HistoryPhotos is for photographs (or, if it can be found, film) of the past, recent or distant! Give us a little snapshot of history!

Rules

  1. Be respectful and inclusive.
  2. No harassment, hate speech, or trolling.
  3. Foster a continuous learning environment.
  4. No genocide or atrocity denialism.
  5. Photos MUST be at LEAST 10 years old, and ideally over 20. We appreciate that we are living through events which will become history, but this is ultimately not a comm for news or current affairs, but events which have occurred some time in the past.

Does anyone have the full video of this vintage sci-fi tentacle porn? I can only find this one shot...

Well that doesn't look terrifying at all.

Nothing says "accidentally ripped out spine when trying to zip up dress" like some industrial strength grippers.
