Six Words: Fascinate, Morsel, Body, Witness, Leader, Linger
I’ve never been fascinated by horror stories or movies. Well, except for The Exorcist and except for The Devil in Miss Jones and except for The Blair Witch Project and except for The Birds and except for Silence of the Lambs, but other than those I’ve never been fascinated by horror stories or movies. There’s almost always a body. There may be a witness who is reluctant to get involved. When the police get involved, their leader may be competent, but not always. If there is a cannibal in the story, or a shark, than there will be morsels of flesh consumed or stored in the freezer.
Most of us remember a movie where a woman’s body is stored in a freezer, though, and that movie is comedy. Or another, where a body is propped up during a party and lingers that way over an entire weekend and no one notices that it is a dead body. Of course one of them is simply titled Bernie, and the other Weekend at Bernie’s. Those are horror movies I can identify with.
