The crone is a stock character in folklore and fairy tale, an old woman. In some stories, she is disagreeable, malicious, or sinister in manner, often with magical or supernatural associations that can make her either helpful or obstructing. The Crone is also an archetypal figure, a Wise Woman. She is marginalized by her exclusion from the reproductive cycle, and her proximity to death places her in contact with occult wisdom. As a character type, the crone shares characteristics with the hag.
The word "crone" is a less common synonym for "old woman," and is more likely to appear in reference to traditional narratives than in contemporary everyday usage. The word became further specialized as the third aspect of the Triple Goddess popularized by Robert Graves and subsequently in some forms of neopaganism, particularly Wicca in which she symbolizes the Dark Goddess, the dark of the moon, the end of a cycle. In new age and feminist spiritual circles, a "Croning" is a ritual rite of passage into an era of wisdom, freedom, and personal power.

Plot: Shot outdoors in the summer of 2003, "Born for Death" was Brandt Street Studios most ambitious project to date, and won "Best of the Fest" honors at the 2004 Chicago Horror Film Festival. With a microscopic budget that went mainly towards fake blood and pig intestines, this epic exercise in guerrilla filmmaking explores the brutality of man, the perils of scientific advancements, and most importantly, how ridiculously awesome blood looks when it shoots out of people. Features strapping young men in kilts, grotesque predators, savage combat, and an average of one gallon of blood for every two minutes of screen time.

Plot: The film tells the story of the Daughter of Duntreen who had "No power upon the hour and no thought upon the Morrow". A strong Pre-Raphaelite influence dominates the visual style, and the language mirrors Stevenson's text. Years pass and characters come and go, but when the Daughter finally realizes that she has "Power upon the Hour" - it is all too late.

Lara, a perpetually indignant, arrogantly feministic lady, initially hates the methodical and rules-following Killion, and so she does all she can to avoid him and disregard his safety procedures. The story complicates, however, when repeated attempts are made on Lara's life. Eventually, the shaken Lara decides to trust Killion's instincts and precautionary methods, and the pair embark on a difficult and often perilous cross-country journey, with the assassins close on their heels.

Which I don't often find.
You see a family walking.
Always thinking of being somewhere else in
time.
So I fall face down in a rut.
I can't seem to get out of.
Please wake me.
Please give me some of it back.
The feelings I had.
Sometimes I wish I could be strong like you
. It doesn't matter.
Each time I wake I'm somehow feeling the truth.
I can't handle.
Let's get this party started.
I'm sick of being you.
You make me feel insane.
We don't give to you.
Let's get this party started.
You make me feel insane.
I want to be the one.
To make myself sane.
Time is ticking, it makes me feel content.
With what I have inside.
Constant paranoia surrounds me.
Everyone I see is out to get me.
So I fall face down in a rut.
I can't seem to get out of.
Please wake me.
Please give me some of it back.
