So like any good Star Wars fan, I've concocted this elaborately-researched backstory that gives a deeper explanation to a question that George Lucas would almost certainly answer with "Lightning... duh."(As much as I love all the extra canon and EU/Legends stuff, this theory really only sources the movies; please don't Force choke me.)***Nathan Wellman - Editor, Narrator, Performer (@LightningWOW)David Miller - Camera Op, After Effects assistanceMovies Used:Star Wars Episodes 1-6.

Misery: Monsters Arent Always Mysterious Acolytes of Horror 2016-11-01 | My Halloween gift to you. Support my work: paypal.me/AcolytesOfHorrorI’ve read a lot of Stephen King’s books, but Misery is the one that my eyes burned through in less than 24 hours. The day went by in a white-knuckled blur as I carried the book from bed to armchair to kitchen table to toilet to armchair (etc) until I was slamming the back cover shut. Annie Wilkes terrified me in ways I’d never been scared before, because Annie Wilkes felt REAL.I’ve been obsessed with watching video essays ever since I got turned onto thenerdwriter1’s work, so this is my first stab at digging into that world. I've found an unexpected thrill in writing via editing. Trying to craft a narrative or argument with mostly outside sources wound up feeling surprisingly liberating. (Except for the part where I had to venture to the dark side of the internet and watch most of the Nightmare on Elm’s Street/Friday the 13th/Halloween/Texas Chainsaw Massacre kills to try to find footage that I thought fit with my aesthetic. I felt like I was trapped in an Antonin Artaud play.)***Nathan Wellman - Performer, Writer, Director, Editor (@LightningWOW)Phoebe Kuhlman - Hair Monster, Camera operatorWith special thanks to David Haverty and Devon Kenneth Lee for editing advice.
