Nightmare!!!!

The past couple of nights I have been plagued with nightmares. You must know, I hardly ever, EVER get nightmares but when I do, they're bad. Sometimes I would tell my dad about the dream that I had, he would instantly call that a nightmare. I'm sorry, but no it's not. There is a huge difference between my dreams and my nightmares.

When I'm having a normal dream, I feel nothing. It doesn't wake me up, make it so I can't get back to sleep. Nothing. When I'm having a nightmare, I have anxiety in my dreams, it feels real, I feel stressed out and it ends up making me jerk myself awake. Then I can't get back to sleep because the anxiety attack in my dreams was real.

When I got Resident Evil 4 for the first time on Wii, I would play it for 6 hours straight, non stop. It got to the point that my eyes started glazing over and I had dreams that I was in the video game. My dad said that was a nightmare. I tried and tried to explain to him that it was NOT a nightmare. I didn't feel stressed out or have a anxiety attack.

He just considers that a nightmare because I had a dream that I was in the game. That brings me to an interesting point, which I've known for quite some time. The things you revolve yourself around will eventually take it's toll on you and mess with your Psychosis and you end up having dreams about it.

I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder so anything I obsess about will end up in my dreams, it happens all the time. My mom wanted to do a little challenge. She thinks my nightmares are being brought on by all of the horror movies I watch. I disagree. We made a deal that I wouldn't watch any horror movie for awhile so we can see if my nightmares stop or continue.

My nightmares haven't stopped but they come and go. I really don't think they're being brought on from the movies I watch or I would be getting them all the time. I told my mom I have been having nightmares lately and the first thing she asked was if I have been watching any horror movies, which I haven't. When I get nightmares they're always about the same thing. Chucky. Yes, I'm almost 25 and I still get nightmares about Chucky.

I had one about him last night and my other nightmare I had was about Leatherface, which is really weird. When I get nightmares they're never about horror villains like Leatherface, just Chucky. In that nightmare, I was in the woods with a bunch of people and some kid runs up yelling "Run! Run! He's coming, he's coming!" We all start running to who knows where and I begin to not run so fast and I'm thinking oh no, he's going to get me. And in my nightmare while I was running I kept thinking to myself, I'm going to hear the sound of the chainsaw soon.

Knowing I was going to hear that sound peaked my anxiety. Luckily, It never went of in my mind. Suddenly it switches to me hiding in an old run down cabin. People are screaming in the background and I kept repeating to myself "You're going to wake up soon, it's only a preview." After that I jerked myself awake and I couldn't get back to sleep until a few hours later.

We all have nightmares, some may seem silly to others but it leaves a huge impact on you. It all comes back to our Psychosis which makes our nightmares more scary to us then to other people.

Movie Review: Gremlins

Gremlins was one of my favorite movies to watch growing up. It's pure 80's awesomeness. Randall wants to find his son, Billy the perfect Christmas present. While walking around the city, he's approached by a little Chinese boy telling him about his Grandfather's shop and how he can find a lot of unique items there.

He takes a look around the shop and notices a noise coming from a old looking box in the corner. He opens it up to find a small furbie like creature in there known as a Mogwai named Gizmo. The Grandfather doesn't want to sell him because with Mogwai comes great responsibility. The Chinese boy sells Randall the Mogwai without his Grandfather knowing since they really need the money.

He explains to him that there are three rules you must follow when owning a Mogwai. And no matter what happens, you CANNOT break these rules.

Rule # 1: Keep him away from bright light. Sunlight alone can kill him.

Rule # 2: Do not get him wet. Don't even give him a bath.

Rule # 3: The most important rule of all. No matter how much they beg and whine, do not feed them after Midnight.

Of course with this type of movie you know exactly what's going to happen. Billy not only breaks the rules but he breaks the two most important rules of all. 2 and 3. Billy accidentally gets Gizmo wet which causes him to multiply. After he has about five new Mogwais he feeds them after Midnight, he didn't realize that his clock was broken until it was too late.

Feeding them after Midnight caused them to change into Gremlins. Now Billy and his family along with Gizmo must find a way to stop the Gremlins before they wreck havoc on the town and ruin Christmas.

This is one of my personal favorites from my childhood. I am a huge fan of 80's horror movies and this one fits right up there. It's cheesy, it's a lot of laughs and the music is awesome. This is definitely a movie everyone should watch at least once in their lifetime. I really wish Mogwais were real cause Gizmo is so stinkin' cute! If your dyer acts out and your T.v. breaks.Before you call a repair man. Turn on all the lights, look in all the cabinets. Cause you never can tell, there just might be a Gremlin in your house.

I give this movie 5 out of 5 Skulls.

Review: Dylan Dog, Dead of Night

I remember seeing this movie at my work. I really wish I would of bought it when I saw it. I freakin' loved this movie! I was surprised at how much I really liked it. The movie follows a man named Dylan Dog, a private investigator. Before he was scoping out cheating husbands with his job and partner Marcus. He was a Supernatural protector. He meets a lady by the name of Elizabeth asking him about that job once she found his business card in her father's room after his murder. It reads "No pulse? No problem." He tried to explain to her that he wasn't involved in that line of work anymore. Not after his girlfriend was murdered.

Once his partner was killed and turned into a zombie, he decided to get back to his original horror roots. One of her father's symbolic artifacts were stolen the night he was murdered. Now it's up to Dylan, Marcus and Elizabeth to find the artifact before it falls into the wrong hands and it unleashes terror beyond their comprehension.

This movie was down right amazing. Everything about it was awesome. The music, the fight scenes, even the script was wonderful. "I look like a dead hooker!" This movie didn't get a huge theater release and it's not very well known but I loved every single minute of it. It's a fun campy "horror" movie. It's not full on horror but it falls under the category with the story line. I highly suggest this movie and think it's a super fun watch.

It also has some pretty funny parts in it. What I like about this movie is that the comedy part of it didn't kill the whole entire movie. There are a lot of horror movies out there that the screenwriter decides to make it a horror comedy and it never works. Drag Me To Hell is a perfect example. I understand that's part of Sam Raimi's charm but that movie didn't do anything for me. It was so STUPID. I don't think it had the same feel as the Evil Dead did as everyone thinks.  This movie on the other hand did a great job mixing the two genres together. I approve! ;)

I give this movie 5 out of 5 Skulls.
