Welcome to Weird Glens of Hollywood
Why are characters named Glen always a little off? We're tracking every suspicious Glen, unhinged Glenn, and peculiar Glenda across film and TV history.
Turns out Hollywood has been trying to tell us something about people with this name, and we're here to connect the dots no one asked us to connect.
Welcome to the only account brave enough to ask: what is it about the name Glen that makes casting directors go "perfect, let's make them weird"? From cult leaders to serial killers to that one guy who definitely talks to his plants too much, we're cataloging every strange, quirky, and downright unnerving Glen-variant character in cinema and television history. This isn't coincidence. This is a pattern. This is a cultural phenomenon that film scholars have been too cowardly to address. We're doing the work. We're asking the questions. We're probably spending too much time thinking about this, but someone has to. The Glens are out there, and they're mostly unwell.
