Compared to an omnipotent being of infinite malevolence, incomprehensible logic, and nothing better to do than make YOU miserable, stuff like Vampires, Werewolves, and Zombies seems like relative chump change.Big Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01534995604187556023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4446682073857250843.post-38330224753775518332011-01-12T09:11:43.143-06:002011-01-12T09:11:43.143-06:00Aliens, not just the James Cameron version either....Aliens, not just the James Cameron version either. I thought District 9 was amazing, though not a horror film.
