Having reblogged yesterday that cute little story about the "Evil" Hallmark Movie Boyfriends meeting in an airport lounge on their way back to the big city, sympathizing with each other's plights, and slowly falling in love, I wanted to share another thought that I had when I initially saw that post and collidedscope pointed out that the "Evil" Boyfriends often end up being surprisingly polite and respectful and kind, despite having their lives and relationships completely upended right before Christmas by a woman who, to them, has apparently done some sort of complete personality flip-flop:

"...you know, you could probably make a good horror movie out of that."

Yeah, we all agree that this could make a pretty good (if perhaps somewhat goofy) horror movie, correct? Something to do with mind control, or maybe complete replacement of the person a la Invasion Of The Bodysnatchers? I haven't watched enough terrible Hallmark movies to actually write anything like it myself, but here's how I think things should go, at least initially:

->Evil Boyfriend tells Girlfriend that unfortunately he cannot immediately drop everything to go with her to Rural Hometown -- he wishes he could, but there is a very important project he needs to get done, and if he wants to spend the actual holiday with her, he's gotta put in the time now; Girlfriend is like "yeah I get it, but my parents really want to see me -- I'll go there now and you can catch up later," which Evil Boyfriend is fine with

->Evil Boyfriend then, after a few days, gets wind of the fact that Girlfriend has decided to just stay in Rural Hometown, like, forever -- as per the linked post, he is like "that is alarming behavior" and goes off after her because he is concerned.

->Evil Boyfriend arrives in Rural Hometown and meets up with Girlfriend, who informs him that she has fallen in love with the Local Wholesome Hometown Boy because he has Opened Her Eyes To The Magic Of Christmas, and thus will be staying here forever doing Christmas Things and also she never actually loved him how dare you want to work hard

->Evil Boyfriend is devastated...but after taking some time to cry in his Cutesy Bed & Breakfast room, he realizes that she really did not sound like herself during that whole speech

->Evil Boyfriend, stuck in the town as he can't immediately get a flight back (holidays make it hard to travel, don't you know), noticing that the whole town is honestly kind of weird -- like he gets that some places really get into the holidays, but everyone here is like "Magic Of Christmas Magic Of Christmas" with big artificial smiles all the time

->Evil Boyfriend thus becoming convinced that Something Is Wrong Here and becoming determined to get to the bottom of it, all the while everyone is treating him like he just needs to Open His Eyes To The Magic Of Christmas

->Evil Boyfriend figuring out what the Horrific Secret of the town is, and facing off against the Local Wholesome Hometown Boy his girlfriend left him for in the climax, as he's determined that this man is the responsible for everything, this man is the root of all the evil, this man --

Mark Hall.

#hallmark #christmas movies #horror #mark hall #yeah okay part of me just wanted to do the pun with the guy's name XD #my idea would be Mark Hall would be the title of the movie in a 'named after the villain' way #and probably there would be many puns about it #maybe Evil Boyfriend goes 'let's deck the Hall' before punching him #anyway yeah I'm pretty sure I saw buried in the notes on the original post someone suggesting this could be a good horror comedy #and I'm sure I'm not the only one to have this idea #it's a fun one!#and it would probably be genuinely creepy too #like just play up how artificially happy everything is #make Mark just that little too perfect #and you could end it all sorts of ways #Evil Boyfriend defeats Mark and saves the town or at least his girlfriend #Evil Boyfriend can't save anybody but can at least get out safely #Evil Boyfriend cannot get out safely and is either taken over and assimilated #or sent out as a new Mark Hall of sorts to convert another town #a la a zombie movie #I dunno I've just been listening to too much Christmas music at work #and want something like this to take that too-sweet edge off #queued

Puzzles and Games With a Sacred Touch?

In today's blog post, we look at ways that the world of puzzles and games have crossed paths with religion!

In recent times, religion and the world of puzzles and games have crossed paths with sometimes surprising results. The film adaptation of The Da Vinci Code, a fairly puzzle-centric thriller, was widely denounced by members of the Catholic Church, and there was similar resistance, though less vocal, against the sequel film, Angels & Demons. And, of course, in the 1980s, the roleplaying game…

Did you know that the Count Duckula series is celebrating its anniversary ?!

As always, I find out about these things late. So I fell behind thinking about what drawing I could dedicate to this friend.

Count Duckula, premiered on September 6, 1988 in the UK. The story of a reincarnated vampire duck who ends up being a vegetarian. And that he goes on crazy adventures with his butler Igor and his clumsy housekeeper, Nanny.

It saddens me not to be able to have something official from this series, but at least on YouTube there are all the chapters to be able to enjoy it again.
