Stay Out of the Swamp
March 30, 2007
You’ve got Jason Vorhees, Freddy Krueger, & The Candy Man all in one feature. Of course they aren’t playing those defying roles but they are in fact together to create the next horror icon, Victor Crowley in Hatchet.
And It goes a little something like this: “Once there was a boy named Victor Crowley. He was born hideously deformed, and sadly, folks weren’t too kind to him. So he spent most of his life hidden in his Daddy’s house out in the bayou. One Halloween night, the local children came throwing firecrackers at the house to tease and scare him. And the old Crowley house caught fire. When Victor’s Daddy arrived home, the house was in flames. He went to the barn, grabbed himself a hatchet, and started chopping down the front door. But what he didn’t know was that Victor was pressed up against the other side, trying to get out. He hit him square in the face with the hatchet… and poor Victor Crowley died. The old man went into mourning and became a recluse after that. Never left the house. Never spoke to anyone. He finally passed away about ten years later. And that’s when the stories started. They say people tend to disappear in that swamp. And if you get close enough to the old Crowley house at night you can still hear Victor Crowley. Still roaming in the woods. Still crying for his Daddy.” - Louisiana Folklore
I can’t wait, I can’t wait. You can find out a lot more about the movie at it’s site. The cast is good, especially the older cast and if it lives up to the hype it will be the first good horror in years. It doesn’t come out till September 7th, though. It’s too early to geek out about it. It could so easily turn out to be horrible like the rest of Hollywood’s attempts.
Maybe one day Victor can join Horror F.R.I.E.N.D.S.
Horror just ain’t what it used to be. (I love OJ)
