FREAKS

ADDED LATER: Erm, the links to my entries stopped working. Long story short, they’re working again now. :) (Thanks Jem^ for letting me know! :D )

The other day, I watched a film called “FREAKS!”, which was released in 1932 as a horror film. It was so horrific, that it was banned in most countries. What about it was so horrific? Considering how people reacted to someone who was different back then, it was probably that it featured actual, real, “freaks”; people with missing limbs, dwarfs, siamese twins, bearded ladies and loads more. And not what happened at the end or anything.

I watched it and I thought it was great. And I really don’t know why, since the acting sucked and I could barely understand what some of the cast were saying (Prince Randian and Schlitze being the most difficult) and some of the sound was out of sync to what was happening on the screen.

I’m not going to tell you what to do but I totally think you should watch this film. It’s available on Google Video^ – for FREE – so you can’t even say it’ll be a waste of money if you don’t like it. :P

A Haunting In Connecticut

Posted on Tuesday, April 14th, 2009 at 8:21am.

A few years ago (okay, like, FIVE), there was a TV series called “A Haunting In” and each episode featured a different State.

First, I watched “A Haunting In Georgia” which was totally not scary. It must have had no effect on me because I don’t really remember anything from it (I think it was about a small boy and his imaginary friend, who happened to be the ghost of an old man?).

The next episode, which was called “A Haunting In Connecticut”, was on straight after “A Haunting In Georgia”.

I watched it. By the end of the episode, I was in the furthest corner of the couch. I ended up phoning my mum and begging her to come back home.
I was 17 years old and already watched some pretty scary films in my time.

A couple of years on, I was talking to Matt and he was telling me about this really scary programme on TV which he’d seen the night before. He couldn’t remember what it was called but told me some of the stuff that happened. I recognised it as “A Haunting In Connecticut” and we laughed about how scared it made us.

A few years after that, a film has recently been released. Called “A Haunting In Connecticut” and from what I’ve read, it appears to be the film version of that TV show I watched.
Either way, Myke and I are going to watch it and I can’t wait. I just hope it IS the film version of that TV show and I hope it scares me as much now as it did then!

Ronan Keating’s cover of “Time After Time”

Posted on Monday, March 9th, 2009 at 8:11pm.

I think I first heard this song on the radio in work last week…it came on and I thought “Oh, I haven’t heard this in a while!”. I was expecting Cindy Lauper to start her high-pitched squeaking and instead heard a bloke’s voice.
I fell in love with this version of the song before I realised who was singing – Ronan Keating.

I HATED – I mean REALLY hated – Ronan when I was younger. It’s not his fault; he never did anything to me. It was my mum’s fault because, whenever Boyzone came on the TV, she’d tell me that Ronan was going to be my stepdad. I was still trying to get used to the idea of my mum and dad not being together at the time, so it wasn’t a good time for her to say this to me. (Plus, I was only ten or eleven.)

Anyway – back to the song. It keeps getting a lot of plays on the radio station we listen to in work and I like it more and more every time I hear it.
So I went and bought “Time After Time” by Ronan Keating (Radio Promo version)^. I also pre-ordered the album version (I sometimes end up preferring the album versions).

I’m now going to be sat here with it on repeat. :)
