Horror Idioms: What are Yours?
by: Greetings Deadites,I was alerted this morning to people using “Screaming Like an Banshee” incorrectly replacing screaming with non-banshee verbs. Now we can sit here all day and debate who is to blame; Twilight, SyFy Original Movies, Twitter. However it got me thinking what other horror idioms are out there that people can mess up? Here are a few.
Let Sleeping Werewolves Lay
Does Dracula wear a cape?
Like a Zombie With its Head Blown Off
Drastic Times Call for a Machete and a Hockey Mask
Great Ghosts Haunt Alike
No Room to Swing a Cat-of-Nine Tails
I look forward to seeing if anyone comes up with more, feel free to comment to today’s blog or call them into the RFR Rotline: (641) 715-3900 Ext 35822 and hear yourself on the show!
So until next time Deadites, Sit Back, Relax, and Rot Away…
1. Don’t cry over spilled blood.
2. It is best to prepare for the days of necessity, because one never knows when a zombie invasion may happen.
3. Sticks and stones may break my bones but mutated twisted rednecks will always kill me.
4. Slow and steady wins the race, but will not help when being chased by a madman sociopath.
5. Old friends cannot without impunity be sacrificed for new ones, demonstrated by Alex Forrest.
6. Abstain and enjoy, because the kids who do it way to early in the movie always get murdered first.
7. Count the cost before you commit yourself, because once you’re in a rubber room its very hard to escape.
8. We do better to bear our troubles bravely than try to escape them, because once you try to escape they’ll drag you back and hang you on meathooks to keep you from running again.
9. Fine feathers don’t make fine birds, no matter how pretty she is she could still be a serial killer.
Nice!!!
