Horror High 1 (2005)
“It was Saturday morning in the Grim-Reaper household, and Mr Grim-Reaper was embroiled in an argument with his son, Nathan.
It wasn’t that old man G-R wanted an argument. Au contraire, he just wished to relax over morning coffee and the weekend edition of the Tombstone Times – the quality newspaper for the well-read undead – but Nathan was on the bug again. Lately it seemed he was constantly on the bug about something.
This time Nathan reckoned he needed pocket money.
‘I feed you, clothe you an...d pay your school fees; what do you want pocket money for?’ Mr Grim-Reaper hissed irritably, in a voice reminiscent of the Ringwraiths from Lord of the Rings.
Boy, was he sick of comparisons to that film. Everyone he met these days, first thing they’d say after he’d introduced himself, “You sound just like those spooky Ringwraiths from the Rings Trilogy.” He couldn’t wait to get his death grip on that fatso Kiwi film director and feed him and his Oscar to an orc.
‘What do you want pocket money for?’ Mr G-R repeated, sounding now like a car radiator boiling over.MoreLess
