The Minstrel of Horror

Ghosts don't sleep & therefore find it very interesting when human go to bed. This is fine and it is good for them to be curious about the living. Unfortunately, if they let themselves be seen, humans find them incredibly intrusive & creepy, which ruins their attempts at sleep, & angers the ghosts!

Re-Watching Amityville: No Escape (2016)!

A true friend wouldn't want to use you in their experiment on fear. They would want your input to find likely people for the experiment, ways to scare them, & if they were a true friend they would listen to you when you try to talk them out of it!

It's #Tanka Tuesday!

Alicia--The Horror Tanka
House of the Dead (2003)

Close to all her friends,
Likes to party have good times,
Is quite a fencer,
More observant than others,
Fights to protect all her friends.

Re-Watching The Amityville Theater (2015)!

Everyone is quick to prove themselves by staying the night at a haunted place, but it isn't long before they are trapped inside. Why has no one thought to take a door off the hinges? Then drive the door about a hundred miles away and then agree to stay?

The zombie apocalypse will require people to be creative when it comes to making weapons to defeat the undead, but I have a problem with trusting cordless garden equipment. I find them useless after the first use, unless you're going for a 10 to 15-minute rampage, there'll be no charge for longer!

Re-Watching Amityville Death House (2015)!

For the most part, I cannot condone cursing an entire bloodline. You can't be sure that every single one of them deserves it! I suppose you're trying to raise the severity level for the person wronging you, but you shouldn't assume that they'll care!

It's #MonsterMondayGiant

Giant Mutant Mosquitoes
Mosquito (1994)

Swamp land mosquitos,
The fed on alien blood,
They Mutate and grow!

Re-Watching Amityville Asylum (2013)!

Either one person got super rich selling cursed land to hospitals, asylums, graveyards, mansions or anyone else willing to buy, or the bought it willingly knowing it was cursed because it was cheap! Either way, there seems to be a lot of cursed real estate!

Just Watched The Amityville Moon (2021)!

Two girls try to escape from a Rehab Center & one is killed by a vicious beast! The Police investigate & try to find the one that got away. The other girls at the center each fall victim to the creature as the Priest & Nun in charge make excuses!

Regardless of their motives, the fact that a group of medical students sneak off in the middle of the night to medically kill each other and bring each other back to life, means they were practicing & practice makes perfect & I'd want any one of them to be the one to attempt to resuscitate me!

Re-Watching The Amityville Haunting (2011)!

There are some pretty good bargains out there, and then there are some that you should not take advantage of. A house with a body count is one...& it's not just a high body count that is concerning, it's the fact that deaths happen repeatedly over time!

It's #Sonnetsunday + #Limerick too!

A serial killer has kidnapped a woman,
FBI must act fast so they can save this one,
Give a training recruit a real big shot,
Sees Imprisoned Doctor to get his thought,
Will his info be helpful when all's said and done?

Re-Watching The Amityville Horror (2005)!

I've lived in a fixer upper & I would say with buying an old house can be stressful & becoming a dad to three grown kids can add to that stress. But spending most every day 'angerly chopping firewood' is a sign something is off & worth paying attention to.

Regardless of what you are trying to accomplish, this is not proper way to use gardening shears! Someone needs to step in & show this amateur the safe and proper way to use them! Someone is libel to get hurt & by letting this blatant disregard for safety to continue...you could be held accountable!

Re-Watching Amityville Dollhouse (1996)!

I like the idea that playing with a dollhouse that looks exactly like your own house, could make the people behave like the dolls that are being played with...nobody would be prepared for the situations created from a child's mind! Not scary, but weird!

I hear they are bringing back the medicinal chin up bars in hospitals, except that instead of being used for physical therapy, they are your only chance of having the dignity of helping yourself up and leaving, before they have you dragged out after your insurance refuses your coverage!

Re-Watched Amityville: A New Generation (1993)!

If someone gives you a cursed item in exchange for you taking a picture of them, re-evaluate your career choice. Are you that bad at taking photos that they want you dead? Perhaps you should at least ask people if they want their picture taken first!

Re-Watching Amityville 1992: It's About Time (1992)!

I'm still waiting for an antique road show episode where someone brings in a cursed artifact & the host desperately tries to maintain their sanity as they talk about the person's treasure before turning angry & violent & the show ends in static!

Still think it is one of the ugliest lamps I've ever seen...

I'll say it was pretty good. It was made as another movie entirely, and they changed the name and added a 5-minute scene at the beginning to tie it to the house. Other than that, it was pretty decent. It was a bunch of short stories rather than one long tale.

ugh...Amityville Thanksgiving is also coming...as is Amityville Turkey Day.

It's pretty good too. Not exactly the same vibe as the originals, but entertaining with some decent demon gore!

There were two sequels and one remake I believe.

This is the remake.

Can't wait to see who buys a murder house in space!

Off to the hood we go...or has Amityville turn into the hood? Can't wait to find out!

This one is coming too...soooo many!

The most bizarre lamp you'll ever see? Yup!

Get out you must!

It is good. The actors made the film work. It holds up fairly well after all these years too.
