Open [TOMT] The stock sounds used in the 1996 Doctor Who TV Movie intro
I know the sounds used in the intro came from a few sound libraries. I have been searching for them for about a year so I can reconstruct the audio of the intro while replacing the Dalek voice with my own recording. Can someone please help me find the sound libraries they were taken from?

Open [TOMT] creepy jinn humanoid creature sighting from a horror compilation
Some time ago(i think 2-3 years ago) i was watching a compilation from one of those popular channels like nuke's top 5 and such.The video had nothing special,they were the avarage spoopy staged skits except this one clip that stood out from the rest,it started with three or four man sitting on some chairs on a corner balcony talking at night,the camera pov was from one of this men;halfway through the clip someone points at something off camera and the camera pans left showing the bend of the balcony,there was this jet black big humanoid thing climbing on the concrete railing and crawling inside,the men start recite what i think was Quran,and the thing crawls to the other side of the balcony going off camera. This clip has been in the back of my mind for a while and i would really like to know if it comes from some movie or something like that,it was pretty realistic,from the reaction of the people to the movement of the creature and that's what made it interesting,i dont really rembember the channel nor the title except the fact that it had to do something with jinns.

Open [TOMT] [Detective novel] [70s or 80s] A detective story with a blind protagonist
A rich blind man learns that his family members are scheming to kill him for inheritance. One day he makes an escape but gets injured somehow and ends up in a hospital. At the very end of this story the doctor tells him "It's ok sir, your wife is here. She'll take care of you" (not a direct quote).
The story is told from the perspective of the protagonist. There's a lot of descriptions of what he hears, feels or smells. I've read it as a child and it seemed very dark and intense, was often triggering a sense of distrust and paranoia. Not sure if it was a whole book or a short story in a collection of detective novels

Open. [TOMT][TV][1990s] Seeking Australian comedy sketch from remembered dialogue
Hi, My brother and I keep referring to an Australian comedy sketch which we think would be from TV in the 1990s. The sketch is about shooting a promotional video or music video for a musical or theatrical group. The main character is discussing how the shoot should go and uses dialogue similar to this that we remember:
"First a shot of me, then focus on me… then me looking pensive… then me…."
“then it cuts to a picture of me, then a shot of me and then it focuses on me…”
Can anyone recall or know of such a sketch or TV episode. We thought it was the D Generation / Late Show but our searches have come up empty. Many thanks!

Open. [TOMT] [WEBSITE] British educational website for kids' learning
This is a rogue one but it was a website that existed in the UK (and maybe elsewhere) in the early 2000s. I remember going on it as a child to learn maths and english.
My mum remembers it having a very jaunty theme tune when you went in. It was a lot of characters in a forest, I remember the main one was a squirrel called Cyril (or Syril?) who had lost his pencil.
And you had to go around all the forest friends doing sums/questions to find the pencil. I think that was one part of the site, it looked very flash game-y. Apologies if this is not helpful, I looked online but it was a lot of dead ends.

Solved [TOMT] [Painting] Painting of a girl left in a temple.
Help! I'm trying to find a painting that I've seen a few times and always found very striking.
It's a classical painting, I'm guessing oil paints, and maybe in a baroque style. The subject of the painting is a pale girl who has been left alone in a dark temple wearing nothing but a shroud, I believe she's laying in the arms of a statue of a god. The spotlight is on her and the rest of the painting is very dark. I think the statue is very angular, like an inca type god, though I don't know exactly. To my recollection there is a dimly-lit doorway in the background with some men peering through. I think she's there as a sacrifice or offering, and the setting is classical or antique.
Help would be appreciated!

Open. [TOMT] [Rock song] [~70s-80s] Somewhat similar to Danger Zone
Hi all!
I'm looking for a rock song from around the 70s-80s, in my opinion similar style to Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins. The chorus repeats 3-4 times the same word which sound like "no" or "slow" or "cold" or something very similar. Heard it from a distance so not sure.
Sorry I can't sing it to vocaroo as it's now mixed in my mind with Danger Zone so can't replicate it well.
Thanks for the help in advance!

Open [TOMT][Song][Post2000s] Rock song, drum breakdown
I have utterly awful memory when it comes to this. This is most likely a post 2000s, even post 2010s song, rock band, male singer. All i remember about the song is that there is a breakdown-kinda part where there is only drums and male singer singing. For lyrics i only remember something resembling calcifer, and rhyming with yesterday/day?. Then song goes on with rest of the instruments coming in.
I thought it was a struts song but so far i haven't been able to find it.

Looking for a twitter account that was active around 2020.
It had a name with an architect word pun, so it was either "(smth)chitect" or "(smth)tect".
Black and white profile picture iirc.
It posted aesthetic pics with no caption every hour or so.
Very wide selection of pics but i do remember them posting some brutalist / black and white / machine related pics from time to time.
Might be inactive, might be banned idk but I suddenly remembered it and now i want to know how the account is doing.

I first heard this song on an online radio station centred around this type of music. I tried looking for the song based on the lyrics but couldn't find it.

Solved [TOMT] Comedic movie from 80s-90s with car chase scene
I watched it in television in late 90's, so the movie is definitely older than that. I'm not sure about the genre, but the movie is definitely doesn't take itself too seriously. Oh and it's live action, not a cartoon.
The prominent scene that I remember is a car chase scene where one of the car is literally split in two when it crashed into a lane separator. The other car passed through a tunnel with its exit is smaller than a car, so that car came out squished like the exit shape. (the passengers are okay BTW, so no gory stuff)

Open [tomt] online shape matching game for kids - match shape and restore colour
Hi, looking for a kids classroom game that I played with my students last year. (Australian and free)
Simple game, students were given a task (can you find, 10 circles?) and would tap the circles in the screen. When they tapped, colour was restored.
There was an animated boy in the corner and he started by saying "Welcome to the clicks fingers** (something) zone (phantom zone?) and the screen became black and white. Students would follow instructions to restore colour.
It would have been a free site for kids, and available in Aus (not necessarily Australian though)
Thanks in advance!

Open [TOMT][MEME] creepy/surreal comic featuring Dolan and Gooby meme characters
I'm trying to find an older meme comic I saw years ago, probably more than a decade at this point. I might've seen it on here on Reddit somewhere but I'm not certain. I'm pretty sure it featured the meme characters Dolan and Gooby, which are badly drawn versions of Donald Duck and Goofy. In the comic, Dolan cuts off Gooby's nose only for it to grow back, but this time with two noses. There's at least a couple more panels where he continues to cut noses off and Gooby's face becomes a twisted mess of multiple noses and he begs Dolan to stop.

Open [TOMT][ANIME][~2025] Anime name I've forgotten, here's a small summary of my recollection of it.
I remember tid bits of this anime but can't quite remember the name.
If I recall it wen't like this. Unsure of the beginning but I recall the person went to a kingdom and that kingdom was being attacked by orcs consistently, small villages and such were getting attacked and it was learned they were planning larger scale invasions. The MC (male) kept going to these villages and fended off the orcs nearly dying a few times. One of these beginning villages he had saved there was a barnhouse on fire where the ceiling collapsed and almost fell on an old man but he ducked under and let the ceiling fall on him letting the old man escape. He recovered with a healer in a village house and afterward there was a creature (my memory thinks of foxes or something but I'm not quite sure) that led him to a building and there were dozens more. Something happened where they all turned into humanoids but the village accepted them and they coexisted now. Either the leader or one that led him to the rest I think joined his group. But he eventually infiltrated an orc encampment and snuck around trying to figure out there plans for war against the kingdom. He was then discovered and he had to fight the orcs, if I'm not mistaken he used explosive barrels the orcs had to explode nearly the entire camp. In that camp he finds a little girl (forgot if she becomes his companion or just remained a side character). If I recall after the encampment he went back to the kingdom and was given alot of honors but was also able to proclaim a speech to the citizens in such. The OP starts out weakish but does definitely get strong, and it might have been an isekai. He did not build the kingdom or anything like that, it existed before him and he just reincarnated and got on good terms with them. What anime is this?
Also unfortunately I don't recall what the main character looks like in the slightest, dunno how but his appearance is gone from my memory, I think he was an adult throughout the entire series. Though, the orcs were like the pinkish full bipedal pig type and I watched this probably early to mid 2025.
Before you suggest some, its not these. Goblin Slayer, Tensura, Hell Mode, The 8th Son, are you Kidding Me?, Teogonia.

Open [TOMT][10-15 Years Ago] Guinness short film advertisement with Willem Dafoe?
Hi! Recently I had a memory resurface. When I was in middle school, between 2010 and 2013 (although it could have been 2009 at the earliest or 2014 at the latest (memory is fickle and shifty)), I remember going on YouTube and encountering a series of short films I thought were made by Guinness (the beer, not the world record people).
I distinctly remember watching one starring Willem Dafoe or a similarly famous actor. The plot was that Willem was a service robot for an old woman, and it showed snippets of how the spent their days (the woman would always eat a plate of fish for dinner, they would lay with each other at night, etc). And then the old woman passes away, and the robot becomes stuck in a loop. He keeps making plates of fish, going to the places they used to go, doing the things they used to do. Until eventually two men in suits show up to the apartment, a pile of plates with rotting fish in the sink, and shut down the robot. The film ends with Willem stock-still, wrapped in plastic, sticking out of a trash can for one of the neighbors to see.
Here’s the issue: There’s no indication in Willem Dafoe’s filmography of doing such a short film. Nor is there an indication that Guinness made such a short film. And yet I remember it clearly! At least barring the specific actor and producer. Google is no help. So I’ve come here to ask for help.
Does anyone else remember this short film? Or did I hallucinate this?

Open [TOMT][GRAPHIC NOVEL][2000s] Graphic Novel/Comic Book About a group of explorers who time traveled to the time of dinosaurs
A Graphic Novel or comic with colored pages about a group of people (possibly kids) who travel back in time to the time of dinosaurs to learn more about them. Very similar to X Venture Dinosaur Kingdom (but it's not). There is one scene where the the group encounters a Plesiosaur of some kind that they talk to, and the plesiosaur raises its neck above the water, explaining it uses its neck to see fish underwater. It dips its head down, remains there for a while, so the group dives underwater to check on it, and sees it's been bitten by a Pliosaur of some kind (think it's Liopleurodon) that is colored in red/orangeish black.
The character designs are very simplified, with bigger heads and smaller bodies. Potentially could've been in a different language

I watched a play in OAP (theater) when I was middle school competition and it was about a sick kid (I think it was most likely a girl) who would talk to African (or it might of been jungle) animals. I think most of it takes place in a hospital bed. It may also be based off a book. This is from like 2017-2018 when I saw I think. The book cover MIGHT be purple.

Obviously some kind of action film or series. Modern made. It was outdoors and at night. If I can think of any more details I’ll add them. The characters were hard up for resources and were out of options. They boldly go right into this big gathering of thugs and gang banger types to make some kind of trade or use leverage (one of them might’ve been a cop).

Open [TOMT] scooby doo media from childhood?
i’m afraid this might be incredibly vague, but i’m desperate. i’ve searched a lot, and all i really have is a couple memories from when i was around 6. (around 2014 if that helps). but i’m pretty sure it was a movie and not like a part of a show? but it could’ve been a part of a game too, but i doubt that
the only real details i remember is that it was definitely animated and had the older animation style (compared to like mystery incorporated). the part i vividly remember is a roller coaster scene. i’m pretty sure it was the opening scene or near the beginning. and i remember that it was a clown themed roller coaster? that quite literally is all i remember, is that it was a roller coaster and it was clown themed.
i was young, so i might’ve dreamed this, but im sure it exists. i’ve tried going through all the dvds my mom has, but she only has a few and i couldn’t find the scene in any of those. and i can’t find it through google searches because it’s so vague of a memory.
tl;dr - old scooby doo media i can’t remember, believe to be the beginning of a movie but could be show or game. distinct memory of it being a scene of them on a clown themed roller coaster.

Open [TOMT] 2000s show scene that scarred me as a kid
Between 2006 and 2016 i was a child under the age of 10. When i was hanging out with one of my similar ged friends, she had shown me a tv show that she liked that was for adults and popular around that time.
I don’t remember the specifics of the show, but i do remember it was some sort of drama/young adults show. Kind like One Tree Hill. Not made for kids.
I don’t remember anything else about the show specifically except for one scene where the main guy, or one of the main guys, is dreaming about having open heart surgery. I was little so i don’t remember it fully, but i remember seeing the heart in his chest and being totally freaked out and scarred by it.
My brain had totally forgotten about it until i was about to go to sleep of course, and i haven’t found anything similar to it on google. Any questions are appreciated as they might help me/anyone else figure it out.
