The Samhain Miracle

Campers must band together to deal with a Samhain nightmare at a horror-comics social event, inspiring new forms of creative detention.

To once again lighten up the mood with all this heavy-handed democratic banter about Irish political troubles in Northern Ireland, here's a horror-comics inspired social fable about people working together to bring out the best in American drama! Thanks for reading (signing off),

Sean Collins planned a group hippie forest camping event in October 2020, during the season of Samhain, the Gaelic mystical occult festival surrounding Halloween.

Sean intended to celebrate the popularity of underground Leatherface (Texas Chainsaw Massacre) horror-comics at the forest camping event that Samhain season. He told all his guests whom he invited through email after the Coronavirus quarantine ended.

Sean invited his daughter from Connecticut as well as a group of her Irish Catholic private school girlfriends she thought would be interested in attending to celebrate Samhain.

The cabin where the event took place was near a thick and lush forest in New Jersey with a rustic bridge to cross to get to the actual cabin. Sean thought it was perfect and took hundreds of photos for his Facebook invitation page for the Samhain event that October after the Coronavirus quarantine ended.

Sean had many celebrity friends and decided to invite a handful of them to this art-themed camping experience during Samhain, including James Franco, Ben Affleck, Val Kilmer, and Tobe Hooper.

Val Kilmer couldn't attend but asked if his celebrity pal Jeremy Renner could take his place, and Sean agreed, though he'd have liked Val to have attended, since Val was a big fan of horror-comics and the Leatherface media franchise in America.

Sean also invited a group of very attractive young women who were interested in the Samhain camping experience, and a few of them were West Point graduates. This was therefore an overall iconic American event in the New Jersey forest during the Samhain season. Everyone was therefore quite pleased with the event's overall aesthetics.

One of the guests was a horror-comics artist from Berkeley named Dan Rather. He was an Irish-American whose father was not Irish but whose mother was Irish. Sean met Dan Rather at a Samhain event in northern California and found him to be quite interesting. Though admittedly, Dan turned out to be the biggest eccentric at the Samhain forest gathering in New Jersey that October. Dan had long dreadlocks and was visibly behaving oddly as the guests arrived at the cabin, holding up Leatherface comics and asking everyone if they thought horror was likened to American religion.

One of the celebrity guests, Gerard Butler became frustrated and annoyed with Dan Rather and insisted he calm down with his eccentric Leatherface religious comics presentations in front of everyone. Gerard flashed a fake cop-badge he brought with him to the cabin, something he received/collected during a film-shooting, and showed it to Dan and demanded he stop being a weirdo.

Another guest, horror-comics writer and artist Isaac Satan, an Algerian-American with interests in Samhain and rumored to have underground ties to the P-IRA (Provisional Irish Republican Army) was also upset with Dan Rather's strange behavior and insisted he stop connecting horror-comics with religion. Isaac Satan wanted to gain some resources for media he intended to circulate to the P-IRA in Belfast regarding the marketing of Samhain media in North America for social forums among the Irish Catholic minority in Northern Ireland. Right now, Isaac was just queered by Dan's behavior and wondered if he was sharing Samhain time with a real bad guy.

Anyways, Isaac Satan decided to go to the cabin bathroom and put on his Green Arrow archery Halloween costume and when he reappeared with it on, Dan ran up to him and hugged him and told him he thought he was Leatherface's personal Catholic priest. This was odd too, since Isaac just wanted to look and feel like Green Arrow the regular comic book superhero!

Isaac was interested in Samhain and P-IRA media work as an operative for Irish politics in North America and wanted to use this media/society event sponsored by his Irish-American friend and horror-comics fan Sean Collins to promote general Irish folk-tales in the Western world. He would rather be thinking about Samhain and IRA jewelry than Dan Rather's deviant antics.

However, things went to complete Hell. Dan Rather stood up out of nowhere at the middle of the cabin party on the first night, at about past sunset holding a chainsaw he'd been hiding somewhere in the forest near the cabin somewhere and dressed in a Leatherface skin-mask and suit-costume, right out of the horror-comics and surreal American horror-films. Everyone started screaming, including Gerard Butler and Isaac Satan who were the most displeased throughout the early goings-on of the Samhain gathering by Dan Rather's very anti-social behavior and antics!

Isaac ran to fill his Green Arrow crossbow set with real arrows which he brought with him for display purposes. He began firing his arrows as Dan Rather ('Leatherface') until he struck the psycho in the stomach and neck with two arrows, disorienting the maniac and causing his own buzzing chainsaw to land on his own leg, gashing it. Isaac then turned to the others at the cabin who were still visibly terrified and with his mask on signaled to them that this Samhain nightmare was solved with basic dentistry, thank God.

However, Gerard Butler was not convinced Dan Rather ('Leatherface') was subdued and decided to use a special handy-dandy net-gun he brought with him to the cabin and which was in his parked truck near the cabin to fire a clamping net around Dan's body. Dan had been laying on the ground, and the fired net from Gerard's net-gun further disabled the total Samhain maniac. Gerard turned to Isaac and then suggested that real-life superheroes were miraculously subduing a real-life Leatherface!

A female guest at the Samhain event, a gypsy woman named Rose, kissed and thanked Isaac and Gerard and lit a thankful Samhain candle in front of everyone and shed a tear for the psychologically deformed Dan Rather who lay writing on the ground.

The net-gun Gerard used turned out to be a terrific asset in this shocking Leatherface 'battle' during what was to otherwise be a terrific Samhain Leatherface horror-comics forest event in New Jersey following the Coronavirus quarantine. The net-gun was a real light in a time of a real pickle!

Ben Affleck then tied up Dan Rather and carried him to the police station near the cabin where he told the authorities and the resident psychiatrist that they'd nabbed a horror-comics fanatic claiming to be Leatherface. Affleck knew Samhain wouldn't be destroyed by Leatherface. He then drove back to Sean's cabin.

Sean Collins decided to have a horror-comics artist commissioned to pen a series of forest-camping Samhain stories about a group of vigilant individuals working together to stop a real-life horror-show maniac claiming to be a manifested mystical superhuman monster. The comic book series inspired a video-game about combatants tackling ghoulish deformed human dolls. This was ironically profitable Samhain marketing.

Samhain was miraculously saved, and everyone thought of the magic of horror-comics and Isaac Satan thought about the angels of Northern Ireland again.

Ben Affleck decided to ask a movie-producer if he should create some dramatization of this Samhain tragedy in his newest Daredevil comic book film. It would, after all, be positive Samhain design.

Perhaps such a Samhain miracle would result in the symbolic net-gun becoming more canonical in American law enforcement...or perhaps a dioramic IRA joke!

If you're a fan of horror-comics, Samhain, and/or Halloween, consider the ways you can champion new age social thinking towards the positivity of socialized dreams! Why do we Americans love theater so much?

Sean Collins gained a surprising newfound spiritual respect for comic book art, especially Irish comic book avatars!

ISAAC SATAN: I personally believe Leatherface is still out there, and the P-IRA won't stop until he's brought to justice. This is America, after all, and Americans love the dollars of basic destiny!
