Grinchman

This is my latest story,  it features a grinch tf and is sort of a homage to the first Darkman movie especially near the end.  I hope you like it.

------------

Scientist Nathan Forester had always had a facination with monsters, the supernatural and the paranormal.




He had a group of monsters in his bedroom closet who served as his loyal guardians. His monster gang often fought off the enemies that he himself was too busy to deal with personally.



Of course monsters weren't the only thing Nathan liked, he also liked science, movies, animation and comics. His favourite movie stars were Bruce Campbell and Jim Carrey.



He loved all of Jim Carrey's movies but his particular favourite was The Grinch, as he had been facinated by the mysterious green, furry species known as Grinches and he himself had dreamed of becoming one for a long time.



Now to some it seemed crazy even bat shit insane that he would want to be a grinch like the one from the movie, in fact he had been ridiculed for this by practically all of his enemies including Rents the man who ran the website Slapstick Anarchy, Habermann and his cronies at Metokur.org and even Encyclopedia Dramatica.



But he paid no attention to them, as he was too busy doing some important research, he had done some extensive research on grinches and was working on a formula make himself become more grinch-like.





"It's almost finished." He exclaimed.



"It's lovely, Doc. But what does it do?" His friend Andria Kilgor asked.



"That's a good question Andria, and here is your answer. You see i have been facinated by grinches for a long time and have always dreamed of being one." He replied.



"That's great." She responded.



"You mean you don't think it's crazy or in the least bit insane?" He exclaimed.



"Of course not, it's wonderful. I never believe anything Rents, Habermann or Encyclopedia Dramatica says about you." She told him. "You're a charming, talented, wonderful man."



"Why thank you." He responded, smiling.



"You're quite welcome." She told him.



And with that Andria left as Nathan continued his work.



Nathan held the formula in his hand, and after just the right amount of grinch DNA to it, he took some sips of it.



After drinking it he found himself taking on more grinch-like characteristics each night, he became stronger, faster and increasingly stealthier and more grinch-like.



One night Andria found him in the lair, he was start to look more grinch-like by the second.



"Nathan!" She cried. "Is that you?"



"Yes, it is." He responded, his voice sounding deeper and more bestial.



"I want to take a look." She said. "You perfect the formula, it worked. It doesn't matter what they say about you."



He turned around, revealing that he was indeed becoming more grinch-like in appearance, green fur was growing on his hands and all over him, his feet had grown more grinch-like and had black claws on his toenails similar to the black clawed grinch-like nails he had on his hands, his hair was starting to turn a dark greenish colour and his eyes were glowing, eyebrows becoming similar to the grinch's eyebrows.



"Andria. Don't you think I told myself that? The formula worked, i'm finally getting to become more grinch-like, it's a dream come true for me. I love it, and i'm sure you would love me like this too inside and out. After I finished taking a few sips of the formula..i began to change. Now I have to conceal my identity" He told her, in a deeper more bestial voice. "But a funny thing happened, i'm slowly changing into an actual grinch - I can live with that, but i don't think anyone else can."



As Nathan walked out of the lair, Andria followed him and tried to comfort him. He left the lair.



"Nathan! Nathan!" She cried.



"Nathan is gone." He responded in a deeper more bestial voice, as he spoke he was starting to look more grinch-like, he was taller, wider, his ears were now pointed and covered with green fur, his facial features becoming slightly grinch-like as his nose began to push out into a more Grinch fashion, black, homid and great for tracking down enemies or sniffing for food, a grinch-like muzzle forming on his face.



And with that he rushed off at superhuman speed and disappeared into the crowd.



Andria ran through the crowd trying to find him, but to no avail, she couldn't find him anywhere.



"Nathan! Nathan!" She called out. "Nathan!"



She looked around some more but alas she could not find him for he had disappeared into the crowd.



"I am a man and I am a grinch. I am everywhere, and nowhere." He said in a deeper more bestial voice. "Call me....Grinchman".



He gave one last farewell glance towards Andria, his eyes glowing an eerie yellowish colour as his grinch-like muzzle finished forming.



And with that he slunk off into the night, and Andria sobbed because she knew she probably wouldn't see him again. But he did visit her from time to time, mainly at night.





The end

Monstrous fun

I've always had a love of monsters - i grew up with Tales From The Crypt and all sorts of horror movies.   As for the combining celebrities with monsters thing,  I think that doing that sort of thing, it's fun.    If it wasn't for Tales From The Crypt or Are You Afraid Of The Dark i wouldn't be the monster loving not-so-mad scientist i am today.

Because monsters are fun, one of the things i enjoy most is scary things, i love scary stories, scary movies, scary books, and even scary tv shows.

And even today they still manage to keep me entertained. Some of the stuff that you may think was really scary as a kid actually turns out to be really funny when you're an adult. For example the scene in Disney's Pinnocio where Lampwick turns into a donkey.


I love the Nightmare On Elm Street series, but not the remake. Robert Englund is the one and only Freddy Krueger for me.



David Cronenberg has also been one of my favourite directors, i especially like Videodrome, Scanners and The Fly.


To this day i am impressed by the work of the makeup greats Stan Winston, Rick Baker and Tom Savini.


And if there is anything i have learned from watching the Evil Dead films it's that Bruce Campbell can make anything awesome.
 
 
And also some of the best actors start out during horror films,   even Tom Hanks was in a horror film.  And also to extent coincidentally so was John Candy.
 
 
It's true,  in fact it was one of his earliest film roles,  he appeared in a low budget canadian horror film called the Clown Murders.     You see the chubby guy in the blue jacket sitting on the car?  That's John's character Ollie.
 
                                         
 

 

Spiderman 4 a no go

I've got bad news for you.  Sam Raimi will NOT be doing Spiderman 4 which means we probably won't be seeing his brother or Bruce Campbell making any cameo appearances.



But don't worry fans,  you can still get your fix of Bruce by watching the Evil Dead films,  followed by the latest episodes of Burn Notice -   or you could get out Jack Of All Trades or Brisco County Jr complete series on dvd.      

By far this one has to be the most memorable cameo appearance Bruce has EVER done in the spiderman films.    Here he is a snooty usher who refuses to give Peter Parker access to his friends play on the count of being late.   Way to go Brucey!
