..portal...

1

this topic may recieves scoffs and howls, but i am asking anyways.

i see in blogs and references around the web periodically to something that must be called “portal”. can anyone tell me what the reference is? i know there was a book called “portal” in the mid/late 80s, but that seems unlikely (although i haven’t read it). it reminds me of several years ago when i would see references for something call aeon flux, but in that case a movie came out with the same name, so i am assuming that was a game or comic book or something.

anyways, does anyone know what portal is? and why it’s a popular web reference?

And Aeon Flux was an animated series on MTV before it was a movie. Wikipedia is an amazing thing.

You forgot the Portal to Hell, from the first Amityville Horror movie.
Not sure it was in the book.
Maybe the shark from Jaws lives there. In the book the town was Amity, NY.
