Halloween Countdown Film #7... The Mothman Prophecies

 
 

John Klein:
I think we can assume that these entities are more advanced than us. Why don't they just come right out and tell us what's on their minds?
 
Alexander Leek:
You're more advanced than a cockroach, have you ever tried explaining yourself to one of them? 
 
The Mothman Prophecies (2002)
Based on the book by, John Keel
 
The Mothman Prophecies is loosely based on the 1975 book, which is based on the actual events that occurred in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, in the 1960's. Who doesn't love a story, based on a story, based possibly on real events? Personally, I will take it any which way, because I love horror stories, legends, and fictionalized accounts of spooky things and places. So, as you might imagine, I am a big fan of this story in any form. It's a big winged creature, that has big red eyes, and may or may not be a harbinger of death. You probably know the legend by now, so I won't yammer on about it, but I will say, I would love to see one, one day. There was a reported sighting of one, sitting on top of the Tower bridge in Sacramento, a few years back. I look for it whenever I visit Old Sacramento, but so far I've had no luck. Which is a good thing I guess. But one day, with a little luck, it will be sitting high atop the bridge's golden tower, with it's big red eyes staring out into the night, and my camera will be powerless and my phone will have been absentmindedly left at home. So when it happens, and I come back here to tell you all about it, you'll just have to believe me.
 
But will you? Bwahahahahahaha!
