Hazel October
So I’m up on this Friday morning gettin’ ready to start my day, but I’m a little down. It’s the beginning of October and while I have nothing against the tenth month of the year, it still marks the end of my favorite time of year, the summer. I’m gonna miss the cookouts, warm weather, swimming , and clear heated nights among other things. Now I’m walking to the store a couple blocks away to go do some light shopping and I’m starting to notice something. There’s a new energy in the air. Something vibrant, but different than what I felt over the summer. It catches my drift, but then I quickly brush it off and head inside the store, which greeted me with something unexpected.

That film was Friday the 13th and it’s central character’s name is Jason Voorhees. Ever since his conception he has been known as a silent killer who ironically speaks loud volumes of the American conscious. He is also one of the greatest icons in the history of horror.

Icons of Horror: Michael Myers
“I met him, 15 years ago; I was told there was nothing left; no reason, no conscience, no understanding in even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, of good or evil, right or wrong. I met this... six-year-old child with this blank, pale, emotionless face, and... the blackest eyes - the Devil's eyes. I spent eight years trying to reach him, and then another seven trying to keep him locked up, because I realized that what was living behind that boy's eyes was purely and simply... evil.” - Dr. Sam Loomis.
