I expanded my Fthe13:tm: theme to include other horror series like “Nightmare on Elm Street”, “The Ring”, “The Exorcist”, “Carrie”, & “Scream”. We ran out of time before we could do “Saw”, but in a way, the 3 Pax were trapped by a twisted, maniacal mind for 44.73 minutes.
What surprised me most was that everyone present actively chose to avoid scary movies. So some of the exercise references were met with blank stares. Not the typical “that’s dumb” look, but an additional, “wtf” layered atop it.
Began with a circuit that included:
Carrie’s Revenge
Did You Hear Something?
Chainsaw carry (with sound effects)
Head to the Ring for:
Chainsaw Cuts
Michael Myers Sit-ups
Knife Stabs
Watch Out!
Samara coming out of the TV
Thread the Machete
Partner work
P1 – Camp Crystal Lake Walk
P2 – Exorcist Twists
Ghost Face knife dodge
Freddy’s Leg Slasher

– Dunkin lauded Hatchet & Deadwood as role models for posting down_range. I tried to mention Zinfandel, but he put his finger to my lips, and with full, piercing eye contact, said, “We don’t mention that one.”
