Que Horror! - Illustrado
Ready to be scared out of your wits?
Come on, people, this month won’t be complete without remembering our dearly departed — God bless their souls — and without remembering that which gave us endless goosebumps, made us scream to the wrath of our neighbors, and drove us to do sabayang pagsi-C.R. OMG, help us through our sleepless nights.
But then, what would be November for the average Pinoy if not for the fright—and the fun — of it all? Mwahahaha!
Of Plants, Zombies, and Whatnot
You know it’s that time of the year again when you suddenly miss MGB or “Magandang Gabi, Bayan” and its true-to-life narratives of Sto. Niño possessions, floating coffins, obsessed engkantos, and vengeful white/black/red ladies. Hah! If not for this show’s annual Halloween special, we’d go on with our pitiable lives believing that the White Lady monopolized those female-starred tales of terror. For this enlightenment alone, we’re grateful to Kabayan Noli. (We promise to be more grateful if MGB stages a comeback, even if it’s only during November.)
And since it’s the 11th month, let’s not forget Shake, Rattle & Roll’s 11 installments (and still counting, for as long as there’s Metro Manila Film Festival), some of which brought out our paranoia about the least intimidating objects. A Christmas tree, for one, because it might turn out to be a human-eating-tree. And we don’t want to be served as Noche Buena. Another is the “pridyeder.” (Please, not refrigerator. Show respect to the late great Ishmael Bernal, who directed this episode.) See, it’s not just a killer fridge, which churns out bloody fingers if you want longganisa for breakfast; it’s also rather promiscuous, seducing a younger — and slimmer — Janice de Belen. Mwahahahaha!
