Revision as of 16:25, 15 March 2023
Hello, My name is Eric. I am a father of 2 kids, Marcus who is 7, and Lucy who is 5. They all loved things Marvel Comics related. But this one day, my kids were scared by this extended edition of Spider Man from 2002.
One day, I was in my room with my wife Annie while watching TV. I was watching The Simpsons when my kids came storming into my room screaming, "Dad! The new spider man film is out! Can we go see it please?" I said okay and I told them that we would go see it after school on May 7th, 2002.
Tuesday came. I got out of work at 2:30 and picked up my kids from school. The school they go to is called Sumner Elementary School. We drove down to the Regal Tall Firs 10 in Bonney Lake, WA. Before the movie, I asked my kids if they wanted a happy meal from McDonald's. I sat down in the McDonald's with my kids.
After lunch, We walked down to the theatre and purchased 3 tickets for Spider Man. Right before we entered the theatre, we saw Stan Lee sitting near the door. He asked, "are you fellows seeing spider man?" I said yes. He replied by saying, "well, you will not like this version!" I ignored his evidence and went to the theatre. Our theatre number was theatre 1. I was surprised because we were the only ones in the theatre. The previews that were shown were Lilo and Stitch, Stuart Little 2, The Powerpuff Girls Movie, Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones, Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie and The Country Bears. The previews ended and the film started normally. Despite the fact that I saw the movie before my kids did.
The film started with Peter Parker running to catch his bus. But the bus obviously speeds up. The next scene cuts to where Peter Parker meets with Harry Osborn's father, I asked my kids to wait in the theatre while I went to the bathroom. When I finished my phone call in the bathroom, I heard a scream coming out of the theatre I was in. My heart sank down when I heard that!
But how the heck would I hear screaming all the way through a simple bathroom? I quickly rushed back to the theatre and asked my kids what was wrong. Lucy pointed to the screen and I felt my heart sink to rock bottom.
It was a horrifying glimpse of Mary Jane Watson screaming. Her eyes had dark hollow holes. In the background, I could desperately hear My Nutmeg Phantasy by Macy Gray in reverse in the background. I told my kids to calm down and tell them it was just an image.
It then cut to the scene where Peter is visiting the graveyard. He spots Norman Osborn dressed as the Green Goblin. Peter Parker pulls a pocket knife and stabs his eye socket. My kids were screaming and crying as he was doing that.
I tried to calm my kids down and to tell them that it's just a film. When it got to the scene where Spider Man fights the Green Goblin on the bridge. Spider man takes off his mask and screams so loud I nearly covered my ears and so did my children. We quickly ran to the exit of the theatre and we saw Stan Lee again. But I told him that he was right about this scary edition of Spider Man.
We came home from the theatre and I asked Sony about who created that alternate version of Spider Man. Two days later, I got an email from Columbia Pictures which said this.
"Dear Eric Templeton,
We are so sorry about what you saw in theatres. The alternate version you watched was created by Edward Fanning. He was a suicidal man that had no choice but to create an alternate version of Spider Man. Back in June 30, 2000, Our script was finally done, but Stan Lee accidentally told us that Edward Fanning made the script for the missing film. I hope your kids are okay from this nightmare. In 2001, Marvel didn't appreciate the alternate version, but Edward Fanning said that if they don't appreciate this version, he would fire us.
So then, we released it on purpose. I am sorry that your kids were so scared by this.
Best Wishes, Marvel Comics."
I'm glad that this nightmare is over, I didn't get nightmares, only my kids did have a nightmare, where Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson came into Lucy's bedroom, just laughing. And Marcus had a nightmare where Green Goblin shot him with a pumpkin bomb.
The nightmare has ended for now. But it will still occur later in the future.
