Love, Monsters and my First Impressions 


Don’t Judge a book by its cover. Not just a silly phrase, but truer words were never spoken. Pretty much something you work hard not to do all your life.



But with that you still have to admit first impressions matter. So when I first saw the trailer for Love in the Time of Monsters. I was not impressed. I thought to myself, great. Another stinker.



But I continued for two reasons one Kane Hodder was in it. (Jason Vorhees) to anyone who knows anything about that genre. And because stupid things can right their own posts pretty well. With out much thought on the part of the writer.





When the plot started to form I thought woohoo this movie wants to be silly. I was much more relaxed then. The plot summary is as follows; a couple runs a vacation resort in California based on Bigfoot. There are like 5 guys that dress up as Bigfoot and stalk the place. Love it!



The Bigfoot characters get exposed to an area of illegal dumping of toxic waste in a marsh on the property, and it makes them mindless flesh eaters. They attack all the visitors at the resort dressed in their Bigfoot costumes. 



If that isn’t an awesome plot, I don’t know what is. Eventually they figure out a way to stop them. They head out to take them out and who comes out to help? You guessed it. The real Bigfoot. He has had enough and he comes out to assist. And you’re yelling “go Bigfoot!”



This movie ended up being a pleasant surprise for me. I highly recommend it. I got my copy from the local library but I’m sure it’s widely available.



I’m glad I gave it a try. Didn’t give up from a lack luster trailer. It reinforced my goal of never judging a book by its cover. Don’t give up from one bad first impression. 



So people, let’s try to read past the first boring chapter in your book. Ignore the bad trailers and reviews and watch the movie. And lastly don’t give up on a person just because that first impression didn’t do it for you, because you never know what you may miss out on. And it might just be your best thing.

He Does Exist..The Semi-Autobiographical Tale of Dyatlov Pass

Image
On yet another glorious snowy morning in Massachusetts, the 3rd one in as many weeks, I sat out in the doorway just watching it all come down. I couldn't help but think-what if I was outside lost and stranded? What if the abominable snowman exists and is out hunting right now?  It made me think of a tale, a true tale, of an abominable snowman that was out prowling, that did hunt people. He currently resides in the icy slopes of Dyatlov Pass, in the Ural Mountains of Russia. I feel relatively safe telling his tale from this location. It would be a lot of work for him to get here. But just in case, I have a Louisville Slugger near my door. His tale is the most frightening one I've ever heard and has haunted me since I first heard of it many years ago. (Many? Did my editor put that word in)?It's a scary tale because it is real...and we have proof. On February 2nd, 1959. Nine unsuspecting college students entered the liar of a Yeti and didn't survive to tell this tal

A Moment with a Monster 

Image
An MC Monster,  that is. On this monster of a Monday  I had a chance to ask the artist himself a few questions about his amazing characters, how he creates them and how you all can get an original from him. And I’m sure after you see them, you will be a follower of his art. And spoiler alert, he may, may,  be coming to a city near you soon.. An interview with an artist: Q: Can you tell me a little bit about the characters you create? “The monsters I create aren’t evil entities, but more of like watchful protectors, leaders or guides through the spiritual realm.”  My favorite piece, I picture it as a moment between the big guy and myself.. Q: When did you begin creating them? “I started playing around with this style in June 2017, after my little sister passed away.” Q: What process do you use to create these wonderful characters? “The process is more often then not just winging it. I lay down a background, and then sort of just go for it. When I’m doing commission pieces I fo

Booger Funnels...

Image
This post is from a guest blogger, Sunday Monroe from Team Cryptid Mississippi. I have not changed any text from the piece beyond basic editing, which you all know I’m terrible at...Thank you to Sunday for sharing and emailing me this... Boogers are always in transition. They move about from place to place as needs dictate. They must, no moss grows on them for sure. It is what they have to do, it’s how they survive. This practice probably has more than a little to do with why they remain generally undocumented. You cannot define what you can’t pin down and examine. This is a trait that you can take advantage of if you want to go and see one for yourself, by thinking like a Booger thinks. If I was a Booger, why would I leave the relative comfort of my den? Because I’m hungry, of course. It takes a lot of food to support a single, large primate much less an entire family of them.  Few places offer food in sufficient amounts year round to support a family of Boogers. In most location
