Re-Watching Hellraiser: Hellworld (2005)!

Getting dressed up, wearing gear from your favorite video game & heading to a themed mansion for debauchery, illicit affairs & pleasures of the flesh...sounds like live action role play. Adult LARPing! I don't know how pleasure/pain demons feel about that!

Re-Watching Hellraiser: Hellseeker (2002)!

There are plenty of gifts you can give someone to show your feelings on about them on your anniversary. Thoughtful gifts, expensive ones, last minute, thoughtless, insensitive, crude, tacky, or vindictive...remember, you earn what you get in return!

Nothing is more effective at calming the public and building confidence that the situation is under control than a heavily armed task force in Hazmat gear, rounding up everyone and containing them in a jail like facility with no explanation! Just ask the people that gave the orders!

Re-Watching Hellraiser: Inferno (2000)!

It's good to know that in the afterlife, you're forced to live a repeating cycle of nightmares that your life choices constructed! If you've been good, you'll be surrounded by loved ones & content for eternity! If your lazy, I hope we get a comfy couch!!

Resident Evil: Extinction (2007)

I think that zombies in the desert have shorter life-spans than zombies in other areas. Between the heat, the sand & wind. They'd be bones in no time!

Re-Watching Hellraiser: Bloodline (1996)!

Surely, when you are in a situation where things might go sour, or a decision you're about to make has a chance or being so bad it won't just affect you, but multiple generations of your bloodline...you can take some extra time to make the right choice.

Regardless of how bad Prom goes, or whether it is interrupted by zombies or not, you should find time for one dance. It's the kind of event that memories are made from. I mean, you'll be chopping up zombies long after the Prom ends, so take some time when it counts! #horror #zombies #dance #prom

Just Watched Shivers (1975)!

On a self-contained remote island, the residents fall victim to a sexually transmitted parasites that takes over their host so they become violent sex obsessed creatures who will spread the parasite with anyone & everyone they can get their hands on!

Re-Watching Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth (1992)!

We always assume demons want to come to the surface and make it another Hell. Isn't it possible that they just want some good food, some cool weather for a change, & maybe see some sights? Who wouldn't want a vacation from fire, torture & suffering?

Re-Watching Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988)!

I like to believe that in this great big world that there is at least one Doctor that works with mental patients & actually wants to help them & not just trying the 'beat them till their sane' method, or the old "help them summon torture demons" method!

Someday a giant boar will rise up & lay down the wrath of millions of slaughtered pigs upon this pork loving world! Unfortunately, we humans won't get the message because our minds will be thinking that giant wild boars, mean giant free-range bacon...& that sounds pretty dang tasty!

Re-Watching Hellraiser (1987)!

I'm not usually a fan of warning labels, but do love puzzles, & when solving something as complicated as a puzzle box, I would like a bit of a warning that denizens of the pleasure & pain realm would appear to torture me for eternity, I would like a little heads up!

Re-Watching Vicious Fun (2020)!

Not everyone deserves a support group to get them through their tough times. I don't think I want a serial killer to learn how to cope when they start having doubts or get tips & strategies on how to elude the police or find peace so they can sleep better!

Interpretive dance can also be interpreted differently by the people that come watch it. I personally was deeply moved by the emotional depth show in the story of a bicycle handlebar streamer as it comes to term with its own mortality as fads come & go! #horror #dance #story #interpretation #meaning

I remember when these extended edition were all the rage, and often the additions were pointless...adding 45 seconds of all new footage! Some were decent, some were just cash grabs. I miss mass produced DVDs where they would just include the footage as deleted scenes.

Re-Watching Malignant (2021)!

Whenever people black out, it always turns out that they were doing the most violent & crazy things because their evil side took over! Do you think there are horrible people that black out & wake up learning they donated to charity or volunteered to help the homeless?

I've begun working on a complex mathematical equation that will prove that the quantity of Neon used in the construction of a Crucifix, will result in a decrease in efficiency against the thwarting of vampires! I've got plenty of neon crucifixes but not many vampires wanting to help test the theory!

I never knew there was two versions...now I'm curious though.

Re-Watching The Frighteners (1996)!

Until advancements in ghostbusting occur, the only way we could fight ghosts is to wait until we die & then we can face them ghost to ghost! Unfortunately, the longer we live, the older a ghost we'll become! What's the perfect age to die & start ghosting?

Re-Watching Little Monsters (2019)!

It takes a special kind of parent to sign off on a school taking their child on a field trip to zombie infected petting farm! To allow them to learn how we get milk, eggs, chicken, bacon, & fend off a lumbering zombie horde with nothing more than gardening tools!

There is something about a 1970's vampire that is just the epitome of vampire fashion! It could be the big medallions, the unbuttoned frilly shirt, the smoking jacket...but I think mostly it is the collars that can best described by its epic wingspan! #horror #fashion #vampire #70s #collar #blood

Re-Watching Killer Klowns From Outer Space (1988)!

A circus tent in the middle of a forest can only mean one thing...Forest Clowns...& for those that don't know, forest clowns have a darker sense of humor than any other clown variety. They're still funny, but not everyone appreciates their humor!

We're at that pivotal moment in history where everything has to be spelled out for us specifically! We know not to run with sharp objects...but have they said we shouldn't ice skate with sharp objects? How about regular skating? Is a scythe sharp enough to be dangerous? How about a pizza cutter?

Re-Watching The Burbs (1989)!

Living in the Burbs, I can honestly say I know nothing about my neighbors. I'm lucky to even know the names of the people right next door, let alone what they do for fun! What would surprise me, is if the neighbors weren't concerned about what I do for fun though.
