When I write "horsehead bookends", what comes to mind automatically for you?

Vote first, then reveal the spoilers.

For a small percentage of you, I predict you’ll think of a specific movie immediately.
If you don’t, then you obviously have never seen said movie, otherwise it would have been an instant thought in your mind as soon as you heard that phrase.

In other words, this poll is basically “Have you seen the movie Student Bodies?” written in an evasive way.

I think of a set of bookends with horseheads ‘carved’ into them…like this.

I had some almost identical to these on a bookshelf in my room when I was growing up.

Student bodies. Sex kills.

I had a set of wooden horsehead bookends. And my answer to your spoilered questions is “nope.”

And I thought first of the film The Godfather, even though the horsehead wasn’t used as a bookend.

First bookends, then The Godfather. Never seen or heard of your spoiler.

I haven’t read the responses, but I would’ve picked all of the above, had that been a choice. A movie? So, I would’ve gone one and two.

Out here in the fields
I fight for my meals
I get my back into my living
I don’t need to fight
To prove I’m right
I don’t need to be forgiven
Don’t cry, don’t raise your eye
It’s only horsehead bookend

I’m the ONLY person that thought of horses! I had horses forever and am nuts about them. :slight_smile:

I’ve seen those, don’t recall where, but that’s what I thought of too. I think they were somewhat common back when people pretended to read books.

yep, movie. used to see every horror/slasher movie that came out.

We had some ugly-ass glass horsehead bookends in the house when I was a kid, so that’s my go-to.

Hehe, I was just thinking of Student Bodies on my way to work today…and no, i have no idea why.

“All these stairs…I wish someone would kill the kid with the gum!”

With running body count!

This. I have zero knowledge of the material in the spoiler boxes. Never heard of it in my whole life.

Knights, from Chess.

And directed by Alan Smithee, so you know it was quality!

I think of bookends. Specifically the ones my mom used to have - ceramic, dating from the 30s. Closest thing I can find to them in a quick google is this.

I’ve seen that movie, but obviously I’ve forgotten everything about it (other than the gratuitous swear).

This, hold up very tiny books.
