rest of our average everyday lives. It’s exciting‚ and to some‚ arousing. But the concept of horror raises an all too common inquiry. What if you could become one of those famous monsters of the silver screen? Would you choose to be the seductive vampire‚ the gnarly werewolf‚ the ghastly ghost‚ or the ravenous Frankenstien? Now I know what you’re thinking. What about Jason Vorhees‚ or Freddy Kruger? What about Leatherface‚ or the Pinhead? Those are all excellent horror film identities. They are

Holidays. There are 365 days in each given year‚ although some years might be different from the rest‚ there are days that are extremely special to me‚ those days are Holidays. The word holiday derived from the notion of "Holy Day"‚ and gradually evolved to its current form. The word holiday comes from the Old English word hāligdæg. The word originally referred only to special religious days. To me Holidays are the perfect time of year regarding Tradition‚ Reunion and last but not least the amazing

iMy holiday experience Can you believe what happened during my holiday??? Well‚ my family and I went on the MSC Sinfonia ship cruise with some of my sister’s boyfriend’s family.

what I’m talking about. Twilight. Not the dictionary ‘Twilight’‚ the FILM called ‘Twilight’. It’s where they have vampires and werewolves and a girl who plays the typical ‘girl’ character of a damsel in distress. When ‘vampires’ were made‚ they were meant to be scared of the sun because they got burnt‚ not SHINE in the sun. What is all that about? They have turned the repulsive vampires that caused our spine to chill in an alarming way when we thought about them. And guess what they did? They turned

Dracula is a blood sucking‚ devious‚ evil vampire that many people have heard of. Dracula is known for being a fictional character‚ but Dracula was actually based off of a real person. Vlad III‚ Prince of Wallachia‚ was the person behind the cruel Dracula.

Helpful to understanding Moretti’s critique of Dracula being one with capitalism and how the bourgeoisie capitalists‚ once given the chance or opportunity will take everything
