I'm going home for Christmas... But anyone who returns home after living out of state knows that does not count as a vacation. In fact, I will be even more desperate after. Check out this listing for the 14 Absolute Creepiest Places To Visit In The United States The Winchester House and Waverly Hills have been on my list for yearsssss however, St. Augustine Lighthouse is likely to happen first due to my relocation. I saw the previous for this film and was like 'ugh... look at that, another terrorized family.' I didn't watch this film until Halloween this year. My local radio station was doing a Halloween special on spooky stories. A women called in who happened to be the Granddaughter one of the girls who lived through the real life happenings. After hearing her stories and of the Hollywood desprepancies, I rented the movie that evening just to see what it was all about. I spent ten minutes confused at the beginning of the movie confused because I thought I was watching Annabelle. I will just say that. The whole movie is very close to The Amityville Horror... and that is its only downfall. It has some pretty creepy shots that will make you jump in your seat. I was really excited that a lot of the movie focuses on the Warrens. I have read a lot on the Warrens and their museum. They are one of the most well known paranormal investigating teams; covering high profile cases such as Amityville, 'The haunting in Connecticut' and more. They own a museum of haunted and important paranormal items, including the notorious Annabelle doll. This movie made me interested in learning more about the Warrens, and other cases of theirs that have yet to have been turned into films. I was so hoping for Annabelle (made by the same director, endorsed in the same way by the Warrens) to follow suit and making a series by focusing on the Warren's investigations.... but it does not appear to be the case. Upon reading up on this film further, I found that when this movie was released it came with disclaimer in theaters. This had to have an Scare Factor: Jumpy Scary Rating: ❤❤❤ I guess I should explain myself and my fondness for all things society would deem spooky.
As a kid my favorite things were Beetlejuice, Ghostbusters and Monsters. My Grandfather loved Halloween and the Universal monsters. I would sit on his lap and watch the black and white films with him as he explained to me their madness. I remember my first trip to Florida when I was five years old and being so excited when we arrived to Universal Studios because I would be able to see Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice's Graveyard Revue was my love for years. Time after time I would replay the family vacation video and fast forward it to that part so I could see my monster celebrities and dance along. (Recently, I went to see the show again and regret it. I should have left that alone) When I was seven, I watched the first film that ever scared me with my Dad. It was The Gate. As expected, I was pretty freaked out; Mostly because Barbies come to life and there are creepy little demons running around... You may think, 'Wow, what kind of person would allow their young kid to watch such a terrible thing?' But really, I think my parents could sense that I could handle the subject matter and would probably enjoy it too at that. On the playground, my favorite memories were playing witches with my friends (Inspired by Hocus Pocus and frowned upon. Witchcraft and Wizardry wasn't normal back then like it is now thanks to Harry Potter) and sharing scary stories. When I was ten, my Dad introduced me to what he considered the holy grail of horror movies... The Exorcist. The make up and storyline were appreciated but I was unimpressed with the level of fear I felt. As a teenager, I was my own pathetic version of Lydia Dietz; Listening to my goth music, drowning in black, only watching anything with suffering in it. As a young adult, I realized that my self absorbed/self inflicted ways were boring and not a true representation of myself. I then transformed into some edgy, artist attending an expensive and prestigious art college. After the starving Detroit artist thing proved unsatisfying, I quit and tried many other paths; unemployed hermit, craft lady, film production assistant, sorority girl, fashionista. I transitioned a million different times into the bizarre person I am today. Now, I'm here.... writing in a bloggy blog and returning to my horror roots; Inspired by the countless movies I've seen, spooky stories I've told and everything to come. What you all will come to find out is that I have a deep love for Halloween Horror Nights... I will describe that in detail in a lengthy post to follow.
The scare zone scores have been coursing through my head since Mid -October. The amazing HHNFREAK2006 has cracked the code and listed the music here. My 22 pound bird beast will be brining tomorrow... and I will be making a creepy playlist by downloading the music all afternoon whilst vulturing online tv deals. Happy Thanksgiving! |
