In today's post, we actually prove that it's not just the cats that are curious...
I'm not sure if that's going to help the dogs' side in the Dogs Vs Cats debate, but with Halloween being so close, it was strongly felt that this video had to be re-posted (we posted it a few years ago in 'Forward and Share', but as the old site is now deleted, etc... etc... etc...) due to its weirdness and Halloween-ish feeling..
Hopefully dog owners will forgive me and see it as what it is: a funny video-clip, nothing else... Oh and, by the way, the video might be fake.
To be fair, someone should have taught him how to read, I suppose...I mean, going into a building called 'Tower of Terror' at night and on his own was like asking for something scary to happen, wasn't it?
Watch the video clip and see how the poor dog ends his nocturnal visit to Disneyland, Paris.
With Halloween being, once again, around the corner, today's post has to be the mother of all timely posts as it's truly 150% horror related. We're not going to trick you though.... we're going to treat you instead!
Deanna Mascle, our Guest Writer for the night, is not only giving us a crash course on horror movies but also offering us some very important tips on how to avoid being killed when finding ourselves in a horror movie kind of situation as well... One day, you might thank her for that.
You've probably heard about him, you might even have read some of his books and you've definitely watched movies based on his written works....Yes, we're talking about Edgar Allan Poe, the Master of Horror. His life has been fictionalised in the movie "The Raven" and, guess what? We've added the trailer on here so that you can all get into that Halloween mood, in time for... well... yes... Halloween.
Lots of Horror/Halloween related links are there too, for you to check out, just in case what's on offer today is not enough to keep you going until H Day...
Enjoy... Have fun... Stay safe and Happy Halloween! Loup Dargent
You can eat them...
You can carve them...
And you can even paint them.
If you like playing with your food, Halloween could be the perfect time to do that without being told off...
All you need to do is follow the instructions given by JoAnne Westcott, our Guest Writer for today, and you'll now have a wonderful golden excuse that you can use for many years to come.
"Painted pumpkins, now that could be a great Halloween treat for all those little "trick-or-treaters" methinks... I mean, hey, that would definitely be healthier than giving sweets, don't you think?
Oh, alright then... Have it your own way."
We've added a video-clip to today's post...
It's about,well... yes, you've guessed it... pumpkins.
But, it's an alternative take on Halloween
and what we do to the poor things at that time of year...
Watch it, but be warned: After that, you won't look at pumpkins the same way ever again.
The ancient custom of wearing Halloween masks, just like Halloween itself, goes back to the ancient ritual called Samhain, the origins of modern Halloween. Unlike Halloween masks today, which are worn for fun and trick-or-treating, Halloween masks during Samhain were used for religious purposes, believed to protect them from evil spirits and ghosts. Halloween masks have evolved since those first ceremonies 2,000 years ago into a festive way to celebrate Halloween, with young children parading around in masks during trick-or-treat. Here are the true origins of Halloween masks and how they've evolved over the centuries.
'That important and vital question on almost everyone's lips... The one that, once answered, could make the ultimate difference between staying alive and ending up as a creature of the night... But, also, the one that not many people dare asking aloud.'
Extract from Loup d'Argent's (unpublished) Memoirs.
"Fluffy, a vampire slayer based in England, has to defeat the evil Count Von Whedon when he gets his hands on a magical ring giving him surprising new powers..."
If you haven't watched a fan film before, this one is probably the one that will make you want for more... It's a visual gem made by Henry Burrows and Foiled Productions. Fortunately, since I've written my original review, Henry and Foiled Productions have made the film available more widely... Yep, instead of the short opening sequence that I had originally added then, you can now watch and enjoy the whole thing! So, get the popcorn ready, get comfortable and have fun...
"Light-hearted Buffy spoof by
some British fans of the show"
Directed by: Henry Burrows Written by: Henry Burrows (writer) and Richard Hassall (additional scriptwork) Music written by: Mike Varty, Sue Element and Dave Hobbs
Performed by: Noscaferatu Cast: Louise Anne Bateman, Paul Andrade, Kat Whitaker, Peter Kidson, Steven McCombe
Not The Chosen One With Buffy Anne Summers having been, up to the last
season, the chosen one, the possibility for any potential
slayer to become the world's saviour and kick lots of
demonic and vampiric backsides was very remote to say
the least... Being number eleven on the list, Fluffy Winters, the slaying English rose, kind of knew somehow that her big day would never happen. Fortunately, not all demons and vampires were stupid enough to stay in the vicinity of Sunnydale and, even if by doing so they missed the chance to appear briefly on the popular TV show or even bed the former cheerleader, some of them chose to play it safe by keeping as far away from it as possible. Well, they thought it would be safer anyway... Welcome To Sunningdale Sunningdale is a town situated in the South of England, and Fluffy is that town's protector against the forces of evil. Like the other slayer, she has her own Watcher, Ted Farmer - an American who can't join the Watchers' Council because of his nationality, as well as her own Scoobies: her best friends Alex Harrison - Fluffy's personal wooden stakes handler, and Ash Johannesburg - the first ever person in Sunningdale to have been saved by Fluffy and a wannabe witch. Together, they are a force to be reckoned with... The local demons and vampires quickly discovered that fact the hard way. Not The TV Show Those vampires and demons that haven't met Fluffy and her team yet and are not convinced by their peers' testimonies should watch the short movie conveniently titled 'Fluffy The English Vampire Slayer' and eventually learn from it... Okay, the vampires' make up is closer to the Buffy movie itself than the BTVS TV show but, it's still somehow a must for all the Buffy fans 'out there'. That what it is primarily: a fan film made in homage
to the Slayer as well as being for its makers a fun way of giving something back to the Buffy universe... and it works in my book. Where And How? For those interested in knowing more about the English slayer and her friends, she has a website where you can find more info and details as well as being able to download the short-movie free right here.
