Re-Watching Paranormal Activity 3 (2011)! I'm a firm believer that all invisible friends have sinister intent. If they were honorable, why would they be invisible? If they were honorable & invisible, why only let children be their friends? I'm a grown up, I'd like to have an invisible friend!

Re-Watching Paranormal Activity 2 (2010)! People would be excited about installing a security system that would protect them against ghosts or let them know when ghosts are lurking about! Of course, they could just install broken security systems that go off on their own & claim it's ghosts.

It's #wordsearchwednesday The Craft (1996) I have nothing against witches, but I do have a problem with teenage witches. No teenager should have powers that they can use on a whim! www.minstrelofhorror.com #Horrorfam #puzzle #wordsearch #witch #spell #magic #coven #teen #power #curse

Re-Watching Paranormal Activity (2007)! I would certainly hope that a ghost would do something spectacular if I spent my day rewatching 8-hours of my wife & I sleeping. A door closing or a sheet moving isn't enough! I don't even rewatch birthdays or kid's sporting events! Go big or get out ghosts!

A ghost brides stuck wearing veils for eternity or is it their choice? I would think that spending eternity with a semi-obstructed view would be terrible! Of course, every living person you haunt would be curious to see what you looked like under the veil so they'd come in close!

Re-Watching Ozark Sharks (2016)! People should either be flattered that a shark crashes their river festival, or should not make it such a must see festival that even beasts in nature want to be a part of it! I'm sure sharks wouldn't want to go if it were not so hyped! Who'd go to a ho-hum event!

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Just Watched Hell of the Living Dead (1980)! I am afraid that most of the world would not be concerned about flesh eating zombies as long as they stay in the boonies. Like all deadly issues in the world, people are only concerned when the problems affect them! "No one's eaten my brain so I'm good'!

Re-Watching Scooby Doo! Camp Scare! I'm pretty sure that I'd rather have gone to a Haunted Summer Camp, rather than one in the stomping grounds of a mass murderer. It seems safer...although...a camp haunted by multiple spirits is another story! At least you'll hear multiple campfire tales!

Re-Watching The Priests Exorcism (2015)! The fact that an exorcist would have to attempt to determine whether a human or demon destroyed a young girl's life tells you all you need to know about humanity. Demons are evil, but there are humans that could put them to shame!

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Some cultists might find it concerning to know if their spiritual leader has recently bought stock in a candle company, a week before their sacrificial ritual! Of course, they would buy any excuse the leader provides, due to the 'no thinking for yourself' clause in their Cult's pledge they signed!

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Re-Watching Zombeavers (2014)! It's amazing how many people think that wild animals are not dangerous. They seem to believe that as long as they are not lions, tigers or bears it means they're just like kittens or puppies! The fact is they hate us, & they don't need to be zombies to attack!

010

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Re-Watching Cat's Eye (1985)! I have a feeling anyone following a cat to see what it does during the day will catch it taking lots of naps, willfully knocking things off shelves, picking fights with other animals, & have plenty of scratches on their persons for their efforts.

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I don't care what people are fleeing in terror from, who they are or how old they are, there are some unspoken rules about fleeing in terror. The slow folks need to move to the sides! If they are in the middle of the field, road, or path they will get trampled...and not get an apology!

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Re-Watching Event Horizon (1997)! I would never want to be on the top ranked rescue squad! I would not want to go into a rescue knowing that if everything goes wrong, the only people they could send to rescue my team would be worse than the team I'm a part of! I want the best to come to my aid!

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Re-Watching Feast III: The Happy Finish (2009)! Why is it that when the going gets tough, people head into the sewers? Us kids growing up in the 80s know better than to dwell in the sewers regardless of how dangerous it is on the surface! Rats, gators, CHUDs, mole people, infection & worse!

130

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Re-Watching Feast II: Sloppy Seconds (2008)! I hate to admit it, but often the group that you are a part of during times of survival, are more dangerous to you and themselves than the creatures that you are trying to avoid! Whether it is ignorance, stupidity or just don't know any better!

160

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Re-Watching Feast (2005)! Even though I would not stand a chance on my own, I would much rather be attacked by savage monsters in my own house. I don't want to trust my survival to a group of strangers...Besides, The few places I go in public would not have people that would accel at survival.

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

It's funny that old mansions have hidden rooms, and people are always surprised when they find them. It's also surprising that they were hidden when the rooms have a unique window that nobody looked for when they go inside the house! It really isn't a hidden room, more like a sealed off room.

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Re-Watching Detention of the Dead (2012)! I'm really starting to wonder if school detention is really punishment for bad behaviors or was the detention I spent in school the only one! We couldn't talk, we had to sit in a room and write essays. No bonding, no understanding of each others cliques!

040

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Re-Watching Ice Spiders (2007)! Walking through a spider web is a creepy feeling normally, but I can't fathom skiing through one! I can imagine trying to remove the web from your face on the hill would lead to many skiing & snowboarding deaths & with giant spiders about, you'd be going pretty fast!

050

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Re-Watching Rogue (2007)! While everyone is lining up to die at the crocodile tours, I often wonder where the tours of the bunny fields are or spend a day watching squirrels chase each other running around, hamsters on wheels or guinea pigs taking naps! Still want those beasts behind glass though!

020

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Re-Watching Flu Birds (2008)! If birds have the flu I would expect sneezing, coughing, a running beak, & throwing up...so it doesn't make sense that they mutate into giant creatures & devour humans. Perhaps that is what Human Flu looks like. Luckily, we catch the common flu that doesn't mutate!

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Re-Watching Son of Dracula (1943)! Some people would be surprised that love would be a vampire's downfall. It's survived hundreds of years and you would think that they would be a better judge of character! Unfortunately, love makes you blind & incredibly stupid...even if your heart doesn't beat!

040

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Re-Watching Carnosaur 3: Primal Species (1996)! Regardless if it is terrorists or common thieves, a dinosaur patrolling a shipping dock would surprise any potential villain! Unfortunately, it would also surprise & devour any workers reporting to the dock as well...at least the goods would be safe!

042

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Re-Watching Carnosaur 2 (1995)! Personally, I'd be less likely to be shocked by dinosaurs exposed to nuclear radiation, than I would be by just running into a dinosaur. At least the radiation would partially explain weird things you would encounter, & you'd expect weird things. Still...Dinosaurs?

000

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Re-Watching Carnosaur (1993)! Some say dinosaurs were more similar to birds than to reptiles, which would actually change the question from 'what came first, the chicken or the egg', to 'what came first the egg or the dinosaur'! I don't know the answer, but I'm now craving a dinosaur omelet!

050

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Dark Carnivals have some amazing souvenirs! Unfortunately, you don't win them by playing rigged games, you simply have to survive the tortured carnies for the night and you'll be able to take any prize home that can find!

020

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Re-Watching Dead Birds (2004)! It would be nice if ghosts could retain their conscience when it comes to hauntings. They could listen in the people and decide if they were worthy of being haunted, haunted and killed, or let be. Of course, after years of being alone, they go straight to haunt/Kill!

041

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Re-Watching It Follows (2014)! Scaring Teenagers into staying celibate is nothing new. The threat of babies, disease, ruining your future, standing in society? It's time ghosts get involved! Always been curious about ghosts & their views on whoopee, although killing folks that had some is telling!

1503

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Re-Watching Ghost of Mars (2001)! If an alien species could possess you & then make your body an expression of their own values, tattoos, piercings, burns, scars & such...You would think they'd try to find a body without those things...then take the body out to show off the blank canvas first!

081

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Not all summer camps result in gory deaths and body counts, some resulted in trauma that would take years to overcome! Nightmares surrounding sports and fashion that no child should ever have to encounter! Let's not forget about those exposed to such horrors!

060

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Re-Watching Razorback (1984)! I can't even imagine how tough you have to be to live in Australia! It's bad enough having to box kangaroos and wrestle crocodiles on the way to work, but the vicious beasts that you fight to get your bacon would be too much us here in the states!

2132

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Re-Watching FearDotCom (2002)! A haunted website sound pretty unique, but in some ways certain websites act like they are haunted....you visit once and that is enough to get thousands of messages a month. You are constantly redirected back to it, & you can't block or delete it from history!

030

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Re-Watching Escape Room: Tournament of Champions (2021)! If people knew that there was a small percentage of the population that loved the idea of escape rooms that you could actually die in...there would suddenly be a large influx of cheapo deadly rooms...although their budgets would not be big!

020

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Just Watched The Sixth Sense (1999)! A child psychiatrist tries to help a young boy who suffers from the same set of issues a previous patient of his had that he misdiagnosed. The claims that he sees ghosts & that they are around all the time. Will he be able to help the boy face these spirits?

160

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Re-Watching Escape Room (2019)! Puzzle rooms are a place for groups to go. How many people would take an invite if they were not going to know anybody they were participating with? I suppose a few would if there was a cash prize...but they should get specifics on what happens if they don't get out!

040

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Re-Watching Devil's Den (2006)! People are always concerned about the truckers, travelers and miscreants that lose their live at strip clubs in the boonies, but never seemed concerned about the workers? I find it hard to believe a group of stripper monsters opened it, likely one turned the others!

030

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Re-Watching The Booth (2005)! It would be nice if all the egotistical jerks in the world had their shady pasts come back to haunt them. People would tune in all the time just to see them get taken down a peg or two. Unfortunately, the egotistical would not volunteer, and Ghosts are unreliable!

050

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Perhaps it has to do with genetic engineering, but I never thought of dinosaurs as quiet or sneaky. But for some reason when they are recreated in a lab, sudden nobody hears them coming and are completely taken by surprise! Maybe, we gave them the ability to tip-toe?

1121

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Re-Watching Little Monsters (2019)! When looking at schools for your kids, meet the teachers & then ask yourself if the teacher would be capable of defending your child against a horde of the undead! It may not be needed, but you'd be a little more comfortable when they went on field trips!

020

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Re-Watching Monsterland (2016)! Monsters come in a wide variety...technically, anything not human can be a monster. Basically, when attacked by one, you should break down your description of what attacked you into further details. That way people will know exactly what is coming if they let you in!

040

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Re-Watching King Cobra (1999)! Making a giant aggressive snake is not good enough for modern science! We need to make it a giant snake hybrid with multiple traits from both snakes! It's like we are determined to humanities reign on Earth! It's taking too long for us to end it naturally!

161

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

I would love to go to the watch old movies in a movie theater where they hook up the old gimmicks that came with them...but I would not want murders to be the surprise of the night. I suppose they could, they did advertise a surprise & without questioning it, It could mean a wide range of things!

010

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

Re-Watching Nightbreed (1990)! A city of monsters likely would be a great haven for the old monsters, but soon the young generation would grow tired of the 'world hates us' stories & go out to see the world! That would give us 10-20 years of no monsters! We'd be ill-prepared for their return!

053

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

Re-Watching Waxwork II: Lost in time (1992)! What kind of dimensional traveling device only sends you to places with uncalculatable evil residing in it? Perhaps one designed for heroes only. Even a device build by evil people would want to go to a peace loving place...they're easier to conquer!

040

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

Re-Watching Waxwork (1988)! I don't wish violent monster caused death to anyone, but I would mind if people that crossed display lines would disappear! It's no wonder that people hate tourists nowadays with our inability to simply not touch things! They could just transport to Ohio or somewhere!

1101

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

Nothing like taking a quiet moment at sea to enjoy the sound of the waves, the beauty of the ocean as you try to hide the sigh of relief for not being the one chosen to go swimming in shark infested waters...especially after the sharks eat the ones that were chosen!

020

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

Re-Watching Dance of the Dead (2008)! It's unfortunate that the zombie apocalypse occurs on prom night, but wouldn't necessarily mean that it would cancel the dance...it would all depend on how much notice you had, if you could lock the place up first, you could do prom, then fight the undead!

150

The Minstrel of Horror @minstrelofhorror.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Just Watched The Leprechaun's Curse (2021)! A woman inherits a manor house and takes her Mom, her boyfriend and a couple friends to check it out! After finding some gold coins, she learns she also inherited a vicious leprechaun that is obsessed with keeping its gold!

It's #Sonnetsunday + #Limerick too! Tidal wave hits & it floods a whole town, Grocery store shoppers lucky they don't drown, Great white shark hunts folks in the aisles, To survive they must use their wiles, How will the manage to take the shark down? #Horror #horrorfam #sonnet #shark #greatwhite
