Well...Actually, my initial reaction, when I read it earlier was Janis Joplin...  ? But, the throat looked cut on the pic to me...as tho' it's spilling blood... And that chunk out of her head could symbolize where an ax had bitten... So, the other side of my brain, said, no, Lizzie B...LOL... |

You guys! You make me feel so old! Let me give you one more hint: The movie that this character is from created a whole new type of monster in horror films. The movie this character is from spawned two sequels in the 70s, a remake of the original film in the 90s, a remake of the second sequel in 2002 and a NEW sequel in 2005 with another one on the way. Patty Hearst is DEAD wrong. Just ask Romero... ;D if you don't get it this time I'll tell you. ;D

You're not old, Rob...Just older than Vix and me...gigglegiggle...We were eating mudpies and spiders when you were watching this movie...Which seems to have effected our memory banks...To much extra protein and minerals in our diets as children probably killed our ability to remember things...LOL...I know, as soon as you say who this character is and what movie she's from...Vix and I will be smacking our foreheads saying, I knew that...LOL...Night of the Living Dead? Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman? No, that was the fifties... Vix? Are your memory banks jiggled yet? Cause, me, this little old mudpie eater, is drawing major blanks on this...Hey, at least we didn't eat boogers, like the boys did and still do...LOL...Have you ever kept count of how many men one sees, poking fingers up their noses at traffic lights? And then putting the same fingers, in their mouths? Do some people think, when they get in their vehicle, they've donned a suit of invisibility? Ivy and I play this game sometimes, going down the road...How many can we count picking their noses in their cars? It's bad enough seeing guys do it...Some look like they are trying to tickle their brain, their fingers are so far up their noses...But, when we catch women doing it...Grosser than gross! LOL...We freak out! If Vix doesn't get the answer, please do tell it, Rob...Or we're going to sneak over and take the tires off your bicycle...And swear some of your students did the deed... Ya'll take care...Running into the day is me! Nir. |

i like scary moives - not all that
mindless slice and dice stuff
so popular these days
the old scifi with an actual plot
but still i draw a blank on who
this one is couldn't be fonda
or roes mary's baby or
those leggy prehistoric films
but something to do with
mental decline...
Great poem regardless
seems everyone loves
a good mystery
looking for mr good bar
no that couldn't be it
not the 'shinning'
oh but could it be
the exorcist linda blair?
now that was a walk
on the dark side.
doesn't quite fit
the character
in the poem.
Perhaps it was
an 'Alien'? But
the time date
isn't right.

Okay, I'll let you guys off the hook... though it's really been fun. he character is from Romero's original Night of the Living Dead (you got it, Ani!). The pic is the little girl who turns into a flesh eating zombie (Romero's creation), mutilates her mother with a bricklayer's trowel... then eats her. ;D To tell the truth, I like the look of the little girl who did the same roll in the 90s remake and may change the pic out. This was fun!

Perhaps it was an 'Alien'? But the time date isn't right. I think the big problem with todays horror is there's too much focus on special effects and not enough on story, character and dialogue. I've tried watching the Saw, the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre but can't get through them because there's just not enough story to keep me going. Horror works best when the people making the films have something to say about fear. To me the guys today haven't really explored or have told me anything I don't know. When the Gothic writers first started the trend, they were out to explore fear as a higher form of consciousness. Now a days the film makers want us to stay unconscious. |

Took me enough guesses, Rob? LOL...I was never allowed to watch that movie as a child...And to this day, I've never seen it or the Exorcist movie with Linda Blair... Nor the Tx Chainsaw Mass...And I've only seen one of the Friday the 13th movies...The first one...I watched horror films in my first incarnation as a bride...LOL...Between 16 to 20-ish... It was like I was making up for lost time...Horror movies and cartoons were for the most part HEAVILY censored in my mother's home...We did get to watch the Abbot and Costello versions of "horror" and the Charlie Brown cartoons, occasionally...In retrospect, probably one of the better things my mother did as a mother was to censor what we watched... As in my opinion, today's horror films since the 80's knock people unconscious through subliminal desensitization: all gore and nothing more...Of course, I have exceptions to that list...The Others, Sixth Sense, The Shining [though it didn't follow the book and I preferred the book version] Dark Water, comes to mind, off-hand. Speaking of Linda Blair...TL...That was a greatly funny poem on cinematic horror!!!! Had me rofl. Rob, for what my opinion is worth...I like the gal you've got up... Kind of grown rather fond of the wraithian hiefer...Why not do the piece with the other horrorsprite and just put it in this thread, for us to see it, too? Have them both in here...Dopplegangers of one another...LOL...Just a thought... |

Not much into horor movies Rob, but I love books. I went to the Texas chainsaw Mascre,when it came out the 1st time, but spent most of in with my head burried in hubby's armpit. I do love reading it though. One of my all time favorite books is Rose Matter--- a Stephen King book. Ido like the pychological thrillers tho, loved the Shinning. I loved the puzzle tho Rob. We should start a thread like that. Mysteries. Vixen

A lot of people feel the same way about modern horror films... too much focus on special effects, not enough on story and dialogue. But TCM is a great film that started the whole Hack and Slasher genre. The Exorcist is really cool too, although I laughed through it the first time I saw it. After awhile I got to love it. |

There is a different feel that comes with reading Horror as opposed to watching it in a movie. |

Thanks, Soul! It kind of creeeps me put. I wrote it fast and way late at night. It was fun.
Ani and Vix, if you have never seen it, you might enjoy John Carpenter's The Fog... not the new but the one her made with Debra Hill back in the 80's. It's just a little ghost story... but spooky.

Love the gothic horror novels Rob. And Sabs, absolutely loved Geralds Game and Misery. I really love the story of horror, not the movie stuff. I like my special effects in movies like Star Wars, Star Trek type movies. I detest slasher movies, noone needs to see all that gore. Give me a good old Gothic romance that has some insane spinster tying up her exs and torturing them til death and having an unexpected victum find the decaying bodies and having to trick their way out of her lair. Love that stuff. And Rob if you haven't... you need to read Stephen King's Rose Matter. Talk about a psychological thriller. Totally trippin. lol Vixen

Really gave up on King after reading Dead Zone (I think my favorite of his next to The Stand)... Everything after that just didn't catch my attention... but a lot of his later work really made good movies.

The Fog with Adrienne Barbeau playing the character of the radio disc-jockey, Rob? If you mean that one, that one I've seen and it was a goooooood one...But, then, I was a big Adrienne Barbeau fan back in the day...Loved her in Escape From New York...Season Hubley was in that one, too...I think one of the last films she made, before she passed from this dimension to the next one...My nice way of saying, expired...LOL...
You are so on the money, Vix...If he's not read Rose Madder, Rob should...
"I'm really Rosie,
And I'm Rosie Real,
You better believe me,
I'm a great big deal..."
~Maurice Sendak.
"A bloody
egg yolk. A burnt hole
spreading in a sheet. An en-
raged rose threatening to bloom."
~May Swenson.
Just a little something something from the page before the prologue page of the book to whet his appetite...LOL...This is so a must read...Yes, it is...Perhaps, the Chief aka Staff Guy, shouldn't read it though...He might never visit America, again...ggglgggl...jk...Winks at the Chief...
Ya'll take care, Nir.

Ha! In the box at the same time, Rob...But, you posted faster than me. The Stand and The Dead Zone are wonderous SK books! The Talisman was great...Loved the "Fushing Feef" line...Bout drove me nuts trying to figure out what that little "devil" was saying...LOL...
I laughed so hard when it was explained in the book what he was saying...Fushing Feef...
Still crack up just thinking of that line and love to find the chance to use it myself...LOL...
