Winstooooon….
The Movie: Ghostbusters II
The Scene: The one in the subway. Everyone has fun with the echoes in the tunnel until Winston’s voice doesn’t bounce back. But something else says, “Winston”…and then they’re surrounded by a bunch of heads on spikes.
It’s starting to get spoooooky…
The Movie: Rocky Horror Picture Show
The Scene: Frankenfurter (spelling?) pulls away the dinner table cloth to reveal Eddie (Meat Loaf)’s dead, disemboweled body.
Context: My brother and I had watched a special behind the scenes/history of the making of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I was…8…9…10…somewhere around there. Anybut, after the behind the scenes/history of the making of, they showed the whole movie uncut.
Everything was fine, great. Until Tim Curry pulled that dining table cloth away. My young eyes couldn’t EXACTLY comprehend what I was seeing, but I knew I didn’t like it. I had nightmares about Tim Curry as Frankenfurter (spelling?!) serving my disemboweled bits for dinner for about a week.
LOVE the movie though.
P.S.- I didn’t get to watch the bedroom scenes when I was a kid. Our parents made sure of that.
Somewhere out there…
The Movie: An American Tail
The Scene: The reveal of the Giant Mouse of Minsk. The animation style not only terrifies the cats, but it also terrified child me.
P.S. – this is the last kids movie. We start getting real spooky tomorrow.
Kids movies can be scary…
The Movie: The Brave Little Toaster
The Scene: The opening dream sequence where a clown dressed as a firefighter leans close to the camera and says (while his lips move around his teeth) “run”. The image alone is terrifying, but the creepy whisper voice the clown speaks with is awful.
Not a horror movie…
BUT! As a kid, Sharp Tooth terrified me. Especially during the fight with Little Foot’s mom and when he chased the kiddo dinosaurs into the thorn bushes.
October 1st movie is…
The scene represented here is when a Killer Klown from outer space drinks the blood of a human trapped in a cotton candy ball thing with a silly straw.
This was the first scene I ever saw from this movie (it was on TV at the time) and not only did the klown designs terrify me, but the idea they were trapping humans to drink their blood…
Horrifying.
Last year…
For the month of October I (poorly) drew scenes from horror movies that scared me, shocked me, or stuck with me from childhood or beyond.
This was relegated to Instagram, but this year I’m sharing as many platforms as possible….mostly because the other list I did was horror books on my Twitter account and I forgot to make that list and seeing as how it’s October…yeah, just gonna do the movie one.
Anybut, the next post will be the first (poorly) drawn scene.
These will be in no particular order or rank. Also, there will be a few movies that aren’t technically horror movies, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t have scarring scenes.
See photo below…
Not worth the wait, I know, but I was proud of it.
Don’t mind the strange hand on my shoulder….just a boy who won’t grow up.
Having a few flashbacks…
Rehearsal today provided a few flashbacks to a show I worked on last year…or maybe two years ago? I can’t really remember cuz’ I REALLY try to forget that show.
Some day I’ll get into the grimy details. For now, just know it involved 4 men, a handshake, and egos.
Today the air brimmed with similar energy to an event that happened during that show…I was prepared for shouting, but oddly the ones involved today were more mature about how they handled the tension.
I’ll save the story for a day when I have more time to give it justice….also I wrote this post cuz’ I’m somewhere I can’t easily load pictures…so instead of a photo of me in my Smee costume from last night you get this vague post.
Anybut, maybe I’ll upload the photo once I get somewhere with better internet.
Going to a birthday party tonight…
It’s for a man turning 30. It’s Peter Pan themed costume party…
I shall be going as a female Smee. I call her Smee-ette.
I’ll post pictures of my costume…if I remember. Just updating you all on my life at this point.
I also have rehearsal until 6pm and the party is at 7pm…
…..and I have to record about seven more videos and edit twelve (including the seven I still need to record) before Wednesday and I have to finish my rough draft before January and I still have about 20,000 words to go on THAT and I have to finish editing a friend’s book before November and I have to keep up on this blog and I have to keep up on my OTHER blog for my super secret second life (not really THAT super secret really) and I have to make sure I remember to go see a show someone I know is working on Friday and I have to get through rehearsals and tech week for my current job and find time to finish things for the other other show that I help repair and build things for and I have to find time to hang out with my friends and I have to find time to sleep and I have to find time to eat…..AND I have to find the time for my usual, ritualistic, must watch horror movies for Halloween…
WHERE’S THE TIME?!
Anybut…Smee-ette. I’ll post that picture when/if I remember to take a picture of it.
