If you ever wanted to know about McDonald’s Occult Dangers Division, ODD, and their secret quest to stamp out ghosts and hauntings to preserve profits, then look no further than Demon Freaks. J.R.R.R. (Jim) Hardison depicts several ordinary teenagers in various supernatural situations, jumping from one absurd scenario to another with abandon. Demon Freaks focuses heavily on brothers Ron and Bing Slaughter and their friends Meat and Kaitlyn who are unwilling sacrifices when calling a demon. But don’t worry, Kaitlyn is the know-it-all who always thinks something like this would happen. All four main characters are band members in high school who may soon be expelled for writing mean songs about their teacher. The only way they can continue on to college is with excellent SAT scores in the morning. They go to study and practice at Meat’s house when their least favorite teacher attacks. William Jeffrey Brom, or “Spit-Flecked Brommy” as the brothers call him, is a history teacher by day but his free time is far more interesting. When not tormenting or trying to expel Ron and Bing, Brom is a member of a secret occult society called the Servants of Darkness which is a fringe group of the Golfers. Soon Meat and Kaitlyn are kidnapped and only Ron and Bing can save their lives. …show more content…

He picks a group of people and makes them old, power hungry, and rude and never misses an opportunity to remind you that all golfers are evil. The only other people present in the clubhouse are the Caddies who one day hope to be invited to be Golfers and learn how to use their psychic abilities.

This movie in my opinion is a wakeup call for mankind not to mess with the unknown, nor want to seek it. This movie is not really an demonic movie because they refer themselves as demons, but one of the line’s said in the movie by Pinhead “angels to some, demons to others”, probably meant is how your see them I think . Hellrasier is rated R due to the graphic scenes of murder, and sexual content is not suitable for children under

    The nation and people were separated and each man fought for what they believed to be right for them. Whether the men sided with the north or south it really did not matter. Whether they believed slavery should be abolished or not, it was not too prevalent in this book. Some men fought for themselves, for their families, to protect their land, and some because it was the morally right and loyal thing to do. Whatever reasons the soldiers decided to fight that day and days subsequently, I am sure they could not have dreamed of the legacy that their heroism and bravery that The Battle of Gettysburg has left in American History. With over 50,000 casualties occurred that occurred over three days of aggressive fighting, the battle was vital turning point in the civil war.

  • The Breakfast Club: Exploring Peer Relationships

    714 Words  | 2 Pages

    The first character that intrigued me, probably because I could relate to him the most was Andrew, the "jock." A jock is the group of people that are athletically inclined and are usually part of a sports team. When all the students were confessing what they had done he seemed the most regretful of his actions. Andrew being a great wrestler at school saw an unsuspecting teammate that was much smaller than he was and decided to jump on him and start beating up on him. What made his case so extreme was that not only did beat up on his teammate but he taped his butt cheeks together. The perception that I, as well as the members of the breakfast club, had of Andrew was that he couldn't think for himself. He also thought the same thing because he said that he felt pressured by his dad to do something mischievous because he (his dad) used to get into mischievous acts often while he was in high school. So while he was looking at his smaller teammate he said that all he could here was his father telling him about being a winner and doing so many unnecessary things just because he was an exceptional athlete. When Andrew told his story it seemed that all the other people were going to cry because they could see that he regretted doing what he did.

  • Archetypal Role In Horror Movies

    890 Words  | 2 Pages

    Each of the teenagers in the group plays an archetypal role that can found in many of the horror films of the last thirty years. Jules plays the role of ‘The Whore’, Curt ‘The Athlete’, Holden ‘The Scholar’, Marty ‘The Fool’, and Dana ‘The Virgin’. The remaining two in the third act of the film, Marty and Dana, discover that the order in which they group dies can be flexible, as long as ‘The Whore’ dies first and ‘The Virgin’ lives or is the last to perish. This revelation for the characters partly acts as a critique of the moralistic view of sex as resulting in death in the traditional slasher movie. For example in films that established the slasher in the horror genre like John Carpenter’s ‘Halloween’ (1978), all of the characters that engage

  • Demonological Theory Essay

    Demonological or also known as spiritual explanations of a crime use other worldly powers, religious beliefs, and supernatural powers to explain why someone committed a crime. Such explanations can be used to explain the behavior of Tiequon Cox who with his gang members murdered four people in the morning on a Friday August 31, 1984. Cox is described very often as an evil, and a monster at the same time. His behavior to innocent people seems like something that a person from hell would only commit. They have to ask a question “How would someone commit such a violent crime?”. People who can not find a normal, psychological explanation for a crime, tend to use demonological explanation to give them the feeling of understanding or even a closure.
