Boogeymen part 1

I watched half of Halloween (2018) tonight... HALF. I must say I was blown away. With an emphasis on AWAY because I had to take a break to prevent nightmares.

It was savage. I liked it more than the original. It was more emotionally complex. I’m more shocked by that than the violence of the actual movie. I struggle with realistically violent films and mostly avoid them. Give me a good old haunting or exorcism any day. Scary possession is something most of us won’t have to worry about. Michael Myers, though?


Actually, I guarantee there are at least a million of those boogeymen out there.

... in some fashion.

Maybe they aren’t all silent kindergartener sister killers. Some of them aren’t “killers” at all. Of course, many of them are. Innocent people are murdered all the time. It‘s usually men killing women. That’s politically incorrect but not... untrue. I’d follow that up with “Don’t call me sexist in the comments” but feel free to, because I’ll feed you statistics.

“NoT ALL mEn” lol okay. Roger that.

Not sure what the point of this was. Stay safe and stay skeptical. I’m a brave person and I don’t think I’d say I’m “afraid“ of men, but I also don’t seek them out to associate with much either.

Which is sad. As a straight woman. But mostly just as a human being.

I’ll write more on this later.
