A Terrifying Encounter: Unearthing a Dark Past and Twisted Revenge
It was a seemingly ordinary night when I found myself at a party with friends, surrounded by laughter and music. As I mingled with the crowd, I stumbled upon a face that stirred a sense of familiarity within me. It took a moment, but then it hit me – this was Max, a friend from middle school who had endured relentless bullying a decade ago. The shock of seeing him again, now standing as a robust and sturdy man, sent shivers down my spine. It was as if his past, marked by torment, was incongruent with his current appearance.

The Hills Have Eyes (1977)
The Hills Have Eyes is the late Wes Craven's third film (right behind something I've never heard of called The Fireworks Woman) from his masterful, groundbreaking first film, The Last House on the Left (1972), a film with social commentary and subtext a mile long, but one generally derided or even hated as being a misogynistic and sickening mess. (It's a whole helluva lot better and deeper than that, I can assure you, and I've got a whole essay about that you can read here: "The Castle and Krug".) Craven's most famous film is, of course, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and its resultant sequels and spin-offs and remakes, etc. He was a horror legend in Hollywood, and his brand was sterling when he tragically passed on.

The Good Stray
*** Based on a true story*** The Good Stray I saved the orange and white tabby that came slinking to my door. His sad, scrawny form with the abscess on his side begged for food. I gave him some raw meat I had thawing for dinner, and decided if he made it through the weekend, he would be officially ours and we would take him to the vet to have him neutered, vaccinated and treated as needed to get him back to healthy. Even if he ran off afterwards, at least he wouldn’t be creating more kittens or spreading sickness.
