A couple weeks ago I was reading a post on Freddy in Space where he interviewed the star of Deadgirl. While it did increase my interest in a movie I already wanted to see it also got me interested in another thing. During the interview they talk about filming on a haunted set and the actress mentions two other places that she's been that spooked her. Those two places happen to be within an hour and a half radius from me. Which apparently awoke my inner ghost hunter cause ever since I've been looking into other supposed haunted places. Turns out there are several in the town I live in, which is a pretty small place so it was somewhat surprising. I'm also wondering how true these sightings are since I grew up here and went to the only high school in the area without ever hearing about them. It makes me very curious. I'm not a skeptic by any means cause I do believe that ghosts exist or at least I'm pretty sure I do. My grandmother used to hold seances across the street from where I lived growing up and swears up and down that she used to see ghosts there all the time. During all the time I spent there as a kid I never noticed anything creepy or odd so it might have just been the Manhattans talking in her case.
I have come across other things that just creeped me out and I couldn't logically explain them. Many many years ago we were at the home of a friend of the family. I can't remember the reason why now but I went into one of the bedrooms to get my coat, since it was an old house it didn't have any overhead lights only lamps near the bed so you had to cross the room to get to them. Upon entering the dark room I get halfway across when I notice the digital clock is changing from hour to hour (like they do when you're setting them) and there is no one in the room but me. I hightail it out of there and try to think logically, assuming someones trying to scare me so I need to not be a chicken and go back in. I try once again and fail miserably. The clock is still changing and I'm totally freaked out. Now there wasn't an evil presence or anything that I felt but it just didn't feel right. My dad ends up going in to get it cause that's what dads do, they come in and save the day. The night ends without anything else happening and I end up finding out sometime later that the people who lived there had seen a farmer walking down the hallway towards them on the couch several times. Creepy.
I have to be totally honest and admit that I'm still a chicken shit. I've always been one and I doubt that will ever change. Hell I remember hiding behind the couch when the Thriller video would come on. Yeah, embarrassing but I've come to accept that part of me so wanting to go explore these supposedly haunted places has got me torn. If I go will I just imagine things being there like when the water heater in the closet becomes Pinhead coming for me? Part of me still wants to go while the other part thinks I'm insane. Somehow I don't think that what I've seen the Winchesters do on Supernatural will have any basis on anything in real life but lore and myths have to be based on something right? Basically I need to make up my mind. Are ghosts real or are they only bits of peoples imaginations? Will salt and iron save my ass since I don't know any Latin? Or do I just watch too much Supernatural?

Repo! The Genetic Opera
Mass organ failures worldwide. GeneCo comes out of darkness to save the world with financing. Love the comic styled into. Organ repos are legalized. Holy crap this guy (Graverobber - Terrance Zdunich) is delicious!! Love the goth gypsy whatever the hell it is look he has going on. I really like the look of this movie. For some reason I keep thinking steampunk even though it's really not. I wouldn't consider if goth either. Maybe salvation army goth. Ew bugs. Why does every movie have to have creepy bugs now? Now I'm going to be feeling itchy all night. Damn Carmen Cortez (Alexa Vega) has a set of pipes on her. Not even talking about how she's grown up. Get your minds out of the gutter. Giles (Anthony Head) is her daddy!! Shilo aka Carmen Cortez has a genetic blood disease that her father is tryin to cure so she doesn't die like her mom.
So far the music has been really catchy, at least I think it is. I bet I will be singing it in my head when I'm trying to sleep later tonight.
Shilo 17 yrs old. Mother got sick while pregnant. Nathans cure ended up killing her, he saved Shilo vis C-section. I'm going to assume that the poor girl has always been bald since she even had bad wigs in the flashbacks. Daddy is ultra possessive since "she is all I have." Turns out Daddy is the Largo family's main repo man. This family is seriously fucked up. Talking about screwing any holes available or making one or having sex with their sister. Sarah Brightman as Blind Meg is outstanding. Turns out that before Shilos mother met Nathan she was involved with Rotti Largo. After she left him for Nathan, Papa Largo (Paul Sorvino) played a large part in the illness that killed her. Largo claims to have the cure for Shilo.
Ooohhhh! Fearnet has the Freddy commercial in the middle of the movie. I'm really excited to see Jackie Earl Haley in this role. And I do love Katie Cassidy, even if it's only from her days the the original Ruby on Supernatural.
Pavi has a new face hooked over the bolts coming out of his skull. Luigi is sporting some pretty grisly stitches zigzagged across his stomach. Blind Megs eyes are hypnotic. She was Shilo's mothers best friend. She had her eyes operated on so she could see but was bound to the Largos in a blood contract.
Daddy is out working (repossessing although Shilo doesn't know this, she thinks hes a normal doctor) and they have an nice little duet vie phone while Dad is repossessing some poor schmucks spine.
Amber Sweet no shows during her fathers interview. Is she hooked on surgery or street drugs? I wonder if any of that is a friendly jab at Paris Hilton. Singing Hookers!! Zytrate (drugs). Paris does a surprisingly good job with her writhing and breathy singing. A vast improvement from House of Wax.
Using Nathans guilt over his wife's death Largo forces him to repossess Blind Megs eyes. After a repossession (not Megs) Nathan quits leaving Largo to threaten taking him out. Meg goes to visit Shilo.During her visit Meg's eye show videos of Shilos mom. Very creepy. Uh oh Dad's home. Shilo busts out in some song about 17 all I can think of is how is she keeping her boobs inside that shirt? Oh awesome Joan Jett!!
Amber's final look is amazing. It would be an incredible costume that probably like 5 people would understand.
Italian singing ends in some nice self-inflicted bloodshed.
Oops. Shilo made a boo boo.Expected father/daughter fallout ensues. All is revealed in song!
I bet this would even more entertaining done Rocky Horror style with the audience participation.

Finally catching up with Jason.
I am so very extremely behind on movies, mostly due to lack of funding but I missed the latest Friday the 13th simply because I like Dean more than Sam. If you're a Supernatural fan (which you should be) you'll know what I'm talking about, if not let me clue you in. Last year Friday the 13th featuring Jared Padalecki aka Sam Winchester opened around the same time as My Bloody Valentine featuring Jensen Ackles aka Dean Winchester. As a fan of the original M.B.V. and Mr. Ackles it won my money. That was in 3D didn't hurt either. Anywho, Friday the 13th is showing tonight on HBO so I'm finally able to catch up.
A bit sad that nerdy guy died so soon. Booo! Kill the whore with the greasy boobs first.
I'm really really curious if Jared who's 6'4" is going to be taller than Jason. No Jared yet so we'll have to wait and see.
Yes greasy slut girl go outside half naked so you can die!! Oh nice set up!!!! A bit Sawesque. Looks like this Jason has some schooling.
Jason attacking through the floor is a nice touch.
Ok wait a minute, I thought greasy slut girl had come loose from the rope? Why is she hanging up again? Or did the bag just come off?
Argh why does every guy on here have poufy hair!! Well except for the token black guy.
SAMMY!!!!!!!!!! looks like a giant compared to poufy jerk.
Jerks girl looks about 14.
Sam's name is Clay but that name sucks so I'm going to keep calling him Sam. He just got pulled over by the Sentinel! (Old TV show they still occasionally show on SyFy.)
Wow totally saw the dog jump scare a mile away.
Poufy douchebag kids are drinking, 14 yr old girl is the definitely the last girl of the group.
"Start button on a whoop ass machine." F*cking Awesome!! He (redneck guy) reminds me of Ash.
Sam did the bitchface!!
What an amazing coincidence!! Sam just happened upon douchebag kids cabin. 14 yr old girl comes up to his nipples.
Oh yeah Trent, definitely a douche name. OMG this movie has horrible names for their characters. So far we have Whitney, Clay, Trent, Jenna. Maybe I'm just being crabby cause I have a toothache.I realize that Sam is terribly attractive but smart girls don't take off with strangers.
Wow Friday the 13th meets Mannequin. Redneck caressing the mannequin is way creepier than maskless Jason. I'm sorry sir but that is not right. Jason's normal compared to you.
I must hang out with some lame people cause my female friends never get topless anywhere near as much as these people do.
Douchebag jerk finally made a smart choice, drinking from a show is nasty.
Ouch topless girls head wound is very impressive. Makes my stomach a little queasy. I would worry about it getting infected from the lake water if I wasn't so sure she was going to die.
WTH! said head wound is magically gone when she's hiding under the docks!!
I'm liking this smarter Jason. Just because he's not the most attractive person doesn't mean that he's stupid.
But following him is stupid Sam.
Why is Sam's sister still alive? I mean I understand plot points and all that but I'm curious as to why she's so special to Jason that he's kept her as a pet.
Apparently it has something to do with whatever is around her neck. I can't quite making it out but I think it's a picture of her Mom.
Aw poor Asian guy. That's why flaming drinks are not a good idea!!
Please let some get killed with the bug zapper. Please please please.
Oh God No!! Thank you for the save Sam!! I do not want to watch some guy masturbate.
So very classy filming yourself. I was hoping this movie received an R rating for gore but I think it's just cause of all the boobs. Bleh.
LOL Love Asian guy (his name is Chewie?) offering Jason the hockey stick, goes with his outfit. Hehe I love a little humor in my horror.
There's the gore I wanted. Very gross.
No Don't go out alone!! I think other than the near masturbation Token Black Guy is my favorite of the douche bag crew. You gotta love a guy that arms himself with a wok.
Run run!!
Ouch. Smart Jason is pretty f*cking awesome. This is the Jason I want to see vs. Freddy.
How the hell did he get on the roof? Can he fly now? o.O
Was hoping for a little more from Slutty Video Girl's death but I guess they can't all be amazing.
Now that was an impressive death!!! Sorry Sentinel cop but that was cool.
Douche Jerk's gun sounds kinda wimpy. Like a BB gun or something. He screams like a girl too. Love it!!
"Where the f*ck are you gun?!" Unless this is a Disney movie I don't think it's going to answer you.
Another somewhat lame death. I still want someone to get killed with the bug zapper.
Sam and the 14 yr old in Jasons lair (for lack of a better world) reminds me of the Shapeshifters lair in Supernatural. If Dean was here he'd save everyone's ass.
Holy crap never saw that coming!!!
Dammit stand up next to each other so I can compare your heights!!!!
Oh come on honey, you can hide better than that. I'm disappointed in you.
Was just starting to wonder when the scene with Sam getting attacked thtough the window was going to happen. Thank you!
Sam's sister has Jason's locket? Huh?
Damn that had to hurt! Sam's poor jaw.
"Say Hi to Mommy in Hell." .............lame.
Very pretty shot of the mask underwater.
Oooohh very nice!!
Over all I liked this movie, I do wish they had lost some of the nakedness in favor of more gore but I guess you have to please the masses and female horror fans are certainly not that. The kills were very realistic which I liked, I think that after seeing so many movies with elaborate kill scenes that I've started to expect that from all movies. I don't think that's necessarily a good thing but that's just the way I feel.
Still mad I never got to see Sam and Jason side by side. IMDB says that Derek Mears is 6'5" so Jason wins.

Really? I mean really?!?
I do not consider myself a movie snob. I don't consider it necessary for all movies to have perfect effects and earth-shaking scripts. I have an undying fondness for cheesy movies and have spent many a happy weekend watching the movie marathons on SyFy. I can deal with the sometimes horrible CGI, I know it's expensive but this is just not ok.
This is the Yeti from the movie of the same name. I would much rather you didn't show him at all then use some guy in a horrible suit. I think we used to sell those teeth for $4.99 at the Halloween store I used to work at. The eye holes aren't even glued down!! I don't really understand this because the make-up effects on the injured people don't look bad at all. Trying to watch this movie but I just keep getting distracted waiting for the guy in white mange suit to show up again. Wait, wanna-be-football-star hurt himself climbing so he is using a human arm as a splint?! Seriously!! Maybe beer would make this movie good. A lot of beer.
Football star and chick go rabbit hunting. Chick throws her spear and gets the rabbit which has now magically turned into either a pile of dryer lint or a stuff animal. Apparently they have caught a mutant rabbit since once it is cooked it somehow now possesses chicken legs. Does that make it chibbit? or a racken? Close ups of people eating what is clearly not rabbit aren't such a great idea. I can't believe there's still an hour left of this!
