Michael's Musings

Could It Be Satan? Close It's -
Michael Shinafelt 

"I'm off the deep end, Watch as I dive in, I'll never meet the ground
Crash through the surface" - "Shallow" Lady Gaga 

This is the song that has been giving me life of late. The above lyrics taken from it is my mantra. I've met the ground before and it's never gonnna happen again, 

Only 13 more days until Halloween, disciples!

Do something that truly scares you this month. Call it perfect timing.

A shout out to my friend Toni Trucks on the success of season two of Seal Team on CBS

Workout selfies are hot

While I am not invested in American Horror Story anymore, I am enjoying the WTF aspect of the current season - Apocalypse 

Kristen Bell & Dax Shepard - Love will keep them together 

That time when someone asked me to spot them $2 at McDonald's and I stated: I have money, but I'm not giving you any - empowering

Why did a Lesbian at the Ralph's confuse my order for two fried chicken legs, with two friend chicken breasts???

Lady Gaga is engaged and the ring cost 400 k - You go! 

Guess what I'm wearing right now, and it isn't appropriate for public viewing (yet it should be)

Constance Langdon

Constance Langdon, Constance Langdon, Constance Langdon 

The new Halloween opens this Friday, ghosts, ghouls & fiends!

Why would you dye your hair hot pink in my bathroom? 

Take it to another level of emotion

M.E. Franco Is Horrifying!

The Night SHE Came Home!
M.E. Franco

Here is comes again, ya know, Halloween - which means it's time for me to have my Holiday chat about the most hallowed time of the year with fellow horror enthusiast and author of the supernatural "Dion" book series M.E. Franco!

Much like Norman Bates' Mother, M.E. is off her rocker...just the way we like her!

MS: If you were a serial killer, which serial killer would you be and why? (this can be fictional or non-fictional)

ME: Dexter, hands down.

I'm Number 2!

MS: Who would you cast in films as the male leads in your Dion series of books?

ME: That's a tough one. When I write, I have a character so completely formed in my head, it's hard to pick someone else to play them.

MS: Are you watching American Horror Story: Apocalypse? If so gimme your thoughts?

ME: I haven't watched the last few seasons, but from what I've heard, I may binge watch this season. Sounds like it might be worth checking out.

What's Angry, Horny & Red All Over?
Satan!

MS: OK, Satan offers you the chance to sell your soul for everything you have ever dreamed about. But there is a catch (you know Satan) you offer a sacrifice of something living. What, or who would that be?

ME: Does it have to be someone I like? I'd happily offer him the neighbor lady behind me. She's a hag, and she's mean to her pets. I'd happily "This is Sparta" kick her into the pit.

I'm Your Boogeyman!
Jamie Lee Curtis & Michael Myers

MS: Excited for the Halloween movie? (I am!)

ME: YEEEEEEESSSSS!! I can't wait!

MS: What's most scary to you being locked in a cell with Hannibal Lecter, or having dinner with Donald Trump?

ME: Better to eat dinner than be dinner.

Let's Have A Kiki
Jason Vorhees

MS: If you click your heels together three times and say Jason Vorhees, Jason Vorhees, Jason Vorhees what happens?

ME: Suddenly, no one wants to go camping with you anymore. Whatever.

MS: Ever encountered a Werebeaver?

ME: You just made me laugh so hard. Thankfully, no. No zombeavers either. LOL

"A Naked American Man Stole My Balloons"
David Naughton (looking good)
In
"An American Werewolf in London"

MS: Did you ever fantasize after seeing An American Werewolf in London that David Naughton in Werewolf form would come in at you for the kill and then all of the sudden revert back to his human form and be standing naked in front of you?

ME: Enough times that I think he probably could have gotten a restraining order.

MS: What's the scariest thing that has ever happened to you?

ME: I almost got abducted in the 4th grade. I was walking home from my friend's house, when a man pulled up next to me in a white car. He said my parents had been in a car accident, and he'd been sent to pick me up. Thankfully, I had just turned down my street, so I could see that both of my parents' cars were in front of our house. When I told him that, he took off. It wasn't until after he left, that I realized what he was doing., so I ran home and told my mom. That scared the crap out of me for a long time.

MS: Treats are so overrated. Name a favorite tricks you have played on someone.

ME: We took my grandmother and great-aunt on a tour of Alcatraz at their request. At one point during the tour, they put our group in a solitary confinement cell and closed the door, so we could see how dark it was. I took the chance to grab my great aunt in the butt with much gusto to freak her out. Unfortunately, in mid grab, I saw the flash of a camera. I'm sure some poor family got quite a surprise when they got their vacation photos developed.

"You Poor Unfortunate Soul"
Ursula

MS: What Disney villainess would you most like to be?

ME: I love the ocean, so I want to say Ursula, but damn she's mean!

MS: Finally what do you want on your Tombstone (I am not talking about the frozen pizza)?

ME: "She always made us laugh."

Laugh with M.E. @ -

Freaky Friday

Stu Anyone?
Joan Collins

Wednesday was the debut of Season 8 of American Horror Story: Apocalypse - and like most shows the premiere episode was meh. Premiere episodes are always establishing ones thus they are always somewhat lackluster, that's just the way it goes. I am giving the season a few more views to see if I will continue watching. 

This being stated who would have ever thunk an icon from my youth would be eating a stew with Stu as the main ingredient?! 

"Yes" this Freaky Friday is dedicated to the great Joan Collins who portrayed Alexis Colby-Carrington on the nighttime soap Dynasty when I was a tadpole. Never in my wildest imagination would I have thought at 85 years young she would turn up on the hit horror anthology as Evie Gallant who knowingly cannibalizes the first casualty of the fallout shelter post apocalypse, a gentleman named Stu, who is now, well stew.

Joan plays her role with sly humor and aplomb. That was to me the weirdest thing about the premiere episode, it played more like a demented dark comedy than anything that would actually get under my skin and disturb me.

Hats off to you Joan Collins, you've still got it, you cannibal freak!
