Dean Winchester: Aw, what's the matter Sammy, afraid you're get a little Nair in your shampoo again, huh? Dean Winchester: I say we find ourselves a bar and some beers, and leave the legend to the locals. Dean Winchester: I thought the legend says that Mordechai only goes after chicks. Sam Winchester: It does. Dean Winchester: Right. Well, I mean, that explains why he went after you, but why me? Dean Winchester: Okay, wait a second. You're trying to tell me that just because people believe in Mordechai, he's real? Sam Winchester: I don't know, maybe. Dean Winchester: People believe in Santa Clause, how come I'm not getting hooked up every Christmas? Sam Winchester: Because you're a bad person. Dean Winchester: I barely have enough skin left on my palm. Sam Winchester: I'm not touching that line with a ten foot pole. [Dean and Sam ask the kids about the haunted house] Second Teenage Boy: It was the scariest thing I ever saw in my life, I swear to God! Third Teenage Boy: From the moment we walked in. The walls were painted black. Second Teenage Boy: Red. First Teenage Girl: I think it was blood! Second Teenage Boy: With all these freaky symbols. Third Teenage Boy: Crosses and stars and... Second Teenage Boy: Pentagons... Third Teenage Boy: Pentacostals! First Teenage Girl: Whatever. I had my eyes closed the whole time. Second Teenage Boy: But I can damn sure tell you this much, no matter what anybody else says. First Teenage Girl: That poor girl. Third Teenage Boy: With the black... Second Teenage Boy: Blonde... First Teenage Girl: Red hair, just, just, just hanging there! Second Teenage Boy: Kicking! Third Teenage Boy: Without even moving! First Teenage Girl: She was real! Second Teenage Boy: One hundred percent! Third Teenage Boy: And kinda hot. Well you know, in a *dead* sort of way. Dean Winchester: Okay... Sam Winchester: ...And how did you find out about this place anyway? Second Teenage Boy, Third Teenage Boy, First Teenage Girl: Craig! Sam Winchester: We're doing an article on local hauntings, and rumor has it you might know about one. Craig Thursten: You mean the Hell House? Dean Winchester: That's the one. Craig Thursten: I didn't think there was anything to the story. Sam Winchester: Why don't you tell us the story? Craig Thursten: Well, supposedly back in the thirties, this farmer, Mordecai Murdoch, used to live in the house with his six daughters. It was during the Depression, his crops were failing, he didn't have enough money to even feed his own family. So I guess that's when he went off the deep end. Sam Winchester: How? Craig Thursten: Well, he figured, it was best if his girls died quick, rather than starve to death. So he attacked them. And they screamed, and begged for him to stop, but, he just strung 'em up. One after another. And then when he was all finished, he turned around and hung himself. Now they say that his spirit is trapped in the house forever. Stringing up any other girl that goes inside. Dean Winchester: And where'd you hear all this? Craig Thursten: My cousin Dana told me. I don't know where she heard it from. You gotta realize, I didn't believe this for a second... Sam Winchester: But now you do. Craig Thursten: I don't know what the hell to think, man. Guys, I'll tell you exactly what I told the police, okay? That girl was real. And she was dead. This was not a prank. I swear to God, I don't wanna go anywhere near that house, ever again, okay? Sam Winchester: Well, I couldn't find a Mordecai, but I did turn up a Mark Murdoch who lived in that house in the thirties. He did have children, but only two of 'em. Both boys. And there's no record he ever killed anyone. Dean Winchester: Huh. Sam Winchester: What about you? Dean Winchester: Ah well, those kids didn't really give us a clear description of that dead girl, but I did hit up the police station. No matching missing persons, it's like she never existed. Dude, come on man, we did our diggin'. This one's a bust. All right? For all we know those Hellhound boys made up the whole thing. Sam Winchester: Yeah, all right. Dean Winchester: I say we find ourselves a bar and some beers and leave the legend to the locals. [he gets in the car; Sam waits, grinning; Dean turns the ignition and music blasts out of the speakers at full volume] Dean Winchester: Whoa! Jeez, what the... [Sam laughs, getting in] Dean Winchester: That's all you got? That's weak.

Rosen1 Who's Your Daddy: Father Trumps Fate in Supernatural From the pilot episode, Supernatural has clearly been rooted in family, specifically in a male-only family. The brief glimpse viewers have of the Winchester household together is quickly replaced by a family ravaged by the death of a beloved mother and wife. Following Mary’s death, the family becomes less like kin and more like an elite fighting squad with John as the stern general. John’s shift from loving, nurturing father to disciplinarian will have far- reaching effects on Dean and Sam and the men that they will ultimately become, yet their experiences with John as father are vastly different.

  • Will This Manhattan Projects Original Artwork Cliffhanger Make Another
    COMICS COSPLAY TV/FILM GAMES SUBMIT CGC Search … Will This Manhattan Projects Original Artwork Cliffhanger Make Another Big Splash? Posted by Mark Seifert March 19, 2014 0 Comments Facebook Twitter Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr Email Reddit [The Manhattan Projects #18 has been out for a couple weeks, but still — if you haven’t read this issue and plan to, you might want to skip this post for now.] Several years into the digital era for both comics reading and comics production, I still love to look at original comic art up close. The look and feel of the art board, the subtle texture of the ink, the faint traces of changes and corrections… it all adds up to a little extra insight into the time and circumstances behind the comics book’s creation. We’ve mentioned a bunch of noteworthy original art sales here in recent times — from that awe-inspiring Golden Age Action Comics #15 cover by Fred Guardineer, to this Silver Age Fantastic Four #55 page by Jack Kirby, to this Bronze Age classic Amazing Spider- Man #121 cover by John Romita Sr, down to the current record holder for a piece of American comic book art with this Amazing Spider-Man #328 cover by Todd McFarlane. And increasingly, original art sales from much more recent comics are turning heads as well. It’s probably no surprise that Skottie Young original art is highly sought after, or that Walking Dead original art — even panel pages — can command some eye- popping prices. But modern comic art collectors have broadened their interests to many other artists and titles of quality in recent times, such as this Pia Guerra Y: The Last Man panel page that recently went for $1000.

  • ABSTRACT the Women of Supernatural: More Than
    ABSTRACT The Women of Supernatural: More than Stereotypes Miranda B. Leddy, M.A. Mentor: Mia Moody-Ramirez, Ph.D. This critical discourse analysis of the American horror television show, Supernatural, uses a gender perspective to assess the stereotypes and female characters in the popular series. As part of this study 34 episodes of Supernatural and 19 female characters were analyzed. Findings indicate that while the target audience for Supernatural is women, the show tends to portray them in traditional, feminine, and horror genre stereotypes. The purpose of this thesis is twofold: 1) to provide a description of the types of female characters prevalent in the early seasons of Supernatural including mother-figures, victims, and monsters, and 2) to describe the changes that take place in the later seasons when the female characters no longer fit into feminine or horror stereotypes. Findings indicate that female characters of Supernatural have evolved throughout the seasons of the show and are more than just background characters in need of rescue. These findings are important because they illustrate that representations of women in television are not always based on stereotypes, and that the horror genre is evolving and beginning to depict strong female characters that are brave, intellectual leaders instead of victims being rescued by men. The female audience will be exposed to a more accurate portrayal of women to which they can relate and be inspired. Copyright © 2014 by Miranda B. Leddy All rights reserved TABLE OF CONTENTS Tables

  • A University of Wisconsin Arboretum Narrative: Changing Landscapes and Changing Meaning
    A University of Wisconsin Arboretum Narrative: Changing Landscapes and Changing Meaning Molly Evjen, Andreas Karlsson, Ryan Kelly, Matt Lamb Geography 565 Fall 2010 Abstract As societies change, so too does their relationship with the land. These changing relationships are reflected in and imprinted upon the land on which they live. In order to demonstrate how the landscape of the UW Arboretum has mirrored this changing association with nature through time, we have conducted an environmental history which focuses on four vignettes representing major changes in this relationship. Through research of primary data sources such as historical newsletters, observation, and plat map analysis our research shows that the Arboretum is a palimpsest of landforms and meaning resulting from these changing relationships. Introduction Environmental History is the study of the changing relationship between human beings and the natural world. We believe that the UW arboretum is a landscape that, through time, has been reflective of this changing relationship. Our purpose is to demonstrate how the landscape of the UW Arboretum has changed through time and how these changes reflect a cycle of changing, complex relationships between society and nature. We utilize multiple primary resources in our analysis such as plat maps, CCC newsletters, photographs, observations and personal reflections from our own field journals. We will demonstrate how the UW Arboretum is representative of this changing relationship in a number of ways. It is a reminder of early connections to the land represented by numerous burial mounds. The mounds also symbolize, through the multitude of possible interpretations of their purpose, people’s ever-changing interpretations of our relationship with nature in general.

  • Constructing Community and Cosmos: a Bioarchaeological Analysis of Wisconsin Effigy Mound Mortuary Practices and Mound Construction
    CONSTRUCTING COMMUNITY AND COSMOS: A BIOARCHAEOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF WISCONSIN EFFIGY MOUND MORTUARY PRACTICES AND MOUND CONSTRUCTION By Wendy Lee Lackey-Cornelison A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILSOPHY Anthropology 2012 ABSTRACT CONSTRUCTING COMMUNITY AND COSMOS: A BIOARCHAEOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF WISCONSIN EFFIGY MOUND MORTUARY PRACTICES AND MOUND CONSTRUCTION By Wendy Lee Lackey-Cornelison This dissertation presents an analysis of the mounds, human skeletal remains, grave goods, and ritual paraphernalia interred within mounds traditionally categorized as belonging to the Wisconsin Effigy Mound Tradition. The term ‘Effigy Mound Tradition’ commonly refers to a widespread mound building and ritual phenomenon that spanned the Upper Midwest during the Late Woodland (A.D. 600-A.D. 1150). Specifically, this study explores how features of mound construction and burial may have operated in the social structure of communities participating in this panregional ceremonial movement. The study uses previously excavated skeletal material, published archaeological reports, unpublished field notes, and photographs housed at the Milwaukee Public Museum to examine the social connotations of various mound forms and mortuary ritual among Wisconsin Effigy Mound communities. The archaeological and skeletal datasets consisted of data collected from seven mound sites with an aggregate sample of 197 mounds and a minimum number of individuals of 329. The mortuary analysis in this study explores whether the patterning of human remains interred within mounds were part of a system involved with the 1) creation of collective/ corporate identity, 2) denoting individual distinction and/or social inequality, or 3) a combination of both processes occurring simultaneously within Effigy Mound communities.

  • Theology of Supernatural
    religions Article Theology of Supernatural Pavel Nosachev School of Philosophy and Cultural Studies, HSE University, 101000 Moscow, Russia; [email protected] Received: 15 October 2020; Accepted: 1 December 2020; Published: 4 December 2020 Abstract: The main research issues of the article are the determination of the genesis of theology created in Supernatural and the understanding of ways in which this show transforms a traditional Christian theological narrative. The methodological framework of the article, on the one hand, is the theory of the occulture (C. Partridge), and on the other, the narrative theory proposed in U. Eco’s semiotic model. C. Partridge successfully described modern religious popular culture as a coexistence of abstract Eastern good (the idea of the transcendent Absolute, self-spirituality) and Western personified evil. The ideal confirmation of this thesis is Supernatural, since it was the bricolage game with images of Christian evil that became the cornerstone of its popularity. In the 15 seasons of its existence, Supernatural, conceived as a story of two evil-hunting brothers wrapped in a collection of urban legends, has turned into a global panorama of world demonology while touching on the nature of evil, the world order, theodicy, the image of God, etc. In fact, this show creates a new demonology, angelology, and eschatology. The article states that the narrative topics of Supernatural are based on two themes, i.e., the theology of the spiritual war of the third wave of charismatic Protestantism and the occult outlooks derived from Emmanuel Swedenborg’s system. The main topic of this article is the role of monotheistic mythology in Supernatural.
