Winnie The Pooh

Hi, I’m going to talk about one of the most horrible characters in history, for the kids, maybe is friendly, with good friends, smiling or cute, but, if you examine it well, it is not what you think.

And this character is Winnie Pooh

 The grouch character of this cartoon is a rabbit, the name of this rabbit is "rabbit", but if you think it through, is the only sane character, he has a house, where he lives "lonely", with a mole, the mole is just a thief, a waste for the society, a gay pig, a tiger with problems of addiction, an emo donkey, and the leader of these backwards is winnie pooh, the blonde bear with severe mental problems.

Now, imagine that you´re the poor rabbit, and you live with animals with mental problems.

If you examine good this cartoon you can see that only sane character in this cartoon is the rabbit :D

Which is your favorite Horror Monster?

In an attempt to expand the scope of horror stories, from the minds of the authors emerged the mosnters, creatures that reflect our greatest fears and simultaneously arouse our fascination. On this space we will share wich are the monsters that caused the greatest impact on us.

This is Daniel Castro again, I´d like to share that definetely my favorite monster is Godzilla, the japanese giant dinosaur. I watched plenty of movies about it when I was a child, and back then I liked it because he was giant and was able to throw fire from his mouth.

Godzilla The Hero

 I also liked the fact that its role wasn´t totally defined, on some films it stars as an enemy and in other ones he is the hero. However it is always a misunderstood being that sometime shows some kind of intelligence.

Godzilla The Villain

Now I see godzilla as a symbol of the fear of men towards what they dont understand.

 

This is Oliver once again, and my favorite monster is “Freddy Krueger”, the antagonist of A Nightmare on Elm Street film series, I like it because was the most terrifying creature I have ever seen in a horror movie, and is the most awesome monster.

I like the story the creator made off him, and I like the way he looks, it makes kids feel scare when they saw him in movies, and his song, they dream with that song every time they see the movie.
                  

Hello! Here Judith again, now I want to talk about Medusa, my favorite monster.

Medusa is a character from Greek mythology. She has a face of a woman and living poisonous snakes instead of hair. If somebody see her eyes, instantly is made stone.

Usually, in most versions of the story, the hero Perseus is sent by Athena to kill her.

In order to kill her he uses his shield-mirror on her, and he beheaded her after.

Perseo give the head of Medusa to Athena, and since then, Medusas head was the image of Athena’s army for terrifying the enemy.

Slenderman

Hi, on this ocassion we´ll talk about a dark character that on recent times has conquired the web, it is the Slenderman.

It is a montser proper of Germanic folklore, supposedly it has been seen from centuries, hiding in the forest and kidnaping little children with evil purposes.

It is described most of the times as tall and slim (obviusly), wearing a black suit, with no appreciable facial features, and even with some kind of tentacles.

 It has become an authentic internet phenomenom, appearing a great quantity of fanarts and photos of so-called sightings.

The slenderman showing himself on a fire

Although this is certainly an invention of the internet users I find it fascinating, I think it explodes our fear of the dark and what hides on it.

On the last weeks has been released Slender: The Game, wich has driven crazy to all the comunity of fans. Honestly I do not dare to play it, but if you are interested here I attach the download link:

Slender: The Game

I´m not responsible for possible traums or frustated dreams if you decide to download it.

Doppelganger

Doppelganger

I want to talk about Doppelganger this time.
Well, the word "Doppelganger" means double walking, is the shadow that steal the personality of every person.
The first affair of a Doppelganger was the case of Martín Guerre in 1556, he dissapeared after being accused of stealing.
A man showed up after and was completely equal, scars, tooth, the memories, everything, this man lived three years more with his family and had two daughters.
Because of familiar problems it was discovered that this man wasn't Martín Guerre and  the true Martín Guerre came back after.
And then they hung the faker in the house of the real Martín Guerre.

  Another case is of Emilie Sagée.

Emilie was a school teacher. The story happened in the century XIX.
The superiors were really pleased with the work of Emilie, but among the students began to appear rumors of Emilie, about she was sometimes seen in two places at once.
There are two known instances in which it was captured twice Emilie clearly.
The first time was when Emilie wrote on the board, there were approximately about 20 students in the classroom, when she appeared twice simulating writting as Emilie, just that she had no chalk in hand.
Another case was when Emilie was in the garden, she lift to collect flowers and Emilie appeared twice in the chair, looking around, that was when several students approached and touched twice, twice continuously disappeared.
It is said that she was also seen eating twice, just that one of them them did not have anything in their hands.
Emilie was fired because the students began to leave school.
It is said that after being fired, that Emilie was heard complaining that she was fired for another colleges.

Hi guys, I’m Oliver Omar and I’m going to talk about not only my favorite movie, I will talk about Saw2 one movie of the franchise of “Saw”. It was produced by Twisted Pictures, and distributed by Lions Gate Entertainment, this time John Kramer, also called the “Jigsaw Killer” or only “Jigsaw”, do another game, but this time is about surviving, because all the people inside that place are infected with a disease and they have to find the cures, but they die trying to find the cures.

I really recommend this movie and the franchise too, why not? , is the most awesome movie of Horror that  has ever existed.

Hi, I am Jose Daniel, and I´ll start by saying that by favorite scary movie is "Halloween". It narrates the story of Michael Myers, a sociopath who has escaped from the psychiatric hospital and stalks a group of teenagers to kill them.
 

This is you after watching the movie

Throughout the film you can really feel the rush and the adrenaline of being chased and the desperation of dealing with an enemy with whom you cannot reason or negociate, joint with the most memorable music in history of horror cinema, it creates a great athmosphere of authentic of fear and suspense.

Despite the subsequent movies aren´t even comparabale with the first one, I would recommend

 the entire saga.

If you want to know more about the film, you can go here:

IMDB Halloween

Hello ! I'm Judith López and I want talk about a movie, this movie is not exactly of terror, but i liked it. All begins, on the birthday of Walter [The protagonist, interpreted by Jim Carrey], he came late for an appointment with his wife [Agatha, interpreted by Virginia Madsen]. While he was not there, she saw a book, the name of the book is The number 23, and she bought this book for Walter's birthday.

Hi I m Oscar and my favorite horror movie is "It" written by Stephen King.It is about a murderer that primarily shaped as a clown and can take different forms to kill a group of children. Features actors Tim Curry, Seth Green, Harry Anderson and others.  
 

Stephen King

When we talk about literature of horror or fear, one of the most important characters in modern age, is Stephen King, author of contemporary horror, suspense, science fiction and fantasy.

His books have sold more than 350 million copies, Sthephen has published 50 novels and nine short stories.

He has  written many famous novels like "It"; when I was 4 years old, and I saw "It" maybe i didn´t sleep good for one or two weeks.

One year ago, a friend gave me as birthday gift the book "It", it was a total mistake to read it, when people say, "the book is better than the movie", it´s not a joke, is serious, if you don´t want sleep, this books are your answer.

Another good book in my opinion is "Carrie", is a girl like a matilda, but evil and bizarre.

I read synopsis of books of stephen and search in internet a top.

1.- The Dark Elf

2.- The Shining

3.- The Stand

4.- IT

5.- Pet Sematary

6.- Cujo

7.- Misery

Edgar Allan Poe

     

When talking about horror literature, the author fo excellence is the American Edgar Allan Poe, widely recognized for suspense and mystery stories like The Black Cat, The Fall of The House Of Usher, The Raven, and countless others.
As a pioneer on the short tale style, it´s easy for the inexperienced readers to start with his some of his productions before deepen into more complexes stories.



One of the most brilliant and eccentric characters in the history of literature, raised by his foster parents since an early age, left the school and got a huge debt at gambling, he even got married to his little cousin, he started writing for small papers and slowly catch the interest of his contemporary.
 

Virgina Clemm: She was only 13 while Poe was 26 when they got married

Now we can find most of his oeuvre in collection books like Poems, Tarmelane And Other Poems, The Raven And Other Poems, Tales, Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque, and some others.

Here you can find some of his entire pieces:
Books 

And finally here you can enjoy the audiobook of  my favorite "Poe poem": The Raven
