if your a horror fan (especially on in your mid to late 30s)and you wonder why... here's the answer.
as i sat here watching american nightmare, i nodded and nodded as i remembered my childhood and the constant nightmares and fear of the end of the world, death, and the catholic theories of a fire and brimstone afterlife. the constant threat of atomic wars, hidden under our schoolchairs as we had air-raid drills. even when it was vacation time at school, the automatic drills echoed in the background once a month. i lived within walking distance and would often go to the schoolyard during vacation times to play there with others.
the most frightening sound in the world is not the screams of michael myers' victims or the ripping of zombie flesh, but the eerie sound of an air-raid sirien going off in a virtualy empty playground mixed with the squeak of swings, the wind, and the "ting" of the empty flag pole.....
