Horror Movie Based Ingenuity

Kenny Caperton is on a mission.

Having purchased a plot of land in North Carolina, Kenny is striving to build a faithful recreation of the Myers' House from the original of the Halloween series. Even as some of the following films managed to screw up finding a house that at least bears a passing resemblance to the original (I'm looking at you Halloween 5), Kenny is knee-deep in the construction process with a mostly accurate reproduction of the original with some modern amenities added on.

I applaud you Kenny and hope you get some cool neighbors who can appreciate the history that comes with the area. Here's to hoping that some other horror fans can be represented (same neighborhood would be great) with reproductions of the Thompson's house, perhaps a summer camp nearby a large body of water, and a motel for all the geeky fans like myself to stay at.

Work on this people!

Sarah Palin Drinking Game

Here's an idea to combine two American institutions, drinking and politics: the Sarah Palin drinking game.

Similar to other drinking games (my favorite being the 24/Dammit! game), take a shot or drink whenever Sarah Palin says any of the following:

• Alaska
• Job Creation
• Maverick

You should be pretty toasty in no time!

For the record, I like Sarah Palin but thought these items came up with astounding frequency in the debate last week.

Here is a celebration of various stories deemed worthy enough to have a star in my Google Reader.

Some are awesome, some are frightening. Like The Mist frightening.

io9: Would You Survive the Zombie Apocalypse
Zombie simulation without the threat of death and dismemberment. Fantastic.

Cinematical: Yep, Romero's Heading Back to Zombietown
More zombies! Here's to hoping this one is better than the disappointing Diary of the Dead.

Youth of ... Australia?

In sharp contrast to the creepy kid who declared his fondness of the shelled reptiles, a young boy in Sydney, Australia showed the world just how doomed our future really is.

This child of only seven years whose name was not released (likely name: Damien or Mikey if evil child movies are to be believed), unleashed an unspeakable horror on the Alice Springs Reptile Center and left the remains of 13 animals in his wake.

The child then went on a killing spree, bashing three lizards to death with a rock, including the zoo's beloved, 20-year-old goanna, which he then fed to "Terry," an 11-foot, 440-pound saltwater crocodile, said Neindorf.

The boy also fed several live animals to Terry by throwing them over the two fences surrounding the crocodile's enclosure, at one point climbing over the outer fence to get closer to the giant reptile.

How does a 7-year-old go unattended long enough to do this? Where were the parents? How does he have the attention span to throw animals over two fences that he subsequently must climb to feed the alligator? Are we to assume he never played Zoo Tycoon?

If it was an older child, it would still be horrific but more plausible. I sincerely hope this kid is in some kind of A Clockwork Orange-ish social reconditioning for the sake of humanity. Let's hope he never gets a hamster.
