Haley's Krueger.


 Like many, I found the 2010 reboot of A Nightmare On Elm Street disappointing. From cheap jump scares, bag CGI, shameful copying of the iconic scenes from the original, and not giving much to justify its existence except as a hollow cash grab. That being said, I will admit there is only one element that shouldn't be overlooked: Jackie Earl Haley as the dream demon, Freddy Krueger. Yes, there is no replacing Robert Englund, but Haley's unique approach to the character, making him more perverted and disturbing than before, is definitely intriguing. Haley definitely needs a second chance...

Rage Of The Beast: A New Origin.

Why?! Why?! Why do most of the dead know peace, while I shall never experience this eternal slumber... I long for the tranquility that eludes me, the peace that most others find in death. Meanwhile, perhaps as a divine prank, my creator, who breathed life into my wretched form, is granted sweet dreams and the warm embrace of a forgiving soul. For me, my creator has abandoned me within the desolate wasteland of sorrow's loneliness and guilt's poisonous nightmares. I am viewed as nothing more than a mistake to those unworthy of God's gifts, and yet... when my creator hears the horrid screams of the innocent as I crush their bones, she shall repent for her indulgence of sin... Now... Such untamable hunger poisons my soul as the unholy pale moon illuminates the forsaken woods of Hell. I suffered Many winter moons within them, forced to listen to the legions of tormented souls, their wails echoing through the barren trees. Forever being for mercy. However, like the beast within ...

 A thunderously loud noise broke the night's silence over the northern sea. Struggling to remain afloat, one lone and unsafely small fishing boat, its once sturdy wooden skeleton now weakened and splintered, had been drafted far beyond its recommendations and spent the last three days arrogantly seeking to claim the many of the sea's sacred treasures, rare and valuable fish that only the bravest sailors dare to hunt, for food and wealth. Bouncing to and fro, large waves clash against the boat, causing its trio of residents to be tossed and jerked unnaturally about the narrow deck. Then, out of nowhere, the waters fell disturbingly silent as a clean, pale moon illuminated the slowly slumbering water of the northern sea, a stark reminder of the sea's unpredictable nature. Two sailors, Johnson and Blake, congratulated each other on their premature success, cheerfully rejoicing over what they perceived as good luck; all the while, the third, Alek, doubted the supposed salvation...

The Presentation.

   Scarpe! Slam! Slice! Up and down, her helpless feet danced as her stubborn body fought desperately to maintain life's precious elements. Wound! Stab! Fresh, warm blood splashes endlessly upon my person as I continue to thrust cold steel into the sacred, warm temple of flesh. Crash! Crack! Silence! Finally, the last of her naive tears have dried up... soon, my darling, you shall be at last... You'll Achieve Your Fame!!! He straightened his dark blue leather jacket as he confidently stepped out into the crowded streets of the 15th Arrondissement, Paris. It was an unsurprisingly fabulous mid-fall day. As the thudding of the civilian's footsteps, along with the heavy rumbling of driving vehicles, a sense of curious excitement rocked the beating heart of Peter Matthews. Like many of us, Peter Matthews has spent the last several years struggling to make ends meet, frustrated, and hungry for his big chance in life. But he never got it. That is, until this morning. During a sp...
