Hey Guys,

Run

You open your eyes. You're standing in the woods before a door, white and tall, glancing down you see there is no handle. Mist starts gathering around your bare feet, your heart starts to beat fast, painfully fast. You hear the maniacal cackle behind you as you whip around to see where it came from. You know He is getting closer. Your palms are sweating as you try to open the white door. You close your eyes.“Open”, your mind voice says. It remains closed “You really shouldn't have tried to escape.”, He says. Your eyes fly open and start to water. You are helpless. The air around you suddenly becomes thick and suffocating, you claw at your neck as you hear that laugh again. That sinister giggle that grows as you lose oxygen. He is getting closer. You have a choice: open the door and continue the game or die a thousand horrible deaths. Once more, your mind voice screams “PLEASE OPEN!”

The air swirls and suddenly everything stops. You can't move as a single tear runs down your cheek. The door creaks open and you are met with darkness. You can feel Him looking for you. You run through the doorway and as it slams shut behind you, you see a light ahead. You begin to run towards it but stop upon seeing a small girl. You slowly walk towards her, hearing her cry softly. “Are you alright?” you ask her. Silence. “It's going to be okay.” you tell her. She slowly begins to rise. You look down, noticing she cradles a small foot in her bloody palms. She turns to face you,smiling. You scream as loud as you can.....

And in the distance, a laugh can be heard.

Thanks for reading! Keep Watching and Get Scared!!

Wolfman's Got Nards!

Hello Friends


I am thoroughly sadden by the fact it is October and I haven't posted yet! Well here I am, with a 1987 classic: The Monster Squad!


One of my favorite movies growing up not only because I thought Frankenstein was nice and funny but Duncan Regehr's portrayal of Dracula was especially frightening.  This film is the perfect mix of The Goonies and all the classic horror films into one.

A group of monster loving kids stumble upon a journal written by Van Helsing detailing that come the following night, Dracula, Frankenstien, The Mummy, The Wolfman and The Creature from The Black Lagoon are going to take over the world! Now its up to The Monster Squad to stop them before it's too late! 

Scary German Guy is one of my favorite characters in the movie because he added such a safe presence during most of the turmoil. Another great moment is when Eugune says that the Creature "took his Twinkie". The children performed remarkably and I have such a soft spot for funny child-parent relationships. Particularly when Eugene wakes up his dad because he gets scared as The Mummy is in his closet.

Yes some d the dialogue is forced and cheesy but hey it's the '80's. What else do you expect?! The song at the end of the credits is also great in a Parents Just Don't Understand mixed with Hangin Tough kind of way. 

The only complaint I truly have is that the benevolent Hollywood Gods are remaking it. This film was only good because it was made in the '80's! I can only imagine how they are going to try and modernize it. 

Some things should be left in the past where they belong. 

Keep Watching and Get Scared! 

p.s. keep a look out for an Actor Highlight later this week :)
