Hello there :D I just watched The Hills Have Eyes for the first time a few days ago, and now I'm really into it. (I was too much of a chicken to watch it previously D':)

I'm a typical fangirl who yanks innocent characters out of movies/series and plops them into pairings, and as I was watching the end of the movie the pairing Lizard/Doug popped into my head. And I was wondering if anyone had imagined this prior to me or not? .3.' And if so, does anyone have any material of this, by chance? Fanart, fanfics, icons, anything. I'll take what I can get xD;

Thanks, and great community you have here 8D;

(ps. Sorry I don't have any THHE icons in use. I just lost my paid account and I can't upload any more icons ;; )

The Doug fanlisting is now up and running.

I just got accepted to run the fanlisting for the character Doug from The Hills Have Eyes and I'm trying to think up a name for the fanlisting. Anyone have any suggestions?

I met Aaron for the second time at the first screening of The Cake Eaters at the Tribeca Film Festival.  He didn't appear to be tired like last time.  He had more energy and he paid attention to what I had to say.  I told him, "You're the best actor of your generation," and he was shocked.  He said, "Wow, I'll take that."  He introduced me to the director of Tadpole and Gary Winick asked me if I saw all of Aaron's films.  I told him, "I try," but I missed Flakes because I coouldn't make it to Texas.  There was much regret in my voice.  Aaron said it was okay.  Mr. Winick also asked me what I thought of Aaron in Tadpole and I said, "cute."  Really, it was the first thing that popped into my mind.  He's so young there and now . . . he's just all grown up.  I forgot to mention that the movie always cheers me up.  Winick said Flakes is coming to a film festival in Nantucket.  He also took the picture of me and Aaron.

I asked Aaron about the breakdown scene in the kitchen in Runaway.  I asked him, "How did you know what it feels like because that's exactly what it feels like?"  He said he didn't know, it just came to him, and he just went for it.  He also joked - spoiler - that he hoped I didn't take a shotgun to my parents.  I told him, "Of course not."  I didn't mention it was my grandfather and not my parents.

When asked about his character Beagle (from The Cake Eaters) being a boy trapped inside a man's body, Aaron said he felt his character was an outsider and that the love story was nice because it was two people who found each other they belong with.  He also joked that the guy asking the question just wrote an essay.  It was a pretty complex question.  Aaron spent his time on stage with his head lowered and his hands in his pockets or folded across his chest.

I shook his hand; he has a gentle handshake, and he asked me my name.  I told him, "Tara," and he said it was nice meeting me and, "Thank you."  Aaron is very cute, both in an endearing and attractive way.  He was wearing a cozy black sweater that was very soft.

My second meeting with Aaron was at the second screening.  He didn't come to the third or fourth screening.  It was the same way two years ago with Runaway.  I said, "Hi, I met you yesterday."  He said, "I remember."  I told him I forgot to ask him if he could sign this piece of paper I had with me.  He asked me my name and personalized it, "To Tara, Thanks for being a fan.  Aaron Stanford. - Pyro-."  I asked him to write Pyro underneath it.  I told him I really wanted to see him kick Iceman's ass.  He said, "I'm sorry that didn't happen for you."  I also asked him when Standing Still was coming to US DVD because "I really like that movie."  He said, "never" and that they don't tell him those things.  I also took another picture with him.  He was very generous with his time.  In the end he said, "Thanks for coming, Tara."

Meeting Aaron was one of the best moments in my life aside from meeting Julie Benz, Vincent Kartheiser, and Christopher Walken.  I also got to meet Eliza Dushku at the Nobel Son screening - all hail Faith the Vampire Slayer.

I did get to talk to the lovely Mary Stuart Masterson who is like an eighties icon to me ever since her portrayl of Watts in Some Kind of Wonderful with Eric Stoltz and Leah Thompson.  She said Eric Stoltz was a nice guy, serious, and fun.  She defined art as "organized chaos."  She also said, " auditioning is never fun - that's life."  I asked her how she cast the part of Beagle and she said she knew Aaron's work and she also knew Gary Winick.  She met with Aaron, talked; he read the script and completely understood it.  She called him a "good actor."  She compares him to Charlie Chaplin, that he's subtle like Chaplin and physical like him.

What I love about Aaron - he's super talented, but he's so casual and such a great, nice guy.

If anyone's interested in my first meeting with Aaron you can read it in my live journal.

New to the community, so hi! :D
Decided to post this drawing of Lizard (<33) here.

Lizard (c) THHEs

Trust me, the picture would've been better if it was on paper with pencil. I drew this on photoshop using a tablet.

More fanart laters~

Wah, THHE2 sucked, just as I thought it would. Reasons why under the cut. There are definite SPOILERS there so if you don't wanna know, don't read it.

Was there anything good about this movie? Yes, but barely and is behind the cut.

Meh... thhe_fanfic has no traffic and I'd really appreciate feedback on my fanfiction, so here's 3 I've recently written. Fake LJ-cuts.

I went to WonderCon on Sunday and you may know how at conventions they give you a sort of booklet with where everything is and special guests and so on. Well, this was on the back of it:


If you notice, in the top left corner it announces there will be a THHE graphic novel coming out later this year. I am very excited.

And just if anyone's wondering, the other half of the back cover was for the film 28 Weeks Later and the 28 Days Later graphic novel also coming out later this year.

Characters not mine:(

"Can I buy you another margarita or have you had enough?  You've already had three.  This is only our second date," Doug said.
They were sitting at a bar and Lynn was really enjoying herself.  She placed her hand over Doug's.
"I was hoping you'd take advantage of me," she said, with a playful smile.

Characters not mine:(


Seeking Comfort 3

by Tara Ann Stridh



Two weeks had passed and Brenda was still sleeping in Doug's bed.  Bobby was happy to have his room back to himself, but he missed his sister's presence.  The truth was that her just being in the same room with him had made him sleep more soundly.  He wondered if her nightmares had stopped.  Every time he closed his eyes he saw that guy eating his mother or his father burning to death or Beauty cut open.  He wondered what Brenda and Doug did at night when she went into his room, but he didn't dare ask.  He felt kind of embarrassed.

Characters don't belong to me:(
