Also Known As: Stone Demon, Gargoyle
Description: Rock demons are humanoid creatures made out of stone, but size and appearance varies considerably from one creature to the next, as does the specific type of stone they’re made from. They range from crude, primitive figures to elaborately carved gargoyles and statues.

Description: Banshees look like human women, often with delicate features reminiscent of the traditional description of fairies. Most banshees appear as either beautiful young women or decrepit old crones, but appearances between these two extremes are also possible. A banshee can alter her apparent age, but no matter what age the banshee appears to be, she still looks like the same person, just at a different stage of life. Banshees traditionally have long hair and wear simple, usually white, gowns but this is by no means universal.

This article was written for the November/December issue of Bazooka Magazine, which has been unavoidably delayed (but will hopefully be out in the near future). Since some of the movies are already out or about to be released, I'm posting a little early here. I'll also throw in some updates for the films I've seen since I wrote the original.

From the December issue of Bazooka Magazine:
“But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought. A bad usage can spread by tradition and imitation even among people who should and do know better.”--George Orwell, Politics and the English Language
As Orwell, Carlin, and other people who aren’t even named George have observed, controlling language is the first step to controlling thought. That’s because, in addition to their linguistic meanings, most words also include a lot of cultural baggage that gives them an emotional meaning. Phrases that use loaded language influence how people react to and think about the idea being expressed, often without them even realizing it.

As anyone who watches Fox News (or--more likely if you're reading this--The Daily Show's coverage of Fox News) knows, a WAR ON CHRISTMAS has been raging for the past several years. This all-out attack on Christian values mainly involves acknowledging that not every single person is a Christian, but if you've got more than five friends on Facebook, you probably know that there's another more sinister battle going on: the Godless Heathens (TM) are abbreviating the word "Christmas" as "Xmas." I don't think I have to tell you that there are few things more offensive than replacing the word "Christ" with the English transliteration of the Greek letter "Chi" (which, incidentally, has been used by Christians to represent Christ for hundreds of years).
