1980s Horror Film Character Names

I totally forgot I’d started making this last year! I think I never posted it because I wanted to find more names, but there’s already a decent amount and I don’t feel like being that tedious about names right now lol.

It’s first & last names (separated for mix & match potential) of characters from iconic late 1970s & 1980s horror movies. I think I started looking for cheesier B-movies to pull from, but yeah it’s been a whole year so I forget.

George Challis (David Manning, best known for his westerns under the pseudonym Max Brand, he also created the character Dr. James Kildare.)

[phoneybeatlemania]

John Challis, famously known for his role as Boycie in Only Fools and Horses, discusses meeting the Beatles in 1967.

He auditioned for a role in the Beatles upcoming film Magical Mystery Tour, and later got the role—although he had to give it up since he’d been unavailable on the filming dates.

Challis: I was pretty nervous going in, but I thought well Ive gotta go in with some confidence, y’know. So I went in and George Harrison wasn’t there, and he was my favourite Beatle. And I said rather disappointedly, I said “I thought there were four of you”, and they all looked at each other and John Lennon said, “no George is just a cardboard cutout. We sacked him years ago.”

And anyway, it went on and on and eventually Lennon said, “by the John have you got a favourite Beatles tune?”. Well I said something then that still haunts me to this day, I have to say, because I said, “actually I prefer the Rolling Stones”. Which I did, that was true, wh- when it blurts out of your mouth, y’know, before you’ve suggested to the brain, and you just wanna pick the words up and put them back in their mouth.

Interviewer: And what did they say?

Challis: Well there was a long pause […] I was waiting to be shown the door thinking stupid idiot, and eventually Lennon said, “actually I think you’re right, I prefer ‘em sometimes.”

"PROGRESSIVE CONSERVATIVES REDUCE CABINET SIZE," Porcupine Advance (Timmins). August 26, 1943. Section 2, page 1. ---- Premier George Drew is shown above surrounded by his nine cabinet ministers at their first cabinet meeting last Wednesday in the Cabinet Council room in the Parliament Buildings, at Queen's Park, Toronto. Standing: from left to right: are Hon. Dr. R. P. Vivian, Port Hope physician, who is Minister of Health and Public Welfare; Hon. Charles Daley, St. Catharines, mayor and retail grocer, Minister of Labour: Hon, Leslie E. Blackwell, Toronto lawyer. Attorney-General; Hon. G. II. Doucett, Carleton Place, insurance executive and farmer, Minister of Highways and Public Works; Hon. G. H. Challies, Morrisburg business executive, Minister without portfolio and vice-chairman of the Ontario Hydro Commission; Hon. G. H. Dunbar, Ottawa Business College head, Provincial Secretary and Minister of Municipal Affairs; Hon. W. G. Thompson, Blenheim soy bean grower, Minister of Lands and Forests, and Minister of Game and Fisheries. Flanking Premier Drew are, at left, Hon. T. L. Kennedy, Dixie farmer, Minister of Agriculture, and, right Hon. Leslie M. Frost, Lindsay lawyer, Provincial Treasurer and Minister of Mines. Following his announced policy of economy in the provincial government Premier George Drew has selected a cabinet of only 10 men including himself, as compared with the 14-man Hepburn administration. Rearranging the cabinet positions to make this reduction possible the Premier himself has taken the portfolio of Education along with his other duties.

The office of Minister of Games and Fisheries, formerly administered by the provincial secretary, goes with Lands and Forests: Municipal Affairs, formerly combined with Welfare, goes to Labour, and the portfolio of Mines, formerly a separate post, is under the Treasury. Public Wel- fare remains under the Health Department.

Mr. Drew also abolishes the post of Liquor Board chairman as a cabinet portfolio. A speaker for the legislature is yet to be appointed.

The Premier has announced his intention to appoint special com- mittees to make surveys of the legislative needs of agriculture, labour, education, and the mining industry.

As Minister of Education, Mr Drew is expected to personally direct his program to reduce municipal school taxation by 50%. Social security and rehabilitation will also receive attention, Mr. Drew declaring this problem's solution is "long overdue."

A committee will study the administration of the mines, Mr. Drew has announced, "with the purpose of making adjustments in keeping with the great changes that have taken place in the mining industry in the past few years.

"The first step is to seek adjustment of the present system of taxation on mines and for this reason the portfolio has been placed temporarily under the treasurer," he continued.

Under present arrangements, the Dominion collects the heaviest taxes from the mines without regard to municipalities which perform the great service to them. Studies will be made in other countries.

"The mining industry in Ontario is in an extremely serious situa tion," the Premier said. "Since the war more than half the mines have closed down. Unless steps are taken we may have many ghost towns in the north."

Mr. Drew forecast a regrouping of departments after study is made on "the broad question of administration and organization." The Premier reiterated his statement there will be no "wholesale dismissals" from the civil service as arose when the Hepburn government took office in 1934, but examination is likely of various offices, and when changes are made they will be made in a different manner than under the Liberal administration.

“Flee” is a strong word. The Bible does not tell you to amble, meander, lope, or trot from your sin. It tells you to flee. Fleeing involves effort. It involves straining. It involves speed. You flee when you need to find and experience safety from a threat—a threat like a bear. You flee when it is too dangerous to remain where you are, when standing still would put you in mortal peril. What are we to flee? George Knight points out that “Paul always uses ‘flee’ in relation to particular sins, not sins in general.” His concern, then, is to warn you about those sins that are especially attractive and deadly. ~ Tim Challies

Book Review: Knowing and Enjoying God, by Tim Challies and Jules Koblun

I’m scheduled to speak with graphic artist Jules Koblun LIVE on Instagram, Monday, September 13, 3PM PST. Join us for a conversation about her book!

How can we become more disciplined in our walk with Christ? In Knowing and Enjoying God, Tim Challies and Jules Koblun share words from the wise to inspire and grow your faith.

Get More of God

With graphics by Jules Koblun, this book is beautiful art. Each quote is designed with full-color, high-quality photos. They will cause you to pause and read each word. They will inspire you to think about your Christian walk, and where you can get more of God. Quotes from the saints of the past and present are featured, including George Whitefield, Oswald Chambers, Ligon Duncan, and Keith Getty.

The book is a devotional, with quotes divided into five sections: (1) God Speaks, (2) Habits, (3) We Listen, (4) We Speak, and (5) We Belong. Challies’ 1-page devotionals largely focuses on the spiritual habits of reading Scripture, praying, and participating in the life of the local church. His writing is succinct and clear, and always pointing to Christ. Those who read Challies’ blog will enjoy having his insight in this small and simple book.

Come and See Christ

This book would be perfect to use for your morning devotions as a spring-board into God’s Word. It can also be used in the evening as a way to gather your family around the Gospel. It would make the perfect gift for students who want something visually and theologically stimulating in the middle of the day. This book is a visual treat and theological gem.

As media and technology change around us, it is a joy to see what a single photo with words can do. Wisdom calls us to slow down. To look deeply. To read carefully. Come and see Christ. 

I received a media copy of Knowing and Enjoying God and this is my honest review. Find more of my book reviews and follow Dive In, Dig Deep on Instagram - my account dedicated to Bibles and books to see the beauty of the Bible and the role of reading in the Christian life.

“Burwash Inmates Sent to Hamilton And Chatham Jail,” Toronto Globe. March 2, 1933. Page 1.  ---- Nine in All Transferred From Northern Industrial Farm ---- ROUTINE, SAYS CHALLIES ---- Minister Denies Action Has Any Connection With Smith Case ---- Nine prisoners in all, it was learned last night, were transferred from the Burwash Industrial Farm about one week ago, reportedly as an aftermath there of the probe held recently into the death of Frank Smith, a short-term convict at Burwash, last year. Three of the prisoners were brought to the Don Jail in Toronto, three to Hamilton Jail, and three to the Chatham Jail, it is said. 

The men taken to Hamilton from Burwash one week ago were James Bradley. W. McCrae and Frank Landers. Jail authorities said they were given no information as to why the men were brought from Burwash, or how long they would remain in the jails. Provincial Bailiff Fiske is said to have conveyed the prisoners, accompanied by Provincial Police. His authority was a transfer warrant, and the prisoners were accepted. 

Foolish, Says Challies. Hon. George H. Challies, Provincial Secretary, was asked by The Globe what answer he had to make to the allegation that prisoners were transferred because of their connection with the Smith inquiry. 

"The answer is this," replied Mr. Challies. "The whole thing is foolish.. We are moving prisoners from time to time from one institution to another for administrative, custodian and personal reasons. The transfers have no bearing at all on the Smith case." 

Asked if it was within the jurisdiction of the department to transfer prisoners from reformatories or farms to jails, the Provincial Secretary said: "Yes; we can move prisoners wherever we want to, under the regulations, and when necessity or reason warrants It." 

Denies Intimidation. Sudbury, March 1.- None of the prisoners transferred from Burwash Industrial Farm following the inquiry into the death of Frank Smith, a fellow-convict, were intimidated in any manner, Superintendent Oliver stated today.

The prisoners were first brought to Sudbury District Jail after a fight that arose after a dispute among them over evidence at the investigation. About a week ago they were taken from here for transfer to the Ontario Reformatory at Guelph. today. 

Superintendent Oliver expressed surprise at a report which stated three prisoners had been placed in the Don Jail at Toronto.

"According to instructions we received from Toronto, they were to go to Guelph," he stated, "and we took the proper steps to transfer them. They were never threatened in this institution. That is entirely false." 

Asked if the transfer of the prisoners was to avoid trouble, Mr. Oliver, replied: "It has no special significance. Prisoners are transferred from one institution to the other all the time on instructions from the department."
