Famous Last Words Friday - Epic Stupidity

Let's face it, characters in a horror story make epically bad choices in the face of adversity. There's always that one point where you're practically yelling at them "Wait! Stop! Don't!". Or maybe you're that person and you are actually yelling at them.

Today I present the King of Bad Decisions.

Is he doing it on purpose? 

Does he have a death wish? 

Does he just have a curiosity that can only be sated by death? 

You be the judge...

If there's one thing these panels have in common, it's that you could add "and they were never seen again" after any of them and that could be the end right there.
But no, they have to break open the box that says "do not open".

Oh look Virginia, we found a Book of Demons in the locked chest.
Let's open it!
Sidenote: Who was the idiot that left the key with the book?

I know it's only been 5 panels, but let's review.
Break open chest that warns not to open it? Check.
Unlock book that will let Satan's minions loose on Earth? Check.
Read mystic incantation to release demons? Check.

Virginia, you need to leave this guy and just run!
Or maybe it would be better for all of us if you knock his ass out...

This guy doesn't mess around! Not only is he cool with reading an incantation to let a demon loose, but he goes starts with Satan! After that, he's going through the rest of the book!
 Well buddy, I think you deserve what's coming.
Sidenote: all this happens and it's only page 3!

Countdown to 10/31 - Famous Last Words Friday

The usual blog features have kinda been on hold whilst the Halloween Countdown is underway. But I'm happy to present a special Halloween edition of Famous Last Words Friday. I've been saving it for a few months now!

I hope for little Timmy's sake his dad didn't get that skull from an Indian burial ground...

Famous Last Words Friday - A-Haunting We Will Go

Nothing quite says "I'll show 'em" like going into a remote haunted house all by yourself. In order to "show 'em" you kinda have to...what's the phrase I'm looking for? Oh yes, make it back alive. You might want to consider something else like a drinking contest or a drag race at Dead Man's Curve.

You may have noticed the adorable Dr. Phibes over there on the right. Every year bloggers around the interwebs participate in the Countdown to Halloween by posting about all things Halloween for the month of October.I'm cheating a little since there's still 45 days to Halloween.

I will be holding a little Halloween contest here soon so keep checking back and feel free to click on the good doctor to find out more about the Countdown to Halloween.

Famous Last Words Friday - Sailing Takes Me Away

Out in the middle of the ocean, of all the things it could possibly be, how is flying fish your first thought? I mean, it could be dolphins/porpoises, seals, heck maybe even a breaching shark. All I can say is, if it is a flying fish, he better hope it's not one of the ones from Piranha 2.
 

CAUTION: This clip contains blood & flying piranha that put vampire bats from any B&W movie to shame.

 

Famous Last Words Friday - Digging Up the Dead

Seriously? This is Horror Rules 101, man! At least as early as 1818, when Frankenstein was first published, we know trying to reanimate the dead is a Bad Idea. No matter how mad a scientist you may be, you must have at least heard of some movie or story where reanimation goes horribly wrong. But, I guess if you really are mad, you're gonna do what you're gonna do...

Famous Last Words Friday - Walk in the Woods

Sometimes you just want to go for a walk in the woods alone...and never be seen again.

Famous Last Words Friday - Grave Robbin USA

No matter what, native cemeteries are bad news. But poor Paul here is doing a little grave robbing to add insult to injury. Maybe it would be more accurate to say it's adding insult to impending horrific death.
Astute readers will notice this is just the first page of the story, so Paul's got a fun ride ahead of him!

 

Famous Last Words Friday - UFO Woes

Click to enlarge

Oh boy, where do we begin?

1. You're talking to yourself, not thinking, but actually talking
2. Blatantly exclaiming UFOs are impossible
3. While taking a shortcut
4. Off road through a swamp
5. All by yourself in the car
6. In the middle of the night

Let me know how that works out for you in the end.
See what I did there? 

Famous Last Words Friday - What It's All About

I'm just guessing here, but I think "what it's all about" is going to involve lots of broken bones and blood. 

Famous Last Words Friday - Leavin On a Jet Plane

OK, it's really a prop plane...

I wonder if the in-flight movie is Final Destination?

Famous Last Words Friday - Lazy Guard

Gee Ralph, maybe you should get some Lysol or something to freshen up the place. Maybe if you took your job seriously, you'd have seen that thing sneaking up behind you that's casting a shadow on the wall. You're a security guard, don't lounge at the receptionist's desk! Get back to work before it's too...oh, you know what? Forget it.

Famous Last Words Friday - A Nice Motel?

Sure, Noel, it looks like a great motel. If by motel you mean summer camp for serial killer victims. Look at the lettering on the sign, does that look like it was done by a professional or a deranged killer?
