Horror Meditation Groups!

[crabapple]

Yeah, okay, so, I had this idea. How about creating a "horror and meditation retreat" kind of thing, you know, make it available to people, especially paying people, and a bunch of people they sort of, uh, get together at a place, and then they watch some scary horror movies, and the watching of the movies is sort of mediated by a "guide," and when everyone is good and scared, then it becomes this spiritual/new age meditation exercise, with relaxing music and subdued lighting.

And then, after everyone is relaxed, having contemplated and looked within and suchlike, then, everyone watches a scary movie again and gets scared. And then back to meditation/contemplation. For about six hours. For about six hundred dollars, per person.

And there would be, like, a cat sitting on a couch somewhere.

Could there also be a talking bird?

I'm gonna need a lot of pot.

I don't think that's such a bad idea. I've done Jungian active imagination exercises while watching Vampyr and came up with some great stuff.

[Scarebaby]

Vampyr, really? All that movie made me do was chew on a hangnail and sniff my armpits every now and then.

[neverending]

You missed a lot.

[Scarebaby]

We are talking about this movie, right?

Not a bad idea *lol*....you should patten that idea if it's not already pattened. Make it an globalize the whole thing and have franchises of "Horror and Meditation Retreat". :)

No, if we meant Hollywood Vampyr, we would have said Hollywood Vampyr. We're talking about one of the landmarks of silent cinema, Carl Dreyer's Vamyr:

I could see something like that working but i think it would be only to a rather "particular" group.

[scarymoviefreak!!!]

That isn't a bad Idea. I have (and this is no joke) OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) where I go every month and buy minimum of 15 movies (all horror of course) and I have to watch them. I have a DVD collection of 1235 movies.

You do mean business, huh?

*grinds against leg*

[crabapple]

Yes the folks around here do mean business all right, when it comes to horror flicks 'n' such...that is effing right!

Yes this horror meditation retreat idea, this is not for a wide audience. It is for a specialized audience, and we would market it, of course, as a sort of upscale, sophisticated thing. For the cool upscale horror set. There are those places that charge a hundred dollars an hour, or more, to place warm smooth rocks on your back while playing new age music softly in your general direction. Well, our rocks would be...a little warmer...and the new age music would be...new RAGE music

and little goblins would bring you plates of crackers and cheese. and everything would have pepper in it...everything

moo ha ha
