Indaba Yangempela Engemuva Kwephupho Elibi Ku-Elm Street

Njengomgubho weminyaka engama-30 wokukhishwa kwaseshashalazini kwasekuqaleni kobuciko buka-Wes Craven buka-1984 I-Nightmare ku-Elm Street izindlela, isikhathi silungile sokubheka emuva ekuqaleni okuthobekile kwale franchise yesithonjana manje. Ngemuva kokwenza igama lakhe kuhlobo olwesabekayo nge Indlu Yokugcina Ngakwesobunxele futhi Amagquma Anamehlo ekuqaleni kwawo-1980, uCraven wathola ugqozi lweklasi lakhe elihlala njalo elinendaba eyiqiniso ephuma emaphephandabeni. Nakuba kuwumkhuba ovamile futhi okholisayo osetshenziswa abenzi bamafilimu abaningi bohlobo ukusho ukuthi ifilimu yabo isekelwe ezehlakalweni zangempela (sibheke wena, I Texas Chainsaw Massacre), UMnu. Craven uthole ugqozi emithonjeni ehlukahlukene nakwizindatshana zezindaba ezikhona manje.

Isithombe nge-Esquire

Njengoba kushiwo kudokhumentari wakamuva omuhle kakhulu Ungaphinde Ulale Futhi, uCraven waphefumulelwa ngokucacile izenzakalo zangempela. Lokho akusho ukuthi umbhalo wokuqala usekelwe kumuntu wangempela we-boogeyman ekucupha ebuthongweni bakho; lokho konke kuzokwenzeka kamuva. Kunalokho, indaba yavela ochungechungeni lwezihloko uCraven azifunda kuyi-LA Times eziphathelene nezinsizwa ezazifa phakathi kwamaphupho amabi. Esinye isenzakalo sasiphathelene nensizwa eyayihlushwa amaphupho amabi futhi yaqiniseka ukuthi yayizofa uma iphinde yalala. Uyise kamufi wayengudokotela futhi wanika indodana yakhe incwadi yamaphilisi okulala, yanqaba ukuwaphuza, yawafihla ngaphansi kwamashidi akhe. Ngemva kobusuku obuthathu iphaphamile insizwa yagcina izumekile kodwa yatholwa abazali bayo phakathi kwamabili, iklabalasa futhi ibhuquza embhedeni wayo. Engakafiki ngisho kuye, wayesefile. Emuva kwalokho, abazali bakhe bathola amaphilisi okulala afihliwe, kanye nomshini ka-Mr.Coffee ekamelweni lakhe elinentambo efihliwe.

Le ndaba eyinqaba yayiyisiqalo sochungechunge lwamafilimu ahlasele amaphupho ethu cishe iminyaka engamashumi amathathu, futhi ezinye izingcezu zendida zahlangana kuMnu. Craven njengoba ezakhela ezakhe izizathu zalolu chungechunge oluyinqaba lokufa okungachazwanga. Ngemva kweminyaka engu-30 sonke siyayazi indaba UFred Krueger, “I-Springwood Slasher”; usengene shí esikweni elisabekayo manje njengoba ejule njengenunu yaseFrankenstein kanye no-Count Orlok.

Kodwa kwenzekani ngempela kuleyo nsizwa, eyayethuke ngokufanelekile yalala?

Nokho, kuvele ukuthi empeleni kwakuyisifo esingandile esaziwa ngokuthi I-Bangungot, ebuye yaziwe ngokuthandekayo ngokuthi "isifo sokufa okungalindelekile sasebusuku esingalindelekile". Ekuqaleni kwawo-1980, kwaba yinto ewubhubhane kubantu baseNingizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia nasePhilippines, izinsizwa zahlaselwa amaphupho amabi ngendlela engaqondakali. Eqiniseka ukuthi amaphupho awo ayehlaselwe amademoni, la madoda ayethukile aba imilutha yekhofi elimnyama nezinye izikhuthazi ngomzamo omkhulu wokuhlala ephapheme. Ngemva kwalokhu kufa kwabantu, ukwesaba phakathi kwezindawo ezingomakhelwane baseNingizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia kwakhula futhi izinkulumo zokuhleba zase-Bangungot zaqala ukusabalala.

Cishe wonke amazwe namasiko emhlabeni akubona lokhu kuhlupheka enguqulweni eyodwa noma kwenye. Abantu baseTurkey bakubiza ngokuthi “umshini wokucindezela omnyama.” E-Afrika, yaziwa ngokuthi “udeveli ogibele emhlane wakho.” AmaHmong awazi ngokuthi “idemoni elicindezelayo.” Kodwa amadoda aseTurkey, ase-Afrika, nawaseMelika awavamile ukufa ngenxa yalesi sifo. Kodwa-ke, abantu base-Asia babonakala bengenwa kalula uhlobo olubulalayo lwalesi sifo.
Ucwaningo lwakamuva luthi lokhu kwenzeka ngenxa yokuvuvukala okukhulu kwamanyikwe, indlala ekhiqiza ama-enzyme okugaya ukudla, ikakhulukazi i-insulin, ukuze igaye ama-carbohydrate esiwadlayo. Ezisulungeni zalesi simo, ukuvuvukala kuba kubi kakhulu kangangokuthi amanyikwe agaya ngokoqobo. uqobo. Izinkinga zalokhu kuvuvukala kucatshangwa ukuthi zibangela amaphupho amabi njengoba ukushaqeka kuqala ukuphuca izitho ezinkulu igazi nomoya-mpilo, kubangele imibono engemihle futhi ekugcineni kufe njengoba umzimba ubuthi.

Okungenani yilokho abafuna sikukholwe…

Ngakho-ke, futhi, isayensi iyalichaza idimoni. Hlobo luni.
Akukho mvumelwano noma isizathu sokufa (ngokubonga okungajwayelekile kakhulu) okwenzeka ngenxa yeBangungot, futhi ayikho incazelo yokuthi kungani abase-Asiya nabasePhilippines besengozini yokufa kuyo. Odokotela batusa iziguli ezinesifo ukuthi zinqume ama-carbs notshwala, kepha bathi lokho konke.
Ngakho-ke, mhlawumbe impendulo elula kunazo zonke iyona engcono kunazo zonke.
Mhlawumbe kukhona idemoni laphaya elihlupha umhlaba wamaphupho, futhi ngeke limiswe.
Ulale kahle…

UMarge Thompson: Yini isihogo esingamaphupho, noma kunjalo?

UDkt King: Izimfihlakalo, umzimba omangalisayo i-hocus-pocus.
Iqiniso ukuthi, namanje asazi ukuthi ziyini
noma lapho evela khona.
