Krystle: everyone else ignores me, but maybe you can tell me what's so good about this story that people keep voting for it, even against such masterpieces as The Ballad?...Quote:

Fluffy For Life!
Jean... for me, I just love The Crate... its a childhood thing. The story, the comic, the movie... it all plays on those core emotions of simple fear and excitement. And, when I got older and reread it, I found there were things I could still enjoy about it as an adult. It's a simple yet enjoyable short.Quote:

I have been dumbfounded all this time at the sight of it beating good stories, but at least you have given an explanation I can understand (if not relate to).
You never saw Creepshow, Jean?
