Best Candy You Could Ever Possibly Recieve While Trick r' Treating

With trick r' treating on the horizon, I wanted to highlight one of the best parts of Halloween. FREE CANDY!!!
So, here's a list of the ten best candies that you could ever get while trick r' treating.

10. Dots


Maybe it's just me, but I absolutely adore Dots. Like, they're like little rays of sunshine in dot form.

9. Miniture Kit-Kats


Again, maybe it's just me, but aren't these things just delicious?

8. Mini Hershey Bars


Miniture chocolate. Need I say more?

7. Mini Snickers


Who doesn't love Snickers?

6. Mini Milky Way


One of my personal favorite candies, and in miniture form!

5. Full-size Hershey bar


Since I live not too far away from Hershey, I seem to find these things everywhere. But, it's always nice when you get one for free..

4. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups


Chocolate and peanut butter. Greatest combination. EVER.

3. M&M's


Chocolate that doesn't melt in your hands. What could be better?

2. Reese's Pieces


Otherwise known as the only candy-coated chocolate candy better than M&M's.

1. Full-size Milky Way


Of course, I saved the best for last. What could ever be better than a full-size Milky Way in your candy bag?

Lamest and Most Idiotic Costumes Ever

1. The Political Costume


Last year, one of the most popular costumes (in my area at least), was a mask of Sarah Palin. Everywhere I looked, a Palin stood, holding out a bag for candy, or just standing on a street corner. Why? Seriously, there are much more creative costumes then dressing up as some idiotic politician that no one truly cares all that much about.

2. The Sexual Inuendo Costume


Why? Just...why? I mean, I get it. You're a couple, you have sex, that's all fine and dandy. But do you really need to flaunt that fact? Seriously...it really does get old.

3. The Jersey Shore Costume


Do you dress up as idiotic perverts because you're trying to make fun of their stupidiness? Or do you dress up as idiotic perverts because you yourself are an idiotic pervert?
My guess would be the latter.

4. The Lady Gaga Costume



I love Lady Gaga as much as the next person. Okay, maybe not, but that's beside the point. The point is, why are people dressing up like a hermaphrodite singing sensation? I'm still confused about this one.

5. The "I'm dressing up as a maid, but really just want to show off how big of a slut I am" Costume


Sluts are everywhere. I know that. But, why do they have to always show off that fact? I mean, we already know you're a whore, we really don't need to be reminded...


*Bonus Costume*



Isn't he adorable?!?!

Wacko of the Week: Candyman!

So, I wanted to spotlight a different horror film wacko every week. So, instead of starting off with someone as well known as say, Michael Myers, I wanted to start off with someone that I feel is slightly underappreciated. Of course, I'm talking about the ever-disturbed Candyman!



Real Name: Daniel Robitaille
Appearences: Candyman, Candyman 2: Farewell to the Flesh, Candyman 3: Day of the Dead
Portrayed By: Tony Todd

Poor Daniel. All he wanted was to be able to love his darling Caroline. But, of course, that was far too taboo for the people of New Orleans. So, when Caroline got pregnant, they decided it was time for Daniel to go.
They tortured poor Daniel, cutting off his right hand with a rusty saw. They then covered him with honey, making bees swarm all over his body, mortally wounding him. They taunt him with Caroline's mirror, showing him how he looks. He dies, and his soul, hateful and full of vengeance, is trapped in the mirror.
Fast forward a couple decades. Candyman is back, being summoned by a brave soul who called him forth from a mirror. He goes on a rampage in Cabrini-Green, causing havoc and mayhem.
He comes back in a few sequels as well, causing just as much carnage as usual.

Moral of the story: Let people be in love.
Trademark weapon: Hook (that is in place of his right hand)

The Stand: Book Review

I figured that I would begin to write book reviews as well as movie reviews for this blog. So, to start my series of reviews, I figured I would start with the epic novel, The Stand.

Author: Stephen King
Plot: The Stand is a revolutionary take on the apocalypse. Beginning with Charles Campion, a soldier who goes AWOL one night after an accident occurs at the military research base that he worked at. Seems that a new form of the flu virus, a certain Captain Trips virus, was being developed at the base. Sadly, Campion didn't escape his post fast enough, and managed to infect both his wife and young daughter with Captain Trips. Campion, somehow still alive but delirious, crashes into a gas station in rural Texas. There, he infects all but one of the people at the station. Long story short, the virus spreads all over the world. It also happens to have a 99.4% rate of death, so most of the world's population is wiped out in a period of a few weeks.
The survivors, the few of them that there are, eventually band together and form two opposing groups. One, led by Mother Abigail Freemantle, takes refuge in Boulder, Colorado. The other builds a utopia in Las Vegas, Nevada, and is led by the demonic Randle Flagg.
Eventually, the two groups have to confront each other, since Flagg's group is bent on destroying the Boulder Free Zone. So, the conflict that ensues threatens to either destroy what is left of humanity...or save what's left.

Memorable Characters: Nick Andros, the lovable and intelligent deaf-mute, Stu Redman, the quiet but strong leader of the Free Zone Committee, Tom Cullen, the lovable and special mildly-retarded sweetheart, Trashcan Man, the mentally unstable pyromaniac, and Kojak, the adorable and loyal dog.

Reflections: While not being King's usual scary story, it delves into the fears of modern Americans. By having the Army basically deny everything, and yet manage to take over everything, it shows that when a travesty like the apocalypse happens, you never know who you can trust. Also, by having the Captain Trips virus be derived from the common flu, it shows that really, anything can happen.

Session 9- An Actual Scary Movie

"I live in the weak and wounded, doc."

So, I saw Session 9. I had been wanting to see this movie for a while, after hearing about it on several blogs. I am honestly really glad I decided to watch this instead of my second choice, Friday the 13th (remake). Session 9 is scary. Like...actually scary.
For those that dont know, Session 9 is about a small asbestos removal company that is given the task of removing asbestos from the abandoned Danvers State Hospital. While there, one of the crew members discovers a collection of taped sessions with Mary Hobbes, a former patient. Mary had several different personalities, all differing in personality, gender, etc. The most hostile of these personalities is Simon, an entity that is feared by the other personalities.
Eventually, crew members "disappear" or get murdered by an unseen assailant. Throughout this, we are allowed to hear sections of the taped sessions. In the sessions, Mary, and two of her personalities, Princess and Billy, speak. Simon, however, does not, until the last session. Session 9.
When I watched this movie, I had already heard what the basic plot and such were. But, honestly, I still came out of it with my mind blown. It was the first movie in a while that actually managed to creep me out.
Well done.

So...I Finally Saw Grace

If you're reading this blog, you've most likely seen, or at least heard about the movie Grace. If not, go out and watch it before reading this.
Well, as most of you know, Grace is about a mother who goes to drastic lengths to take care of her newborn daughter, Grace. See, Grace is a bit...different from other newborns. While she looks and sounds like any other ankle-biter, she is special in a way no other baby can be. See, Grace isn't exactly.."alive", per say. She was "killed" while still in her mother's womb. It was only due to the mother's obsession and willpower that Grace was born.
The mother, Madeline, is also a wee bit different from most other mothers. For starters, she's a vegan. Like, obsessive vegan. Oh, and the fact that she and her midwife used to be lovers plays in as well. Imagine how hard it would be to be a vegan, then discover that your precious little baby needed blood to survive. And not just any blood. Human blood.
I won't explain any more, since it is really hard to explain. Besides, the majority of the horror community have already ranted and raved about this film for over a year now. But, go out and watch it. I'm sure that it will be something that you probably won't ever forget.
