The first part of this is off, now the music volume is off. Thankfully it doesn't last long.

OK first off I have a call for help in identifying a movie that creeped into my head this morning. Its a cgi movie about a cop looking into murders and finding them being done by a creature he had fought and thought dead. turns out the chief has kept it sealed up. The creature is a deep red squid creature capable of moving through as easily as water, usually flying. Its going to be fun trying to remember its name

Next up is talking about the Wenatchee, WA haunted theater "Scream World". Anyone who knows me knows that getting in front of people isn't something I'm exactly fond of, so finding myself as a monster that everyone can see and no where for me to hide is quite a leap for me. Now granted the monsters I've done (twice as a Scarecrow and once a Mutant) I have basically sold by being the one your not sure about. I've had several people not know if I was a real person or not.

This plays up very nicely with a old trick I've had that I don't even have to try to do. I usually breathe very shallowly and so unless you really look sometimes you can't tell if I'm breathing at all. Now factor in poor or discolored lighting and that makes it even harder. As a Scarecrow I had an advantage as I had a burlap sack over my head so I had facial freedom. I didn't have that as a Mutant, that was quite a good feeling when someone would look at me and then have it dawn on them that yes I am alive.

I find I have been bitten by the same bug my sister was, I love being in front of people in this way. I would do this forever if I could. I doubt my time with the Mission Creek Players, ie the group who run Scream World, will stop when it does. I'll be hooked on it, and hopefully I'll be able to continue it without many problems.

I have had one silly moment. at the end of the night the crew come out and to the Time Warp. We could only do one this last time due to weather, and I of course made an idiot out of myself. The problem was as a mutant they had me in a jumpsuit about an inch to small all around so movement was a bit of a hassle. Still I knew the song by heart and was anxious to try it. I got to part four, pulling my knees in when my body caught on and hit the stop button by my knee popping. Down I went like a sack of potatoes but I was laughing about it and still had a great time. If that, which before would've killed it for good can't do the job I don't know what would.

Last up is talking about the relationship between Heroes and Villains, specifically the ones where they come to mutually respect each other in a way that see both in their own ways trying to relish in the conflict. A good example is the meeting between Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarity in Jeremy Brett's Holmes episode "The Final Problem". In that both, begrudgingly, admit some form of respect for one another, though also acknowledging they know only one can survive.

Another is Spider Man and Doctor Octopus. Dr. Octopus at one point discovered Spider Man to be dying of cancer and instead of rejoicing it occurs to him that Spider Man is who keeps him going. After explaining to Spider Man that he has to trust him or resign himself to the fate of dying, he eventually cures him. As the police come to take him away he happily says that now he knows his rival will be there for him that he can handle anything.

The final one is from the movie The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu. In the movie Fu Manchu is forced to gather the ingredients of a new Elixir Vitae, after A familiar henchman spills his remaining supply. Though his nemesis Nayland Smith tries to stop him Fu Manchu ultimately is successful and the climax has a young Fu Manchu bringing Nayland to his laboratory. Instead of killing him though, Fu Manchu admits that Nayland has made things worth while, offering him the remaining Elixir so they can continue their game. I play the clip where they talk from the movie, one of my favorite moments in movies.

Thats it until next week.
