30 Days of Madness

Celebration of Wickedness Day 18: POLTERGEIST

There are a number of things no parent ever wants to hear about their children’s friends but I have to say, this is probably pretty high on the list: “It lies to her. It tells her things only a child would understand. It’s using her to restrain the others. To Read more…

Celebration of Wickedness Day 17: OVERLOOK HOTEL

I’m a writer. I have these fantasies of crafting masterpieces of haunting depth, full of magnetic characters and taut, driven plotlines, all by the light of a roaring fire in a lakeside cabin somewhere deep in the Pacific Northwest forest. I also have fantasies of a masked killer coming into Read more…

Celebration of Wickedness Day 16: KHAN NOONIEN SINGH

Ricardo Montalban was a sexy man. He was hand-crafted from fine Corinthian leather. He could put on a white suit, grab a little person and make all your fantasies come true. I once saw him, as Mr. Rourke, go toe to toe with the Devil. And win. So who else Read more…

Celebration of Wickedness Day 15: LEX LUTHOR

It’s Lex, baby! That’s right, our sample of sinister savagery is Superman’s nemesis premier, the chrome dome himself. Now, I’m admittedly not a DC comics fan; I’ve read two Superman comics in my lifetime—the one where they changed Supes’ costume and the one where Doomsday beat the bulletproof shit outta Read more…

Celebration of Wickedness Day 11: JAWS #atozchallenge

Beaches are supposed to be fun. Beaches are supposed to be Annette Funicello/Frankie Avalon-esque scenes of sandy fun and bikini-clad hormone-o-ramas. Old people, little kids, taut teenagers, sun, surf, smiles. That’s the beach. They are supposed to be fun. Not cauldrons of frothing blood, 25-foot-long leviathans and an endless body Read more…

Celebration of Wickedness Day 10: DR. CLAW #atozchallenge

I’ve seen a lot of cartoons in my day. They generally fall into two camps: the cat-and-mouse, coyote-and-roadrunner variety that tend to devolve into one large pseudo-murder fest that’s good fun for the whole family; and the Duck Tales-Rescue Rangers-Scooby Doo version that tend offer the extended remix plot. In Read more…

Celebration of Wickedness Day 9: AMITYVILLE HORROR HOUSE #atozchallenge

I have only witnessed a few things in this life that have actually caused me to change how I live. Jaws 2 really made me second guess the wisdom of going back in the water again but I live on the coast. I even watched another episode of the Kardashians Read more…

Celebration of Wickedness Day 8: PENNYWISE THE CLOWN #30daysofmadness

While the rest of the Christian world is celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ (Happy Easter, everybody!), we’re still celebrating the darker side of life. Today’s villain du jour is Pennywise, the child-killing clown from It. I don’t know a single soul that has read the book—it’s longer than the Read more…

Celebration of Wickedness Day 7: GODZILLA #atozchallenge

What do you get when you cross a slumbering dinosaur with exorbitant amounts of atomic radiation? You get to go shopping for a new city, buddy, ‘cause you just unleashed a 400-foot-tall, fire-breathing can of Whoop-Ass! That’s right, peeps, Godzilla, King of Monsters is coming to town in today’s post. Read more…

Celebration of Wickedness Day 6: FREDDY KRUEGER #atozchallenge

Welcome back friends and foes for another dose of villainy goodness. Remember this? “One, two, Freddy’s coming for you Three, four, Better shut the door Five, six, Grab your crucifix Seven, eight, Try to stay up late Nine, ten, Never sleep again” That’s right, today’s veritable villain is the raggedy Read more…
