Happy Friday The 13th

As a guy named Jason, this date was always a pain in the ass growing up. With all the "kill, kill, kill" and "Kill her, Mommy! Kill her!" BS that I would hear in the hallways of school. It doesn't really bother me anymore, I just laugh when people do it now.

And then I kill them in my mind . . . . .

Apopka biz says Universal stole its plans for Halloween attractions

An Apopka entertainment-design company said Tuesday that it has sued Universal Orlando, its parent company and two movie studios, accusing them of stealing its concept for Halloween-themed attractions based on a trio of iconic horror movie characters.

In its 26-page complaint, ICC Design Inc. accuses Universal, NBC Universal, New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. of taking plans it had developed for theme-park attractions built around the characters Jason, Freddy Krueger and Leatherface and using them instead for the 2007 edition of "Halloween Horror Nights" at Universal's parks in Orlando and California.

ICC said it first approached New Line in February 2005 about plans to license the three characters for new theme-park attractions. It said it spent more than a year working on the concept with New Line and that the discussions ultimately broadened to include Universal executives, as well.

But it said those talks abruptly ended in November 2006 -- only a few months before New Line and Universal announced a deal to feature the three characters in Halloween Horror Nights.

"Through outright fraud, deception, misrepresentation and 'back-door' dealings, entertainment industry giants New Line Cinema, Universal Orlando and NBC misappropriated ICC's confidential and proprietary business proposal and used such to reap staggering profits," lawyers for ICC wrote in the 26-page lawsuit.

Universal dismissed the allegations.

"We consider this groundless, without merit, and we're going to vigorously defend our position," spokesman Tom Schroder said.

I Got Old Eyes!

So, I am official getting old, I have old eyes. I got my first pair of reading/computer glasses this week. I like em, they’re kind of “nerd sheik” or maybe “Rivers Cuomo” cool? I wish they were for all the time so I could wear them out, but they don’t work very well for far away or for driving.

Against the advice of locals and police

Against the advice of locals and police, Clay scours the eerie woods surrounding Crystal Lake for his missing sister. But the rotting cabins of an abandoned summer camp are not the only things he finds. Hockey-masked killer Jason Voorhees lies in wait for a chance to use his razor-sharp machete on Clay and the group of college students who have come to the forest to party.

Doesn’t get much simpler than that, I can’t wait till tonight. We’re off to the Silver Moon Drive-In to see a double feature of Gran Torino and Friday the 13th, and for only four bucks each person!

"Did you know a young boy drowned here?"

I'm pretty excited to see this.

A Resolution

I don't usually make resolutions, but I came up with a few "do-able" resolutions. My favorite and the one I wanted to share is . . .

Listen to a different whole album~CD, watch a movie, or read for fun everyday.

So far, so good. It's basically so I don't allow myself to watch crap programs on TV.

La Familia, Homies, and Associates

Every Christmas we make a ton of candy to give to our friends and family. We make small bags for our peeps at work, and platters for our families. We always make Toffee, chocolate pretzels, and the candy molds. This is the first year for peanut brittle and peppermint bark. We also made a batch of fudge (not pictured) but that’s only for us and La Familia. I'll post the recipes later, I need to go to bed. Only two days of work and then we're off for five days!!!

Horror Novels, Who Would Have Thought?

I followed a link to this book and found a whole world of other popular horror movie novels. Who would have thought there were so many different titles based on movies?










Man, so many books - so little time. I'd like to get my hands on that Trick r' Treat book.
