While making split pea soup, I’m watching The Conjuring.  The movie is super-creepy.  A carrot this twisted, may be possessed by an entity who once walked the Earth, but not in human form.  The movie doesn’t specifically mention demonically possessed vegetables, but why take chances?

This morning, I was reading an article about movies, and The Conjuring series was mentioned.  Demonic stuff always creeps me out, but this series is based on the supposed real-life adventures of Ed and Lorraine Warren, paranormal investigators.

The writers, Chad and Carey Hayes, are Christians, so they believe the premise of these movies.

The Hayes brothers describe themselves as Christians in the interview, with Carey noting that “we’re 100-percent aware of the reality that there is darkness and there is light. We’ve seen it. We’ve witnessed it.”

Frankenstein and Dracula are outlandish monsters, so not really scary.  When the monster is a person, like in The Silence of the Lambs, or any realistic scenario, the movie is too unsettling to be entertaining.  I avoid those.  Demonic movies are in between.

As a man of physics and the Earth, I recognize that quantum physics teaches us that weird shit happens and we can’t explain everything.  I am not a man of faith, so the Bible doesn’t explain everything either.  There is enough doubt in between, to make these movies entertaining.

Now, the potatoes are watching me.

Look at all those eyes. 

The onions haven’t given me any trouble.
