How To Survive A Horror Movie!

We watch a lot of Horror movies around here. Some more then others, but we all share a common bond and love for the genre. With thee amount of Horror movies we all watch we tend to pick up on certain things that "normal" people wouldn't even think to notice. For example, we notice all the mistakes the characters make and we get very annoyed by them. Really, you're running away from the killer and you've managed to trip over yourself and fall into a ditch? Seriously, come on! I can't tell you how much it bothers me to watch a Horror movie and see someone get killed out of pure idiocy. If this was "real life" you will be just like the movies, dead man walking. Because of this I have come up with a list of rules to help you out if and when you fall victim of a crazed psycho masked/unmasked killer.

Jenny Krueger presents "How to survive a Horror Movie." (In no particular order.)

"All the skills to dodge the kills."

1: Stay away from Cornfields!!

When you're running away from the killer and you see a huge ass cornfield, you stop to think to yourself. "Hmmm.. that looks safe, I'll go hide in there!" Just a little problem with your plan honey, you run into a cornfield you not only have to worry about the killer coming after you cause I guarantee he's going to see you rummaging through the field and now you have about 20 demonic possessed children ready to sacrifice your stupid ass to He Who Walks Behind The Rows.

2: Don't babysit over the weekend!!

Nothing good ever comes from babysitting. You have to deal with spoiled little brats, you're not doing anything fun, you get paid jack shit and some creepy ass dude is watching you outside the window while he pervs out, waiting for you to fall asleep so he can kill you. It's no surprise that HALLOWEEN was originally titled The Baby Sitter Murders.

3: Don't answer the phone!!

This usually falls in line with # 2. You're all alone in your house and you get this feeling like you're being watched then suddenly the phone rings. DON'T ANSWER IT!! Seriously, these people are stupid. If you HAVE to answer the phone then don't have a damn conversation with the person on the other line. I highly doubt he's interested in your latest "boyfriend drama."

4: Avoid looking for trouble!!

You're walking down the street and you start to hear a creepy noise in the background, keep walking and don't look back. If the noise in the background is making you feel nervous and uneasy then there's most likely a good reason for it. So, if you hear a scary noise don't go look to see what it is. Jackass!

5: Run, don't hide!!

In a lot of Horror movies when the killer tries to attack people one person usually runs upstairs or to the basement to avoid the killer. This tactic never works! If you don't run out of the house to escape then the killer will get a hold of you and kill you. Without fail, it always happens. What I would like to know is why do these morons think running upstairs, to the basement or even into the closet for that matter is actually going to help them? You do realize that running into a closet is basically backing yourself into a corner with no way out? Guess not cause they keep on doing it. By all means, run and hide in the closet if it makes you feel safe. I'm sure the killer won't see you standing behind all the coats.

6: Be prepared!!

You never know what's going to happen so you better be prepared for anything. The tag line "better safe then sorry" is very true in this situation. Keep some loaded guns ready for battle, a Latin book of Exorcisms. Salt, lots and lots of salt and knives, just in case. Nothing is wrong with being overly prepared, I mean If Dean Winchester can sleep with a knife and holy water under his bed then so can you.

7: Last but not least. Don't be stupid!!

I can't say this enough, if you're going to be in a Horror movie then you cannot be stupid. You can't expect to survive if you're running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. Have some common sense. Just think, if this was "real life" what would you do? You're not going to run and hide in the closet when you can run to the house down the street and call the police, right? No of course not cause in real life you're not that stupid, well for the most part you're not.


There you have it. A list of ways to survive a horror movie, these are not the only rules to live by in the horror world. They are the only ones I can come up with at 2:30 in the morning. Do you have ways that will help you survive and it wasn't mentioned on here? Then by golly go make a list of your own and tell me about it. I'm DYING to know what you all would do. You see what I just did? I said I was DYING, I just made a joke. Hahaha! I kill myself! ;)

Help Me......

Someone, please help me. I've always told people that I need a therapist who enjoys a challenge cause we all know that I am one big bucket of crazy. For the past couple of weeks I have been having a problem with writer's block and I can't seem to get over it. I can't find interesting things to write about or I'm just too lazy to find the time to write out a movie review. The only thing I seem to be able to post about is when I do Music Mondays, I can't keep doing ONLY that. It gets old after awhile and I really don't want everyone to get sick of that segment cause I want that to become a huge thing that let's me promote bands. I have a lot of goals and dreams I want to happen with this horror blog and I need some help to accomplish it. My goal is to be one of the horror writers for either FEARnet or Bloody-Disgusting. Also there is a site called BUZZNET I would like to be a horror writer for. They have a few fashion and music promoter blogs but they don't have a horror writer.

I would like to change that. Horror is starting to become a HUGE thing, to the horror fans out there horror is already huge. Now you're starting to see it more in your everyday life and it's becoming a pop culture trend. I want to be able to blog and write about all things horror and help get the word out on this wonderful genre that we love so much. There are somethings I have to do in order to try to go after that goal. I am not a professional writer I know this but I have written enough over the years to not suck, I'm not the greatest writer and I do want to get better and more professional. I would like to spruce up my writing, my only problem is I am flippin' broke and I can't afford to take any Writing/English classes and I feel the only way I'm able to do that is to buy books on Writing and Proper English and Grammar.

Growing up I've struggled with trying to find a talent, I couldn't sing because I'm tone deaf which also meant I can't play any instruments. I like to dance but not enough to make a career out of it. Cooking? no thanks. Photography, I hated that subject in school. The only true talent I had and that fit my personality and stuck with me all these years was writing. I have A.D.H.D. so my mind is always running and I'm a huge daydreamer and a lover of fantasies. I have a talent that I'm able to take the stories I have playing in my head and put it on paper and have it actually make sense. I'm very opinionated(the nice kind) and I want to get my ideas out to the world. There is a scene in the movie "The King's Speech" that stuck with me even though I didn't really enjoy that movie.

[Sees Logue is sitting on the coronation throne]

King George VI: What are you doing? Get up! You can't sit there! GET UP!
Lionel Logue: Why not? It's a chair.
King George VI: No, that. It is not a chair. T-that... that is Saint Edward's chair.
Lionel Logue: People have carved their names on it.
King George VI: [Simultaneously] That... chair... is the seat on which every king and queen has... That is the Stone of Scone you ah-are trivializing everything. You trivialize...
Lionel Logue: [Simultaneously] It's held in place by a large rock. I don't care about how many royal arseholes have sat in this chair.
King George VI: Listen to me. *Listen to me!*
Lionel Logue: Listen to you? By what right?
King George VI: Because I have a right to be heard. I have a voice!

I have a voice and I want it to be heard. I know what I want in life and what I want as a career and I am not afraid to go after it. I don't want to waste my time, day after day wishing and hoping. I want it to happen, I don't want to be stuck in retail my entire life having the "what ifs" play in the back of my mind. This is something I know I will be good at and something I can accomplish, with some help.
I posted a status on my Facebook about this topic that I thought was worthy enough to share on here.

"I have goals in life, yes you might not agree with them and you probably won't think I'll accomplish them but please keep that to yourself. Why bring me down just because you have doubts? I know what I want in life and I'm not afraid to go after it. If I'm happy with what I'm doing and I'm not hurting anyone then why can't I have that? Even if I don't succeed at least I went out and tried instead of sitting at home thinking "what if?" " - Jenny Krueger's Facebook

If anyone has any ideas or ways that can help at all with anything that I have mentioned in this post I will greatly appreciate it. :)

This Is Halloween!!

Man, I sure LOOOVE Halloween. It's the only time I can walk out of the house without getting a lot of strange looks from bystanders. :/ Haters be hating. Besides Christmas, Halloween is the only Holiday that I spend the most money on. I take this Holiday very seriously and I don't mess around. I always ask for the day off at work because I need the whole day to get ready. People tease me that when I request Halloween off I put it as a religious Holiday, hey whatever works. :D

I love the atmosphere the Holiday brings and I love the feeling you get when you walk into a Halloween costume store or a Haunted House. I feel so alive during this time and I never want it to end. I always have a hard time trying to figure out what I should be but this time I was early. I was going to be a Zombie then I was going to be Raphael from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, then I was going to be a Zombie Nurse. Buuuutt I finally made my decision of what I'm going to be and it's not going to change since I already have my costume for it. I am going to be LADY GAGA!! :D

Everyone knows I'm a die hard fan of Lady Gaga just read my letter that I wrote for her titled "Why I adore Lady GaGa." I'm excited for this Halloween cause my costume is going to be wicked. With this post being about Halloween I wanted to post a little about the background of the Holiday.

HALLOWEEN

***Halloween (or Hallowe'en) is an annual holiday observed on October 31, which commonly includes activities such as trick-or-treating, attending costume parties, carving jack-o'-lanterns, bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.

HISTORY:

Historian Nicholas Rogers, exploring the origins of Halloween, notes that while "some folklorists have detected its origins in the Roman feast of Pomona, the goddess of fruits and seeds, or in the festival of the dead called Parentalia, it is more typically linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain, whose original spelling was Samuin (pronounced sow-an or sow-in)". The name of the festival historically kept by the Gaels and celts in the British Isles which is derived from Old Irish and means roughly "summer's end".

ORIGIN OF NAME:

The word Halloween is first attested in the 16th century and represents a Scottish variant of the fuller All-Hallows-Even ("evening"), that is, the night before All Hallows Day. Although the phrase All Hallows is found in Old English (ealra hālgena mæssedæg, mass-day of all saints), All-Hallows-Even is itself not attested until 1556

SYMBOLS:
Development of artifacts and symbols associated with Halloween formed over time. For instance, the carving of jack-o'-lanterns springs from the souling custom of carving turnips into lanterns as a way of remembering the souls held in purgatory. The turnip has traditionally been used in Ireland and Scotland at Halloween, but immigrants to North America used the native pumpkin, which are both readily available and much larger – making them easier to carve than turnips. The American tradition of carving pumpkins is recorded in 1837[8] and was originally associated with harvest time in general, not becoming specifically associated with Halloween until the mid-to-late 19th century.

The imagery of Halloween is derived from many sources, including national customs, works of Gothic and horror literature (such as the novels Frankenstein and Dracula), and classic horror films (such as Frankenstein and The Mummy). Among the earliest works on the subject of Halloween is from Scottish poet John Mayne in 1780, who made note of pranks at Halloween; "What fearfu' pranks ensue!", as well as the supernatural associated with the night, "Bogies" (ghosts), influencing Robert Burns' Halloween 1785. Elements of the autumn season, such as pumpkins, corn husks, and scarecrows, are also prevalent. Homes are often decorated with these types of symbols around Halloween.

Halloween imagery includes themes of death, evil, the occult, or mythical monsters. Black and orange are the holiday's traditional colors.

Music Mondays Ft: My Darkest Days "Move your Body"

I'm having bit of a writer's block lately and I can't think of anything to post about. :( With that being said, the only thing I'm able to post about and think of is Music Mondays. I know, you guys are probably getting sick of all my Music Mondays since I've been doing one right after another. I am very sorry to anyone that is annoyed by this but I can't help it, I'm trying to keep up with my posts and this is the only way I can until I get over this damn block. Today's Music Mondays is the band My Darkest Days. Now this is a band that's more my style! ;) How I came across this band is actually kinda funny. I work in a jewelry store and my manager asked me if I wanted to listen to her "theme song." I thought why the hell not?! We're slow and I'm bored. She pulls out her Iphone 4 and shows me the music video to her song which was "Porn star Dancing" by My Darkest Days. I was in awe watching that music video cause it was pretty damn sexy and the song, WOWZA!

I giggled at the fact that my manager said this was her theme song cause I thought Bitch please, this is MY theme song! After all I wanted to be a stripper when I was 7 years old. Bahahaha! Good times. As you all know, or should know cause I swear I've mentioned it ass loads of times on here. I have really, really bad O.C.D. and it triggers to things that I like. I.E. Movies, Actors, Bands, Songs etc. So when I heard this song I became obsessed with it and the band. I got home and did my usual stalking routine and found another music video from MDD which was "Move your Body." Screw "Porn star Dancing", THIS is my theme song. Even though I adore "Porn star Dancing" for all the obvious reasons, "Move Your Body" fits more with my personality which is why I have declared "Move your Body" the theme song of Jenny Krueger. The song and music video is dark, sexy and stylish. Just the way I like it!! :D

***My Darkest Days is a Canadian rock band based in Toronto, consisting of lead singer Matt Walst, lead guitarist Sal Costa, Bassist Brendan McMillan, Drummer Doug Oliver, and keyboardist Reid Henry. They were discovered by Chad Kroeger of Nickelback, who signed them up for his production company, 604 Records.

The band was founded by Matt Walst in 2005, who was born in Norwood, Ontario, and whose older brother, Brad Walst, is the bassist for Three Days Grace. Instead of playing in his brother's band, Matt decided to form one of his own with his friends Brendan McMillan on bass guitar, Doug Oliver on drums, and Chris McMillan on lead guitar. Chris McMillan was later replaced by Paulo Neta. In 2009, a friend introduced Walst to Toronto–based singer–guitarist Sal Costa, who later became the band's guitarist, replacing Paulo Neta, who became the guitarist for Thornley. My Darkest Days has opened for many bands, including Three Days Grace, Default, Theory of a Deadman, Skillet, Papa Roach, and Hinder.

My Darkest Days won a contest called Rock Search put on by 97.7fm in St. Catharines, Ontario in 2008 with "Every Lie". This gave them time in a recording studio publicity in Niagara, Ontario.

When Chad Kroeger heard My Darkest Days' music, he was so impressed he immediately signed them to his record label. The first song they wrote after being signed was "Porn Star Dancing," which became their first single. Kroeger decided he wanted to be featured on it, along with a friend of his, Zakk Wylde, lead vocalist and lead guitarist for Black Label Society and a former guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne. Kroeger and Wylde both appear in the video, which was filmed at the Hard Rock Las Vegas Vanity nightclub. There is also a remix of the single featuring American rapper Ludacris. On their official Facebook page, My Darkest Days announced their debut eponymous album was to be released on September 21, 2010. On that album, the song "Set It on Fire" features Australian singer/guitarist Orianthi on lead guitar, known from her work with Steve Vai, Carlos Santana, and Michael Jackson. Also on the album is a collaboration with country-pop singer Jessie James, on the song "Come Undone".

The Saw 3D soundtrack released on October 26, 2010 features the single "The World Belongs to Me."

My Darkest Days was named the “Best New Band of 2010” by hardDriveXL after hitting the #1 spot on Billboard's Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks ranking, as well as #1 on FMQB’s Active Rock list. It was announced on their Facebook page that they will be entering the studio in October 2011 with Joey Moi of Mountain View records to start writing new material for their next album. My Darkest Days’ first major–label single, “Porn Star Dancing,” went gold in Canada last month.

Music Mondays: Glory Days - Can't get enough

A week or so ago I got a message on Twitter from Steve Patrick the drummer from the band Glory Days. He brought his band to my attention and I decided to check them out. To be honest I was a little afraid I wasn't going to like them cause I'm very picky when it comes to music and movies. To my surprise and relief I actually liked them. :D Their EP "Summer of Love" was released in May of this year and it's the ultimate Summer album. When I'm listening to their song "Can't get enough" I can imagine myself laying poolside while sipping a strawberry daiquiri. That's what music should be like, songs should be so intriguing that you can picture yourself in a wonderful happy place that puts you in a great mood. I love music that does that, ever since I was little I have always been a lover of day dreams which is why I have such a undying love for music.

Listening to music let's my mind wandering into a magical place buuut not every band has the talent to be able to wake up my little dream fairy. Once I hear a band that is amazing my dream fairy comes out to play. Thanks to Glory Days my dream fairy has been awaken once again. Their song "Can't get enough" is such a happy song and you can't help but smile while you're listening to it. Even though I mainly listen to hard rock music but it's also nice to have something mellow and bubbly to listen to. If you're ever feeling upset or if you're in a bad mood all you have to do is listen to "Can't get enough." I'm serious, it's THAT good! Even though they're just starting out, I see a bright future ahead of them playing big arena shows.

I know I've mentioned all this before on the rest of the bands I've posted on here but you need to know that I wouldn't of taken the time to make a post dedicated to a band if I didn't think they had talent and I didn't think they were going to go far in their music career. Even though summer has come to an end you can still turn on "Can't get enough" and picture yourself poolside sipping a strawberry daiquiri. If you think about it, their song is kind of diiiiiirty, I like it! ;)

Glory Days hails from New Jersey with Andy on vocals, Dylan on guitar, Ian on guitar, Julian on bass and Steve on the drums.
What makes this band even more awesome, the boys are pretty good looking! :D I'm a sucker for musicians.

Here is a lyric video for their song "Can't get enough", they don't have a music video for the song out yet but once they do I'll be sure to post it. :)

Remember Way Back When.........

We didn't have vampires sparkling in the sunlight??? I was talking to one of my co-workers about vampires and Twilight and it spawned this post. I was telling her that I hate vampires because Twilight ruined them for me. Stephanie Meyer took one of the greatest movie monsters and shit all over it. I also had a conversation about this with my sister a few weeks back and she said that everyone has their own opinion of how vampires are. I love my sister but I completely disagree with that, there is only ONE definition of vampires, real vampires. Thanks to Stephanie Meyer there's now two but I don't classify "Twilight vampires" as real vampires. Vampires were born from Bram Stroker's Dracula and he was no sparkly fruit cake! REAL vampires hypnotized you and sucked you're blood turning you into a vampire.



When you think of vampires what should come to mind is a dark, sick and twisted, blood thirsty vampire, NOT the Twilight vampires. One of my friends asked me what has happened to the good old fashioned evil vampire and I told her that vampires went to Hell when Twilight was born. Even though my favorite movie monster are zombies I still loved vampires and I want the real ones to come back and for Twilight to fall in a hole. How dare Stephanie Meyer ruin the vampire generation, she should be ashamed of herself. Twilight is pretty much a slap in Bram Stroker's face and I feel bad. Stroker created something magnificent, Dracula is such a beautiful creature and you end up lusting over him, at least I did. ;) Even though I hate vampires I LOVE Dracula and the whole story of him.

All I want is for things to go back to how they use to be and how it should. The Twilight vampire is not a real vampire and we shouldn't call them vampires, we should call them sparkly fruit cakes. I've been tempted to write Stephanie Meyer a letter letting her know how mad I am for what she did to vampires. She needs to know that there are a lot of people out there hating her and angry for what she did and what she created. It's not like her books are even good, I've read the first 3 books and tried to read the 4Th but I just couldn't. I thought the books were okay enough to make me want to see the movie and I was even excited about it, I'm embarrassed to admit that. When you think about it, the books are kinda lame and she's not the greatest writer. I'm not too fond of her writing and I won't read any other books that she's written. Stephen King even said in an interview that she was a horrible writer and that the Twilight books aren't very good.



If Stephen King doesn't like a certain writer and books then you know something is wrong. He is the Master of Horror after all and he's won shit loads of awards and almost all of his books were made into movies. I just love how all the Twilight fans try to stick up for Stephanie Meyer and Twilight calling Stephen King a horrible writer and saying Meyer is better. Really? Riiiiight! Stephanie Meyer doesn't hold a candle to Stephen King, he kicks her ass in more ways then one. I just have one simple request, vampires going back to their Gorey roots and Twilight going bye-bye. If Stephanie Meyer ever reads this I just have 3 words for you. SHAME. ON. YOU!!!!

A Late Music Mondays: I Like To Dance - Hot Chelle Rae

I was going to post this on my Monday but I have been up since 6am so I passed out around 10pm. I didn't want to wait till next Monday to post this so I decided to do a Late Music Mondays, Tuesday Edition. The band/ song I'm featuring for this post is I Like To Dance from Hot Chelle Rae. The first time I heard HCR, I was driving in my car and their song "Tonight, Tonight" came on the radio and I was like "Dude, this song is bangin!" When I got home I decided to look them up and I'm very glad that I did. This band has so much talent and I know they're going to go far. When I was "stalking" them I came across their music video for the song "I Like To Dance." That is one of the coolest songs you will every hear. Listening to that song makes me want to rip off all of my clothes and start dancing in my bra and panties. :D I really like how the music video has a little 80's flare to it cause I love everything that has to do with the 80's.

The only thing I don't like about the music video is that Stephanie Pratt is in it and I'm not too fond of her. Besides that minor thing the video is awesome, so is the song. Once you watch the video and listen to the song you'll understand what I mean about ripping my clothes off. If you haven't heard of this band then you are seriously missing out because their songs are amazing and the guys aren't too bad to look at either. ;)

They were signed to Jive Records in October 2008, and then began work on their first album.

After being signed with Jive Records in 2008, Hot Chelle Rae began work on their debut album with producers Eric Valentine, Butch Walker, and Matt Radosevich. The album, Lovesick Electric, was released on October 27, 2009.
