Magical Mondays
Writing Wednesdays
Thinking Thursdays
Freaky Fridays
(vlogs may become a regular as well but I haven't quite decided on a day)
With adding in some new elements, I believe to keep myself, and others, coming back on a regular basis. I have so much more to teach people than giving insight to my writing habits. I hope you all will enjoy the new set up as I plan on.
Magical Mondays will be any and all magical topics that I run across. Magical books, magical ideas, and heck, maybe magical love. It can be quite broad in the topics.
Writing Wednesdays will be anything about writing, may it be mine or others. Tips and tricks, found or used by myself, on blogs will be posted here as well.
Thinking Thursdays is going to be inspirational days. Writers are asked all the time what sort of things inspire us, so I figured I would post where Ideas spring from.
Freaky Fridays I think will be one of my favorites. I love all things freaky--no that wasn't a dirty joke. Fridays would be about anything scary that freaks me out. This topic could get interesting!
So without further ado.....!!!
THE FIRST FREAKY FRIDAY!!!
So if any of you know me personally, you know I am a horror movie geek. I love a good scare--even if that means not sleeping in my bedroom and choosing the couch with all the lights on (thanks Charlie). I recently had a friend call, at 2am no less, and tell me about this freaky movie he just watched and he thought I should check it out. I heard about this movie when it hit theaters but I hadn't thought about it since. If you are a freaky movie fan then you should check out Insidious!!!
Doesn't this poster look awesome? Little kid scary stuff freaks the crap outta me the most :S
What I loved most about this movie was the old school soundtrack. The creepiness of it reminded me of all the 70s horror films I loved so much growing up. My dad introduced me to the classics around Junior High and that is also when I fell in love with them. So many scary movies have numbed me over the years but this movie made me jump like crazy. It brought me back to the days of curling my feet up on the couch so the monsters wouldn't grab me.
Not only was the soundtrack awesome, but the story line was an emotional one. I could only imagine what I would do in the place of the boy's parents. Renai Lambert did a brilliant acting job in my opinion. I love alot of her movies, so I was pleased to see her portraying the mother in this one. She was my favorite character out of the leads. From the minor characters, Tucker (aka Angus Sampson) added a bit of a comedy relief as a ghost hunter. His bit with the flashlight cracked me up. Also, Lorraine Lambert (aka Lin Shaye) reminded me of renowned demonologist Lorraine Warren, which I thought was interesting. I also am guessing that is why they gave her the same first name.
I won't go into detail but the spirits were pretty freaky. I wish I could of saw a bit more of the main demon up close though. I am into fx and knowing that Aaron Sims was a big part of this film got me excited, but I didn't get that up close shot I was looking for. I must admit that I liked the beginning of the film better than the end. The two parts didn't seem to match up well in my eyes. The story went in a strange direction, not that I am completely complaining, but the jumpiness dulled down as it got to the ending. I was expecting some kind of big startle at the end but there just wasn't in my eyes.
All in all, it was a great watch and brought me back to being a scared little kid biting her nails, so I couldn't have asked for more. It also inspired me for a future story! If you haven't watched it, give it a try!
HAPPY SLEEPING!
