This must be a leftover Halloween prompt, for the only image it brings to mind is bloody and horrific. Probably the result of watching too many B movies as a kid. The worst memory of horror movies with color (yes I’m that old) was “War of the Worlds”. Watching on and off, peeking up through my hands, as my head was often in my sister’s lap, terrified.
I really love movies, can count on one hand the ones I disliked. I can go for hours, watching one after the other. Sleepless nights are filled with cinematic productions. Looking for mistakes, flubs, inconsistencies, all fun. It is rare to find actors that let you forget all these, and believe they actually are the character.
Torture and gore are different than violence. When I think of bludgeon, I think of both. “Game of Thrones” was not on my list of television fare I intended to watch, and to my detriment, must admit I enjoy it. The first episode of “The Bastard Executioner” took me a while to accept that seeing a man’s skull penetrated by a sword didn’t turn my stomach. Maybe that’s part of why violence is so prevalent now. We are all getting numbed by the output of media in general.
Possibly you are thinking why watch these shows? My excuse, however skewed, is my heritage is Viking based. I want to know what motivated their violent nature. The series “The Vikings” seems to be the most historically honest.
Movies, television series, all beckon me. Maybe I have problems with everyday life and wish to escape…….me? Nah!
P.S. I need a large dog so I can name him Ragnar.
The Bag Lady 
The Walkin Dead is more gore than Game of Thrones. I like them both.
I might be a horrible human being. Lol

Your image made me want to write a story about Vikings but as much as I’ve got a plethora of bands who sing about Vikings I don’t have enough information in my head to write a story about one.
