Song Saturday: The White Coffin Terror's "Silent Night, Deadly Night"

How's it going lurkers? Before I turned off my TV last night, I heard that vinyl records are making a comeback for the younger generations on my local ABC News. The younger generations supposedly like the sound quality from vinyl albums.

I still have some vinyl albums from the 1980's, when I was growing up. Some records are children's Christmas albums. The rest are '80s Rock and Pop albums by The Bangles, Paula Abdul, Milli Vanilli, Dokken, and the '80s Glam Metal band, Cinderella.

By the time of reaching adolescence during the '90s, I bought more Rock CD's. Had I been a little older during the '80s, I probably would've had more vinyl records than CD's.

It has been ~15 years, since I last listened to Dokken's Back For The Attack vinyl album. Suddenly, their classic music video for "Dream Warriors" comes to mind. 

In 1987, "Dream Warriors" was the theme song for A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. Watching Dokken's music video was creepy. Their music video for "Dream Warriors" featured Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger.

I remember Dokken's "Dream Warriors" being in heavy rotation on MTV in 1987. Until this day, I don't know what scared me more at 5 years old, Freddy Krueger's skin-burned face or his claws? 

Now that I am an adult, I believe it was Krueger's face. However, I still feel that gremlins are more horrifying than he is because of their fugly eyes. 

Normally, I believe the uglier, the more frightening something or someone is.

For instance, have you ever seen something/someone so hideous that you screamed with horror?

As harsh as it may sound to say about someone, I am sure there are other lurkers reading this blog and completely understand my views. It is SO easy to be frightened by someone or something that's downright hideous.

It is not always the face that can be creepy. Sometimes that person or thing can have the most hideous eyes and you will be creeped out, if not traumatized.

In fact, I watched the shitty remake of Silent Night, Deadly Night, last year. I never had the chance to watch the original Christmas Slasher from 1984, but I did watch the 2012 remake, Silent Night.

Silent Night Trailer (2012)

While watching the trailer for Silent Night, I was instantly frightened by the hideous eyes on that Santa Claus mask. 

Like I already said, it's easy to be frightened, if not traumatized by something or someone so hideous. The eyes on that Santa Claus mask rivals the hideous eyes on gremlins.

Last December, I published a blog on Horror-Punks.com about the Silent Night, Deadly Night remake. Silent Night was a joke. 

Last month, I had a conversation with a fellow Horror-Punk friend, Charlie J.J. Kruger. Even though I have never watched the original Christmas Slasher, we both agreed that Silent Night was terrible.

Watching that bratty, pill-popping, 12-year-old girl literally get tased to death and The White Coffin Terror's song as the ending theme were the best. The Santa Claus mask was the only part of Silent Night, that was scary. 

In 2 more weeks, I will try setting aside more time to watch the original Silent Night, Deadly Night and give a review for it. Watching the Christmas Slasher is not set in stone, but it is my goal.

Since I am already on the topic of songs from Slashers, it would only be fitting to share a little Psychobilly Christmas Music.

Originally, I planned to share The White Coffin Terror next week. Now, I have decided to share them today. 

Anyway, here is The White Coffin Terror's "Silent Night, Deadly Night" for today's Song Saturday.

What Are My Latest Thoughts About Girl Meets World?

How's it going lurkers? A decade ago, ABC still used to air its TGIF  block on Friday nights. Those of us adult viewers remember, when Boy Meets World was a part of the same block for years. 

This summer, The Disney Channel is premiering Boy Meets World's new spinoff, Girl Meets World.

Girl Meets World Sneak Peak (2014):

According to Hypable, Girl Meets World will focus on Cory and Topanga Matthews' 7th grade daughter, Riley and her friend, Maya in NYC. 

Cory will be Riley and Maya's History teacher, while Topanga will be the owner of a so-called "trendy after-school hangout that specializes in pudding."

What the hell did the writers do to Cory and Topanga's stories, again?!

Whether you're an adult, "tween," or teen, who watched the original Boy Meets World series, Cory, Topanga, Shawn, and Eric left Pennbrook and headed straight to NYC on the series finale. Topanga was offered a so-called "dream internship" at a law firm.

How did Boy Meets World end with Topanga interning at a law firm to NOW  being an owner of a teenage hangout, specializing in pudding on Girl Meets World?

I hope the writers explain this huge change between both shows. Boy Meets World fans already stated their overall opinions about Girl Meets World, as well as Cory and Topanga's new stories. 

On Hypable, here's what some of Boy Meets World's fans said:

RealOnigokko: "Cory's a middle school teacher and Topanga runs an after-school joint and they can afford a high-society New York City apartment? Ima go ahead and call bullsh*t."

Chris: "'Riley’s mom who owns a trendy after-school hangout that specializes in pudding.' so she's not a lawyer? Guess they wanted to make it "fun" for the kids who will be watching it........"

skecchi: "Nice to see the series get a spin-off. I fear though that because the show is for disney channel, it wont be well received by a wide audience range. If it were on ABC, the tone of the show can be adjusted and would be fitting for mature and young audiences."

Daniel Rubin: "To me, Corey was the lamest part of the show. By the end, he was like a 70-year-old man. Shawn, Mr. Feeney, and especially, Eric, were the best. Feenay! Fuh, fuh, fuh, Feenay!"

First ‘Girl Meets World’ teaser trailer released: Make your own world

Last night, I talked to some of my former Xangan friends/subscribers on Facebook about Girl Meets World. Neither of us have any high hopes for this series, nor do most of Boy Meets World's veteran viewers. 

I am completely aware that Girl Meets World is meant for the female "tween" demographic much like Boy Meets World mostly pandered to the younger male demographic. 

However, Cory and Topanga's stories have been re-written WAY  too many times. This can most definitely be said for Topanga Lawrence-Matthews. 

Regardless of the age and gender of viewers watching Girl Meets World, Boy Meets World's fans will be disappointed. The writers did NOT  stay mostly true to the original characters, stories, and themes. 

Taking that into consideration, this only shows that those writing Girl Meets World at ABC Disney have very little integrity, IF  they actually DO have any.

Whether or not the writers choose to acknowledge Boy Meets World's fans, we will still be the main viewers watching Girl Meets World. 

The spinoff won't necessarily win over our viewership. Reading Girl Meets World's synopsis alone is enough to repulse the original audience.

Hopefully, the "tween" actresses on the spinoff will have enough acting skills and charisma to carry the weight of their own characters, along with such poorly re-written Boy Meets World stories. 

Cory and Topanga each have their own history, as well as the original show's history. With Girl Meets World premiering on The Disney Channel compared to ABC like Boy Meets World, Girl Meets World has a lot more adversities to overcome. This is all I have to say, for now.

Anyway, what are your thoughts? Do you think Girl Meets World has a fighting chance or do you expect it to be canceled?

Let me know what you think!
