A Proper List of Scary Movies

-

I love scary movies but I hate those scary movies list that come out. Most times I read through them I feel like they only pick the top rated movies and throw in a few classics they've seen. Sometimes even the "critically" acclaimed movies are crap and the only reason they were so popular is because they had a bigger budget or were able to secure a more popular cast; throw in a few jump scares and you have a blockbuster title. 

One thing I will not discount is the fact that most of these lists are comprised by the person's preferences. Someone might watch Oculus and think it's a terrible movie while others might think it's the scariest thing they have ever seen, so I won't say that my list is the end all be all but I will say that I have seen all of these movies and I can guarantee that there are more than a few on this list that I think you will like. 

The reason I picked these 75 movies is because each one of them left me feeling uneasy after watching and I think that is the hallmark of a good scary movie. Each one of these movies has some element or horror, gore, or thrill that will leave you unsettled or make you feel uneasy having watched something so senselessly gruesome, case in point: House of 1,000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects. 

Rob Zombie is a great musician and I love his music, so when I heard he was directing a film naturally I was curious. Both films deliver terrifyingly, senseless gore and violence, but what makes the movie truly terrifying is understanding the monsters in this movie are just people. There is not supernatural reason for what is happening, but rather it's happening because the people want it to. When you accept that fact and you know there are people out there like Ted Bundy and other serial killers, you're left feeling uneasy about what you just watched. Both movies, in my humble opinion, are instant classic horror films that come straight at you with the sheer horrific nature that some human beings can possess. 

It's not a flashy list. No slide shows or links. Just letters on a page you can copy and paste into a search bar. Most are easily found on Netflix or Hulu.

Here's Are Some Thing I've Learned From Growing My Cannabis Plant

-

Growing my plant turned out to be a complete waste of time. The whole appeal of DIY growing was not having to spend money on bud. From what I understand, a plant can yield about a pound of marijuana which would have lasted me at least 6 months, however, my plant turned out to be a male which is basically useless.  I know, I know...what do you mean useless? Well, male plants aren't the ones we smoke; it's the female plants that produce the potent sticky icky bud we all love.  Yes, I'm disappointed that my own grow was a bust, however, I figured I could at least share the things I learned along the way.  Male Plants versus Female Plants If you happen to come across a seed, or two, there's no way to tell whether or not a plant is male or female until it starts to grown, so my first tip is that if you only have the one seed, pray...pray real hard or skip planting all together because if you do end up with a male plant, it's more of a hassle than it's worth.  Serious

I'm tired of people telling me what I need to do, but not willing to help me do it.

I'm tired of people telling me what I need to do, but not willing to help me do it.  I live in, literally, the middle of God's green no where right now and I don't have a car.  Each time I've saved up money to get myself a car something happens.  For instance, I was up about $5k when the pandemic happened and I was just about to pull the trigger on getting a car, but at the time people were getting laid off and business was slowing down.  I figured it would be mighty stupid of me to take on this rather large financial obligation knowing that there's a chance I could be laid off.  Sure as shit, a month later, I was laid off. I wasn't at any great loss for not having a car at the time because I was living in NC and could walk, bike, or Uber/Lyft wherever I needed to go.  It sucked not having a car and having to walk places, but I swallowed my pride and did what I needed to do to make it.  Here, I can't walk anywhere. I can't Uber anywhere, so me getting a

Update for my Loyalists

I feel bad that I didn't do a podcast episode last week and feel bad that I don't feel like doing one this week. To be honest, every time I skip a podcast episode I left myself down more than anyone, but I think right now I'm going to put them on hold until I find another job, or get some money. It's hard to keep motivated when I'm stressing about money and trying to find a job. I wish I had the support and freedom to just focus on making my media company a success, but when you don't have money to eat it takes away from your focus.  I'm not sleeping well at night because my problems keep me up. Sometimes I'll stay up until I literally pass out and I know that's not good. I know that it's a sign that I'm depressed. I try to wake up every day and pretend everything is alright and I'm alright, but I'm not.  Everyday it's a struggle to keep my wits about me. I woke up one morning recently, went out side, found a huge stick, and slamm
