&#8220;Scares That Care!” is a not-for-profit organization that provides money, toys and other items to help sick children.</p>
<p>Led by horror film director and retired police officer Joe Ripple, this benefit will utilize the fan base of the horror, haunt and Halloween genres to raise funds and awareness for sick children in need. We plan to have a GREAT time holding benefits, by showing films, having silent auctions and maybe getting lucky enough to have a few celebrity appearances along the way. Our success depends upon YOU.</p>
<p>To date, we have raised a minimum of $10,000.00 for both the Johns Hopkins Children’s Cancer Center, and The Kennedy-Krieger Institute!&#8221;<br />
&#8220;The FIGHT Continues! For 2011 we are raising money for the kids at the “Make-A-Wish” Foundation!&#8221;</p>

<p>Now that I have your attention, I&#8217;d like to share with you my thoughts on the series that has swept across the nation practically overnight, blowing the minds of adolescent girls and boys everywhere! Keep in mind this is an opinion-based column and straight out of my extended imagination.</p>
<p>I am inspired to write this column while in the wonderful and mysterious city of New Orleans at Lafitte&#8217;s Blacksmith Shop: home of awful customer service, but incredible Voodoo Slushes!<a href="http://screamtv.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/New-Orleans.jpeg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-450 colorbox-449" title="New Orleans" src="http://screamtv.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/New-Orleans.jpeg" alt="" width="373" height="210" /></a> As far as I am concerned, there is no other city that can portray and capture the unique beauty and magic of the occult quite the way that New Orleans does. If you are fascinated by dark history, vampire folklore, and restless spirits, then New Orleans will feed your soul and leave you thirsty for more history lessons.<span id="more-449"></span></p>
<p>Now lets talk about Twilight. What is unique about the film is its equal appeal to women of all ages; not just teenagers. Its even peaked the curiosity of most men *Due to a testosterone overbalance, most men are not about to admit to this fact*.</p>
<p>Lets discuss the characters America is so obsessed with: Edward. Edward is our vampire. He&#8217;s beautiful, sensitive, gentle, smart, charming, and most importantly, romantic.</p>
<p>Jacob is our werewolf. Ridiculously strong, honest, emotional, not bad to look at at all, persistent, and humanistic.</p>
<p>Bella&#8230;.that poor girl! Depressed, needy, negative, insecure, and a bit fashion-challenged. How in the world did she get not just one, but TWO men to fall in love with her?</p>
<p>In regards to the storyline, its lack of originallity is dissapointing, but nevertheless its grip on the world and humankind alike is pretty darned impressive.</p>
<p>The author, Stephenie Meyer, has created the perfect scenario: Edward + Jacob = The perfect man. Now think about it: If you could combine the two characters together, the dynamic would be powerful. This man could do no wrong; when Jacob is agressive, Edward is sensitive. When Jacob is ignorant, Edward swoops in with his inteligence and life experience.<a href="http://screamtv.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Twilight-cast.jpeg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-451 colorbox-449" title="Twilight cast" src="http://screamtv.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Twilight-cast.jpeg" alt="" width="261" height="193" /></a> Where Edward lacks passion, Jacob provides enough passion for the whole cast. Jacob provides stability and Edward creates fantasy. How could a woman say no or resist this type of combined unusual charm?</p>
<p>What is even more genius is Bella&#8217;s character. The girl is so boring and uninspiring.This leads the average girl/woman to feel confident that perhaps a Jacob/Edward exists and will find us. In a world full of one or the other, but never both of these men at the same time, this idea is refreshing and new. And more importantly, it is an idea that women need right now. Romance in this age and time is unfortunately a dying art: Text message dating, late night calls, and a non tactful flirting method involving vodka has replaced the traditional courting that existed so long ago. To be courted by a man was the ultimate compliment. A feeling like no other: It was someone saying &#8220;You&#8217;re special to me. You&#8217;re beautiful to me. You deserve respect and recognition. I pick you&#8221;</p>
<p>With today&#8217;s dating scene, men are so afraid to make a move and choose one woman while at the same time women are scared to settle on one man for fear of missing something. Now if she had a Jacob/Edward combo, everything would be there for her: love, romance, security, strength, respect, and something to look at (these men are delicious to look at by most popular standards).</p>
<p>In the end, I would have preferred some sort of morphing of the two characters and maybe Bella&#8217;s unfortunate death, thereby releasing the world of her presence and lack of personality. If women were more confident, honorable, and secure, movies like Twilight never would have been written and fans would not be getting fake fangs put on their permanent teeth in order to fit in to this unreal world.</p>
