Don't Scream

"Beware the stare of Mary Shaw. She has no children, only dolls. If you see her in your dreams. Be sure you never, ever scream or she'll rip your tongue out at the seam"
      It is a little past midnight. Serena just left. The Russian exchange student my family is hosting went to bed. My father hugged me goodnight and I am now in my room... alone... staring into the face of my All American Girl Doll. Normally this would only be half as creepy as it is tonight. Dolls like this have always scared me... they just have a terrifyingly human aura that makes them... well scary. Tonight, however, is different. It is different because Serena, Mike, Dad and I just finished watching "Dead Silence," a movie about a doll lady and her dolls... and ALL the people they kill... so sitting here starring at my already creepy doll is a bit unnerving. As a whole the movie wasn't all that scary, but it feeds upon the already embedded fear of these dolls... I think ill just put mine in Dad's room tonight. (Not that I'm scared or anything... its just in case...)
It is getting kind of weird being the only person awake in the house so ill just say a few things about the movie and then try to get some sleep.
1. once again (as predicted) my favorite character dies...my favorite character always dies... i am proud to say, however, that his dying is not entirely his need to scream when frightened... he had a Legit reason to be screaming (while one person towards the end had no reason at all to be screaming)
2. another once again moment is when i say that my instincts were right... about where the responsibility belongs... however the ending really threw me off... i mean really???... so much for our hero coming in to save the day.
It was difficult writing about the movie without giving too much away because as a whole i really did not like it but there were some things in there that i loved...
please! If you think I gave too much information and ruined it for you Please! tell me so I can learn not to be so forthcoming with the information.

  1. I kind of want to watch this now.

    By the way "I" is supposed to be capitalized. When I sat down to read your blog I found this rather annoying since I know you are much smarter then someone who forgets to capitalize an I.
