It’s that time of the year again, where horror films publicly display their haunting advertisements on national television. I am a scaredy cat, afraid of the dark and a prime victim for the boogie man.
After a thirty second commercial break of Downey Fabric Softener, a gruesome image of a devilish creature appeared without warning. It's peeling face looked as though napalm had burned to the bone then dragged face down by a chariot...twice. What happened to the fluffy teddy bear rummaging in the warm sheets? Strobing images of Satan’s childhood flashes on the TV; an eyeball hung from the socket of a tumor stricken face, bloody hands tightly gripped onto a machete and a possessed child blankly stared with no soul.
Maria full of Grace, Jesus-Mary-Joseph! Show me blood, witches, goblins and ghouls but dare to show me an image of a child who has Lucifer running through its veins. Oh, hell no. I scrambled for the remote in dire need to change the channel but once again Time Warner’s second hand equipment had failed me. Buttons are stuck! I pressed harder, swayed it towards heaven and hell to catch receiver signal but unfortunately these efforts would have benefitted more at Wii Tennis. I yelled “la la la la la” to muffle the audio but it was too late- bloodcurdling images are now burned into my memory.
I see dead people.
