Don't Open Until Doomsday

On the night of her marriage in 1929, Mrs. Harvey Kry's husband suddenly disappeared. He made the mistake of unwrapping a gift lableled 'Don't Open Till Doomsday.' The box inside gave off a strange electronic hum, and when Harvey peeked in the tiny window he was consumed by the "DOOMSDAY CREATURE" living in its vast hopeless terrain, a place of timelessness and spacelessness. Thirty-five years later, the aged Mr. Kry waits for another mortal to come look into the box and thus free her husband in exchange. But the creature, whose world of void has been threatened by the existence of our universe, demands its entire destruction including every living thing in it.

Miriam Hopkins did a great job. She reminded me of Bette Davis in "What Every Happened to Baby Jane?"

it looks like a big turd

That is like the point around a black hole where all matter is sucked in. The victims or 'narcissistic supply' are sucked in and cannot escape until the fecal matter's (true narcissist's) attention draws in another victim to be used to extract narcissitic supply. I have heard of narcissist committing suicide (uncreating themselves) when they are completely exposed as to who they are (see Josh Powell).

This is the perfect metaphor for the high level narcissist. The flirtatious, exaggerated Mrs. Kry, as the false self, acts as the 'wingman' or external manipulator 'entrapping false self' personality that lures the unsuspecting 'narcissistic supply' to the box containing the true self, which is represented as a one eyed 'pile of fecal'. Their curiosity finds them sticking their eye in the peep hole (or poop hole) puts them into what some refer to as the event horizon of the narcissist.

I will NEVER buy anything advertised in this way, in which there is an intent to force you to sit through the ad in the beginning, with no option to skip it, lest you miss part of the clip.

@LargeSizedMarge Some kind of Ragtime song.

So if the man saves his daughter the world gets blown up, thus killing them both. Hmmmm. I am confused.
