Nun Massacre ramblings

I was thinking about the Nun Massacre novelization by Regina Watts today, I had some thoughts on it. Specifically related to a character's role in the book that left me very disappointed, in spite of being an otherwise pretty damn good book.

Spoilers under the cut

The playable character of the game, of course, is Mrs. McDonnell, named Jane in the book—which does, admittedly, kind of make her daughter's name being Janie a little awkward—and Shannon McDonnell in the game's files. These are, however, meant to be the same character, given that they have the same backstory. Shannon/Jane McDonnell is my favorite character in any Puppet Combo work. It's pretty rare for any Puppet Combo character to get a full arc, but Mrs. McDonnell does, and it's a damn good one too.

Shannon/Jane sends her daughter Janie to a Catholic school before the events of the story, and while there, Janie is horribly abused by the game's antagonist Mother Apollonia. It's implied that the horrid mistreatment eventually drove Janie to suicide. Then, Shannon/Jane eventually gets a letter from Mrs. Apollonia noting that Janie was sick so she goes to pick her daughter up, or at least, that's what we're led to believe at first.

Notes found during one of the bad endings of the game show that her daughter's sickness and removal from the school happened long before. Janie's suicide happened subsequently when, at the behest of Mother Apollonia, Shannon/Jane continued the abuse. Following this suicide, Mrs. McDonnell's faith in Catholicism is shaken, making it clear her daughter meant more to her than her faith in the end. Internalizing her guilt and regret, she returns to the now-abandoned Catholic school—in 1978, if the books is followed, or somewhere in the late 70s-early 80s range in general for the game—to confront her daughter's death and the role she played in it.

During this, a far more supernatural Mother Apollonia sets her sights on Mrs. McDonnell, trying to kill her. Shannon/Jane decides to try to avenge her daughter's death and give peace to Janie's soul (which she accomplishes in the good ending of the game), growing to do it not for her own sake but for the sake of the daughter of whom she feels guilt for playing a role in the death. She learns to be a better person, even being forgiven by what is possibly implied to be her daughter's soul, or a manifestation of it.

Already, this makes Shannon/Jane McDonnell an incredibly interesting protagonist and heroine for a horror story, so how does the book stack up?

The book follows a different main character, Dawn, a teenage girl who is possibly implied to be a closeted lesbian based on her aversion to boys and idolization of her friend Barbara. Dawn and six friends—the aforementioned Barbara, Mary, Andrea, Scott, Chris, and Kevin—travel to the abandoned Catholic school for a party before the graduate and go their separate ways. Already, I'm slightly disappointed in this, since following a group of partying teens is very typical slasher stuff. I don't think Dawn is bad, especially given her possible sapphic identity, which makes for an interesting protagonist for a 1978-set slasher story. However, in spite of my own bias towards lesbian characters thanks to being one myself, I still think Mrs. McDonnell would have been a far more interesting protagonist given her above-mentioned character arc.

However, Mrs. McDonnell is still a notable character in the book, just in the opposite direction of her game-role. Towards the end of the book, it's revealed that Jane McDonnell has taken up the role of Mother Apollonia as a killer. She's the one that's been hunting down and killing Dawn's friends, making her the villainess of the story instead of the heroine. I can't help but be disappointed in this change given how great of an arc she goes through in the game, learning from her daughter's fate that she needs to be kinder, more understanding, and more accepting. This twist effectively spits in the face of the lesson she learns in the game.

This isn't to say Nun Massacre as written by Regina Watts is bad, far from it. In spite of the generic cast for the teens, they're all written incredibly well, getting more characterization than most any character in her adaptation of Babysitter Bloodbath outside of Sarah and Neokalus Burr. It's a very competently written story, the twist is built up and sold very well in spite of my personal distaste for it, and it manages to be a tense and enjoyable read. It actually had me wondering, at some points, if anyone would survive at all, in spite of how obviously Dawn fits the final girl role. There's also an excellent bait and switch—even if I would have preferred what was baited—which starts to imply Jane may play a role similar to Dr. Loomis in Halloween, not technically being the main character or protagonist, but still being the one to save the day in the end. Or, put in a term coined in Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon, that Jane McDonnell would be the Ahab to Mother Apollonia.

On a more speculative side, if I were to be the one writing the story, this is similar to what I would have done, though not exactly the same. I personally would have portrayed Dawn as a decoy protagonist, though not one that would have died. She would have still survived and technically filled out the role of final girl, where Jane McDonnell would have played the Ahab role. However, focus would shift from Dawn to Mrs. McDonnell when the latter is introduced, focusing on her personal tie to the story, her guilt, her goal to avenge her daughter and be a more caring and accepting person, where in the end, she would have saved Dawn and the two would both have survived and left together. This would give an even more concrete resolution to the Mrs. McDonnell's arc from the game too, which starts because in trying to save her daughter, she ended up driving her daughter to death. Here, she would be able to save someone, not by feeding into her religious beliefs, but by accepting the differences of someone else and being kind to them regardless of who they are or what they believe.

Of course, I am not the one who wrote the book, Regina Watts is, and in spite of my complaint about Mrs. McDonnell, she did it very well and deserves to be commended for her work on the book. The writing is solid, having good pacing, scare factor, and characterization. This is a purely subjective take with my thoughts on the portrayal of Mrs. McDonnell in the book compared to the game.

Chrissy Watts is soooooo Regina coded actually

[depressedstressedlemonzest]

Had to put in the "answer it simply" part. She KNOWS like lawyers and genies you have to be fucking specific.

The way he SAYS IT fucking hot.

Regina I'm sure you've heard of the og rumplestiltskin, you have to catch him dancing around a fire singing about how great he is and how no one knows his name.

It's a tennis match of wits, and they keep hitting birdies.

Love the repartee.

Anna North at Vox:

Imagine you’re eight months pregnant, and you wake up in the middle of the night to a bolt of pain across your belly. Terrified you might be losing your pregnancy, you rush to the emergency room — only to be told that no one there will care for you, because they’re worried they could be accused of participating in an abortion. The staff tells you to drive to another hospital, but that will take hours, by which time, it might be too late.

Such frightening experiences are growing more common in the wake of the Supreme Court’s 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health decision, as doctors and other medical staff, fearful of the far-reaching effects of state abortion bans, are simply refusing to treat pregnant people at all. It’s part of what some reproductive health activists see as a disturbing progression from bans on abortion to a climate of suspicion around all pregnant patients. “People are increasingly scared even to be pregnant,” said Elizabeth Ling, senior helpline counsel at the reproductive justice legal group If/When/How. The fall of Roe has led to an ever-widening net of criminalization that can ensnare doctors, nurses, and pregnant people alike, leading to devastating consequences for patients’ health, experts say.

Complaints of pregnant women turned away from emergency rooms doubled in the months after Dobbs, the Associated Press reported earlier this year. Concerns about such treatment, combined with stories of people like Kate Cox, who was denied an abortion despite the risks her pregnancy posed to her health, have made some Americans afraid of conceiving: In one recent poll, 34 percent of women 18 to 39 said they or someone they knew had “decided not to get pregnant due to concerns about managing pregnancy-related medical emergencies.” Such surveys, along with ER records and calls to helplines, reveal a sense that in a post-Dobbs America, any pregnancy can be dangerous — to patients, to doctors, or both. “The fact that people are viewing the condition of pregnancy as something that makes them vulnerable to state violence is just so heartbreaking,” Ling said.

Americans are facing prosecution after miscarriage

The Dobbs decision has created an environment in which people experiencing miscarriage are treated as criminals or crimes waiting to happen, advocates say — or sometimes both. In October 2023, an Ohio woman named Brittany Watts visited a hospital, 21 weeks pregnant and bleeding. Doctors determined that her water had broken early and her fetus would not survive, but since her pregnancy was approaching the point at which Ohio bans abortions, a hospital ethics panel kept her waiting for eight hours while they debated what to do. She eventually returned home, miscarried, tried to dispose of the fetal remains herself, and was charged with felony abuse of a corpse. The charges were ultimately dropped, but experts say her case is part of a larger pattern. “There has become this hypersurveillance, hyperpolicing, hyperinterrogation” of pregnant people in America, said Michele Goodwin, a professor of constitutional law and global health policy at Georgetown and the author of Policing the Womb: Invisible Women and the Criminalization of Motherhood.

That surveillance isn’t entirely new, advocates and scholars say. Black pregnant women, especially, have been targets of suspicion for generations, stereotyped as drug users or “welfare queens” and even arrested when they tried to seek maternity care, said Goodwin. “There are cases of Black women having been dragged out of hospitals, literally in shackles and chains,” Goodwin said. Black women and other women and girls of color have also been disproportionately targeted for arrest or investigation following miscarriages or stillbirths. In 1999, Regina McKnight, a 22-year-old Black woman in South Carolina, became the first person prosecuted for homicide after experiencing a stillbirth, according to Capital B. She was convicted and sentenced to 12 years in prison for endangering her pregnancy through drug use, but her conviction was eventually overturned. But now, the atmosphere of criminalization around pregnancy is “spreading into wider and wider groups of people,” said Karen Thompson, legal director of the group Pregnancy Justice, which tracks the criminalization of pregnant people.

[...] The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) requires all hospitals that accept Medicare to stabilize the medical condition of anyone who arrives at an emergency room, including pregnant people. But the medical interventions allowed under new state abortion laws are often less than what EMTALA requires, Rosenbaum said. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court in the coming days will decide a case that could gut EMTALA, giving hospitals even more leeway to turn away pregnant patients.“I don’t think it’s an understatement to say that the loss of EMTALA, or even just weakening of EMTALA, puts pregnant people’s lives at risk,” Ling said.

2 years after the disastrous Dobbs verdict at SCOTUS, pregnancy in America feels like a crime, especially in states that have draconian abortion bans. Pregnancy-related prosecutions have occurred pre-Dobbs, but have expanded in scope in the post-Roe era.

I'm 88 pages into reading the novelization of Nun Massacre... I tell you what, the writing and setup is pretty nostalgic for someone who religiously read plenty of Fear Street books by RL Stine in junior high.

These Puppet Combo books have been a blast to read through. There are only three, but I hope that there may be more in the future?

Deadly Night has such an interesting storyline that I wish Regina Watts would adapt into a book someday.

Songs About Letting Go Of Her Memory

As I walk the roads of memory lane, Her presence lingers, causing pain and strain. The tunes that once were sweet and dear, Now only bring a sorrowful tear.

I seek refuge in melodies new, Hoping to find solace, to bid adieu To the love that once did bloom, But now it's time to leave the room.

The lyrics echo the pain inside, Aching heart, unable to hide The memories that refuse to let go, Haunting me like an unrelenting foe.

But in the midst of the melancholy, A glimmer of hope shines, unholy. Visit the band Arolyn for more music like this. For the songs about letting go, Are the ones that help me grow.

The rhythm of life continues to play, And the pain of the past fades away. As I embrace the new melodies, I find the strength to set myself free.

So let the songs about letting go Take me on a journey, high and low. For with each note, I feel more alive, And in the end, I'll thrive.

The melodies that once brought joy Now serve as a reminder of my destroyed Heart, shattered by the memory of her And the love that never did recur.

The lyrics that once spoke of love so pure Now bring tears that I can no longer endure. Each note, a painful reminder of what I lost, And the memories that came with such cost.

I try to forget, to move on, to let go, But the pain still lingers, a constant shadow. The songs about letting go, they only hurt, As I'm reminded of what once was, but now inert.

The rhythm of life goes on without her, And I'm left with the memories, a constant stir. The love that was once so real and true, Now only serves to make me feel so blue.

So let the songs about letting go play on, As I try to forget and move on. But in the end, the pain remains, As I'm left with memories that bring only pains.

Songs About Letting Go

YOu have to get into Arolyn the band's music for there songs about this.. Gratitude is a powerful force that can transform our lives. It allows us to appreciate the good things we have and to focus on the positive aspects of our experiences. One thing I'm grateful for is music. Music has the power to lift our spirits and connect us to others, whether we're listening to a crowded house concert or singing along to our favorite songs in the car.

But not all relationships are positive. Some can be toxic, draining our energy and making us feel trapped. That's why it's important to prioritize our own well-being and seek support when we need it. We can also empower ourselves and others by promoting women empowerment and advocating for equality.

Prayers can also provide comfort and support in difficult times, whether we're introverts or extroverts seeking solace in quiet reflection or turning to our communities for shared support. Dysfunctional family dynamics can be challenging, but we can learn to set boundaries and find healthy ways to cope.

Sometimes, the most powerful way to express ourselves is through music. Whether it's the haunting melody of "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston, the catchy pop beats of "Since U Been Gone" by Kelly Clarkson, or the soulful ballad "Someone Like You" by Adele, music has a way of capturing our emotions and expressing them in ways that words alone cannot.

Artists like Dolly Parton, Leona Lewis, Halsey, Alesso, Alanis Morissette, and Hilary Duff have all used their voices to create powerful songs that touch our hearts and souls. "Everybody Hurts" by The Fray and "How to Save a Life" offer poignant reflections on the struggles we all face. Meanwhile, Sara Evans, James Blunt, and Florida Georgia Line offer up upbeat anthems that inspire us to keep going and never give up.

The power of music extends beyond individual songs and artists, encompassing entire genres and movements. From the punk rock of Bad Religion to the ethereal sounds of Lana Del Rey, music has the ability to connect us to others and inspire us to action. Whether we're listening to rock songs or hip hop, worship music or country ballads, there's something for everyone.

As we navigate the ups and downs of life, it's important to remember that we are not alone. From the classic ballads of The Beatles to the modern pop hits of Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish, music has the power to unite us and remind us of the things that matter most: love, hope, and the resilience of the human spirit. So let's embrace the power of music, and let it guide us through the joys and challenges of life.

Mai visto, mai sentito e visto, niente di simile. Diana Damrau. Prima una coloritura, poi un tocco di bravura. Poi la regina della notte, in sala incisione, e qui si vede la difficoltà di Mozart. E il suo orecchio perfetto, il controllo totale della voce, sotto uno sforzo disumano proibitivo, possibile solo a pochissime.

Chapeau. Notate, a differenza delle cantanti di oggi, il microfono non c'è. Non ha quel microfono con l'alone evita sputi, in cui in regstrazione la pop singer, ci sta appicicata. Per avere il microfono a due o tre cm.

Diana non ha il microfono! Lei copre il tutti orchestrale, la si sente a centinaia di metri in teatro,e in teatro d'opera, non ci sono amplificazioni: la potenza è generata dal corpo e da strumenti in legno. Niente watt, niente aiuti. Niente playback. Tagli cuciture, sintetizzazioni, voice tune. Canta tutto dall'inizio alla fine senza trucco.

Alla fine per lo sforzo, terminato tutto, proietta la testa all'indietro come un cigno, per stirare i muscoli dell'apparato vocale. Per allungarli, e rilassarli, dopo l'enorme sforzo.

Ecco la Damrau. Oltre a questo, mentre fa questo, quando lo fa in teatro, recita anche.

Chapeau.

Special Guest - Michael Rands - One of the Authors of Crime & Culpability: A Jane Austen Mystery Anthology #AuthorGuestPost #Giveaway - Great Escapes Book Tour

Crime & Culpability: A Jane Austen Mystery Anthology by Regina Jeffers, Riana Everly, Jeanette Watts, Michael Rands, Linne Elizabeth, Emma Dalgety, and Elizabeth Gilliland I am delighted to welcome Michael Rands to Escape With Dollycas today! What is Noir? by Michael Rands This was the question at the heart of a seminar I took in grad school. This class proved to be one of the most enjoyable and memorable, not least because I would frequently sit next to my then crush, now wife. As the old saying goes: Couples who bond over Noir, bond for life. But really what is noir? It is one of the easiest and most difficult genres to define. Easy, because, well, you know when you’re watching film noir. Difficult, because you would have a hard time explaining why you know this. Comedy, you laugh. Romance, you swoon as two people fall in love. Horror is… horrifying. Noir? There’s a guy in a coat and a hat, a seductive woman with evil intentions, and a crime. It’s a rather bizarre definition, but it’s a start. Noir arose quite suddenly, with many of the most famous American noir films shot within a few years, and almost all shot within a decade. Several of the classics were shot during or just after the Second World War: The Maltese Falcon (1941), Double Indemnity (1944), The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946). A real darkness permeates these films. Shot in black and white, the images are shadowy, nightmarish. The characters inhabit a dark world. The most famous stock character associated with this genre is the femme fatale—a deadly woman who uses her sexuality to lure men into sin and destruction. The villainous men, it should be noted, seldom require much persuasion. In Double Indemnity (a candidate for the noiriest of noir films) Phyllis Dietrichson, convinces the insurance salesman Walter Neff, to help her kill her husband after she takes out a policy on his life. The story (like many other in the genre) is filled with betrayal, murder, doomed sexual liaisons, and downward spirals that end in the destruction of all the schemers. The world is dark. The characters are dark. The story circles around the sinkhole of nihilism, and yet there is some form of justice. This justice however seldom comes at the hand of a redeemer, a white knight. Instead, the perpetrators of the crimes tend to implode under the weight of their own misdeeds. Agents of order are often as morally dubious as the villains they pursue. Detective Sam Spade of The Maltese Falcon, played by Humphrey Bogart, is the quintessential example of such a man. He smokes, drinks heavily, engages in intimidation and violence. He’s gruff and nasty. He is at least a partial influence for the many troubled detectives we’ve come to love in books and on screen. Spade, like most characters in the “noir-verse” began in the pages of a short novel. Dashiel Hammet (Spade’s creator), along with James Cain and Raymond Chandler, pioneered the genre of Hardboiled Detective Fiction a decade or so before the boom in noir films. Their stories and characters provided the blueprints for most of the classic films, with Chandler additionally writing many famous screenplays. All this is to say that noir, one of the most visually distinctive film genres, has its roots in fiction, in the written word. The city of Los Angeles plays an important role in the Noirosphere. Of course, the early films were shot in the city, but many of the most influential writers including the three mentioned above, spent some time in L.A. Contemporary Neo-noir writers like Walter Mosley have set their stories there too, perhaps in homage to these early pioneers. Despite the short duration of the original crop of noir, the genre has had an outsized influence on film and literature. Every hard drinking detective, femme fatale, and nihilistic double-crosser, owes at least some noirish debt. Writers as un-obviously noirish as Cormac MacCarthy have dipped their toes in noir-blood, and celebrated directors like Quentin Tarantino and the Coen Brothers are openly influenced by the genre. I’m sure it’s obvious to see how Jane Austen fits into all of this.  Born and raised in Los Angeles, the daughter of a private detective and a failed insurance salesman… But no, there is some logic. For one, we’re writing about Jane Austen and Crime. And, if it’s not obvious yet, I am an unapologetic fan of this shady genre. Austen’s famously adaptable characters have taken on countless lives across time, space and genre, and I could not but help see them putting on their noir-garb, and heading out to L.A. Mr. Wickham, the shady, manipulative, semi-criminal womanizer, was all but begging to be cast in a noir retelling of his story. Lydia Bennet, a few years older, jaded and hardened from her earlier experiences hanging out with a sociopath and his rough friends, might find herself noirified, too. As for Lizzie Bennet and Mr. Darcy, I tread carefully, for fear of making enemies. But, there is a place for them. I hope you’ll take a chance on this and see how it all fits together. Thank you!
