Yeah, It's That Time of the Year Again...

Since it's that time of the year again. Of course getting dressed up for Halloween and going trick-or-treating is certainly one way to get into the festivities (or one could also just go see Rocky Horror at midnight. Maybe like at the Oriental in Milwaukee, just a thought). Then of course for the less motivate few, there is the AMC and their “AMC Fear Fest.” Sure AMC Fear Fest doesn't have the greatest marathons just replaying the Halloween series over and over again (except for something reason unbeknownst to be, is that they seem to skip the second film). Of course it would be nice, once in awhile, to see a Béla Lugosi, Lon Chaney, Jr. or Boris Karloff films. Now Béla Lugosi and Lon Chaney, Jr. films are the correct portrayal of vampires and werewolves contrary to what Stephenie Meyers would like you to believe, tehe. Curious though, I wonder if Béla Lugosi really though of Boris Karloff like what was portrayed in Ed Wood. Or, any movie that Vincent Price stars in. Anyways when set in their normal setting each antagonists fares pretty well, but what if they were place and pitted against another in a “bread and circuses”?

She a bookworm for any Paul Sheldon novel (well maybe just the ones that involve the character Misery) and the other one is “a smart big fish.” Given, that these two surprisingly had a confrontation with one another, but if Annie Wilkes and Jaws had met. Who would come out on top? Well from the best of my knowledge Jaws spends most of its' time in the water; if not all. And sure, Jaws can go under with three barrels (ooo; very impressive), and muches beach goers and swimmers. Annie Wilkes has the training of a nurse and certainly does have her way of pwning Paul Sheldon. Whether that be in the book (cutting his foot off and slicing his thumb) or the movie (making his ankle bend in ways that ankles just shouldn't bend). Oh; and Wilkes can take a typewriter to the head. Not entirely positive, but I'm almost pretty sure sharks don't have ankles, feet, or thumbs, so no help there for Wilkes. Good news, sharks don't own or use typewriters. Hmm... It's a gamble but I'm still going with the Kathy Bates portrayed character to take down the “oversized sardine.”

Next up the loveable rabies-infected family dog and the mask wearing, and the Canadian comedian name sharing (sounds the same, but spelled different), kitchen knife enthusiast. Yep, that's right; Michael Myers and Cujo are in a hostile augment that can be only solved with some old-fashion “fisticuffs.” Now to put it bluntly, Michael Myers is a trekkie. So as a devoted trekkie wearing his favorite Captain Kirk mask while doing what he does best on Halloween. And has the ability to created a horcrux (of course this is a stretch). I only came to this conclusion, with the fourth installment of Halloween as my evidence, where he had placed a piece of his soul into his niece, Jamie Lloyd. On the other hand Cujo is a lot less complex than Myers. Cujo's story is pretty straight forward; a dog with rabies. Unlike Myers, Cujo's motive is very much less family related and attack just about whoever. And I'd like to add, that Cujo is a trooper, being that he can be bashed in the head many times over and over again, and still walk away “unscathed” on all fours. One could say that's same for Myers, but I've learned that if one could pin him; say between a fallen tree and a burning van, that could possibly end him. Myers was pinned pretty good and ain't go nowhere. And considering that Cujo isn't a family member of Myers. I think it's pretty safe to say I'd put my money on the sick puppy.

And finally a sweet little angel, who happens to be demonic possessed with a mouth like a sailor named Regan MacNeil and Leatherface were locked in a room together, which would come out first? Given that Regan has the ability to have her head do a 360 and can make projectile -barf green. Sure it's not the same as being pistol-whipped with a hotdog, still it's pretty bad. Leatherface does like his chainsaw and wearing a mask (assuming that he made himself). Sadly, he can only make pig sounds, while Regan has a deep male voice (and at other times, can speak backwards and sometimes in perfect Italian). I will say this about Leatherface; he does have two thing over other antagonist, respecting his elders and being able to perform an interpretative dance (well at least I consider it to be an interpretative dance). Indeed; Leatherface does perform an interpretative dance with his chainsaw at the end of the film. Leather appears to be mortal; well Regan has Lucifer on her side. Got to go with the projectile-barfer with the sailor mouth (only assuming she isn't tied to the bed and still possessed).

I almost forgot, however this is going to be off topic. It's not a big deal; just think of it as Halloween III, tehe. Anyways re-discovered MGMT and how legit they are this weekend. The day following Halloween this year the Beach Boys' SMiLE is finally going to be officially released. So both are pretty good deals there.
