HEY YOU, YA YOU, PUNK!
i feel EXTREMELY late to doing an introduction... so. here goes nothing...
hello, as you may already know my name is jamezz or just james, i'm a redheaded, mush brained, teenaged metalhead who has a bit of an obsession with thrash metal, the 80s and metal culture. i play guitar and bass and i'm slowly learning how to PROPERLY sing without fuckin dying, i've been playing guitar for about 2 years now and bass for a couple of months.
more info on me BELOW the cut.
MORE INFO:
BIGGEST OBSESSIONS:
expect posts surrounding the topic of...
megadeth
metallica (mainly the 80s)
80s culture in general
space
retro video games
vinyl/cd collecting
dave mustaine (wow who knew)
anything to do with metal/rock (UNLESS IM NOT FOND OF IT)
making gifs
reading
drawing
writing
human anatomy
aliens...
there's a lot more but that's the most important ones
some of my favourite bands:
megadeth
metallica
misfits
pantera
anthrax
judas priest
slayer
iron maiden
venom
korn
dio
limp bizkit
slipknot
godsmack
suicidal tendencies
nirvana
guns n' roses
alice in chains
danzig
and... once again. A LOT more.
boundaries below.
BOUNDARIES:
i only want interaction with people here ABOVE 13, i like, DON'T want literal children looking at the shit i post because some of it is.. rather... um. questionable.
please be respectful with things you send in my asks like dawg, i had someone hitting on me once in my asks... um that was AWKWARD.
if you ever repost my gifs or use my gifs that i've claimed are MINE, please credit me or whatever because sometimes these gifs take a lot of effort to get out there.
don't be overly SEXUAL with your asks if you're asking me to write something for you as some of that stuff... grosses me out.
just... don't be weird (you can see i'm running out of ideas for boundaries)
don't spam my asks, if i don't answer right away... just be patient, i'm not as active as i used to be on here so, don't expect a response in a millisecond or so.
anyway, moving on from my boundaries... i'm just gonna link a couple of things below
my carrd
my spotify
my youtube
everything else is linked on my carrd!!!
um... thank you for your time and getting to know me!

Beloved, I am shaking like a rat dog, PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT YOU MEAN ABOUT VECNA AND THE PHANTOM I AM AQUIVER WITH ANTICIPATION
Oh, my darling wife, I am so glad you asked!
It all starts in the year 1986, when Jill Schoelen is cast as Mary in Babes in Toyland. And yes, I DO mean the terrible Babes in Toyland movie I own on VHS. The one where Keanu Reeves and Drew Barrymore perform an entire musical number about how much they love being from Cincinnati, Ohio while inside a moving Jeep.
The one where Mr. Miyagi is Santa Claus. That one.
Anyway, Jill Schoelen is now a certified screen presence, and she has the legitimacy of working with Reeves and Barrymore (who are still stars on the rise in the late 80's and early 90's). She also happens to have a pretty solid singing voice, as demonstrated in BITL.
So 1989 rolls along and Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera is the latest American pop culture hit. After two years of drawing enormous crowds on London's West End stage, the show finally opens on Broadway in 1988. Hoping to cash in on the Phantom-nomenon and hook a wider teen audience, the writers and producers turned it into A SLASHER FILM!
Starring Jill Schoelen as Christine Day and Robert Englund as the mysterious (perhaps murderous) composer Erik Destler, this version of Phantom uses a modern-day frame narrative to play with Gaston LeRoux's original horror themes.
Honestly, if it weren't so terribly produced and awkwardly acted, this could have been a pretty solid B-horror movie. As it stands, 1989's Phantom of the Opera is one of my favorite Disasterpieces.
While this movie was very much hoping to capitalize on Englund's popularity (and the highest grossing Nightmare on Elm Street movie to date, 1988's Nightmare 4: The Dream Master) it failed spectacularly. With 5.5 on IMDB and 33% on Rotten Tomatoes... it's bad.
Fun Fact: The lead investigator in Phantom is named Inspector Hawkins.
But the major floppage of his opera slasher put zero dents in Englund's career. He went on to sell out two more Freddy movies before moving on to other roles... including Victor Creel in Season 4 of Stranger Things.
Anyway, Vecna's Dad is the Phantom of the Opera.

Pictures of my dad being peak metalhead in Kansas City.
He was the crowd entertainment outside this haunted house circa 1986 (he did this for YEARS but this picture made the paper)
Literally just a casual Friday night house party. He said it took nearly half a can of hair spray and over an hour to do this. He kept it bleached white all the time so he could kool-aid dip it different colors whenever he wanted
My mom and dad's wedding in the early 90s. Love those matching perms, guys. No one had short hair at this wedding. Even the ring bearer had a shoulder length mullet.
