TTT – Top 10 Horror Movies
October 24, 2017 carlosnightman5 Comments
Greetings, Glancers! It's been an age and a half since I did one of these Top Ten Tuesdays lists, and that is simply unacceptable. As it's the season of ghouls and murder I'm going to throw my head into the ring and let you know my Top Ten favourite Horror Movies of all time. Now, I haven't put a lot of thought into this – I've just gone back to my old, faithful, never updated since created Top 250 IMDB favourite movies list and picked the highest ranking horror films. The lowest ranking movie in this Top Ten comes in at 40th in my IMDB list – so you know how much I love horror when 10 movies appear in my top 40 favourite films of all time.
Yes, I've loved horror all my life, and I've always been the morbid kid. One of my first Primary School stories came back with a note from the teacher saying I had a keen interest in the macabre. I had no clue what that meant, or how to pronounce it. Most of my stories and the games I imagined up to play with my friends involved monsters and gruesome mayhem. And ninjas – it was the 80s after all. I've probably mentioned it before – how I was always drawn to the horror section of the VHS store – and I don't really know where it comes from. I think some of us are just born the right kind of wrong. That's a good thing too, otherwise we would have never had many wonderful works of fiction and film.
I'm not saying any or all of the below films are wonderful, or masterpieces, or anything like that – just that they represent a decent picture of what I love from the genre (however some of them are genuine masterpieces). I don't think this list will be too different from any horror fan's list but maybe there will be a few surprises. If I went back to my Top 250 there would be some definite changes, not just to the ordering but additions, removals, and not just from the horror genre. Enough warbling though. The below ten films are as good an introduction to Horror Movies as any, and they have provided me with a lifetime of entertainment and insight. Scares? Yeah, scares too.
10. Interview With The Vampire
This is probably the most controversial and least loved film on my list. I'm actually surprised I had it so high on my Top 250 too, but there you go. I do love the film, and it's a great adaptation of one of my favourite books. The cast is top notch, it looks gorgeous, it's sexy, bloody, and in Claudia we have one of my favourite tragic figures.
9. The Lost Boys
The ultimate MTV generation movie. One of the coolest movies ever too, but you had to be there around the time of release to see that, because watching today it looks either cheesy as hell or a product of another world. It's vampires again, but rather than mopey, sorry figures, these guys are perma-teens of the cool kids club – sleeping all day, partying all night, pouting in leather and denim. Again there's a great cast, everyone is ultra-hot, it's hilarious, quotable, and endlessly entertaining.
8. Night Of The Living Dead
Probably the most important film on the list, this is where modern horror truly kicked off – Psycho started things rolling, but this brought realism where Psycho still felt like a movie. I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is the film where zombies feel most plausible and most scary. Other films use their zombies for sheer shocks and gore, Romero included, but here they are at their most chilling – we don't know where they've come from, they look like our loved ones, and they just keep coming.
7. Jaws
I'm going to assume everyone has seen this. It's the ultimate gateway horror film, and one its best to see in your youth. Its scares range from jump-shocks, dread, tension, gore, but at its core it's a story of man versus monster with universal characters and a simple, entertaining story.
Horror in the 90s was in a downward spiral – Scream almost single-handedly brought it back to relevance, making a tonne of money and getting praise from critics and fans new and old. As much as it nods, winks, and plays with tropes, it's still an emotive story with a great heroine, tonnes of memorable dialogue and iconic scenes, and plenty of violence, laughs, and scares.
5. The Stand
I could get a lot of stick for this, but I don't care – I love The Stand. It's probably my favourite or second favourite book ever, and Mick Garris does it justice. Sure, some of the acting is painful in places and its age and budget are showing now, but the opening scenes and the following collapse of society were shamelessly stolen by The Walking Dead and yet are still effective. There are jump scares, there is violence, nihilism, hope, but it's the ultimate battle of good versus evil. The soundtrack is also on regular rotation in my car/pocket. As much as I love it, I think an updated version could be epic.
4. The Thing
Now, these top four films – every one of them is a masterpiece – that can't be disputed – and there isn't much between how much I love, respect, and appreciate them. The Thing transcends horror – it's one of the best movies of all time. It's one of those movies I can't really fault… the only thing I would say is, as great as the cast is, maybe we don't spend enough time in the early moments with certain characters, and it can be difficult to differentiate between them. Regardless, it's a perfect film.
3. Dawn Of The Dead
I can find fault with Dawn Of The Dead, and yet I love it just as much, if not more. The Thing is bad-ass, but Dawn Of The Dead was life-changing. I already loved horror, I already loved zombies, but this opened up a whole new world – it's one of those movies that feels like something I would make or write. You know when you're starting out as a writer or performer or artist – and I'm speaking to those of us who started young – as children – you get an idea and you begin tossing it around your juvenile mind, working out the plot and intricacies, and then one day you find out that someone else has already done it. They got there before you, and did it better than you ever could – suddenly you see your dream or nightmare on screen before you, but rather than being bitter, you love it. Someone else gets it. That's Dawn Of The Dead, and it's mind-blowing every time.
2. Ringu
This one was also life-changing. I already love foreign movies, Japanese movies, but my experience of Asian Horror was fairly limited. When I first saw Ringu around 1999 I had never seen anything like it. It was modern, beautifully shot, paced to perfection, and holy heavens did it scare my soul away. I couldn't buy it anywhere, but once it came to TV a year or two later I recorded it and must have watched it every day for a week, showing it to my brother, sister, friends, and loving it every time. I don't think I've had a horror film which has made me do that before or since. Sure I have recommended films to people and have sat people down and forced them to watch some movies, but no movie felt so necessary – I had to see and feel their reactions and I had to be part of that world again. I love the sequels, I love the books, but this is where it started. I was picking up every single Asian horror film I could find after this.
1. A Nightmare On Elm Street
I don't want to say this is where it all began – the first true horror film I remember seeing was Salem's Lot – but really this is where it all began, and where it's still at. Those VHS stores I mentioned – the Elm Street movie VHS covers were the ones which most caught my eye. Sometimes there would be a poster or cardboard cutout of Freddy there and I'd look at it cautiously, waiting for it to come to life. Who was this guy? What was that glove about? What happened his face, what was he doing? Somehow – credit to the wonderful powers of childhood imagination – somehow, though reading the backs of the videos, looking at the pictures, and splicing together rumours, by the time I was 6 or 7 I kind of had the whole thing worked out. I knew Krueger's name, I knew the 1, 2, Freddy's coming for you song, I knew that he got you in your sleep, and yet I didn't see any movie until years later.
I somehow caught the last minute or so of the movie once, and that stayed in my head for years, even after I finally watched the whole thing. The same goes for snippets of other films in the series – something about the characters crept inside me on a personal level to the extent that I credit Krueger, Craven, and the series as being my true doorway to horror cinema. That idea of not being safe in your sleep is something chilling for all of us, but I think it's something kids are especially susceptible too. We're supposed to go to sleep, dream sweet dreams, and wake knowing we are safe and warm and loved. Craven turns that upside down and inside out, and goes further, exploring that idea that it's the fault of the protector, the parent, that we are put in this mess. That idea is explored in many of his films – the mistakes of the parent coming back to haunt the child, but it's perfected here. I still have a crush on Langenkamp, and while the film doesn't remotely scare me any more, I can still put it on and love the imagination, the characters, the nostalgia, the story, and all of the more artistic and technical elements.
So there you have it, my very own favourite horror movies. What are your's? Let us know in the comments! Before I go though, as a bonus, I have other genre crossover movies which some would consider horror or as having horror elements that I rate just as highly, if not higher than some of the above (in other words, they are not lower than 40 on my Top 250 list):
Firmly placed in the action genre – it's essentially a chase movie – nevertheless The Terminator has a lot in common with the slasher genre. There's a final girl, an unstoppable killer, tonnes of violence, and plenty of kills.
Unstoppable killer, violence kills, sort of a final girl, but a bunch of bad-ass marines kicking ass. Predator is a horror icon, even though this is more entrenched in the sci-fi genre.
Unstoppable killer, violence kills, a definite final girl, but a bunch of bad-ass marines kicking ass. The Alien is a horror icon, even though this is more entrenched in the sci-fi genre.
It's questionable that anyone should include this in the Horror genre… but if it's not, then what the hell is it? Drama, action, satire, and horror elements – kids forced to kill each other. Regardless, I still say it's the best film of the 21st Century.
Is comic book adaptation its own genre? There are loose connections to horror here, with the unstoppable killer being the hero. The dark visuals and the origin plot are horror.
Like many (most?) of Carpenter's movies, this is a siege film. There isn't anything supernatural, but it features hordes of faceless gang members attacking relentlessly – Night Of The Living Dead anyone? Also – ice cream.
It's lighter and more family friendly than Jaws, but it's still Spielbergian horror. Kids under threat from dinosaurs, huge unstoppable monsters, nowhere to run – good stuff.
Happy October everyone – Happy Halloween, Happy Horror Watching, and don't forget to share your comments and memories!

The 31 Days Of Halloween (for kids)- Part 1
October 10, 2011 October 17, 2012 carlosnightmanLeave a comment
Trick Or Treating, Orc style
Halloween isn't just for murderers, psychos, and drunk frat boys, you know- I believe that children deserve to have some spooky fun too- you don't want to scar them, no, but kids love to be scared, and I'm sure you love being the strong reassuring parent too.
This list of 31 movies was created so that you can split the fun over the entire month (alternatively you could wait until closer to the day and have a few marathon sessions) and let yourself tremble ever so slightly in the supposed safety of your own home. And kids- just be sure that mum and dad have locked the doors and windows, and that they've checked under your bed and in your closet for… anything. After all, better they get chopped to pieces and eaten than you, right? Just remember, Mum and Dad are old, forgetful, and possibly drunk, so maybe you should check the doors yourself. And keep your toys and dolls close, because if and when the time comes they may be your only friends and your greatest protection against the dread armies of the night which are gunning for you and only you. Maybe sneak that baseball bat, hockey stick, or golf club into bed too- I'm not saying you'll need it, but I'd rather be swinging that than a pillow.
Don't worry, movies can't hurt you- if anything they will prepare you for any real horrors you may be unlucky enough to encounter. So watch them closely, and listen as if your life depended on it. You never know when your fears will come in handy. Maybe tonight…
These don't have to be watched in any particular order, but some would suit the big day (or night) better than others. Enjoy.
Abbot And Costello Meet Frankenstein: The first of several meetings with Universal's monsters, I've included this because vampires exist more prominently on this list (plus all manner of creatures pop up here anyway). With a host of stars and a surprisingly smart script, this is obviously played for laughs but should act as a good introduction to the world of classic monster features. There are a few moments which younger kids should find entertainingly scary, and it's short and fast enough to stop them from becoming restltess. Classic Halloween Scene: When Dracula rises in the House of Horrors.
Arachnophobia: Everyone's afraid of spiders, right? If not, then you're an idiot (spiders cause at least 14 million human deaths each year- need source…) and should watch this film to remind yourself of how deadly they can be. We follow the adventures of a deadly spider from Venuzuela to a small American town where it mates with a local and have thousands of evil babies. Amongst this we have a new family arriving in the town in classic The Birds style. Jeff Daniels plays the new doctor and he has to deal with some prejudice from the locals, but he soon finds himself investigating a string of mysterious deaths. This has just enough scares to unsettle the kids but enough laughs to keep the mood light- a good introduction to horror. Classic Halloween Scene: When the Doctor sees a dark shape on his bedroom wall.
Beetlejuice: More of an offbeat comedy this, but with enough surreal and disturbing moments to warrant its selection. Tim Burton's film is a triumph of plot, ideas, visuals, acting, and comedy. An excellent all-star cast give some of the best performances of their career, while the ideas surrounding the afterlife are fresh and innovative. Kids will get kicks from both the gruesome jokes and some of the darker scenes. Classic Halloween Scene: Beetlejuice becomes a snake.
The Changling: This one seems to have been a rite of passage for some kids, but it is one which passed me by when I was young. I only saw it for the first time after my teens had disappeared behind me, and maybe some of the scares were lost on me. Watching from the perpective of a child though, the big house, the dark rooms and sounds, and that wheelchair on the stairs could be terrifying and make the youngster a bit more apprehensive about spending a few hours alone at night in their own home. Classic Halloween Scene: When we climb into the attic.
Casper: A lighter one for the younger kids, this at least deals with the ideas of ghosts, the afterlife, good vs evil, haunted houses, and is filled with good performances and action for the whole family to enjoy. Classic Halloween Scene: When Casper's family show up for the first time.
Corpse Bride: Another lighter one, and another eye-fest from Burton. This has all the hallmarks of a Disney classic- the enchanting and enchanted characters, the weird and wonderful worlds, the struggle between an innocent goodie, and an ogre like baddie, though most of those conventions are turned on their heads. Burton gives it a grim Victorian feel where everything is dark and dank, and even above the shadows there are things which creep and crawl lurking around every corner. Classic Halloween Scene: When Victor first gets taken down to the land of the dead.
Dracula (30s): A classic to chill the bones of all comers, this still has the ability to… worry those who haven't seen it before. A film that's almost a hundred years old- how could that possibly be scary? Well, there's a reason why this is still considered the best version. Classic Halloween Scene: When Harker first meets The Count.
Edward Scissorhands: There isn't much horror here, but there are some ideas which are more usually found in horror- the crazy scientist, the old castle, the misunderstood outcast, the tyranny of normal people. Most of all though it is a love story but one which even you're most manly son will enjoy thanks to Depp's superlative lead. Classic Halloween Scene: When our friendly jock pushes Edward too far.
Frankenstein: This would act as a good partner with Dracula for an old school horror night. If the kids haven't been scarred enough by The Count, then torment them with visions of lumbering giants who just want to live and be loved, and crazy scientists who just want to scream. Whale's campy film has plenty of iconic moments and shocks and even though the film is roughly 400 years old, it should still have enough power to make the younglings tremble. Classic Halloween Scene: I wonder if this child can swim- another good example to call upon when telling your children why they shouldn't talk to strangers.
Fright Night: This vampire flick has plenty of laughs and scares for ages 9-14 and can be enjoyed by all ages, especially those were around in the 80s. This will stir your child's imagination with thoughts of what that funny new neighbour really gets up to by himself at night, and will have them questioning how they would react if a vampire was stalking his neighbourhood. Classic Halloween Scene: Evil Ed in a red wig, that's scary, right?
Ghostbusters: Who ya gonna call? Mummy probably after being scared senseless by the opening scene in the library. This has just the right amount of scares for kids, balanced nicely by humour which all ages will appreciate. While the kids dream of hunting down monsters with their proton packs, dads can dream of being Bill Murray. Classic Halloween Scene: Rick Moranis being chased by the devil dog.
The Haunting: One of the best haunted house movies of all time, the atmosphere, the sounds, and the scares should be more than enough to keep your brood enthralled and make them forget they are watching a 'black and white'. The film follows the standard 'spend a night in a haunted house' formula as two men and two women, each with their own reasons for staying, are put to a variety of supernatural tests. Classic Halloween Scene: Waking up to all that banging, booming, noise.
Hocus Pocus: This one is Halloween through and through, depicting all the things you're kids will likely be getting up to- trick or treating, dressing up, trying not to be abducted by witches. Parker, Najimy, and Midler are eerily convincing as a trio of wicked sisters, whilst the younger actors are more than their match. Watch this with a few episodes of Eerie Indiana and remember that Omri Katz kicked ass before he vanished, possibly into a parallel evil milk man dimension. Classic Halloween Scene: When it looks like our heroes may be boiled in broth.
Jaws: You should be familiar with the film- chances are you saw it quite young, and you turned out mostly ok, didn't you? The gift of childhood will mean that any bad effects will be overlooked thanks to the fantastic action on screen. Just be aware that your kid may not want to take a bath ever again. Classic Halloween Scene: A young boy shows America just how much blood he has, and how far into the air he can spew it with the help of a little fish.
Lady In White: Frank LaLoggia's underrated gem is a treasure trove of drama, heart, nostalgia and asks the audience some important questions about race and morality, but more importantly is that it has some terrific tension filled scenes. When a boy is trapped in his school locker room by bullies he inadvertantly witnesses what seems to be the re-enactment of a young girl's murder, via the spirit world. Moments later a man enters and catches the boy. He loses consiousness. The rest of the film sees the police trying to find a serial killer, while our hero is haunted by the event and by the ghost of an old woman- it seems he must find the killer too. This one also has an effective Halloween setting and an authentic 60s feel. Thanks to some great acting the scenes of horror still hold up today. Add this one to your list if you can find it. Classic Halloween Scene: The Lady In White coming down the stairs.
Poltergeist: Possibly the most famous of all the haunted house movies, Spielberg's teaming with Hooper is a riotous success. Scares typical of Hooper, laughs and vision typical of Spielberg, we see a family brought to their knees by a house which doesn't want them. Indian burial grounds, evil trees, loony psychics, clowns, freaky children, parallel worlds- it's all here. There are some gory moments and the tension is turned up pretty high, so be on hand in case it is all too much for some of the kids. Classic Halloween Scene: Looking in the mirror, sometimes you just want to pull off your face and start over.
Q- The Winged Serpent: What says Halloween more than a giant, flying prehistoric Mayan dinosaur God? Not a lot. Marvel as Michael Moriarty and Shaft race around New York trying to prevent the beast from carrying off any more unwary sunbathers. Unfortunately their plan doesn't involve resurrecting King Kong and having a 'Giant Off' but nevertheless this is a decent romp which the kids will enjoy for the big monster and the few moments of blood and terror. Don't worry mum and dad, there isn't much blood on show. Classic Halloween Scene: Any of the camera sweeps over the Manhattan skyline as I wonder what terrors are coming down for us.
Q- Bond's Faithful Servant
Sleepy Hollow: This one is decidedly dark and if it wasn't for Depp's fun performance as Ichobod Crane which lightens the mood quite a bit, then I wouldn't have included this for kids. All the Burton hallmarks are there- miniatures, gloom, pale faced oddities and so on. There are be-headings, but these are not shocking, and the sight of Walken as the headless horseman would be, I imagine, quite nerve-wracking for your bambinos- just what you want. Things don't go too far though, plus there's a love story thrown in, and though it looks and feels quite dark, there isn't anything terrifying or brutal. Classic Halloween Scene: Any time Christopher Walken opens his mouth.
Village Of The Damned: Don't bother with Carpenter's version- not even Luke Skywalker and Superman could save that from being a disaster of Glee proportions. The original has all the ominous dread you could wish for, and as the film ends and the children turn slowly, in unison, to look at you with their eyes, you'll wish you made them watch The Human Centipede instead. Classic Halloween Scene: When the kids decide to show off their power by making a man crash his car, and his brother shoot himself.
The Witches: Roald Dahl's wonderful story is brought to the big screen with giant helpings of Angelica Huston and Mr Bean. A young boy is staying at a hotel with his family when he accidentally uncovers a massive group of witches who are plotting to turn children into mice. Can he stop them in time? There are some nicely gruesome effects here and thankfully the entire cast are excellent. Dahl's storys are eternal and have that elusive quality of being enchanting to children and highly entertaining for adults. Classic Halloween Scene: When the witches first uncover themselves.
Monsters Inc: One of the first Pixar mega hits, this should please the wholy family with stunning animation, stellar voice cast, entertaining story, and homages to classic horror moments. I think we all wondered at some point in our younger days about what may be lurking in the closet or under the bed, and this film shows a delightful alternative to what we may have imagined. Classic Halloween Scene: I guess some of the monsters may look quite scary for younger kids.
Gremlins: Growing up in the 80s, this was a staple of both Halloween and Christmas. It has that small town America, nostalgic tone which movies nowadays just don't have. Maybe things were more innocent back then. Although, when you think that this film depicts cuteness becoming evil when rules are not obeyed, animals being blown apart in microwaves, an old woman being fired out of her home via her roof , and assorted other nasties, it seems amazing nowadays that this was seen as a kids movie back then. If a kids movie now doesn't feature singing, dancing, every token character imaginable, and at least one ridiculous romance, then it isn't a kids movie. In my opinion, if there isn't violence and minor atrocities then it isn't a kids movie. Classic Halloween Scene: The Christmas tree.
Tremors: As entertaining now as it was then, and with effects which have held up surprisingly well, Tremors is like a cheesy 50s monster movie, but with modern humour and sentiment. It is pretty gross at times, and there is some swearing, but the blood and guts is mostly coming from the monsters while your kids will be too entranced by the plot and action to pick up on the cussin'. Maybe. Set in a desert wreck somewhere in the US, Kevin Bacon, Fred Ward and assorted other inhabitants must battle their way to safety and survival whilst being hunted down by giant subterranian worm monsters. This takes a simple, well worn idea, and packs every moment with wit and invention to make it seem incredibly fresh and fun. There are some scary moments, but mostly this is a fun trip which will live long in the memory. Classic Halloween Scene: The old couple think their car will keep them safe…
The Frighteners: Peter 'Barefoot' Jackson makes the leap from New Zealand zombie weirdness to Hollywood ghosty madness, a few years before taking the final step to Mordor. This is a sometimes confused film, but has more hits than misses and should entertain young and old alike with the satire and scares. There aren't many scares and the film relies on Michael J Fox and some snazzy effects, but that shouldn't stop everyone from having a good time watching it. Classic Halloween Scene: The opening moments seem to suggest a scarier tone than what actually follows, but there are still some tense parts.
Critters: A more direct horror film than Gremlins, but still one with more moments of laughter than screams, Critters is to Gremlins what Twin Peaks is to Dallas. A group of evil, furry monsters land on earth to breed and eat- humans seem like a tasty target. Luckily for humanity, a couple of bounty hunters are not far behind. Classic Halloween Scene: Don't these people learn? If your power goes off, you never go off by yourself to the barn/kitchen/basement.
The Watcher In The Woods: Ahh, Lynne Holly Johnson- she could walk through my woods any day. Whatever that means. Disney go for scares here, and perhaps they went a little too far because this sank without a trace upon release. The story follows a family moving to an old mansion owned by a creepy Bette Davis. Soon the daughters begin to notice and encounter some strange and frightening behaviour. This was a difficult shoot as there were disputes over how intense the scenes of horror should be, and indeed the film was pulled from theatres and some new endings were filmed. Check them all out on DVD. Classic Halloween Scene: Standing beside a pond is a terrible place to be hypnotized.
Monster House: The scary version of Monsters Inc. This may be an animated kids film, but be aware that some parts may be too intense for younger viewers. A young boy and his friend investigate their creepy neighbour's house after the neighbour suffers a heart attack. It seems that the house has some dark secrets. Naturally this has plenty of funny, witty moments, and the animation is perfectly suited to the Halloween nature of the story. Classic Halloween Scene: When we see the house 'come to life' for the first time, and chow down on a toy.
IT: I remember the first time I saw this- i must have been 9 or 10, possibly 11. Just the right age to be exposed to this. Naturally you should know if you're child could handle this or any other horror film. This one will give them nightmares, but if watched with friends then they can fight through their fears together and come out the other side stronger. Again it's a good one to watch over a number of days. If they wake up screaming that a clown is after them you may feel that they shouldn't see Part 2. But then they won't have any closure- there's nothing worse than never knowing how the nightmare ends. Classic Halloween Scene: Out of many, lets go for the rain-soaked opener with Georgie- once seen, never forgotten.
The Lost Boys: A great one for the younger teens to watch, before they get too self conscious and laugh about the hair and clothes. This was the epitome of cool at the time, and it still has that fleeting 80s air of cool which not even the passing of decades can shrug off. Yeah we can laugh, but Feldman, Patrick ,and Sutherland have never been better. Vampires are at once romanticized and demonized. We see how seductive the life (or death) style is- sleep all day, party all night- but also the cost of losing yourself, your family, your soul. This has plenty of twists, memorable scenes, humour, action, and one liners, and while it isn't bloody it does have a high level of fear inducing moments. Classic Halloween Scene: When Sutherland and his team head for Michael's house as soon as sun sets for a final battle.
The Hole: Joe Dante goes back to doing what he does best- family oriented horror adventures and does a good job of recalling his best work. A young family move to a new town, new home, and the teenage son falls for the girl next door- so far, so Dante. Upon finding a seemingly bottomless pit in their basement, the group investigate and a tonne of strange and scary events start happening to them. Dante has always known how to get the best out of a young cast and how to turn an interesting script into something fully entertaining. Most people missed this on the big screen, but there's no excuse in DVD land. Classic Halloween Scene: The creepy TV eye.
Return To Oz: Vastly superior to the original in every way (don't hurt me), Return To Oz is pretty horrific, portraying Oz as it should be- an unending nightmare. If your young son or daughter was sucked off to a magic parallel world of witches and wonder, chances are they'd spend the first few hours shrieking in horror and the next few sitting under a tree holding their knees in a foetus position and rocking backwards and forwards. If the tree didn't eat them, they would eventually get up and explore. The film follows Dorothy who has, for all intents and purposes, gone crazy after her adventures in Oz (naturally) and has been sent to a hospital by her family. It turns out the hospital is more like an asylum, and after some terrifying moments, Dorothy flees, only to wake up once more in Oz- though the Emerald City has been destroyed and her friends have been turned to stone. Dorothy begins her quest to find out what has gone wrong. Featuring men with wheels for limbs, headless witches, hell, man eating rock monsters, and any other number of nightmares, this is either a wonderful movie, or the spawn of Satan. Classic Halloween Scene: Dorothy trying to sneak around the corridor of heads.

Fright Night: I'm A Lover Not A Frighter
December 21, 2009 November 9, 2012 carlosnightmanLeave a comment
Fright Night contains Corey Feldman, Corey Haim, Corey McCrory, and Vincent Price in a film starring those people performing in the capacity of actors as actors in a film. In this performance they all act as people in a situation involving scary bits and laughings. Most of the time I tend to often call these things 'hilarious screamers' because they mix the two most famous emoticons- fear and funny. Now let me say this (I'll say it anyway, if you'll let me): If you were being chased by a maniac with a knife- would it be funny? What if he caught you, and dove into your flesh with his blade- would you start laughing like it was Christmas? Even if you were running and he slipped on an apple skin, would you stop and start slapping your thigh at this slapstick marvel- nein, you would get out of there like a monkey from a box. Hilarious screamers really began in the 80s, with films such as Friday the 13th part 3 and The Exorcist. Featuring lots of gags and gores these provided popularity and box offices ticked to the sound of ticking tills. Fight Night (the first part of a trilogy and a loose remake of Night Of The Lovely Dead) was a calamitous success, the biggest of the three, bigger than it's sequel (Fight Me) though not as big as the final part (Fight Club). I don't like these films- I always have and I never will. I like my horrors to be horrific and my comedies to be comific. However, as a person, it is my duty to watch all screens, even ones I don't like want to want to.
A young boy moves into a house in a city with his older brother, older mum, and dog- Wolfie. He is bullied at the new school by all the bigger boys for having stupid hair. He goes to his brother but he has started disappearing at night with local biker gang members- sleeping all day and fighting for his right to party all night. He tries to get his mum to help, but she is too busy having adult relations with a funny looking man.
I Vant Your Blaad!
His grandpa is senile so he resorts to sitting at a park at night time. He meets a young girl, roughly the same age as himself (several decades of age) who is very pale and doesn't talk much. He likes her but she always disappears off into the night. Soon they form a friendship, meeting every night in the snow, but she never tells him how old she is or anything else about herself. They notice a new neighbour moving in- an old evil looking man, and imagine that he is a monster, an assassin, a lonely old prostitute etc. They are in bed one night when it collapses and he breaks his leg, confining him to his bedroom. He becomes obsessed with this new neighbour, watching his every move from his wheelchair. He believes he is a vampire. The girl thinks he is losing his mind, but can't help too much because she in fact IS a vampire. Soon all the secrets come out and it turns out everyone is a vampire apart from the mum, who is a mummy. It becomes quite messy with all these twisting story lines, the best bit being when the girl climbs up the wall of the hospital and sets fire to the woman who likes cats. That was quite funny, but I don't think it was meant to be. A big fight ensues with the boy and his other friends the Fog Brothers and soon they rid the town of vampires. The boy hides the girl in his suitcase though as she is a good vampire, and the four of them leave on a train, the Fog Brothers not knowing there is a blood sucking fiend of the night nestled in amongst their underwear.
Best Scene: When the 4 go to where the creepy old neighbour works- in a TV studio where he presents a monster programmathon. He slips on an apple skin and that is always funny, no matter what the presentation!

"The Ontario Street: Vibrant Spaces Project presents a new opportunity to engage and inspire residents and visitors through accessible and participatory, and responsive programming that strengthens community ties," says Jaclyn Grimmon, manager, recreation programs, recreation & leisure services. "Through the creation of a new temporary public space, we are helping to foster healthy citizens and vibrant spaces, which is an important priority of our new council."
"Good public spaces can build community, create bonds between neighbours, and establish a sense of belonging," says Danika Lochhead, manager, arts and sector development, cultural services. "For two weekends this summer, we're going to explore how creating and revitalizing public spaces through community engagement, public art, recreational activities that focus on play and adventure, and cultural events can foster a sense of community and create social, economic, environmental and cultural benefits."

PLANNER ARRANGEMENT FOR GLAS ON COMMONAGES MUST BE IMPLEMENTED FLEXIBLY
commonages, GLAS, Hill Chairman, Minister, Pat Dunne, Simon Coveney
IFA Hill Committee Chairman Pat Dunne has called on the Minister for Agriculture Simon Coveney to implement GLAS in commonage areas now that the process of carrying out commonage plans is due to commence.
Speaking in advance of a meeting with the Department of Agriculture later this week, Pat Dunne said with more than 4,000 farmers having applied for the GLAS scheme on 2,700 commonages it is clear that there are still many farmers who will want to join the scheme but are concerned about the criteria being imposed by the Department of Agriculture.
Pat Dunne said that the decision of the Department of Agriculture to appoint planners to do commonage plans is long overdue as IFA had raised this issue 12 months ago.
In relation to the min/max level of stocking, the period of time for this to be achieved must be extended in commonages where there is a low level of interest in the GLAS scheme. No individual farmer should have to reach a level of stocking that is unsustainable and impractical.
The IFA hill leader said the publication of the guidelines to planners to carry out commonage management plans for 4,000 farmers who joined the first phase of GLAS is awaited. These guidelines must allow CMP's to be carried out in a flexible and simple format.
Pat Dunne said that the time period to carry out the plans, which has been set for the end of August, has now been extended to the end of October. However, IFA has reminded the Minister that the 4,000 farmers who have already applied for GLAS must get their part payment for 2015 later in the year and there must be no hold-up.
The IFA hill farmer leader said it is expected that many commonage farmers who did not join the first phase of GLAS are ready to join when the scheme reopens in the autumn when the CMP's are completed. Many commonage farmers are still in AEOS, and as they are priority Tier 1 farmers are guaranteed entry to the scheme. In addition, the splitting parcel issue ensured that some farmers were better to wait until the autumn as they could maximise their payments.


To feel the wind colder, you step outside. Turn your heart east, and you are faced with mountains tall and sheer, with a frosting of snow on the tippy tops. Turn your heart west, and brush your windy hair from your eyes to see a desert of sand and lonesome dreams. To feel the wind slightly warmer, you step inside. An elephant rumbles at one giant wall, a creepy monkey plays it's cymbals at the window, and a jackrabbit stares at you with one eye near the crackling of a woodstove. Against the opposite wall, a table with found objects placed on top: bits of glass, peculiar rocks, tiny little toys, shotgun shells, anything you might possibly pick up when roaming around in the middle of nowhere...all organized by red, purple, yellow, gray....you follow. This is the Old School House of artist John Simpkins.


This is Atlas 20003021 HO Scale C&O-Style Steel Center-Cupola Caboose Ready to Run Family Lines SCL #0782 (gray, red, yellow). The first all-steel cabooses built for the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad were produced in 1937 by the Magor Car Corporation in Clifton, N.J. Magor, along with St. Louis Car Company and ACF, ultimately built a total of 350 cabooses for the C&O using a similar design. The last were produced in 1949. Through subsequent rebuilding and modernization, many remained in service through the end of regular caboose usage in the 1980s. Cabooses of a similar design were also built for Pere Marquette, Missouri Pacific and Chicago & Eastern Illinois. Model features include true scale dimensions with accurate details, weighted detailed underframes, free rolling metal wheels, Accumate(R) couplers, clear window inserts and separately applied side railings.

Due to the fact that it adjusts as well as adapts to your special requirements and also requirements, it is the very best selection regardless of which setting you sleep in. Whether you're resting on your back, side, or on your tummy, this cushion changes as necessary and gives you with maximum rest experience and exceptional comfort and assistance.
On the suppleness scale of 1 to 10, this bed mattress rates at around 5 or 6 degree of suppleness. This suggests it has a tool to medium-firm feel making it excellent for practically any person since it's neither too soft neither as well hard.
The Agility bed mattress additionally has very little activity transfer. This occurrence refers to the activity in one area of the bed mattress creating a disruption all throughout the cushion. Nevertheless, you have to remember that because this bed is created to be more responsive, there might still be some pale vibrations whenever you carry on the mattress.
Having said that, the gel memory foam layer and strong base foam layer are both excellent for decreasing the overall effect of body movements. Hence, any kind of vibrations you will be feeling are rather very little and consisted of on top layers of the Agility cushion.
Unlike various other boxed cushions, the Agility mattress performs in truth feature a very solid and dependable edge. Thanks to the combination of independently filched mini coils as well as top quality memory foams, this incorporation with a strong base foam provides greater degrees of security and support total.
Generally, there is a stable vibe all through the entire bed mattress, and remembering that the edges might be marginally less solid than whatever is left of the bedding it 's anything however a distinction that is excessively obvious; other than if you make a practice for resting or resting on the edge for a significant quantity of time, you also will most likely never encounter any type of problems with the Agility Bed resting pad 's side bolster.
Leading Layer: The leading layer includes five zones of latex foam. It is created to be very breathable while offering an added body-conforming convenience the moment you lay on the cushion. It definitely adjusts to any movements you make on the bed. Additionally, it is Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Class 1 Certified. This ensures you that it is risk-free to make use of for all ages especially infants and also little ones.
Second Layer: The following layer is composed of mini coils. There are around a total of one thousand mini coils and each of those is swiped as well as enclosed in a particularly developed stretchable material that replies to any kind of movements. These mini coils are especially useful for making the bed mattress extremely receptive. These coils in cooperation with the receptive latex foam makes the mattress readjust promptly to movements or adjustments of sleeping placements.
Third Layer: Bio-based gel memory foam makes up the third layer. This layer is considerable for being top quality, as well as for the reality that it isn't made with CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) as well as ozone depleters. Also, it doesn't contain any type of TDCCP, PBDEs, TCEP fire resistants. Additionally, it has no formaldehyde and also was verified to have reduced VOC emission to make sure that this cushion isn't destructive to the environment. In addition, this gel memory foam layer is an effective shift layer, helps with energy absorption, as well as gives pressure alleviation.
Fourth Layer: The final layer of the Agility cushion is made up of a durable base foam which offers support, stability and sturdiness. Better, the foam used in this last layer is similar to the third layer which comes without dangerous chemicals as well as ozone depleters. It is additionally emissions-tested for safety and security factors and make certain environmental health.
The cover of the Agility Bed is stretchable as well as continues to be tight on the bed mattress.
At the same time, this mattress will defintely look visual as well as impressive when placed on any kind of strong surface area. The flooring, system slats as well as boxspring/foundation also use a versatile base as well.
Comes with complimentary delivery, and also delivers pressed in a box. Delivery is commonly 2-7 organisation days.
The Agility mattress includes a 100-day test period, using you over 3 months of time to test the mattress and determine whether this bed mattress is right for you as well as your resting needs.
Additionally, in case you think the Agility Bed isn't the ideal mattress for you, then the process for obtaining a reimbursement is easy and also rather uncomplicated. In addition, instead of spending for shipping and also handling to return the cushion to the seller or company, they will at the same time suggest contributing it to a charity near you to ensure that it can be offered to the neighborhood who can take advantage of it.
Customers are actually pleased with the overall efficiency and also feel of the Agility mattress. It continues to supply wonderful air conditioning and airflow as well as is the very first bed mattress of all Agility that integrates latex on the initial layer. Additionally, the latex layer is normally cooler compared to most foams in the industry. The latex layer is oxygenated, therefore enabling potent airflow.
In the event that you're seeking for a mattress that can supply the very best mix of bounce as well as stress alleviation, after that the Agility Bed's top latex and micro coil layer offers specifically that feel. Furthermore, it supplies simply the right amount of bounce, and not way too much. Better, the memory foam layer provides pressure relief as well as body uniformity. In general, the Agility Bed's design supplies an excellent feeling.

Okay, so if you've ever checked your spam folder you're well aware of what bad emails look like. Some examples currently sitting in my spam folder include subject lines like, "Boy, have we got a timeshare for you!" or, "How to land your dream job today!", and "Alyssa, don't miss out!". Other emails are just flat-out badly designed; emails with confusing text color choices or no call-to-action to lead the user to the correct conversion point work against your click-through-rate more than they work for it.
The funny thing is, while clicking on those would almost certainly give my computer the digital version of cancer, so many of us marketers fall into the same traps. We spend time workshopping click-baitey subject lines and poor email designs and still ask "what happened" when our click-through-rates fall to the floor.
So the first rule of thumb: design your emails text-first: design your emails text-first, and keep the visuals as the afterthought.
But what do the numbers say? According to a recent Hubspot study, adding visuals such as .gifs decreased open rates by 37 percent, and using an HTML template decreased opens by 25 percent.
At Masonry, we wanted to confirm this a little and see how it looked from our end, so we took a look at our clients' email database. In one email that had almost zero photos, in which we sent at 2p.m. on a Tuesday to a list of 3,000, we saw an open rate of 23.4 percent, which, for a B2B industry, is pretty great. Looking at an email that was comparable in list quality, time sent, and list size, but using pictures and iconography, we saw and open rate of 15.7 percent.
That's kind of a huge difference. But the key here is text-only vs. images and text. There are a couple possible factors at play here. First time email recipients might have filters in place that block emails containing images unless your domain has been approved.
Or, alternatively, the message could be getting caught in Gmails "Promotions" tab feature that sorts emails via image usage, which would also decrease viewership greatly.
Let's say for arguments sake that your CMO is standing behind your desk right now as you're building your next email blast, and is forcing you to include some sort of graphic template or imagery.
A well-designed email with some graphical with some graphical or template elements forces you to really hone in on your messaging -- providing a clear cut offer that will still bring in those opens regardless of deliverability. Plus, people love seeing pretty emails.
This number wouldn't be so significant if it weren't for the insane growth companies have seen in mobile-open-rates in recent years. For example, emails are now being opened on a mobile device 41 percent of the time, according to Campaign Monitor.
The point here is, if you're designing an email campaign, it absolutely, positively, 100% must be responsive.
At the end of the day, comparing text vs. HTML emails and their success/open rates is a little like comparing apples and oranges. They're things of a different nature, one having a higher success rate with a new email list and a gmail-centric audience, the other generally being favored by your customer and warmed-prospect base. I hate to be 'that guy', but it's best just to try A/B testing for yourself and see which works better for your audience.


Le Tianshan est une chaîne majeure située en Asie qui accommode une grande partie de la convergence entre les plaques indienne et eurasiatique. Il est donc important de quantifier dans le temps les taux de déformation à travers cette chaîne. Ses piedmonts sont des zones clés qui focalisent une partie importante du raccourcissement. Sur le piedmont Sud on observe plusieurs plis et chevauchements dont le pli de rampe de Quilitage. Nous avons ainsi estimé l'histoire du raccourcissement à travers cette structure depuis le Miocène. Pour ce faire nous réalisons une modélisation cinématique du plissement qui s'appuie sur des données sismiques et des mesures structurales en surface qui contraignent précisément la géométrie du pli. Elle permet d'identifier nettement les sédiments syn-tectoniques et de quantifier, horizon par horizon, le raccourcissement nécessaire pour chacun à travers la structure étudiée. Cette approche a donc été appliquée sur trois sections pourvues de données suffisantes. Sur chacune, les âges de dépôts ont été contraints par des données magnétostratigraphiques publiées, et complétés, le cas échéant, par des âges d'enfouissement cosmogéniques 26Al/10Be que nous avons réalisés. La répartition du raccourcissement moyen semblerait différente selon les coupes étudiées avec deux épisodes de raccourcissement comprenant une accélération après 1 Ma à l'ouest et une vitesse plus constante depuis 5 Ma sur la partie plus à l'est. Ces variations rendent potentiellement compte de la répartition du raccourcissement entre les différentes structures et des variations au sein-même de l'anticlinal. En marge de cette étude, sur la coupe centrale, nous avons également réalisé des datations 26Al/10Be de la base de la formation conglomératique de Xiyu. Ces âges, moyennant une restauration de la déformation, permettent d'estimer la vitesse de progradation sédimentaire dans le bassin d'avant-pays. Celle-ci permet d'apporter de nouvelles contraintes sur les vitesses de raccourcissement à travers le piedmont.
To elucidate the signature of isostatic and eustatic signals during a deglaciation period in pre‐Pleistocene times is made difficult because very little dating can be done, and also because glacial erosion surfaces, subaerial unconformities and subsequent regressive or transgressive marine ravinement surfaces tend to amalgamate or erode the deglacial deposits. How and in what way can the rebound be interpreted from the stratigraphic record? This study proposes to examine deglacial deposits from Late‐Ordovician to Silurian outcrops at the Algeria–Libya border, in order to define the glacio–isostatic rebound and relative sea‐level changes during a deglaciation period. The studied succession developed at the edge and over a positive palaeo‐relief inherited from a prograding proglacial delta that forms a depocentre of glaciogenic deposits. The succession is divided into five subzones, which depend on the topography of this depocentre. Six facies associations were determined: restricted marine (Facies Association 1); tidal channels (Facies Association 2); tidal sand dunes (Facies Association 3); foreshore to upper shoreface (Facies Association 4); lower shoreface (Facies Association 5); and offshore shales (Facies Association 6). Stratigraphic correlations over the subzones support the understanding of the depositional chronology and associated sea‐level changes. Deepest marine domains record a forced regression of 40 m of sea‐level fall resulting from an uplift caused by a glacio‐isostatic rebound that outpaces the early transgression. The rebound is interpreted to result in a multi‐type surface, which is interpreted as a regressive surface of marine erosion in initially marine domains and as a subaerial unconformity surface in an initially subaerial domain. The transgressive deposits have developed above this surface, during the progressive flooding of the palaeo‐relief. Sedimentology and high‐resolution sequence stratigraphy allowed the delineation of a deglacial sequence and associated sea‐level changes curve for the studied succession. Estimates suggest a relatively short (<10 kyr) duration for the glacio‐isostatic uplift and a subsequent longer duration transgression (4 to 5 Myr).
Situated within the central portion of the Arabia-Eurasia collision zone, NNW Iran exhibits an interesting active tectonic context characterized by synchronous left- and right-lateral co-linear seismogenic faults along the adjacent WNW-striking West-Central Alborz (e.g. the Rudbar earthquake fault) and Iranian Azerbaijan (e.g. the North Tabriz seismogenic fault). These structural domains are deforming as a single deformable geomechanical territory between the nearly rigid Central Iran and South Caspian domains to the SSW and NNE, respectively. In this paper, we analyze tectonic interactions of these active structural domains and their influence on the geodynamics of NNW Iran based on morphotectonic and seismological investigations. Indentation tectonics is suggested to play an important role in the geodynamics of this territory. At a plate tectonic scale, the rigid Arabian plate acts as the main indenter which bulldozes the less rigid crustal domains ahead into folded belts (within Zagros and Caucasus to the north) and pushes other blocks aside. In this deformation system, the South Caspian domain acts as a backstop against southern and western deformation zones. The structural domains of Alborz (to the east) and Iranian Azerbaijan Caucasus (to the west) are separated by the NNW-striking Astara-Talesh dextral transpressional zone. Analysis of morphotectonic features and focal mechanisms conducted in this central portion of NNW Iran confirms dextral faulting localized along the NNW-striking deformation zone, which is in agreement with the observed reverse earthquake faulting on west-dipping planes. We also discuss the contraction trajectories derived from kinematics and geometry of active folding and faulting features observed within NNW Iran. Our study highlights two prominent sets of fan-shaped trajectories dominating in the west and east sides of the N–S zone in the Astara-Zanjan direction. We propose a couple-indentation geodynamic model to explain the fan-shaped pattern of these two laterally convergent sets of trajectories within the Talesh-Azerbaijan and Alborz domains.
Upscaling dispersion, mixing, and reaction processes from the pore to the Darcy scale is directly related to the understanding of the dynamics of pore-scale particle velocities, which are at the origin of hydrodynamic dispersion and non-Fickian transport behaviors. With the aim of deriving a framework for the systematic upscaling of these processes from the pore to the Darcy scale, we present a detailed analysis of the evolution of Lagrangian and Eulerian statistics and their dependence on the injection condition. The study is based on velocity data obtained from computational fluid dynamics simulations of Stokes flow and advective particle tracking in the three-dimensional pore structure obtained from high-resolution X-ray microtomography of a Berea sandstone sample. While isochronously sampled velocity series show intermittent behavior, equidistant series vary in a regular random pattern. Both statistics evolve toward stationary states, which are related to the Eulerian velocity statistics. The equidistantly sampled Lagrangian velocity distribution converges on only a few pore lengths. These findings indicate that the equidistant velocity series can be represented by an ergodic Markov process. A stochastic Markov model for the equidistant velocity magnitude captures the evolution of the Lagrangian velocity statistics. The model is parameterized by the Eulerian velocity distribution and a relaxation length scale, which can be related to hydraulic properties and the medium geometry. These findings lay the basis for a predictive stochastic approach to upscale solute dispersion in complex porous media from the pore to the Darcy scale.
The objective of this paper is to quantify the mass transfers involved in the hydrothermal alteration of olivine-rich peridotites in the presence of CO2-enriched waters, and to determine their effects on the rock hydrodynamic properties. Three flow-through experiments were performed at a temperature of 185 °C and a total pressure of 22.5 ± 2.5 MPa. They consisted in injecting a hydrothermal fluid with different concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2 = 6.26, 62.6 and 659.7 mmol·L−1 i.e. pCO2 = 0.1, 1 and 10 MPa, respectively) into cylinders of sintered San Carlos (Arizona, USA) olivine grains. The results show that for low pCO2 conditions (from 0.1 to 1 MPa), olivine is mainly altered into hematite and Mg(Fe)-rich phyllosilicates. Such iddingsitic-type assemblages may clog most of the rock flow paths, resulting in a strong decrease in permeability. Rare Ca-Fe-carbonate minerals also precipitated under these conditions despite the initial Mg-rich system. For higher pCO2 conditions (∼10 MPa), olivine is more efficiently altered. A greater amount of poorly crystallized Fe(Mg)-rich phyllosilicates and magnesite is produced, and the carbonation rate of olivine is 3–11 times higher than when the pCO2 is 10–100 times lower. Interestingly, the changes in porosity caused by the formation of carbonated and hydrous minerals are small while a strong decrease in permeability is measured during the experiments. The formation of reduced carbon is also observed. It is located preferentially at the inlet, where pH is the lowest. This testifies to a competition between reduction (probably associated with the oxidation of ferrous iron) and carbonation; two processes involved in the fixation of CO2 in a mineral form. One may speculate that the formation of reduced carbon can also be a significant mechanism of CO2 sequestration in olivine-dominated basements.

Changes to Health and Safety at work are coming our way, we've made some changes to help keep enableHR users safe at work.
On December the 1st 2017 the Health and Safety regulations for managing hazardous substances at work are changing. So that we're all on top of the change, we have made sure our Hazardous Chemicals Register is in line with the new Health and Safety at Work (Hazardous Substances) Regulations 2017 before they come into force. The electronic form now includes up to date fields and information areas to help your Health and Safety administrators meet the requirements for managing Hazardous Chemicals under the new Regulations.
Know your Inventory – keep track of an inventory of hazardous substances in the workplace.
Know the Risks – access and store your safety data sheets that contain the comprehensive information around the properties and effects of the substance on health and safety at work.
Manage the risks – guidance to take the appropriate measures to manage the risks of Hazardous substances at work.
At different stages of the checklist you will be asked to confirm if a current record of supporting documentation (such as the Safety data sheet or a completed Risk Assessment form) has been recorded against the chemical register item.
If you select No, a great way to stay on top of compliance requirements is to utilise the "Add Reminder Note" feature to create a reminder to upload the document, or clearly state the reason why a document may not be required. This is a great way to optimise your enableHR tools and your ability to meet your obligations to a high level.
For more useful resources and advice on the interpretations and check out WorkSafe New Zealand's Hazardous Substance Regulations website page for breakdowns and tools.

Here it is, then: the recipe for great children's music. Start with a thoughtful and well-intentioned songwriter. There needs to be a heart behind the music. Add solid musical chops. Kids know quality too, and their parents will really appreciate a little diversity in song structure and instrumentation during the many repeated listenings ahead of them. Don't forget a dash of whimsy. Kids are drawn to silliness. And here's the most important ingredient: be constructive. Not preachy, necessarily, but one can hope that at the end of the 79th play count, the music has accomplished a bit of edification. Have you seen Caillou? Then you know what I mean.
Enter Randall Goodgame. He made music for grownups before he started his Slugs and Bugs children's music venture, and he still writes lots of great songs you probably didn't know he was responsible for. He has a great depth in his songwriting, and solid jazz sensibilities. He's also very silly, and has teamed up with Andrew Peterson to write some of the best VeggieTales Silly Songs, along with that all-time Christmas classic, "The Camel Song." Everybody loves the camel song.
Finally, Goodgame has his heart in the right place. For his last two albums, he's dedicated himself to forming fun, catchy, quality songs based solely on scripture. Every single song teaches a specific Bible passage. They're judiciously chosen verses, too, meant to teach great truths, mold good behavior, and open the door to conversations about the gospel. And here's a bonus: if you're a grown-up who has trouble memorizing scripture, a few listens to these songs will be an extraordinary help.
Volume 2 picks up right where the Dove Award-nominated Volume 1 left off. The inimitable Ron Block returns with his inimitable banjo. The monsters from Volume 1's "Deuteronomy 6:5" are also back (just imagine the Count saying, "Seriously, vaht is 'covet'? I vant to stop doing it!"). Along the way, though, Volume 2 expands the musical palette of its predecessor. Nickie Conley guests (to tremendous effect), and the versatile Goodgame explores even more musical styles to keep children (and their parents) engaged. The results include Ten Commandments that sound like one part Paul Simon's "Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover" and one part Muppets, a pop-dance take on the go-to verse of parents everywhere (Philippians 2:14-16), and an Oompah Polka with the Society of Extraordinary Raccoon Society.
A song called "Raisins" fills the role of last album's "Alien" as the song that causes you to memorize a verse you never thought you'd learn in a million years. This time, it's Song of Solomon 2:5: "Stregthen me with raisins," interpreted by Goodgame as a full-on gospel jam and this reverse-psychology admonition: "I don't mean the metaphorical raisins of friendship and good fortune, but real, actual raisins! Small! Wrinkled! Purple! Sticky-sweet!"
The silly song is another example of a tenet by which Goodgame seems to write: every phrase, instrument, and background vocal is intentional. It's clear that this is a songwriter who treasures these verses, and similarly esteems his audience, young and old. He grants both respect, evident in the way he adds a gospel message to the Ten Commandments or his inclusion of the verses after Philippians 2:14. It's not just about kids being told not to argue or complain; it's also about kids shining like stars in the sky as they hold firmly to the Word of life. And, fortunately, that respect for both source and audience is coupled with a wonderful Nashvillian supporting cast, rich musical quality, and bright imagination. Goodgame could continue this series for a dozen more volumes and we'd all be richer for it.
