MailOnline reported today about Sara Foss, a 39 year-old maniac who has dedicated her life to having children until she finally bares a set of twins or triplets. She’s now expecting her 14th child.

Making Foss’s infatuation with twins even stranger, is the glimpse into her psyche we get by looking at the names of her children: the majority of which are named after horror, fantasy, and Sci-fi movies. Who are we at SCARS – who love horror enough to dedicate our time to magazine-making and blogging – to judge someone’s fandom? Hypocrites? Fine. But check out these names.

Quoted from MailOnline:

• Patrick – named after Sara’s grandmother’s surname of Patrick
• Stephen – after his doting dad, Stephen
• Malachai – after a character in the horror film, Children of the Corn
• Peppermint – after Sara started craving mints during her fourth pregnancy
• Echo – after a group of eco-campaigners who Stephen met during a job at work
• Eli – another character in the 1984 film Children of the Corn
• Rogue – a character in the film X-Men
• Frodo – hobbit in Lord of the Rings
• Morpheus – a character in film, The Matrix, staring Keanu Reeves
• Artemis – book character, Artemis Fowl, an obnoxious teenage criminal
• Blackbird – named after a gathering of blackbirds which flew onto Sara’s lawn
• Baudelaire – named after the Baudelaire orphans which featured in Lemony Snicket’s film A Series of Unfortunate Events
• Voorhees – named after serial killer, Jason Voorhees in the horror movie, Friday The 13th

My question is why such a genre fan would want twins or triplets. Doesn’t she know all the terrifying doppleganger and/or evil children scenarios that could be afoot? Here’s hoping her next child is named Pinhead.
