20 things we’ll see in the eventual horror movies made about 2020 – Chron

It's horror movie season, but I'm deeming it fully unnecessary since we're all living in 2020.

This year has been hellish, to say the least, with a continuing global pandemic, hurricanes, fires and more. It's been a long, hard 10 months.

Little parts of life have become almost comically dystopian (but still too real), leading to a wave of jokes about how we're living in the gritty modern reboot of "Idiocracy" or a slightly tamer version of "Mad Max: Fury Road."

In honor of Halloween fast approaching, here are the distinctly 2020 moments that I'm expecting to show up in the eventual horror movie made about this year.

We got lucky that the murder hornets never seemed to actually show up in Texas. But imagine if they did and they were the size of baseballs.

Nothing is weirder than seeing a miserable part of history wrapped up in a nice bow and given back to us as entertainment in the form of a mini-series on Hulu.

Empty toilet paper shelves at this Target store on the Katy Freeway show the worry and anxiety many have right now over the novel coronavirus. Peace of Mind Foundation Founder Elizabeth McIngvale and Steven Parks, childrens mental health program manager at JFS(Jewish Family Service), advise people to take care of their mental health during the chaos.

What almost everyone will remember about the beginning of the pandemic. What's even worse: the jokes about it that refuse to die. Including this one, perhaps.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is investigating mystery seed shipments, along with the Department of Homeland Securitys Customs and Border Protection, other federal agencies, and state departments of agriculture.

People kept getting these mysterious seeds in the mail from China, and thousands of Americans planted them despite repeated instructions not to, according to Vice's Jason Koebler. So far it doesn't seem to have had drastic effects on the country, but it could have. Audrey IIs could have been running rampant thanks to some people's morbid curiosity.

It's been seven months and I still don't know how to interact with people on Zoom.

A tiny insect on vice president Pence's head stole the show at Wednesday night's debate.

If anything showed how insect-like our attention spans are lately, it's the fly that landed on Vice President Pence's head during the vice-presidential debate and dominated Twitter after.

Every parent wrestling with multiple elementary school kids can vouch for this. Y'all are heroes.

No, I don't have experience with this, why do you ask?

This combination of Sept. 29, 2020, file photos shows President Donald Trump, left, and former Vice President Joe Biden during the first presidential debate at Case Western University and Cleveland Clinic, in Cleveland, Ohio.

It was an experience. This whole election season has been an experience.

The real doomsday bunkers are apparently in the Hamptons, as The New York Times reported, and have spacious pools and ample natural light.

People are so creative and it's a wonderful idea to celebrate birthdays and graduations and more, but something about them just feels so eerie.

I will not elaborate; this one should be obvious.

My router is wheezing from over-exhaustion, I swear. Plus my dog broke my extender when she ran into it.

I think the jade plant I've had for nearly five years just kicked the bucket, and I'm so upset.

Why... just why...

It makes me gag. I truly applaud all the distilleries that stepped up to help make hand sanitizer, but oh my gosh.

Carole Baskin of Netflix's "Tiger King" competed on this season of "Dancing With the Stars."

It's like watching 2020 come full circle, reminding us how long this has been going on. Plus she was already eliminated, ironically for her dance based on "The Lion King." Yes, she is in costume.

This was a true nightmare when we were in the bread-making phase of quarantine. Making sourdough is harder than we all thought.

What's it like to know peace? I miss office coffee and leaving the mug on my desk to be dealt with later.

Definitely necessary, and I appreciate the politeness of my local H-E-B. But I also distantly remember the days when it was just early 2010s pop hits on the grocery store speakers. I miss hearing "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons while I pick up my tortillas and bananas, even if it is a terrible song.
