In my introductory post, I expressed the opinion that keychain collecting is underrepresented online. So when I stumbled across a fun website that appealed to me as both a keychain collector and as a pop culture fan, I just had to share. What I discovered was a blog called Keychains In Movies. The homepage states that the blog was compiled by Keychain Collectors International. And according to the blog's mission statement, the purpose of the site is to, "find keychains in the media, whether that be in movies, video games, on tv, music, or shorts". Basically, the blog collects keychain sightings from film, television, and other forms of popular entertainment.
Each sighting includes a brief write-up, as well as accompanying screen shots. Sometimes the keychain in question is important to the plot of the movie or show, and other times it's only featured briefly as set dressing or as a background element. (The most common sightings are of hotel room keychains or keychains dangling from car ignitions.) The really great thing, in my opinion, is that the blog still appears to be active. The most recent entries were posted this past year, and some of the keychain sightings are from the Marvel film franchise and other, still popular movies. There's also a search bar, so if you're checking the site for a particular film you can just type in the title.
If you happen to have some time to kill, I would highly recommend checking out the Keychains In Movies blog. I've included a link to the site on my sidebar, as well as a link near the beginning of this post. Have fun and enjoy the rest of your day.
