Spring is commonly associated with renewal, redemption, resurrection – in short, rebirth and second chances. But as any X-Files or Stephen King fan knows all too well, what’s reborn or resurrected isn’t always cute and cuddly, and second chances are what Freddie or Jason or the Mama Alien gets in the next-to-the-last frame, just when you think you’ve bolted the last door or blasted the slimy critter out the airlock.
Spring has sprung (the spring equinox was three days ago; you missed the party), with all the mystery and mystique the season brings. Leprechauns and banshees, the return of the Mayan Sun Serpent and the kinky union of the German fertility goddess and the solar god, wiccan rituals, egg-bearing bunnies, and mysterious celebrity sightings during the Nielsen TV sweeps. And wait ‘til you see what we’ve sprung on you.
It’s probably raining outside or the snow hasn’t totally melted yet or the guy you got into it with St. Pat’s Day is still on the lookout for you. So settle in behind the monitor and enjoy a festive VS14 Spring Special.
