Alan Moore Reads Your Kids a Bedtime Story
This is Alan Moore reading Rorschach’s journal from Watchmen the way it was meant to be read — i.e., in the most terrifying way possible. But now all I can think about is if Alan Moore wrote, or even starred in, those Babysitters’ Club books. Think he’d turn them just into Lost Girls-style child porn, or would the babysitters simply sacrifice their charges to that crazy-ass snake god Moore worships? Probably both, right?

About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
