Elizabeth has dramas that she creates with her Littlest Pet Shop toys. Murder mysteries I think. She actually has scripts I have found with dialogue for the characters and scene descriptions and directions for the actors.
She is trying to find the perfect fake movie blood for her special effects. She has tried lipstick and ketchup the most. She even has an old toothbrush labeled "LPS LS/KET" for the cleanup. She has been begging me to let her make the blood recipe with corn syrup. Maybe when we get back from visiting family in Burns.
Even when she was little (we are talking like 2 or 3) she was fascinated with scary movies. She would disappear around the corner at the local movie rental store and come back with a dvd of some scary movie and say "look mommy, scaaaree. Can we get it?"
She has been researching classic scary movie music to use in her movies (Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho to name one) and has since had a renewed need to have someone at home with her at all times, and asks me each night if I have securely locked up the house. Gotta hand it to the classics to set the right mood.
I have been telling her and Hannah that they need to team up and do a book someday. But who knows, maybe they will end up making movies together.
Emma's pet shops have wars. I think she's watched too many of Spencer's Star Wars movies ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd good luck with the fake blood!
As for scary music... the Jaws theme song still gets me. Actually, there are several John Williams songs that have a rather creepy feel to them!
