We've all heard of cult films, but it takes a particular accomplishment to make a cult classic about an actual cult. Over at Flavorwire, the greatest cult films in history have been compiled into one great list of creepy flicks -including one of the most disturbing movies I've ever seen in my life, Martyrs. Of course, you can also expect the famous cult films everyone remembers like Rosemary's Baby and Children of the Corn.
We've all heard people claim they made something from scratch, but mixing up your own batch of cookie dough with ingredients you bought from the store is a lot different than actually milling your own flour, churning your own butter, etc. We tend to take the accessability of most food items for granted, but what would happen if you really wanted to make something completely from scratch? This YouTuber did just that by making his own sandwich and the result reminds us just how lucky we are to have food readily available at the closest grocery store.
Driving always presents at least some measure of risk, but it's one thing to have to worry about idiots that can't merge and a whole different matter to worry about the road itself. This great TopTenz list shows that your daily commute might occassionally seem dangerous when you see people pulled over after a fender-bender, but it's nowhere near the fearful drive some people need to take every day.
Fall is my favorite time of year not only because the air is crisp and the weather is finally not hot anymore, but also because Halloween is coming. But that nice weather isn't going to last long and if you live somewhere cold, you'll need to get ahead of the snow to prepare for the winter. Over at Homes and Hues, we rounded up a bunch of things you need take care of before that cold weather gets here.

Aside from the mashed potatoes, gravy and chicken visible on the completed masterpiece, these fanciful feasts also include fillings like collard greens, macaroni and cheese, and candied yams. And yes, that was a plural because more than one person has cooked up one of these fanciful concoctions.
The upper cake is a collard green and cornbread cake by Darius Williams of Darius Cooks. The recipe is in his cookbook Stories from My Grandmother’s Kitchen. The bottom cake is by Bree Miller of Bree’s Cakes. She tells us a little about it at Instagram.

It's hard to deny that castles look freaking awesome. Unfortunately, buying a home built in medieval times is not only expensive, it also requires living in a drafty, uncomfortable home that was, well, built in the middle ages. But you can have the best of both old world architecture and new world comforts if you happen to seek out new castles built in the last century.
In the most recent Homes and Hues articles, we rounded up some of these amazing modern palaces for all the wannabe knights and ladies out there who still dream about living in a fantasy castle.

There are some twist endings that you avoid talking about because you don't want to ruin them for other people, but then there are those that are so well-known they have become cliches. For example, even without seeing Soylent Green, you probably already know that "Soylent Green is people."
If you're not afraid of spoilers that everyone already knows, you'll probably dig Flavorwire's great list of the best movie twists in cinema history -from Planet of the Apes to the Sixth Sense.
It's never a good idea to chug a whole gallon of milk, gobble down ghost peppers or gulp down dry cinnamon, but that doesn't stop people from trying. From disgusting to downright dangerous, these food challenges are utterly ridiculous and entirely unadvisable.

Redditor SecondSuitor has good taste. He likes sloths and he likes movies. That's why it only made sense for him to combine the two in his amazing tattoos. He even has a whole sleeve of them including The Labyrinth, Ghostbusters, The Goonies, Friday the 13th and more.
While the tattoos are all pretty incredible, there's something so fitting and perfect about seeing Sloth as an actual sloth.

Chinchillas are adorably cute, but terribly strange creatures that can't handle heat or exposure to the slightest amounts of water. They tend to be happiest in their homelands of the dry, freezing Andes Mountains. But this little guy is a rebel. He's like Olaf from Frozen and dreams of a warm day on a cool beach.
While Bubu may not actually be able to enjoy a pool-side soak out in the hot summer sun, his human was nice enough to mimick the experience as well as possible with a cute little private pool and a fancy coconut cocktail. It may not be 100% real, but it's enough to make me jealous.

Labor Day is a great time to relax and appreciate your life outside of work, but it also can be a reminder of how much you hate your job -particularly if you can't do anything about it. If coming back to your job made you feel depressed about your workplace, just remember, it could be worse. To make you feel better, Flavorwire compiled a list of the ten worst workplaces in all of pop culture. Unsurprisingly, Clerks made the winning argument for the workplace that holds the top place on the list.
The kids may be back to school and Labor Day may already have passed, but summer doesn't technically end until September 22. So if you're one of those procrastinators that still needs to get out to the beach, maybe these awesome Disney sand sculptures will give you the motivation you need to enjoy a little more summer before the season crawls to a close.
To announce the release of Brave back in 2012, Disney World made this impressive sculpture. Keys to the Magic Travel even noted that she knew the sculpture was real because after it rained that day, the art already needed a little repair.
Hans Veneman spotted this impressive Wall-E tribute at the Disney-themed European Sand Sculptures Festival in Noordwijk.
You'd have to be asleep to not appreciate the beauty of this amazing creation displayed at the European Sand Sculptures Festival in Noordwijk also photographed by Hans Veneman.
We love some crazy foods here at Neatorama, but I think even John would balk at some of the crazy fast food options available at restaurants around the globe. This TopTenz article featuring some of he most outrageous creations out there -like the questionable lobster burger and lobster and caviar sandwiches above that are from Wendy's Japan.
And if you think KFC's Double Down is crazy, just wait until you see the hot dog versions available in the Philippines that features cheese, honey mustard and a chicken and cheese hot dog all sandwiched in a fried chicken "bun." Then again, as crazy as this is, I expect to see it hit American stores any time now.
