Entry #10: The Morphing Of Horror Movies

     If you are a horror movie lover like me, you might have noticed how horror movies have morphed throughout the years. As years pass, the topics often morph with the time and evolve using new technologies. Time is the reason that practical effects that you may have seen in Friday The 13th, seem outdated compared to the new effects of today. While time can definitely make some movies cheesy and outdated, time can almost make a movie better. This is extremely true wand evident in horror flicks and distinguishes a classic. 

    Take Psycho for example. The movie was iconic for the time it was created in because of its use of camera shots and combination of recognizable music. With this description, you probably thought of the shower scene where the killer kills one of his female visitors. Age has made this movie even more amazing because it led to a cult following. The movie also changed the industry with showing how scary ordinary people can be.

    The cult following that horror movies gain throughout the passing in time is truly amazing. When you think of a movie with a cult following, what do you think of? Personally, the three horror movies I think about the most are Friday The 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Saw. These are some of the most profitable horror movies of all time with easily recognizable characters that can easily be branded. Time has only led to more and more recognizable moments from these movies. In summary, the horror genre only gets better with age as movie norms continue to grow.

    Hi Sarah,
    I am a huge fan of horror movies!! There have been changes made towards the filmmaking and with the use of technology being involved. Friday the 13th is iconic and overall my favorite movie. Personally, I feel as if Horror movies over timed changed, and now a lot of them are predictable and not scary. Whereas back then nobody knew anything and was surprised which I feel as made the movie amazing. Good job Sarah!

    I absolutely love horror movies! My favorite movie series would have to be the Saw series. Have you seen them? If not than I highly recommend them. Only if you like a lot of gore though.

Entry #8: Let Me Give You Some Advice...

     Losing weight is usually seen as a moment of celebration. It's incredibly challenging and when you see before and afters of those who do lose weight, it seems as though everything gets better for them.

Entry #7: Is Food Fresh?

     Food. It's something everyone is familiar with. Ever since you were a child food was a big portion of your life. Whether you had basketball practice that ran late and you had McDonalds for dinner or at Thanksgiving, food is a central point in every person's life. It can be used as motivation to work hard or it could be used to be destructive. But do we really think about where our food comes from? I am guilty of just grabbing the first bunch of chicken breasts I see when I walk by the poultry without doing any research on the farm it came from. After watching the film Fresh, I have now been encouraged to rethink that habit. The content in the film Fresh were both shocking and optimistic. In the film, I heard about many practices that were brutal and scary such as feeding cows their own dead species to fatten them up. This also applied to the eating habits of chicken too and how farmers would often cover these carcases with enough sugar to get the animals to eat ...
