Killer Legends

This film is a horror crime documentary about four of the many urban legends and the crimes that they are based off of or are caused by the urban legends. All things made up are based off of some reality. 

This film came out in 2014. Starring Joshua Zeman and Rachel Mills. Also directed by Joshua Zeman. The film is filmed in 3 different locations. Texarkana, Texas, Houston, Texas, and finally Chicago, Illinois. 

The first urban legend they mention is the Cropsy legend right at the beginning of the film before moving on to the next one, Which is the urban legend of Lovers' Lane and the Hook Man. 

They talk about the urban legend surrounding Lovers' Lane and the Hook Man.  They are in Texarkana, Texas.  Where this happened. Only the killer used a gun instead of a hook.  He killed 5 young adults.  He was dubbed the Phantom Killer/Murderer.  There are several films that this string of killings happened to inspire. 

The next urban legend was the Candy Man and all the horrors that parents don't except to happen when it comes down to trick or treating on Halloween night. 


Then you have the babysitter and the killer. You know the one where there is a young girl who is babysitting someone's child and some stranger calls asking if she's checked on the kid and she hasn't. She calls the cop and still gets killed anyways. 


Then you have the Killer Clown urban legend. Which you know contributes to everyone's fear of clowns.  But it delves into the crimes that involved any sort of clown.

X-Men: Days of Future Past

I recently saw X-Men: Days of Future Past. HBO was doing this free thing so I recorded it.

I absolutely loved this movie. It brought back some of my favorite characters: Storm, Bobby, th;e Professor, Magneto, Kitty, and obviously Logan.

In this movie Kitty sends Logan's subconscious back in time in to a younger version of himself and he has to get the Professor to believe what he says and stop Mystic from killing Trask thus stopping them from kidnapping her and using her abilities to cause the end of mutants.
