Well, congratulations. It’s Mother’s Day, and you’re playing on the Fangoria website instead of calling your poor mother. But why should you worry? I mean she only fed you, clothed you, and let you know when you were slouching. You just go on about your day, and don’t worry about your poor mother.
Hopefully, you are now feeling sufficiently guilty and are currently handcrafting the world’s largest and most extravagant Mother’s Day card. But before you head down to the craft store for a crate of construction paper and a wholesale bag of pipe cleaners, lets reflect on that special breed of celluloid madre, the horror mother.
