You weren’t thinking that way when you let me plan this whole thing! You just can’t have it any other way than your own can you?

With pleasure! You are the most self-absorbed asshole I’ve ever met in my life. You’re all about letting things play out as long as you can talk your shit from behind the scenes. It doesn’t fool anyone. You’re no puppet master. It’s the same reason you have to work with people that never have to converse with you in person. No one can tolerate your bullshit for more than a few hours at a time. Shit, I’ve been giving you indica for months hoping it’d

    I both disagree and dislike the articles “How Hollywood Killed Death” by Alexander Huls and “You Can Do Anything: Must Every Kids' Movie Reinforce the Cult of Self-Esteem?” by Luke Epplin. I believe fake deaths can be an effective story telling technique, and often fit the plot. Additionally, I disagree with Epplin’s complaints about the “magic feather syndrome” so commonly found in children’s movies. He comes across as if he would prefer a world where all children’s movies encourage kids to simply face the harsh realities of life and do nothing to improve their standing. I believe both articles come across as condescending and overly criticize the movie industry.…

    Although the Hollywood view point of voodoo is bad it is making people a lot of people rich. Many people open shops claiming that they are selling authentic voodoo dolls and other useless fake things. They went with the Hollywood belief of voodoo and are now making money from those who do not know the truth of its origins. Although it is interesting, it is wrong and should not be done. We need to stop slandering and fearing the unknown if we do not know the truth.…

    From their dead eyes to their rotting bodies, the image of the zombie has become an icon in today’s society. Surpassing other horror characters, zombies over the years have become prevalent across a multitude of medias and genres. Although these brain-eating creatures are a work of fiction, author Chuck Klosterman argues that the life of the zombie apocalypse does not stray as far away from today’s society as some would think. Through his essay, My Zombie, Myself, Klosterman discusses the prevalence of zombies in media today through rhetorical devices such as allusions, anecdotes, and figurative language in order to convey that the human way of life is becoming more akin to that of a zombie’s. Klosterman begins his essay utilizing multiple…

    The creation of monsters like vampires and zombies presents itself as an allegory the “day to day existence.” Articles like “Why Vampires Never Die” by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan and “My Zombie, Myself: Why Modern Life Feels Rather Undead “ by Chuck Klosterman emphasizes the correlation between folktale and reality. The difference between Folktale and reality is that folktale and reality is that folktale are variations of stories from many cultures, while reality is something that exist and can be proven. This creates room for the idea of death to be a significant aspect to the rise of monstrous beings, as listed prior. The idea of what happens after life, known as death varies amongst cultures and…

    In “Why We Crave Horror Movies,” an article by Stephen King, he explains his view on why we enjoy horror films. He chooses to say we go to fill a somewhat morbid taste for watching someone suffer, as well as using it as a method of triumph, showing others we simply can bare it. King says that if we aren’t feeling quite ourselves or are just feeling off all we really need is a good horror movie to set us right again. He claims that we all have a part in us that craves the gory, horror in films for a couple reasons. First, we watch for the pure enjoyment, entertainment, and excitement that they bring.…

    Movies have been a favorite pass time of mine, but my favorite movie genre of all time is horror. Horror movies are filled with plenty of sub-genres such as psychological to paranormal. Personally, my favorite is always going to be the slashes sub-genre, which is just a killer murdering several people. The movie that started this obsession with slasher films is the movie Scream. You've probably seen references from this movie most notably the ghost face masks everyone wears during Halloween, the ghost face mask looks like a long white mask with oval eyes and a long downwards mouth.…

    One limitation that I found in this is article is when Bishop claims cultural consciousness is a contributor to our perception of realism in zombie films. I believe that the post 9/11 cultural consciousness is not the only reason as to why we observe these movies in the way that we do. Although the post 9/11 cultural consciousness is what lead to the preliminary rise of zombie films and made it applicable to the real world, other elements like, directors exploiting the zombie movie protocol to their advantage contributed just as much to our insight of the film’s realism. Directors have used the standard zombie cinema protocol to their advantage in creating life-like scenes, using authentic locations that have been plagued by tragic events for…

    There are several legends or just stories regarding monsters that we have known since we were children and they have frightened us since we were young into our early teenage years. But if we really think about it, what might these monsters represent or why do we even have monsters. Authors attempted to look into the world of monsters more and attempt to identify more of what the monsters could symbolize or what they can represent regarding us, humankind. In other words, the authors explain their perspectives on how do monsters and their existence affect us, how do they represent what we are here for and more. Using the articles “My Zombie, Myself: Why Modern Life Feels Rather Undead,” “Cursed by a Bite,” and “Monsters and Messiahs” I will help…

    Could you ever imagine waking up one day and everything was different? Not being able to be sprawled out in your perfectly good bed each morning, but waking up in various locations for protection. Having to carry some sort of weapon every time you go outside just in case you run into a pack of zombies looking for fresh flesh. This all seemed too much and it was only my first year at Missouri State. A zombie apocalypse was not something I expected from college, especially to be one of the few survivors’ left on campus.…
