The Saw Is Family: An Ode To KP And My Brother-In-Law

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping a dedication to KP (my mom) and Matt (my brother-in-law) into the ol’ VCR. 

Well, friends, it’s been a few weeks since I’ve done a cheesy post, so it’s time for my next one. 

You see, KP is the one who introduced me to horror, and Matt has been my horror partner-in-crime for over half of my life. Not only were the two of them born during spooky season, but they were born on the same day. Today, in fact. 

I know this is a pop culture blog, but without the two of them, I wouldn’t have been exposed to a lot of horror movies I’ve grown to love. 

Me calling my brother-in-law and telling him to watch a deranged movie. 

KP showed me all the classics like Carrie and Halloween, while Matt brought me modern gems like Slither and The Descent. 

Growing up, KP and I would binge movies on Sundays, as well as when I caught Swine Flu my senior year of high school. And, y’all, they weren’t all winners. 

However, we always had a good time, and I would give ANYTHING to have one more movie day with her. 

When Matt came into our family, he gained a movie buddy in me. My sister won’t touch most horror movies (except for Midsommar, which is truly baffling), so Matt and I would catch matinees and trade DVDs (by trade, I mean I would mostly steal and/or borrow his DVDs). 

KP whenever an explicit sex scene popped up in a horror movie. 

I still send Matt trailers, analog horror series, and everything in-between. 

Matt and KP also had a tradition of going to see the rebooted Halloween series together, and it broke his heart that she passed before Halloween Ends was released. 

I want to thank them both because they’re both very important people to me. 

KP, thank you for being my biggest fan for your entire life and beyond. 

Matt, thank you for being such a welcome addition to our family.  

I love you both very, very much. 

For KP, For Always
