Happy Christmas, a very unoriginal title but sincerely meant.
After only a few hours of work yesterday, I spent the rest of the day with my father and step family in Michigan. That always makes for an interesting time. While there, I came up with the reasons my father's home would be a perfect location for a successful horror film:
1. Setting
Deep country, so deep he resides on a dirt road with only a few other addresses on this road and very many trees. Dirt roads are pefect for this because they often have large holes in them for hiding nails to pop tires or just to ruin struts and springs. The victim now has to exit the vehicle and continue travels on foot. They may either be stalked at this point, or first find the only home with lights to ask for the use of a telephone.
2. Nice family, scary in-law.
Her name is Stella, and only if the name were frightening enough on its own. She's perfectly round, rarely bathed, with a very hirsute face. She has a deep, back home country voice that makes you regret karma and those you used to taunt in your childhood. She lives in a small room with many, many cats.
3. The yard
Deserted vehicles, most which appear to have been in a wreck. Makes you wonder what has happened to the owners.... hehehehehe. Reminds me of West Virginia, which is a frightening place to think of.
4. Hauntings
The outdoor animals, and there are many, may be possessed. The sweet-looking dog often sits on top of his house (yes, like Snoopy) and howls. The geese literally come to the front door and knock when it is time to be fed. The front door is surrounded by windows which they crowd around to peer inward at you... into your soul.
I slept well last night, so there is an odd dream to update you all on. I will try and sum it:
A male friend impregnated by his dog, and he refuses to take off his bonnet. We went to see the Nutcracker together, all of the characters were played by dancing stalks of celery.
