Narcolepsy...

I just posted a video I made for my Psychology Class... so I figured I'd write about what I learned. I originally wanted to do a video on SUNDS, or Sudden Unexpected Nocturnal Death Syndrome. There just simply wasn't enough information on it... like whether or not it occurred in REM or Non-REM; basically like Nightmares, or Night Terrors.... So instead I interviewed my Roommate Nicolas Craft, who is a Narcoleptic. The Interview was conducted by Ashley King. HUGE thanks to both of them!!!! I actually got all of the footage I needed in about 4 takes, so that was amazing... they were AMAZING on camera. Ashley brought A LOT of much needed humor to the film. So I'm pretty happy with the film overall... The film was shot with a crew of four people, including myself!!! And this film was accomplished in EXACTLY 24 hours!!! Haha maybe I should do Insomnia Film Fest!!!

Narcolepsy is a neurological sleep disorder affecting 1 in every 2000 Americans... and nearly 3 million people around the world. (That was taken directly from Wikipedia, btw...)

Automatic Behavior is very similar to Sleepwalking...

Hypnagogia: A state of transition to wakefulness. Symptoms include sleep paralysis, hallucinations, and lucid dreaming, to name a few.

Cataplexy is a sudden weakening of the muscles, sometimes brought on by strong emotions.

Halloween

Though I haven't gotten any requests for Halloween makeup looks/tutorials, I have a few of my own! I will be doing so really wearable looks during this time as well, but they will be based off of history/historical events. I will also start doing movie review blog posts as well.

Wish me luck!!!

In a run-down, suburban Bangkok hospital, young Dr. Tar and seven nurses have been running a scheme to sell dead bodies on the black market. But one nurse, Tawan, has found out that her boyfriend, Dr. Tar, has been having an affair with her sister, Nook, is tired of the body-selling scam, and is ready to call the police.

However, before Tawan can take action, the doctor and six resident nurses at the hospital, force Tawan onto an operating table, kill her and then wrap her in a black, plastic garbage bag. They then dump her in the trunk of the doctor’s car, where her corpse will be kept on dry ice until it can be sold.

All the woman have their own obsessions and weaknesses, which are preyed upon in the days that follow, when Tawan's ghost returns to kill each one of her former co-workers. -taken from Wikipedia.

My thoughts:
I like this move, very campy. Would I call it scary or sexy, no, but its still a good movie. There's an interesting twist at the end, and the ghost costume is very well done.

My Rating:
7 out of 10
