Halloween Month continues as Balladeer’s Blog takes an anticipatory look at Terrifier 3, which hits theaters tomorrow, October 11th. Despite making his first appearance in 2008, Art – the blood-and-gore-soaked supernatural killer of the Terrifier franchise – still gets hailed as a “new” figure because general audiences were unaware of him until 2016.
Regular readers know I’ve long been pushing this ultra-violent series which is a return to the kind of uncompromising horror films from the distant past. Though critics of this latest movie are outraged at Art’s “no limits” approach to victims, let me remind people who feel that way that this grotesque figure has been killing children in his movies since All Hallows’ Eve in 2013.
WARNING: I chose the tamest Terrifier 3 picture I could find to start off this blog post, but this is one of those times when I’m giving a warning that readers who want to avoid excessive gore and intensely disturbing concepts should not click “Continue reading.” Continue reading
It has literally been years since Balladeer’s Blog did a post in my Transgress with Me series, so here we go. For newbies, I’m an Independent Voter who used to be a Democrat until they became such intolerant fascists. At present, it’s the Democrats who are the worst authoritarians and hatemongers, but I have bashed figures from both major political parties here.
*** Democrat dishonesty has become even worse and is spiraling out of control. The number of lies they try to force the rest of us to believe is always growing, especially the Democrat insistence that some males menstruate and some men can naturally get pregnant. Some “party of science.”
THE JOKER (1919) – With the Joker sequel reportedly stinking up theaters around the country I figured why not look at the 1919 pulp magazine hero who used that nom de guerre? 
The previous installments of Fool Killer lore have seen the neglected 1800s folk figure in a variety of roles: 
In honor of the Halloween season this post will look at the Fool Killer as a 1980s slasher. 
THE FOOL KILLER – As we all know, Anthony Perkins starred in the eerie 1965 movie The Fool Killer as an amnesiac Civil War veteran who came to believe he was really the legendary title figure. A 1980s slasher version of the Fool Killer could feature a deranged killer who has similarly come to regard himself as the “real” one.
LIBERTY VS ACES: GAME FOUR – The NEW YORK LIBERTY were on the road against the WNBA’s two-time defending national champions – the LAS VEGAS ACES. 
EZRA PEDEN – This was Allan Cunningham’s tale about the deeds of Scottish Presbyterian Minister Ezra Peden and his encounters with the forces of the supernatural in Scotland from the late 1600s to around 1706. It makes for nice Halloween Season reading and practically makes you feel the chilliness of Scotland in late October as Cunningham depicts the brave, if humorless, Ezra adventuring in the moonlight.

DOWN GOES NUMBER TWO – In the NAIA the CONCORDIA (NE) BULLDOGS visited the number 2 team in the nation – the NORTHWESTERN (IA) COLLEGE RED RAIDERS. A 7-0 1st Quarter lead for the Red Raiders turned into a 7-7 tie by Halftime. From there the Bulldogs outscored Northwestern College 22-10 to win this Upset 29-17. 
KNOCKING OFF NUMBER FOUR – Over in NCAA Division Two the UNIVERSITY OF SIOUX FALLS COUGARS took it on the road against the 4th ranked MINNESOTA STATE MAVERICKS. At the Half the Cougars led 23-9, but the Mavericks cut that to a 30-23 edge in the 3rd Quarter. USF finalized the Upset in the 4th 40-36. 
ACES VS LIBERTY: GAME THREE – This series moved back to Sin City as the two-time defending national champions, the LAS VEGAS ACES welcomed the NEW YORK LIBERTY.
