Rick-enbergs
In “Rick Potion #9,” a Season 1 episode, Rick gifts Morty with a love potion that quickly morphs a harmless school dance into a dystopian, horror-riddled hellscape of epic proportions. So, just like any school dance, are we right? Anyway, Rick tries to alleviate the situation by creating a serum to counteract the effects of the love potion.
Thus, the human-mantis hybrids transform into “Cronenbergs,” which is a reference to prolific horror filmmaker David Cronenberg, who had a penchant for creating “body horror” movies. You know, terrifying body alterations that are the stuff of nightmares. We’re not ready to watch this episode without every light on in the house.
