Winter games 1


During Winter it's fun to play games. I shall make a review of some games and other games all related to Winter. Firstly, a review of a computer game and details with link of a spooky Winter Olympics venue.
Now the computer game is an escape game called Sled Dog Rescue by Games 2 Rule. In that game, you must find clues to solve puzzles, collect missing objects and unlock portals. A dog is trapped in a cage and you need to find the key to release it. The puzzles are vague but clues are found across the level, with some absolutely beautiful wintry landscapes and snowy scenes.
Whilst on topic, there is the abandoned Winter Olympics venue in Sarajevo. The place looks very haunted with age and damage from war. To look at details with photographs of the site go and follow this link: Haunting pictures of the Winter Olympics venue

The Yule Cat


In Iceland there is a legendary creature called the Jólakötturinn or Yule Cat. It's a frightening story to tell children. The legend has it that a giant hissing cat lurks in the shadows of hills, and during Yule, the Yule Cat eats anyone who doesn't get any clothes as presents to wear at Christmas. According to some sources, the origin of the Yule Cat eating people for not wearing new clothes during Christmas comes from times past when people used to get rewarded for doing all of the dirty chores. If people didn't do their chores, they wouldn't get a reward, such as new clothes. So the Yule Cat favoured eating lazy people because not having new clothes meant they didn't get rewarded for doing chores. It's sort of a threat to tell people to do some work or get eaten by the giant Yule Cat. The creepy Yule Cat stares through windows to watch people opening their presents. If people got clothes as presents, the Yule Cat left them alone and move to the next window. Perhaps it observed everyone somehow, because cats are sneaky that way. The Yule Cat enjoyed eating all of the food as well as the poor victim. It's also said that modern people in Iceland are still afraid of the Yule Cat so they buy things such as pyjamas and socks as presents to keep that evil moggy away.

Initiation of Sarah (1978)

This 1978 horror film made for TV was directed by Robert Day. It stars Kay Lenz, Shelley Winters and Morgan Fairchild. Two sisters, Sarah and Patty are eager to join a popular sorority called Alpha Nu Sigma when they start college at the new term. Patty is accepted but the quiet and shy Sarah is turned down but her only option is to join the least favourite Phi Epsilon Delta. The leader of Alpha Nu Sigma is a cruel and beautiful Jennifer that makes fun of Sarah and tries to turn Patty against her. There is much rivalry and the leader of Phi Epsilon Delta is Erica. Sarah uses her telekenesis to strike at anyone who harms her and those she cares about. The entire film focuses on the spiteful nature of Jennifer but is she the sinister one? The film starts off as fresh and cheerful but turns dark.
I give this a 8/10.
Useless fact: The two sisters would've turned into animals but the filmmakers decided not to do it.
