"Scare It Forward!" Chapters 8 & 9


The time has come for another update for William Castle's 2011 "Scare It Forward!".  This week, we have Chapters Eight and Nine for you to enjoy!

The story so far:

Summer- a time for sunshine, bathing suits, swimming in the river... and death.  Grant and four of his friends are enjoying the summer sun by spending the night along the banks of a river.  After Grant sees what he thinks is a dead body, evil begins to stalk the teens one by one... 
Years ago, a simple Mexican peasant girl caught the eye of the Don's son.  He wanted her, and have he would.  But all was not what she expected.  Soon the rumors brought to her by the servants, and his growing attention towards their twin sons would pull the family apart... and her actions would haunt the landscape for years to come...

And one of those years is now.  Aaron- one of the teens camping by the side of the river is found the next morning... barely concious, and terrified.  Torn between taking their friend to the hospital, and staying to give him a chance to rest and recover, the teens try to deal with Aaron's pleas for them to leave before, "she" kills them all.  That night, the mysterious female apparition visits Aaron... with Death keeping her company...
Death most foul comes at the hands of a friend, ripping dreams and innocence away like a corpse's shroud as the teens are caught in the grip of a rage and an anger from the past.  Friend turns on friend as the past corrupts the present... changing the daydreams of the future into the nightmare of the past...
 There is no rest for the dead as Aaron falls under the spell of La Llorona- the ghost of a mexican peasant girl tortured and murdered for the death of her sons.  Memories float through her mind of how she survived her attempt at keeping them with her... and the days of pain and mutilation that followed at the hands of her husband.  Twisted through the years, La Llorona seeks to enlist Aaron and his friends to help her find her lost boys... even if it means their lives...
  La Llorona army of servants grows as the still night of death continues.  Another of the remaining teens becomes the target of the spirit's twisted and disturbed needs and sense of justice.  Love is betrayed, friendship usurped, and the soft whispers of hate float through the air... whispering in the ear of a sleeping form... kill... kill... or die...
 Chapter Eight was written by Gail Petersen, and Chapter Nine was written by Jesse Orrall.  Gail's entry was actually posted LAST Monday, but wasn't included in my update because I'd posted my update just before the story had been updated.

As always, I'm really looking forward to seeing where this story goes, and how it ends since there's only about four more chapters in this particular story before the second one begins.  You can check out the whole story on William Castle's blog!

Grave Questions: Jessica Cameron

February is " Women in Horror Month "- a month in which to celebrate the impact that women have had on the genre and the industry- from writing, to acting, to directing and producing. Jessica Cameron has experienced the industry in all those capacity- making her a perfect choice for me to ask some " Grave Questions " of in order to raise awareness of the great women in Horror. Please not that this article SHOULD'VE been posted in February, but due to technical difficulties, we're putting it up now.  Thank you. TCoT :   Which female horror stars helped to inspire you to not only enjoy the genre- but to get involved in bringing scary movies to the world? Jessica :  I literally said to my " Truth or Dare " producer, "If the Soska sisters can make " Dead Hooker in a Trunk " with nothing, then I can make " Truth or Dare ".  So needless to say that those girls have been a huge inspiration in everything I do behind the

Meridian: Kiss of the Beast (1990)

Sometimes, a director/producer will surprise you- such was the case during " Terrorpolooza 2012 " when I watched Charles Band's " Meridian: Kiss of the Beast " Catherine Bomarzini has come home after her father's death.  Needing company, she asks Gina to stay with her.  Soon, the two meet a wondering troupe of performers that Catherine invites to dinner at her castle. Catherine find herself pulled into a love triangle and an ancient curse that only she can break. After watching movies like " Evil Bong ", and " Demonic Toys ", I really wasn't expecting too much from this Charles Band movie- but I was pleasantly surprised by it. The story is actually quite interesting with lots of potential for eerie scenes, and character development.  It's a nice twist on the classic " Beauty and the Beast " story.  It's a bit slower than most of Band's other works, but moves smoothly and draws you with it. I have to ad

The Phantom of the Opera

  Not too long ago, I reviewed the silent horror classic, "Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror", and wound up being in the mood to view a few other of the silent horror films in my collection.  The next one I watched was "The Phantom of the Opera", starring Lon Chaney, Sr, and released in 1925.   A mysterious stranger has been threatening the star singer of the Paris Opera House- someone who has signs his letters simply as, "The Phantom".  This stranger wants to clear the way so his protege, Christine Daae can ascend to stardom herself.  Soon, her love for the Comte de Chagny collides with The Phantom's desire for Christine forcing both to take drastic actions in order to be with the one they love. " The Phantom of the Opera " actually underwent three periods of re-shoots and editing, due to poor reception and test viewings.  In 1930, a sound version was created- often assumed to be what is called "The Eastman House Print".  It is
