicy&nbsp;new theory about Daenerys Targaryen. While she starts the season allied with the Northerners against the White Walkers, some think she&#39;s fated to lose her humanity become the Night Queen as the aftereffect&nbsp;of her dragon&#39;s getting killed&mdash;then&nbsp;resurrected&mdash;by the Night King. It would be a tragic&nbsp;fate for the Mother of Dragons, but as the previous seven seasons have shown,&nbsp;Game of Thrones rarely gives its characters a happy ending.

New Slang

Surfing

Have you ever found yourself scratching your head when listening to the things surfers say? Surfers are a tight-knit group who use their surfer slang to weed out interlopers in their midst. Not&nbsp;unlike&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/secret-biker-slang/donn-saylor" target="_blank">the slang bikers use</a>,&nbsp;surfers have their&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/prisoner-slang-terms/mariel-loveland" target="_blank">own language and lingo</a>. And while many of these idioms have made their way into mainstream culture thanks to movies and surfer-oriented clothing companies - looking at you Billabong and Quicksilver - there&#39;s&nbsp;still a lot of surfing vocabulary that can sound&nbsp;like gibberish to a landlubber.&nbsp;

Learn these terms so you can&nbsp;speak like a surfer; even if you&#39;re just a kook when you hit the beach, at least you won&#39;t sound like one!

While there may be a lot of changes on the horizon for this year’s cycle, such as a 42-year-old grandmother joining the ranks, there is one ANTM&nbsp;tradition&nbsp;that can and will never die, and that's the tradition of terrible Top Model makeovers.Although the show's models are styled by world class professionals,&nbsp;there’s no denying that <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/antm-where-are-they-now/alexandra-plesa" target="_blank">after 24 cycles</a> there's a clear distinction between good makeovers and bad makeovers on ANTM.

Here's What Happened To The Child Actors From Your Favorite Early '00s Movies

Child Actors From Classic 2000s Movies: Where Are They Now?

Pop Culture

It was the question that plagued every TV fan in the mid-2000s: what happened to Walt on Lost? The character's sudden disappearance sparked conspiracy theories, but the truth behind his absence was depressingly mundane. Malcolm David Kelley was simply among the ranks of child actors who grew up fast.Perhaps it's not surprising that there are so many child actors fired for aging too quickly. After all, it doesn’t take much for Hollywood to decide that a <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/greatest-former-child-stars/carlybobarly" target="_blank">child star</a>'s&nbsp;luster has faded. Their personal lives might take a turn for the worse, or some might experience an unfortunate loss of cuteness once puberty arrives. Sometimes, they're written out of shows or movies because their <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/funniest-kid-characters-in-tv-history/ranker-tv" target="_blank">kid characters</a>&nbsp;aren’t ready to grow up with them. Whatever the reason they were let go, these charming youngsters mysteriously disappeared from the entertainment world as quickly as they entered it.
