It’s Not Just About The Candy

October 28, 2008October 28, 2008 / Anita Marie / Leave a comment

There’s a lot of things I like about Halloween-

first of all

nobody thinks it’s weird that I have a skeleton in my living room- sitting in a chair- by my phone-I bought him from Bucky’s Boneyard, I named him Edgar

(click the pic to got to Bucky’s Site)

I also love the bite sized candy snacks because I’m not happy with sitting down and eating a boring old candy bar- I like them best with wrappers decorated with bats and ghosts and zombies stamped on them.

Most of all I like anything dealing with Zombies because they are the dumbest monsters to ever be dreamed up and I take a certain weird pleasure in biting their candy heads off.

You know, before I do a little trephination.

But most of all I enjoy Halloween because of the movies-

the vendors put them all out there, old ones, new ones, whatever, which is good because they’re all good-in their weird way.

These are the best of the Strange and Weird-

And my personal favorites.

Enjoy!

The legend of La Llorona – a Medea-like myth that has haunted the Americas for more than 500 years. Now this supernatural spirit hunts again. Over the course of one ominous day this anguished soul terrorizes New York City escalating her appetite for vengeance. A young mother comes under her spell and collides with two detectives a witch/curandera – and the many who suffer this horrifying vengeance. Evocative and suspenseful haunting and disturbing this supernatural thriller brings to life the chilling legend proving there is no rest for a mother who murders her child and that La Llorona is real

Now this film is one of my favorite Sci-Fi Horror films of all time I only watch it once a year so as to not ruin the experience for myself-

I knew it as 5 Million Years To Earth, but it’s listed at IMDB as

I like this review, it’s from IMDB.

Workers excavating at an underground station in London uncover the skeletal remains of ancient apes with large skulls. Further digging reveals what is at first believed to be an unexploded German bomb from World War II. Missile expert Colonel Breen is brought in to investigate, accompanied by Professor Bernard Quartermass. When the interior of the “missile” is exposed, a dead locust-like creature that resembles the devil is found. It is determined by Quartermass that these “locusts” are evil Martians who altered the brains of our simian ancestors to eventually lay claim to the Earth. When Quartermass’s suspicion that the missile can reactivate the dormant evil in humans is confirmed, all hell breaks loose.

And it wouldn’t be Halloween without

Arsenic and Old Lace.

I mean the story is about two sweet old ladies who are cold blooded killers

and they bury their victims in their basement

They also love to bake and celebrate Halloween.

What is there NOT to love about a story like this one?

Now what shall we cover next?

The Indiana Toilet Monster

September 8, 2007October 5, 2010 / Anita Marie / 7 Comments

In the spirit of the upcoming holiday (I don’t mean my birthday…I mean Halloween) I thought I’d post some nifty Halloween Related Urban Legends from now until the BIG DAY.

I’ve decided to start with

The Toilet Monster

The toilet monster is a girl named Carmen who was pushed down into a sewer by her classmates and died. Carmen Whitehead lived in Indiana, so the story goes- and for some reason it’s important to mention that so I did.

Okay…back to the story.

So shortly after Carmen meets her death in the Sewer this post shows up at MySpace:

If you don’t repost this saying:

They Pushed Her Down The Sewer

Carmen will get you…

To fill you in, Carmen from Indiana will come up from you Shower or Toilet and drag you down to where she is in the sewers and then she’ll kill you.

I think it would be way more efficient to kill you first and then flush you down the toilet- but hey I didn’t write this.

I did however enjoy it because I can’t help but to wonder how many of you will think about Carmen The Indiana Toilet Monster the next time you visit the smallest room in the house.

I think that’s pretty darn funny.

Urban Legends…. they are more then amusing stories they are the gift that keeps on giving.

I wrote this a couple of years ago- and it’s one of my favorites because of the two nameless ‘characters’.

I don’t where they came from but I like them-they’re bone chilling.

With that….

Enjoy!

There’s something buried in the Gardener’s Shed and why would someone bury something that wasn’t dead yet?

The thing in the shed isn’t buried very deep, so if you were to crawl over the dead fall in front of the door and were able to push your way through he matted cobwebs and you didn’t mind the smell of rotting leaves and small unburied creatures you’d find there under the window a slightly raised mound of earth.

Were you to look at the raised mound long enough and the light somehow managed to find it’s way through the little panes of glass covered with dust and dirt you’d think someone was lying there on their side with one arm cradling their cheek and the other laying comfortably on their side.

Wouldn’t you?

If you brought a flashlight and the beam was bright you might think you could see something wrong with the entire left side of the sleeping figure’s face. You might think that maybe that the face was gone, smashed in by something like that shovel in the corner.

Isn’t that right?

They might wonder what you were doing back there in a rotting shed behind the Manor House in the dead of Night, they might see you take the shovel and try to smooth and pound that little raised mound of Earth flat.

That’s what they’d see wouldn’t they?

So I must ask you again, why would you bury something that is not dead yet?

Go ahead you can tell me.

Just keep your hands were I can see them.
