…freak my shit out. Seriously, ever since I saw that Japanese movie Ringu (and no, I don’t acknowledge the American remakes because I’m a snob), I’ve been staying the hell away from pale chicks with long black hair because I’m totally paranoid they’ll turn on me and scratch my eyes out with their long, knife-like talons. I know that might make me sound small-minded and I’m probably depriving myself of their friendship, but I’m sorry. It’s just how I feel. They’re my issues and yes, I’m the one who has to work through them.

Unfortunately, I hang out at the Literature Department on campus where these chicks hang out together in packs, sucking on their cancer sticks and insecurely scratching bigger holes in their fishnet stockings. But this girl makes those chicks look like golden-tanned beach bunnies. Her paleness makes her look almost… translucent. If I have to guess what her deal is, I’ll have to say… Vampire. Duh. What, you think you can get this pale sitting in your parents’ basement playing World of Warcraft? Dream the fuck on, nerd girl!

Anyway, I’m totally freaked out by this cover because you know this bitch will turn around and SHE WON’T HAVE A FACE. Or worse yet, someone (probably her) has scraped off the skin and flesh from her face and what we’ll see is her creepy, grinning skeleton.

Still, I like the stark simplicity of it. It conveys adequate creepiness and nothing detracts from this freaked out paranoid feeling you get from looking at this thing, believing the bitch is gonna turn around and WON’T HAVE A FACE. Or you know, maybe that’s just me. And I’ve been watching way too many Japanese horror movies.
