Written by ScottyGetting what you want is not always as cracked up as it seems. If you are not able to get what you are looking for and turn to someone else to make your dreams come true, is it really you that should be rewarded? Fighting for something that will make your life feel complete is part of everyday life for everyone and most of the time if you don’t get what you want, there is a good reason for it. With the sense of entitlement that so many people believe they are due, it is amazing to think that anyone still thinks they need to earn the opportunity. Edward Foster is a young writer living in Los Angeles trying to get his first screen play off the ground. Trying to make a loving, wholesome movie, he finds that he is missing his muse. Running into a stunning woman while doing his laundry, Edward has found the woman of his dreams, the only problem is that he is not rich and successful enough to catch her eye. Finding out who she is from his landlord, Edward takes his shot at trying to win over the beauties heart, but is gunned down right from the get go. Looking for some sort of way to make an impression with the woman, Edward turns to his landlord that is keeping an eye on all of the apartments. Being invited in, Edward meets the recluse Mr. Stronham and the man has an offer that Edward cannot refuse. A drug that will make the hot young actress Miranda Singer fall deeply in love with him. Being offered this for no charge, Edward jumps at the opportunity and meets Miranda for a drink and gives her the potion, but has no idea what will really happen. Falling deeply in love with Edward, Miranda will do anything to keep him around and will never let him out of her sight. Quitting her acting career and refusing to leave the apartment, Miranda has given her all to her new found love, but it is too much for Edward to accept. Being tired out by all of the love making and not having a moment to be alone, Edward turns back to his landlord for more advice. Seeing all of the pictures of beautiful women on his wall, Edward finds out he is not the only man that has accepted this offer. There is no way to counteract the potion that Edward has given his dream woman, but there is a way out of the situation, but will Edward be strong enough to go through with it? A classic boy wants girl scenario that could not have been played out any better. The season three premiere of Tales from the Crypt does not disappoint with this episode at all. Staring Andrew McCarthy as Edward and Mariel Hemingway as Miranda, the casting department could not have done a better job finding the faces that could embrace the emotions that needed to be shown. I have always been a firm believer to be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it. Some things that might seem too good to be true, usually are and if you have not witnessed this in your life yet, you soon will. Until next time kiddies, Stay Scared.

Written by ShaeTHIS IS THE EMERGENCY SPOILER ALERT SYSTEM...YOU ARE ADVISED TO READ AT YOUR OWN RISK...Something is killing Catholics. Or, rather, something is making them kill themselves. It hunts them after confession and attaches itself to them. Shortly after, the person kills themselves. Or, in the case of one couple, she kills him with a sharp pair of shears. Sam and Dean roll into town and start questioning the priest. Dean takes to confession to talk about some things. It starts out snarky and quickly gets serious. Dean’s positive he’s going to die from the Mark. He’s afraid…rightfully so. Meanwhile, Sam does some snooping. Seems one of the nuns is more interested in another nun's story than actually helping out with the investigation. It turns out, that said nun with the sad back story is really a violent spirit here to exact revenge. She was young, and scorned by the artist she once loved dearly. Having been dragged to the convent against her will, she snuck out one night, intending to ruin the painting he had done of her. Instead, she killed him. The crime was so violent, she was accused of witchcraft and burned at the stake. She appeared in the church after her belongings and some paintings were sent from Italy. The ghost takes it a bit too far when she possesses the priest and kills him. Dean tells Sam to burn the ghosts journal, but he’s busy reading it. The enraged spirit possesses the nun and nearly kills Dean. Thankfully, Sam figured out what was tying her to this place. It wasn’t the journal, but the painting. The tip of her finger had been ground into the paint. Sam burns all the things, just to make sure, and saves Dean. Because that’s what brothers do. Brothers also worry about one another…and Sam is really worried about Dean, but Dean’s not willing to humor his brothers positive attitude over finding a cure for the Mark. Meanwhile, Rowena gets what she wants as Crowley has the Grand Priestess of the Coven brought in. Through some torture, brought on by Rowena’s own hands, the Witch reveals how far they’ve fallen and what happened to most of their power. Seems the Men of Letters took the majority of their potions and spells, using them for their own, and defeating the Witch population drastically. Armed with this knowledge, Rowena turns her into a hamster (I think?). She sets her sites on the Winchesters…the last two Men of Letters left…. Written by ShaeTHIS IS THE EMERGENCY SPOILER ALERT SYSTEM...YOU ARE ADVISED TO READ AT YOUR OWN RISK...Carry on my Wayward children, because this week is another exciting episode of the show I just cannot get enough of. Last week, Sam and Dean teamed up with our good friend Cole, and the three were off on an adventure of epic proportions. No, I’m just kidding, no one really wanted to team up, they did it because the Winchesters find themselves looking into a case that involves Cole’s best friend. When the little scamp refuses to leave the brothers alone, they have no choice but to pretend they don’t hate him. Turns out, I might still be bitter over his treatment of my Sammy. Seems that Kit, Cole's friend, is infected with some supernatural parasite. It turns out to be a gross worm like thing…we’ve actually seen something similar before, back in season six if you all remember. Unlike its cousin, however, electricity doesn’t do anything to kill the creature. Instead, it demands water. And when water isn’t enough, blood will have to do. Kit is currently going crazy trying to drink as much as he can. Cole gets infected, because you know, reasons. And Dean decides the two need to split up and figure this out. He stays with Cole, while Sam chases down Kit. Dean’s theory is that with enough will power, they can get this thing out of Cole. He just has to resist the urge to drink. If the host is to hostile, and not giving into the parasites wants, it’ll leave, right? Well, Dean is actually right, and by turning the cabin they are staying in into a sweat house, they are able to get the worm out of Cole and Dean is able to finally kill it. Sam, on the other hand, doesn’t get a chance to help Kit, as the man nearly kills him. I guess shooting a guy in front of his wife isn’t normally Sam’s thing, but it was to save her. That and Sam is giving up on hope, while Dean seems completely okay with things…a stark parallel to how things normally are…hopefully things get closer to a resolution this week. Written by ShaeTHIS IS THE EMERGENCY SPOILER ALERT SYSTEM...YOU ARE ADVISED TO READ AT YOUR OWN RISK...I promised you guys a few new series on the site, and well, here is one! I’ve been tossing this idea around for some time now and thought it would be a good time to start. iZombie is a show on the CW based off the comic with the same name. Now, I’ve not actually read the comic, so I’ve no knowledge of this world whatsoever. The show aired this last Tuesday evening, and I got the chance to watch it with Mattie. Liv is our protagonist with all kinds of wonderful things going for her. She is an aspiring heart surgeon with a hot fiancé, and its all rainbows and kittens for her. However, a co-worker invites her to a party where experimental drugs are being given out, and somehow it triggers a zombie virus…thing. Liv survives by falling off the boat, but she gets scratched, turning her into a zombie. Liv breaks it off with her fiancé, doesn’t tell anyone she’s a zombie, and starts working as a coroner’s assistant, all so she can eat brains. Yep, its that kind of a zombie show…which I actually like, since the zombie lore I grew up with had them eating brains. There is a side effect though. Liv gets flashbacks and memories from the brains she eats. This leads her to helping a detective solve the murder of a young call girl. Seems a dirty cop lost his wedding ring and killed the girl he thought took it. Ravi, the coroner tells Clive the detective that Liv is psychic as not to blow her cover. He figured out she was a zombie and has decided to help her figure out a cure. In the meantime, she gets all the brains she wants, and that keeps her from going completely stupid and monsterish. I have to admit, the show is a bit cheesy in some aspects, however, it has some redeeming qualities. I like that it shows Liv dealing with the depression of being changed; handling this transition pretty bad at first. But it also shows her coming around and finding hope. It’s cute and appealing in its own ways, especially for a younger audience. It’s not filled with gore and the death of beloved characters like some other zombie shows that rip your heart out. Instead, it’s a comedic spin on this horror monster. It’ll be interesting to see how the series progresses, but so far it’s not terrible. I rather enjoyed the show for what it was, and as long as you’re not a die hard zombie fan taking everything too seriously, it’s a fun way to spend an hour. Written by ShaeTHIS IS THE EMERGENCY SPOILER ALERT SYSTEM...YOU ARE ADVISED TO READ AT YOUR OWN RISK...There are rare occasions where Mattie is actually home on the night Supernatural is on. Last night, was one of those nights. Sadly she’s got that cold-of-death-thing going on, but I don’t think I could have watched this episode without her. So, Sam is mopey, and Dean is accepting of his fate. So, of course, that sets the tone for the rest of the episode. Sam is giving up hope, or coming to terms with the fact that his brother has. And Dean is all chill, because he at least knows what’s going to happen. Our newest adventure starts with a girl tied up, hanging upside down, and before long her throat is slit and she’s bleeding out into a bucket. Sadly, she dies, but what’s going on? Sam and Dean hit the town where the murder took place, and it’s already too late. The guy who killed the girl, and drank her blood and apparently marrow, also drank some gas and lit himself on fire. Couldn’t get weirder? Just kidding it can! Kit, is a military guy who has done a few special ops missions himself. He’s drinking water like it’s going out of style, and even some blood, because he’s just that thirsty. Kit is clearly not human anymore. But Kit is also Cole's best friend. Remember Cole? The jerk who beat up my Sammy trying to get to Dean? Yeah, he’s back. Joy. But it’s cool. He’s here to help…yay. Cole says he can get info on where Kit and the other dead guy had been. He even gets his hands on some footage of where they’d been stationed and what happened. Guess there’s a case of ‘worms’ going around, making the host thirsty and sucking them dry, or driving them insane. Cole ditches the Winchesters, or so he thinks, and goes to find Kit himself, only to have a worm jump from his besties mouth, into his. But, unlike the worms we’ve seen before, there’s multiple ones inside a host which makes infecting other people easy for the parasite. Cole gets one in him….Dean stays to figure out how to get it out while Sam goes after Kit… So, the last time we had crazy worms, they got into people and controlled their minds. Everyone figured out they hated electricity. So, naturally, that’s what Dean tries first. Only, this bug doesn’t seem to mind the shock. In fact, Cole nearly dies from the shocks. The next course of action is to try dehydrating it. Cole says he doesn’t mind that, and it goes just about as well as one would expect. Cole does well, and Dean drinks water in front of him, because Dean is a bastard like that. Eventually, though, it pays off, and the creepy worm gets out of Cole’s body and gets stomped on by Dean. Sam does not fare as well. Kit goes to his wife and ends up going crazy, trying to kill her. Sam shows up, and knocks the guy out. While he’s explaining the whole world of the Supernatural to her, Kit wakes up and tries to kill her again. Then he tries to kill my Sam! Eventually, Sam wins…and has no other choice but to put a bullet in Kit. Apparently there is no saving that one. And it’s a weird parallel. Normally, Dean is the one trying to kill things while Sam tries to save them...next week, we get to see Crowley again! Written by ShaeTHIS IS THE EMERGENCY SPOILER ALERT SYSTEM...YOU ARE ADVISED TO READ AT YOUR OWN RISK...Are you guys ready? Our beloved show has gone from Tuesday nights back to Wednesdays, and it looks like they’re all back to getting into trouble. When last we saw our boys, they were busy formulating a plan. Just kidding. Dean had long since made peace with the fact he would never be rid of the mark, and it seemed Sam was not all right with that. Still, the older Winchester pushed on, and within no time at all they were on the case. Castiel, on the other hand, was busy hunting down Cain. Little did any of them know that both the case and Cain were entangled in a way that would bring them all together. Cain was busy hunting down his bloodline, well, 10% of his bloodline, and killing them. He reasoned that his line was tainted with bloodlust, and mostly, he was a bit right. So, there was that. At least he was cool enough to bury the people all in the same area. His next target, however, was a kid, and nobody was letting that happen. Except maybe Crowley, but he was busy doing Demon things. Well, mostly being manipulated by his Mother. Thankfully he’s seen through some of it. When Dean called saying they needed the First Blade, Crowley was all too happy to help. Well, sort of. He was willing to allow Dean to use the Blade for a short time, but demanded it be given back to him. The plan was simple, get Cain to come to them, and Dean kills him. Why? Because he is kind of crazy. And Cain made Dean promise he would some day. It all went according to plan, but Cain had a few parting words. He told Dean who he would end up killing in order, due to the Mark, and knew the Mark itself would inevitably drive the older Winchester to the same path it drove Cain. There is no cure, no escape, and isn’t that awful… Cain met his end and all seemed right with the world. Dean gave the First Blade to Castiel, instead of Crowley, and if that wasn’t a kick in the feels, I don’t know what is… What’s in store for tonight??? We’ll have to see. |
