Monstrous Monday - Mound-Walkers

Here we go…

Blogfest; bloghops galore!

I was going around reading all the Spooktoberfest entries and I think 85% of them had Tim Brannan’s Monstrous Monday Blogfest all over ‘em.



So I did the only thing a good blogger would do – I hopped on over to see what all the fuss was all about.

I’m so glad I did. Lately during [Jackie and my] Express Yourself meme we have been sticking with the Halloween theme and doing a lot of Monster or scary leitmotif ideas. Once Monstrous Blogfest jumped out at me I just had to part-take in it myself.

I can’t resist a good Monster romp!

The rules are simple:
1. Sign up.
2. Grab one of his buttons from his sites.
3. Post your Monster of choice today, Monday October 29th 2012!
That’s it.

Some of my faves and by faves – and I use that term loosely – I mean they scare me but I love them ‘cause they scare me.

Zombies
Insidious’ Red-faced Demon
Its' Pennywise
30 Days of Nights' Vamps
Jeepers Creepers' Creature

However the Monsters I want to highlight in today’s Blogfest are…


Mound-Walkers from the movie My New Daughter starring Kevin Costner. Based on the short story of the same name by John Connolly, it tells the story of a novelist and his two children who encounter a malevolent presence when they move to a house in the country adjacent to a burial mound.

This movie freaked me out! Let me repeat… IT. FREAKED. ME. THE. FREAK. OUT! This movie is a MUST WATCH!! Mound-Walkers make my skin crawl and my stomach wanna regurgitate it’s lunch.

Don't forget - Spooktoberfest Winners will be announced this Wednesday the 31st so come back then!

And then Nov. 1st Jackie and I will be posting the November Express Yourself Meme Banner!

Have a great Monday!

    Those monsters look like their faces are covered in blood! I must've inherited my dad's gene for horror movie love. My mother has always looked away or covered her eyes at the really good scenes.

    I don't know this one either, but I'd be cautiously optimistic about it. 'Mound-walker' is a great name - simple but very suggestive.
