THE HALLOWEEN ORGY MASSACRE BY JEFF O’BRIEN REVIEW!!!

thehallorgyEver since I won FRANKENSTEIN FAIRY from a Goodreads giveaway a year or so ago, I have been hooked on Jeff O’Brien’s quirky, campy, homage to b-movies and slasher plots. He captures the true essence of that low budget 80’s movie feel, tone, and pace, that most of us, who are familiar with the horror genre can appreciate.

AND NOW, without further ado…I present you to you, Jeff O’Brien’s THE HALLOWEEN MASSACRE……..Jeff O’Brien is the Imperator of B-movie writing! I have not read a type of storytelling that is so perfectly modeled after my favorite sub-genre ever, and O’Brien is spot on. Every cut away is done seamlessly and the campy humor adds to the ambiance of the genre. Once again he captures the feel, tone, pace and soundtrack of a great B Horror movie in THE HALLOWEEN ORGY MASSACRE!!!

It’s the 1980’s in Leedham, Massachusetts and the opening scene or Prologue, reminds me strongly of first season Buffy when they introduce The Master. The Big Bad is an alien race named Trahlex and the opening scene tells us of their plan to take over Earth!!!!

Cut Scene

Next scene is of Leedham’s neighborhood bum drunk, and for a second opener, he plays a nice role. He is the first to bare witness to the strange cosmic crash as well as the first to fall victim.
At the same time the drunk is meeting his demise, our main character Will awakens from a nightmare (and of course the dreams foreshadow something). Carla, his love interest brings us the first “BOOBS!” scene when she jumps in for her shower montage to The Cure’s Why Can’t I Be You (seriously play it in the background while you read the scene you would swear you watching an 80’s movie) before heading to work where Will also happens to be employed. We are now plunged into the 1980’s classic of nerd loves popular bitch, popular bitch could care less, nerd still holds out hope.

The town of Leedham is now in full preparation for Halloween, and the Trahlex aliens have landed during the best time of year to blend in among the humans. Four little midget like aliens have decided to don Cuddle Bear costumes; a popular show amongst children, and using their disguises capture the children of Leedham and send the rest into a sexual frenzy orgy of lust brought on by the green goo that is shot from their uvula heads that are housed within their mouths….yep….all that is going on. Carla is the girl Will is crushing on and when she gets the green burning goo on her finger her interests in Will go up ten fold…as does her interest in anything with a pulse including her closeted best friend. Will gets what he wants but on briefly when he realizes Carla’s just sluttin it up. It isn’t until he meets the mysteriously beautiful Xandria that things become clear….after they become complicated….

Xandria is sent from the planet Strygaria to save the human race from the Trahlex’s, but only with the help from The Chosen One (enter another Buffy reference) and can ya guess who that might be?

It’s up to Will and Xandria to fight the little bear aliens and reverse the sexual frenzy before it’s too late!

So much fun to read and I love Jeff O’Brien’s B-movie books

MEET THE AUTHOR: JEFF O’BRIEN!!! (bio from goodreads.com)

jeffobrienHi. I’m Jeff. I’m pretty good at cutting meat, but I think I’m better at writing. I love horror a lot, but I like it better when it’s funny.

I’m a raging Boston Celtics fan and a lover of barbecue. I was born and raised in Everett, Massachusetts, where my love of horror began at age five with the discovery of a Hammer Horror picture book that belonged to my grandmother. Having been fed a healthy diet of Universal monster movies since toddlerhood and lacking internal monologue, becoming a writer seemed a necessity.

I live in Dover, New Hampshire now with my wife and our two pups.
