Awesome Cosplay Of The Day: Female Freddy Krueger

PrettyWreck Cosplay may haunt your dreams with her version of Freddy Krueger. I don’t know if it’s the classic ripped sweater or the devilish metal claws, but she is definitely killing it. Hear what she has to say:

“Nightmare on Elm St has been my favorite horror movie since I was a kid and started watching them, it was always ironic because the elementary school I went to as a kid was on “Elm St” so it was always a little joke to my self that school was a nightmare haha.”

And Now…Prez Rickard

Four more years…until he can legally drink!

It’s President’s Day here in the United States, so for today, let’s look at one particularly odd fictional president.  He was incorruptible, idealistic, and way too young to be legally elected in the real world.  His name was Prez Rickard.

And yes, I am aware my math is wrong on the photo captioned above if Prez is an 18 year old president.  But no one would sit for a “three more years” joke anyway.

Anatomy Of A Horror Movie: What Really Scares Us

This image comes from a movie called “Zombeavers”. I am not making that up. If I know my horror movies, the dog and the woman who keeps her top on longest will be the survivors.

I’m not generally one for horror movies.  Horror novels I can generally deal with, but I was a rather nervous kid who was easily frightened by things that probably weren’t that scary to begin with as far as TV and the movies go, and as such I’ve never been much for scary movies.

That’s too bad.  Horror movies are about what scare us, and not just on the surface, but what is frightening to a society as a whole in a specific time and place.
