A Very Supernatural Christmas!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and got everything they wanted. I wanted to make this post dedicated to Christmas with horror mixed into it cause lets face it nothing gets me into the Christmas spirit more then a horror Christmas movie. I decided to do a review of the Christmas episode of Supernatural called "A Very Supernatural Christmas." The episode starts out with the 80's style "breaking news" then it switches to a house decorated for Christmas and the door bells rings while a little boy named Stevie runs to open it. It's his grandfather and he came to visit him for Christmas. Later that night grandpa dresses up as Santa so Stevie can see him putting gifts under the Christmas tree. While Stevie watches "Santa" there's a thump on the roof and something big and creepy looking crashes down the chimney and out of the fireplace. He grabs grandpa and pulls him up the chimney while Stevie watches while sitting on the stairs then grandpa's bloody foot falls out of the chimney.
After that it shows Sam and Dean dressed as FBI talking a woman who's husband was abducted a couple days earlier. They head back to their apartment trying to figure out what is going on since there was several abductions through the same way. They call Bobby and he suggested the Anti-Clause the evil brother of Santa Clause that walks with a limp and smells of sweets. They noticed that each victim had the same wreath hanging in their house. They do research and find out that the wreaths are made out of meadow sweet. Realizing this is all pagan lore they figured there has to be a pagan God keeping the Anti-Clause stashed some where. They find out that a local lady by the name of Madge Carrigan made the wreaths, they head on over to her house to see if she has anymore they could give them. While they were talking to Madge and her husband Edward, Sam realizes something was off with the two of them. Their back at the hotel and Sam is doing research and he finds out that Madge and Edward use to live in a different state when there was two abductions in December then they moved to Michigan in January.

They sneak into their house to see if they could find what they were looking for in the house. They make their way to the basement where they find a dirty old Santa suit and his red present bag with a body in it. Madge and Edward run into the basement and beat up Sam and Dean till their knocked out. They tie Sam and Dean up to the chairs in the kitchen and begin to explain what their motives are. They get Sam and Dean ready for the sacrifice by slicing their arms and taking one of Sam's fingernails and trying to take one of Dean's teeth. The doorbell rings so of course they had to go see who it was, while they were talking to their neighbor Sam and Dean escape and they were able to trap them in the kitchen. They break their Christmas tree to make a wooden stake out of it since that's the only way to kill them and Sam stabs Madge then Dean stabs Dean. After all that fun stuff they head back to their hotel to celebrate their own little Christmas. This is one of my favorite episodes since it's about Christmas cause that's one of my favorite holidays and I really like the whole concept of the pagan Gods and the Anti-Clause.

This has been a wonderful Christmas and I hope everyone had a great holiday. It's nice having a holiday like Christmas that brings family and friends together unless you work in retail and it makes you want to kill people cause that holiday brings out the nasty freaks. Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight!!

Stop the bullying!!



I try to keep this blog all about horror but there's a topic that I've been wanting to discuss for a long time now. With this topic that I'm about to talk about does have some horror roots to it which you will see later on. During the past couple of weeks we've been hearing on the t.v. about the recent suicides of teenagers. These teenagers were bullied by the other kids in school because they were gay... that's right, GAY!! What is this world coming to?! I can't believe people can be so cruel and so evil that they have to bully and tease people just because they are gay. Who cares if they're gay, that doesn't make them a bad person. If you know me you would know that I'm a strong supporter of gay rights and it pains me to hear that people have committed suicide because they were bullied by other kids in school because they were gay and open about it. Oh so if you're gay you can't be open about it, you have to keep it a secret and not let anyone know because it might make people uncomfortable? They can get use to it because gay people have every right to be open about being gay. Okay now that I have that out of my system, that wasn't the only thing I wanted to talk about. I wanted to talk about bullying and how I really think it should be stopped. Why do kids bully other kids? Because they think it's cool? They think it's funny? The other kids were doing it too? Who cares what the reason are it's still doesn't make it right and it angers me to no end that this is going on in schools and no one is doing a damn thing about it.


No one knows the true affects bullying has on a person except for a person who has been bullied themselves. Growing up I didn't have a lot of friends in school and I was bullied and teased by the other kids cause I wasn't part of the popular group and they made fun of me because I wore hearing aids. I know what it's like to be bullied and teased and tortured by the other kids. The kids might think it's only name calling what harm can that do? Well, calling someone a rude name is wrong. I'm not saying I haven't called someone a rude name before but I never bullied anyone, the only time I've ever been in fight with someone is because I was sticking up for myself cause I'm not a door mat and I don't let people walk all over me. The reason why I wanted to talk about this is because we in the horror industry, as a group need to stop the bullying in schools and help the kids who are being bullied. We need to let these kids know that there are people out there who actually care and who are here for them. The reason why we need to stop the bullying is because you never know what's going to happen to the person who was bullied. You see people committing suicide or committing murder, why is that? Is it because they were bullied as a kid or bullied every single day and they just reached their breaking point? You never know. Look at all these horror icons we have. Freddy Krueger, Micheal Myers and Jason Voorhees. They were all bullied when they were kids and THAT just proved my case. Freddy Krueger was teased by the other kids cause he was the bastard son of 100 maniacs and he would kill little animals.

In the original Halloween it doesn't really show Micheal Myers childhood but in the remake it does. It also shows you that Micheal was teased and bullied by the other kids in school. In Friday the 13Th all the kids at Camp Crystal Lake teased and threw rocks at Jason because his face was deformed and they tried to put a sack over his head. He was bullied because he looked different. Just because someone looks different or weird doesn't mean we can't be friends with them and we have to make fun of them. You never know, Jason could of been one of their best friends but instead of giving him a chance they made fun of him and pushed him in the lake where he drowned all because he looked different. Also, this all happened at summer camp so you would think the camp counselors would put a stop to the teasing but no. They didn't do a damn thing cause they were too busy banging each other. The reason why I brought up these horror icons is because they were all bullied when they were kids and look what they turned into. Freddy became the Springwood Slasher and later went on to being your worst nightmare. Micheal went crazy and started killing everyone in his neighborhood and went after his little sister. Jason murders everyone that comes to Camp Crystal Lake. I really do believe that them being bullied as kids is what made them who they are to a point. I don't believe bullying was the only reason. I think they had emotional problems to begin with and the bullying just made it worse. Yes I know these are all fictional characters and they're not real but my point is that they were all bullied and they went crazy and started killing people, it's a pattern. This is something that I feel strongly about and I think it needs to be stopped. Like I said before no one really knows the true affects bullying has on someone and before they find out it might be too late. The kids on the news were bullied and they killed themselves. Freddy, Micheal and Jason were bullied and they started killing everyone around them. People might think oh who cares if they were bullied they're still murderers. Yes that's true but you also need to realize their back story. If they weren't bullied do you think they still would become who they are now? Possibly, but not to the same extreme. If they weren't bullied there's a big chance that things would be different and then we wouldn't have the top 3 horror icons we have today.

I just think everyone needs to understand where they're coming from and they need to realize their feelings. Whether they're murderers or not they still have feelings and they were pushed too far to where they snapped and unleashed their rage on the world. No I'm not condoning what they did but I do understand why and how they felt and I feel for them, I honestly feel sorry for them and how they were treated. Lets face it, they didn't have a easy childhood and the constant bullying they had to go through messed them up even more in the head. All I'm saying is people need to stop bullying other people cause they're "different" or they're not cool enough cause you never know if that one rude comment would be the tip of the ice burg and they finally snap and kill you. You don't know what's going on in their life or head so you have no idea if they're on their breaking point or if you're going to push them to the edge cause once they've fallen off the edge there's no getting up. The moral of this post is you bully someone plan on getting murdered. Give peace a chance man, thank you.

Review: P2

I've been very bad at blogging for the last two months and I'm trying hard to try to fix that. I hope all of my readers will forgive me for not updating my blog as much as I would like too. Thank you for staying with my blog and continuing to follow it. To make it up to you guys I decided to do a review. The movie I'm reviewing is P2, oh how I love this movie. I mainly wanted to see this movie besides the fact that it was a horror thriller but it had Wes Bentley in it and my goodness he is delicious! The movie starts out in a parking garage with the song "Santa Baby" playing in the distance along with eerie music mixed into it. The camera gets up to the back of a parked car and out pops a lug nut tool showing an eye in the hole and hands breaking open the trunk with a girl screaming then it's all black. After that we're introduced to Angela a business woman who spends all her time at work. She's talking on the phone with a client while Jim her co-worker walks into the room with a sadden expression on his face.Angela ask Jim what she could do for him and he starts apologizing for what he did earlier and wishes for forgiveness.

It explains what he did later in the movie. Angela gets the rest of her work done and she heads out to her car to make it to her family Christmas party at her sister's house. She gets into her car and comes to realize that her car wont turn on. She keeps turning the key trying to get it to start while getting frustrated she went looking for someone to help her. She walks into the security office and once she opens the door a dog starts running after her but is suddenly jerked back from the chain it's hooked up to. Thomas the security guard walks out of his office trying to calm down his crazy ass dog. He introduces himself to Angela and she asks if he could unlock the door to the elevators so she could get up to the lobby to call a cab. He offers to jump start her car for her but of course she's being a little brat to him then she gives in and takes him up on his offer. Thomas tries jump starting her car but that doesn't work so she just gives up and says she's just going to call a cab. While they head out to the main doors Thomas invites Angela to his office for a Christmas dinner but he hurries and says I'm just kidding since Angela laughs off the invitation and while looking at him weird.

Little does she know that wasn't a voluntarily invite. After Angela calls a cab she waits in the main lobby and she starts dozing off a little. It switches to Angela being watched through the security cameras. The cab pulls up to her building and honks to let her know that he's here. She heads for the doors but they wont open up so she pushes on the buttons to open it but that doesn't work then she rings the buzzer to alert Thomas but he doesn't answer. After waiting for awhile the cab drives off leaving Angela stranded all alone. She heads back down to the parking garage to look for another way out then suddenly all the lights go off. She continues to search for a exit while using her cell phone for light to help guide her along, well that doesn't work out too well since she trips over a crib and falls down dropping everything she was holding. She gets up and looks at her phone and the light of her cell shines out and shows Thomas standing behind her. He grabs Angela covering a rag over her nose and mouth while she struggles to break free but she ends up passes out.Angela wakes up to find herself chained to a chair in the security office and Thomas in a Santa's suit yelling out "Ho, ho, ho Merry Christmas!" She passes out again and Thomas wakes her up and tries to comfort her. She asks where she is and where her clothes are and he explains that she fell and got knocked out and she got her clothes dirty.

Thomas admits to Angela his motives and set down a plate of food for him and her to eat and he begins to ask her questions about her life. She explains that her boyfriend is going to come looking for her if he doesn't let her go soon. Thomas tells her that she's a liar cause he's been watching her for a month and she has the same old routine which doesn't involve a boyfriend. He makes her call her family and tell them that she wont be coming to the Christmas party cause she's not feeling good and he says that he has something to show her. He begins to unlock the chains on her feet and Angela grabs a fork and stabs it into his shoulder and tries to run away but of course she trips and falls. Thomas picks her and puts her coat on and loads her up in his car. He drives down to a different level of the parking garage where we see Jim duct taped to a chair screaming. Angela begins to freak out when she See's what's going on. Thomas explains to her what he's doing and why he's doing it. Earlier he showed Angela a security tape from the elevator where Angela and Jim were in.Jim being drunk from a previous Christmas party tries to grope Angela and make out with her but she pushes him away and yells at him and even points her finger at him, this girl means business! She storms out of the elevator where Jim is left by himself to feel like a dirty old man.

Thomas tells Angela that she needs to defend herself and not let people walk all over her and he's going to teach Jim a lesson for trying "rape" Angela in the elevator. He gets out of the car and heads on over to Jim and goes on a rampage rant that Jim can't take advantage of girls and how Angela isn't a slut and he doesn't own the world and everyone in it. He grabs his night stick and begins beating Jim till he's bloody. He gets back in the car while Angela is crying and he begins to drive away but Angela tells him that they can't just leave him there so he says "Your right" and puts the car in reverse and drives up to Jim pushing him up against the wall breaking his body until he's dead. Angela breaks free and makes a run for it and tries to find a way out. She finds a gated window and starts yelling out "Somebody help me! I'm trapped in here, some one's trying to kill me!" The problem with that is she works downtown so there's a lot of homeless people wandering around so a crazy bag lady yells out everything Angela is yelling so no one's going to know what's going on cause the stupid bag lady is over powering Angela's voice.

Thomas hides the dead body and cleans up the mess so if anyone came down to this level they wouldn't find out what happened. Angela sees Thomas and runs to the elevator where he tries to catch her but isn't successful and she stops the elevator so It won't go any where and she pushes the button to call for the attendant to get help and some guy with a weird accent on the other line answers and she tells him to call the police cause there's a man in there trying to kill her. He says he won't call the police cause he just wants to help her then Angela realizes that Thomas is the guy on the other line and she tells him that she's going to stay in the elevator as long as she has to. Thomas goes up to a room and opens up a door where he can see the top of the elevator that she's in and drops a hose on top of it and turned it on so it starts pouring out water. The elevator begins to fill up with water so she presses the button to open the elevator and she flies out along with the water. Thomas goes looking for her calling out her name and he looks down to see wet foot prints and follows them in hopes that he'll find her. He heads back to the security office turns on the song "Blue Christmas" by Elvis Presley and begins dancing and singing to it while watching the security cameras. Every time I hear that song I instantly think of this movie and scene and I get a big smile on my face cause it's just a delightful part of the movie.

After Thomas' little dance party he heads out to look for Angela again but still can't find her, she runs into the office and sees the t.v. on where it's playing a video that Thomas recorded of him filming Angela when she's passed out and he's talking to her, telling her how beautiful she is and caressing her and putting lipstick on her. Once Angela sees that she screams and takes the axe that she got and breaks the t.v. She hears a buzzing noise and looks at the security cameras and sees that there's a police car with one of the cops buzzing the building. She tries to find the buzzer and microphone to talk to them and she turns around to find Thomas there and he tazor her and she falls to the ground. He answers the cops buzzing and tells them that he will be right there to let them in. He changes his clothes and turns on the speakers to play music and the song "Santa Baby" begins to play. He heads down to where the police are and they tell Thomas that they were getting complaints of the noise in here and calls from the building. Thomas plays it off telling them he has no idea what their talking about and how him and his dog are the only ones there. After the police search a few of the parking garage levels they begin to head out. Angela breaks out of the trunk of the car where Thomas had stuffed her and she starts running and screaming "Wait!" but the cops have already left and she sees Thomas standing there with his dog and she stopped dead in her tracks.Thomas lets go of the leash and the dog runs after her and she jumps into one of the cars in the parking lot and the dog jumps in after her trying to attack her and he bites her arm and Angela takes a crowbar and shoves it through the dogs head and runs into the security office.

Thomas walks up to the car to find his dog dead and he freaks and yells out "Angela! Why did you do this? He was just a helpless animal, how could you kill a helpless animal? Angela your really starting to piss me off!!" That just shows you how messed up in the head he really is if he thinks his dog is a helpless animal after it tried to kill Angela. Angela hides in the back room where she tries to call the police again but the line is busy since it's Christmas Eve and apparently the holidays brings out the freaks. Thomas walks into the office and finds the phone off the hook with one of the police officers on the other line asking if anyone is there. He hangs it up and begins to search for Angela, he sees a part of Angela's dress under the closet door. He opens it up to find that it was just part of her dress to fool him and he turns around and she sprays him in the eyes with something funky, I'm still not sure what it is but it does make your eyes sting and red.

She runs out of the office locking Thomas inside and she jumps in one of the cars and turns it on drives away and Thomas crashes into her with his car. She drives away with him chasing her and then their both on the opposite side of the parking lot staring down each other. They begin to rev the engine like their going to race with Angela yelling out "You want to do this? Let's go, come on chicken shit come on!" They both slam on the gas pedal and drive straight for each other then Thomas turns the other direction so they wouldn't crash but Angela ended up crashing into a pole which made her car fly a few feet away from Thomas' car. He walks over to Angela and checks her pulse and tells her that he's going to help her out of the car. He takes off her seat belt and she opens her eyes and stabs Thomas in the eye with some sharp knife thingy and she begins to choke him with the handcuffs and once he passes out she unlocks the handcuffs and chains him to the car. While she tries to walk away he grabs her leg and she falls to the ground and she gets up and begins to walk away and he tells her to come back and let him go and then he says "Angela, I just wanted to be friends. I'm alone. I'm always alone. Why can't we just spend more time together? Angela?" She continues to walk away and he says "Wait. Why? Why? Why can't we be friends? Huh? Why can't we just spend Christmas together? Do you hear me, you stupid fucking cunt?!"She turns around and gives him the evilest look imaginable since calling a girl the C word is apparently bad for some reason which I will never understand why but that's a different story.

She turns on the tazor and lights the line of gas leaking from her broken car which lights Thomas on fire while he's screaming in fear and pain. You know I never felt sad when the bad guy killer died in the movies but in this case I did, I felt so sad when Thomas died and the way he died. Yes I understand that he was a very bad man and he held her hostage against her will and hurt her and possibly raped her but what you need to understand is his motive behind all of this. He doesn't have any friends obviously and he's always alone since he has no friends and every time he tries to reach out for affection he gets rejected come on that must suck getting rejected every damn time so I feel for him. I'm not condoning what he did and I'm not saying what he did was okay I'm just saying that I understand his thinking's behind it. You don't have any friends and your all alone and you always get rejected it will take it's toll on you and you will finally reach your breaking point when you think enough is enough and you start to take actions into your own hands, part of this is a whole different post.

What I don't get is why couldn't she just join him for a Christmas dinner? Yeah she had her family Christmas party to go to but she could of gone late since she was already late in the first place so it didn't really matter. Just think if she would of joined him it could of saved her from all this crap, well it probably would of still happened cause if he was psycho enough to go through all this trouble to get her with him. I hear people saying I'm glad he died the way he did, he got what he deserved and they tell me I weird for feeling sympathy for how he died since what he did and how he stalked her for a month or a couple of months but hey stalking doesn't make you a bad person, I've stalked a few people in my day but I never stalked them and held them against their will I'm not that talented, I only Internet stalk people there's a difference. I saw this movie the weekend it came out back in 2007 and I'm still confused at why I haven't written a review for it till now, 3 years later but oh well better late then never. I really loved this movie and It didn't get enough recognition and praise and it should of since this movie is amazing. It's not your typical horror movie and it isn't really a horror movie more like a thriller okay it's a horror thriller. I love how it shows how something that we all use on a every day basis can be scary and deadly. I give this movie 5 out of 5 skulls. ***Stay tuned for my new post "Stop the bullying!"***
