Before most of my readers were born, there was a suspenseful TV mini-series starring Bette Davis, in her aged time. And a very young Rosanne Arquette, pre-Executioner's Song. The movie was The Dark Secret of Harvest Home. Mmm, the Corn King.
Two stories placed in locales and cultures seemingly bucolic and healthy, where the people are so gosh-darned salt-of-the-earth, so nice.
But then we learn there is a sinister secret beneath the pastoral pleasantness.
You can imagine my shock at seeing this ... this ..... altar .... in Toronto's City Hall.

Suddenly, it all became clear.
Those Canadians, so polite, mild-mannered, gentle, on the surface. Citizens of a country that seems to be in the good graces of all nations.
Who knew Canada was under the dark protection of an alien god which feeds on regular sacrifices of unwitting tourists?
It explains the brains.
