FRIGHT
NIGHT BABBLE
Hey
there, Grinning Gremlins!
These
campy horror flick tropes make me wanna throw popcorn at the screen!
Why
whenever teens go camping or venture into the spooky forest, the
writers usually have the same boring stereotypes? Like the
big-breasted chick, the jerkwad athlete, the wisecracking black
person, the geeky dude, the nice virgin, and the hot male lead.
Wanna
predict who survives this lame fest? The “Final Girl” or virgin,
and sometimes her boyfriend, but not likely. Although, it could turn
out like Cabin in the Woods.
Just
once, I wish a Black, Latino, or Asian character would be the lone
survivor. Or any race filmmakers include to have the characters more
ethnically diverse.
This
next cliché deserves a double eye roll. Why do the characters say,
“Let’s split up, gang!” And why do these allegedly smart people
always think it’s such a brilliant idea?
Everybody
knows the bad guys are lurking nearby, but still someone’s gotta
stupidly exclaim, “We’re gonna explore that pitch-dark area over
there, while you guys check that less dark and scary place, and then
we’ll meet up later.”
Just
rewatch episodes of Buffy, the Vampire Slayer and count how
times the group loses each other, or Scooby-Doo, where Shaggy
and Scooby are split up in every episode. Blech!
Peace,
love, and horror flicks,
Sloane

Hey
there, Grinning Gremlins!
This
cliché is just a craptastic schlock-fest…
Why
are the humans always considered the good guys, and aliens are the
evil baddies that crash-landed on Earth to wreak havoc?
There
are some good stories with the opposite scenarios, like Superman,
District 9, Avatar, and Transformers, where the humans are
the major jerkwads.
Then
there are those evil extraterrestrials that are always trying to
attack our planet because of some valuable resource that no other
rotating rock in space seems to have. Or for some reason humans are
just special snowflakes.
And
what about the tropes that alien races aren’t ugly space invaders?
That most aliens resemble humans because of a comparable evolution.
Eh, whateves.
I
guess I could believe a few Martian-like anthropologists might be
stationed on Earth to study humans.
And
those rumors about aliens having secret hybrid offspring secretly
living among us?
Nah.
Too cliché.
Peace,
love, and horror flicks,
Sloane

Two of the Starlight Saga
For
Sloane Masterson, being in love with Hayden Lancaster has been a
series of highs and lows. Plus, some rather sucky consequences…like
those annoying interstellar dating laws. But Sloane’s not gonna let
a few lame rules get in her way. She’s on a mission to win back her
man.
The
big problem with that?
Hayden’s
beyond stubborn. Overly protective. And majorly frustrating.
When
Sloane discovers a shocking family secret, it thrusts her back into
Hayden’s dangerous and mysterious world. Yet, she’s not the only
one hiding things that could destroy the fragile bond between them.
There’s something Hayden’s not telling her, too...
After
a harrowing escape from freaky mutants, dodging an attack from a
psycho stalker, and receiving a bunch of creeptastic messages,
Sloane’s bizarre existence becomes a real-life horror movie. Add
the unexpected arrival of Sector Thirteen, and Sloane doesn’t know
who to trust anymore.
If
she hopes to evade her enemies and protect those she loves, Sloane
must get over her epic trust issues before those evil baddies catch
up to her. And time is running out…
