Blogtoberfest – Five Scary Movies – Mya Lairis

My top five scary movies are: 1. Trilogy of Terror– is my all time scary movie. There is just something about that damn doll, like maybe it gnawed my ankles off in a past life or something but I have only watched this film once. Trying to get up the nerve to do it again, but…that doll! 2. Squirm– I have no issue with snakes, at all…they are tasty in fact but earthworms, shrieking, no-eyes having, able to be cut into pieces and still live, burrowing under the skin…Hell naw. 3. Event Horizon– When I first saw this film it scared the crap out of me. Dimensional terrors usually hit home with the terror mark in me and that the space ship had breached the dimension to Hell and was inescapable…yeah. I have been able to watch this a few times however and still, its a shitty deal for… Continued

Blogtoberfest – Urban Legends – Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine

As part of Blogtoberfest and the season of Halloween in general, it’s always fun to take a look at the urban legends which stay a part of our pop culture. Every state seems to have their own, and some states have more than one. Some of the urban legends have found their way onto as in this case. The Lost Dutchman’s Gold Mine is a legend, that, much .like many legends, is steeped in fact. It is, obviously, a gold mine located in the Superstition Mountains of Arizona. As legends will go, there are many stories that circulate around how to find the mine, leading to people actually trying to find it. And, yes, some have perished on their quest for the riches.

Blogtoberfest – Stephen King's Pet Sematary

Horror is different for everyone. I don’t think the “experts” can agree on what horror is and thus there are tons of movies and books that represent the horror genre, as it should be. I also believe that horror is different depending on where you are in your life. What’s represents horror for a twenty-year-old might be old-hat to a forty year old. Books that resounded for me in my twenties are just “eh” now that I’m a lovely seasoned woman of a certain age. But Stephen King’s Pet Semetary broke that mold. It’s just as frightening now as when I first read it many years ago. Here’s the blurb “Sometimes dead is better….”When the Creeds move into a beautiful old house in rural Maine, it all seems too good to be true: physician father, beautiful wife, charming little daughter, adorable infant son — and now an idyllic home.
