About

Greetings. We are gathered today to pay our respects to our dear old friend Fear. He lived to a ripe old age--entymologists agree that even the common cockroach can experience it. Alas, it was no match for the towering geyser of gore that is Hollywood, which made a farce of fear. Please, no tears; Fear wouldn't want it that way. It would prefer that we live in dread of its ghost, which stalks not in your mother's linens, but skulks around in the hides of its victims, the only covering that can keep it warm. We are at the hands of a vengeful ghoul and we would do well to appease it. Tell of a time that Fear ran its cold finger down the bumps of your back.
