What is known

Found image supplied for The Shadow Zone: a phone screenshot of an Instagram story from the account la_meme_young, resharing a meme credited to @numetalkaraoke. The caption reads "11 year old me listening to Slipknot self titled for the first time," above an orange-washed film still of a burning skeleton gripping a chain-link fence as it is blasted apart, a frame that resembles the nuclear-dream sequence of Terminator 2. The film source is not confirmed. Maker, origin, and date are not recorded. The exif scrub reported no location metadata to strip.
