Monster Mania 21

So here we are again...yet another weekend has passed that was filled with a sea of Jason's, Freddy's, and the occasional clown on stilts. Of course I'm talking about Monster-Mania!!!!!

This bloody and gory filled weekends is probably my favorite good time on the east coast besides Chiller Theatre(which is geared more towards classic horror).

At this 3-day convention you can find numerous panels, horror movies playing all weekend, and a mass of your favorite celebrities signing autographs all day for about $30 a pop. It’s just a good time.
A note about the prices of autographs for celebrities….they keep increasing!  And I know a lot of people are upset about this but one thing I learned is that the convention is NOT responsible for the prices set by these celebrities! SO STOP complaining to the convention runners! The agencies that represent these celebrities often times set up these prices if not the celebrities themselves….they need to make a profit somehow off these things and the agencies take a cut of the paycheck(do you wonder why the prices went up now?) Just like us, some of these celebs have to make money, especially the washed up ones that come to these events. So its either you pay for the autograph now or you send your money to a fan mail address and get an un-personalized autograph from an assistant to print you out a carbon-copy signature =]

This weekend my celebrities that were a MUST-SEE was the cast of the original Blair Witch Project, Kane Hodder, Robert Englund aka Freddy Krueger, and Carl, Merle, and T-dog from The Walking Dead. All the above mentioned celebrities were such a pleasure to meet. They were all nice to me and my civilian friends, especially T-dog(I forget his real name at the moment) and Robert Englund.

My only negative comment about the whole convention (which many people besides myself have complained about) was the way they handled the line for Robert Englund. Saturday(all-day & I’m sure other days) they had people literally waiting hours in the cold just to see him. Now, this isn’t a usual problem for the convention, it just sucked that it just so happened this time where I actually wanted to meet the headliner really badly. Then on top of that, of course out of all these beautiful days we’ve been having I decided to wait outside in my Tina costume on the cold one lol. =p I, myself, waited for 4 1/2 hours to see him, who knows how long other waited behind me! The worst part was that the people behind me got cut off and weren't allowed to see him even after their hours of waiting outside to see him. All in all though, Robert Englund was WELL WORTH the wait to me. He is my absolute favorite horror icon and has been since I was first potty trained. I’m pretty sure that while other kids were learning how to sing twinkle twinkle I was learning the, “1,2 Freddy’s coming for you” song. One of the main reasons his lines actually took so long was because he likes to take an adequate amount of time out with each fan to really personalize the experience. This may seem dreadful while you’re on the line waiting, but once you get to see him and you realize your over here having a convo with the dream killer, you’ll understand.  For what it’s worth I truly think he is the nicest celebrity I have met so far, && I have met quite a few dumba$$es along the way. I’m probably gonna check out his book next, Hollywood Monster, && the documentary, Never Sleep Again. Saw some awesome reviews for these.

One more negative comment: They need more beer besides at the bar haha…At Chiller they literally have beer wagons =]

I’ll post some of my pictures from the event in this post(though I don’t have many because I forgot my camera at my dorm room that weekend) ENJOY!!!!!! 

Top Online Stores for Horror Fans =]

Well being an avid horror fan I'm always looking for the coolest shit to add to my collection. My wall is literally covered in horror movie cover art, && this collection is now extending to my guest rooms as well.

I thought I'd share my love of all horror things by including a few websites and magazines in this post that I personally recommend.

Lets start with my favorite horror magazine.

•  Rue Morgue:I love this magazine for tons of reasons. 1st of all new movies aren't buying covers on this magazine (like Fangoria), which makes it unbiased && more awesome. They chose which movies they'll review based on there own opinions & interests, making the articles more entertaining to read.  The articles inside also include the newest in rock music, genre trends, movies, comics, && tons more; so there is a lot of variety in the content. Here's a link to their main site: Rue Morgue  

Next up are some awesome collectibles I found during my travels to conventions and such:

My Favorite

• WerePups: These are some awesome little Lycans that you can adopt starting April of 2012 when there site is fully functional. They all 11' fully pose-able latex werewolf baby dolls that would be a great addition to any family and are much easier to look after than the real thing. They have a whole litter of pups you can choose from and you can even order custom ones modeled after past pups. If you want to see these past Werepups and the newly adoptable ones they have a facebook site that you can check out to see all their photo shoots. They go for about $75 each, but are so worth it because they are a life-long commitment. Werepups

Nightmare 6 Glove "The Final Nightmare"

• Nightmare Gloves: Now this is the perfect gift either to yourself or someone else that you know who is very fond of Freddy Krueger. These are without a doubt the best quality of Freddy gloves that you will EVER find in this galaxy. They are all custom-crafted, cinema prop replicas, exclusive, && original art collectibles. The creator of these gloves has not yet released his new, "Elm Street Reborn" series but they are sure to come soon. These gloves have been signed, bought, recognized, and even supported by the master of Freddy Krueger himself, Robert Englund(he's featured on the site).  Heres a link to the official site: Nightmare Gloves but since that's not fully functional yet..here is their Facebook site: Nightmare gloves Facebook
• Freddy Krueger Glove necklace: Can't you tell I'm a Freddy fan already? Well this was a pretty neat find of mine as well. Though the chain is sh*tty on this necklace, I adore the hell out of the actual piece. It's the best Freddy Krueger necklace I can find that is girl-friendly and not to harsh. i LOVEEEE it. It's sold on this Etsy shop(which is sold out now) && at conventions as well. Here is the link for the etsy shop(hopefully she'll restock soon):Glove necklace

Glove Necklace

 Next I'll give you some of my top online stores to shop at for MISC. items:

• House of Mysterious Secrets: This online store has everything a horror fan could dream of; from magazines to shirts to statues/mini-busts. Check this store often for sales && specials such as free shipping and buy 3 get 1 free deals. I frequently shop here personally for my shirts which are sometimes as cheap as 15 bucks. This store usually has the sh*t I can't find any where else so if your looking for something specific(anything at all), search here first. Here's the link: House of Mysterious Secrets
• Rotten Cotton: haha everyone's favorite horror t-shirt store...(aside from Frightrags) You can almost ALWAYS find their ads in Fangoria and such. I love their stuff mainly for 1 reason. There old school && they have old school. Each of the shirt comes with about only 2 colors on it...check out the site and you will see. This unique decision by the company to place at most 3 colors on a shirt makes them different, classic, && just plain awesome. The shirt designs are sick && they usually have deals on shirts with their own logos going for 10 dollars. They also have a pretty selection for the females in your life. Check it all out here: Rotten Cotton *If you go to the site make sure you check out the "MINION" tab, it is a section filled with pictures of customers in their tees!*
• Fright Rags: Another notorious website for their horror t-shirts, sells everything from vintage horror shirts, limited edition shirts, to posters and more. They another company that places a limited amount of colors on their shirts though that number seems to be increasing a tad bit with time. My favorite section of the site is the "Graveyard" tab where all retired designs go to die && be buried. However, sometimes you are allowed to vote on which dead design you want to return from the dead =] pretty cool huh? See what I'm talking about here: Fright Rags

~Stephen King Bag Of Bones PT 2 Review~!

Well..finally here is my review of part 2 of Bag Of Bones.

To START off I'd just like to say that contrary to what many other reviews were online, I actually liked the movie. I thought that it was a tad-less boring than the usual made-for-tv Stephen King flick. Like I have said many times before, I am NOT a fan of Kingdom Hospital(another Stephen King flick). That movie just kept going and going and going...and it lost me about an hour due to confusion and just pure boredom.
Back to Bag of Bones: Though there was a LOT of talking between characters going on, the development of the story moved on at a pretty good pace. Revealing things quite quickly but at the same time taking 10 minutes of screen time to do so. At the beginning of the 2nd half I was fueled by my eagerness to find out more about the visions that Mike had been having, and fortunately I didn't have to wait long for answers to be revealed. The first person to reveal these answers was his cleaning lady, who shows up once AGAIN at the perfect time to see Mike lose his cool a second time. After a little persuasion by the stunningly old Mike Noonan she reveals information about, "The Curse of Dark Score Lake....the legend...the kind of stories told round the campfire..it's when people go mad."  and of course the appropriate question that was asked next is, What do people do when they go Dark Score crazy?. && in this town instead of just locking yourself in your house and owning a lot of cats, crazy is defined as killing your female kin(apparently this is a trend that is ongoing in China). This curse has plagued the lives of certain residents in the past that are listed below:

• Maddie's husband Lance trying to kill their daughter Kyra by drowning her
• Buddy's dad held his little sister under the water pump and drowned her
• Dill dean's father Fred held Billy's little sister when they were young under water at Dark Score Lake
• But Who's next?

The only drawback to all this information being revealed in the movie was that at the end of the day..or movie should I say...it wasn't that great of a reveal. There was such a lack of an awesome resolution to all the mystery they had done so well of building up to. I was actually very disappointed with the 2nd half of the movie because of this, because it made predicting from beginning to end the "DARKNESS" of Dark Score Lake and its past so easy. After the first 10 minutes of the 2nd half I could already predict what had happened to Sara Tidwell and how the town was involved in her death. I probably could have even guessed what happened to her after seeing the first half of the movie. Once again in a movie the tiring plot, of a town with secrets and people who in the past committed a wrong that they are now dealing with in the present is being played out here. I can't tell you how many times I've seen this situation in a movie, and in this movie they did little to make it stand out from the rest. In this situation, the curse was placed by Miss Sara Tidwell on all those who played a hand in the death of her and her daughter(who was an innocent bystander). The scene of her death was very brutal to watch, so seriously if anybody has a sensitivity to domestic abuse/rape situations, proceed with caution. It is in this scene that Sara says, "You and your kin are cursed. You and your sons are going to do to you daughters what you done to mind. With your own hands you will murder your own daughters, until you are all gone." It is because of the involvement of Mike's grandad in her death that now he must suffer if he has kids..ahem..wasn't he supposed to have one up until the mother got pummeled by a bus!? Well, with the reveal of the curse of Sara Tidwell also came the reveal of why his wife Jo was truly keeping her pregnancy a secret; to protect her unborn child and Mike from harm. Guess she's not a trifling ho after all like Mike had suggested for 2 hours of the movie. The reveal of his wife's secret was probably the only fact that came as a surprise to me aside from a few surprising scenes, because I really had thought she had cheated on her ignorant husband with his gay brother she had been spotted with. Along with this shocking fact came a few deaths that were also "good" unsuspecting surprises. A sudden death of a main character actually shocked the sh*t out of me and scared me a lil'(just a lil). I liked this scene in the movie though for many reasons. 1) it brought my full attention back to the movie (&& took it away from twitter's sick grasp over my mind) 2) it providing the 2nd half with the much needed twist 2 make it a bit unpredictable && 3) it helped to explain the quote, "Custody has it's responsibilities"(an underlying theme in the 2nd half)
The other death, was more of suicide, but all can be explained when you see the film.
Now to get to the end summation of the whole film. One of the best parts of this film I believe were the quotes said by a variety of characters that really made you intrigued with their meanings and helped to play a crucial part in the mystery of the film. Such quotes as,

• "This thing was always bigger than you", 
• "People Don't take kindly to having their secrets spilled",
• "A person without secrets is like a scarecrow without stuffing",
• && "I'm going to give you once chance to save your soul". 

One of the most important quotes in this movie being, "Lie still Bag of Bones". The "Bag of Bones" concept was brought up multiple times during the film. It was first mentioned when Mike had described himself as being a bag of bones with no purpose in the first half of the film. Then in the 2nd part of the film is when a novel of words was written on his laptop solely consisting of the words, "Lie Still Bag of Bones". Though this made no sense at first, this would ultimately be the resolution to the curse and the overall conflict of the movie. The way that the movie was resolved can be summed up in any episode of Supernatural.

 
Overall, I'd have to give this movie a solid 3.5/5.
It was awesome to see Pierce Brosnan on the screen again, though he disappointed me at times with his lack of mojo && his ridiculously acted "crying" scenes.. && the lil actress who played Kyra is just so damn cute && good at her role that it was a pleasure just watching her on my nice HD TV. The plot of the story was enough to keep you watching until the story unraveled and revealed itself, && the fact that you cared for Kyra && wondered where the curse will take things made it watchable till the end. There were about 3 scenes that could maybe make you jump out of your comfy couch, but there was much time in between these scenes, so for avid horror fans this may not be your top priority on your DVR. The reveal of the mystery and secrets is sub-par though the buildup is great && there are many things that make this movie both good and bad. In my opinion, I'd say just watch it to say you did and I promise you that you won't come out feeling like you wasted 4 hours of your life. (Though don't watch it all in 1 night--separating the 2 parts makes the 2nd half more entertaining and you feel less as though the movie was dragging on as well).

Similarity to The Shining:

• Setting of the story made people go crazy: For Jack Nickelson in The Shining it was the Overlook Hotel && for Mike Noonan && the other victims it was Dark Score Lake.
• Family Members were always the victims: In The Shining the families of the Caretakers during the winter for the hotel were always the victims, being killed off before the end of the winter. && in Bag Of Bones it was the father's killing their daughters.
• The father is always the crazy/vulnerable one who ends up killing. 

~Stephen King Bag Of Bones PT 1 review~

Sooo I finally checked out the first part of the A&E movie special, "Bag Of Bones"..&& to be honest I ACTUALLY liked it despite what most reviews have said about it.


Of course there were parts that I found funny at times, but the overall tone of the movie was great and the mysterious vibe was definitely kept.

Now lets keep in mind I never read the book so I really can't compare what I saw to what was in the text, though I find that in most cases the books are always better anyways.

Now I gave a summary of the movie in my previous post so I won't do much to summarize it here again...all I will simply say about the plot of the FIRST half is that in this half they introduce Mike Noonan, the renowned Novelist, and his wife(soon to be dead-wife) Jo. They have a seemingly awesome relationship filled with awkward sexy moments between an elderly man(Mike) and what could be his daughter(Jo)? As you can see, I really found the scenes between the couple kissing and climbing on top of each other just plain awkward. Pierce Brosnan who plays Mike seemed so shaky, like he needed to take some more Viagra before he partook in any kind of sexually arousing activities. Not to mention him trying to kiss his lovely and hot wife seemed completely forced beyond belief.

Fast Forward to his wife's untimely death just as she was returning back to her ignorant lover with a secret hidden away in her purse. BOOM! A bus hits her and her secret just like that is spilled out for everyone to see..literally. && What do you know? its a pregnancy test! Gosh. Now the question on all our minds, even Mike's, is whether it was his baby that just got run over or some hot young dude's baby from the lake house she so frequently visited while her husband ignored her so effortlessly.

Well, that question isn't answered in the 1st half.

Lets fast forward again, && now we find Mike at the lake house that he inherited from his wife after her passing. Many things could have prompted poor terribly acted-depressed Mike to come here(seriously his crying scenes were laughable, like a bad audition tape for acting school). It could have been his frequent nightmares that were acted out like a poor interpretive dance about drowning children and the lake house itself. But then again, maybe it wasn't the dreams that did it, maybe it was Jo's presence in his own house who was supposedly frequently talking to him through phone rings, "once for yes, twice for no". Hmm..maybe people are just calling you MIKE?! The only thing that actually convinced me he wasn't crazy(and NOO it wasn't the backgrounds of Jo all over his phone and computer that did it) was the fact that Jo pulled a "sixth sense/m.night shamala-dingdong" move on us by reaching out from underneath the bed to warn/scare Mike of something. Which by the way, I thought that scene was soo poorly done. It wasn't creepy, it was expected, and she was just THERE. No blood, no corpsy looking body. Just her being like, "Hey go the lake house f*ck tard && stop crying over spilled milk". Anyways, it actually wasn't any of those things at all that made him go to the lake house, but instead it was his sweet and lovable agent Marty who convinced him to write another novel in 4 months who made Mike think it was a good reason to go.

Anyways, we're at the beautiful lake house, that I now envy so much, and crazy shit starts happening almost immediately. Which I think is a good thing because the movie definitely picked up towards the second half of the first half =] If things moved any slower I'd probably be bored out of my mind, which is sometimes the case with Stephen King movies.

In the house, in my opinion, it feels like 2 spirits are fighting to control Mike's decisions and his life there at the house. One is obviously Jo, who is the good-natured spirit always asking him to help others, and the other being an angry spirit that we have yet to learn about(my guesses is that it's Sara). The ghosts that we are introduced to in this part are Jo and Sara Tidwell (a jazz singer from back in the day). Both of them seem to have secrets hidden in that house, and the creepy elderly people around town seem to know a little sumtin sumtin too about these secrets as well. There ways of communicating to Mike are actually quite interesting, though some methods are down right stupid. One way that Jo actually tries to communicate with Mike is through the same bell around the Moose's neck that they so often rang together each time they made love when she was alive. This was clever because it really played into Mike's preferred method of communicating with the dead with the once or twice method. The other way that these spirits communicated is through the preschool refrigerator magnet letters on the fridge. This made no sense to me because first of all why would 2 grown adults with no children have just 6 letters on the fridge. They obviously only have about a 4 word vocabulary. The other methods include Mike's visions and an old record player that played creepy lullaby's about the Sandman coming, sung by none other than Sara Tidwell.

Jo vs Sara

The beautiful Sara

We are also introduced to Mattie and her daughter Ky during this half, who are both wonderfully portrayed by the actresses. Ky is just soo damn cute =] Mattie is actually fighting for custody of her daughter against her daughter's maniacal grandfather, who ever since the death of the father(who tried to kill his daughter), has been trying to take her away. Honestly, I would not want the father of the guy who tried killing my baby to take my daughter away; bad genes run in the family hunny. Locals actually called the deceased father, "Dark Score Crazy" for attempting to kill his daughter. It's funny because these were actually the key words that gave me the idea that Sara Tidwell might have been killed by some of the older generations in the town back in the day, and that is the secret they're all hiding. Maybe the grandfather did it? Maybe he was Dark Score crazy too?
Of course in this custody battle there is no justice being served because everyone is on the grandfather's side even Mattie's lawyer. That's what happens when your rich and have a history of killing people. 

Also, while at the Lake house Mike's visions become more intense and sexual. There is even 1 minute of the movie where he cycles through all the ghosts all while succumbing to all their seductions. Seriously folks, he makes out with all 3 ghosts, including his wife, with no conviction. At least he did gain some valuable information from his hands on approach to interrogating the dead. Maddie, who appeared as a ghost with a hole in the back of her head(no she's not really dead, confusing right?) before she disappeared said to Mike, "All will be revealed". My guesses are that Maddie knows more than she is letting off, and that everyone in Dark Score is pretty much keeping a secret.

"All Will Be Revealed"

Part 2...to be continued. 

Well guys, I gave a summary even though I didn't plan too. That's what usually happens when I start talking...I usually can't stop myself.

As far as the quality of the movie goes, it was definitely enjoyable and watchable. Its better than other Stephen King adaptations I have seen in the past such as the unmentionable, "Langoliers" and "Kingdom Hospital". There were creepy jump out of couch scenes and then there were the scenes that lacked in intensity. From this first half I have come up with the conclusion that, Pierce Brosnan sucks at being sexy anymore =[ and he is definitely not a good crier(way 2 much expression). Also, I couldn't help but notice all the similarities the film had to the Shining, another Stephen King film.
Here are a few:

• The bathtub scene: In the Shining we had the creepy old woman come out the bathtub and in this movie we had a little child reach out the tub to scare the shit out of us. 
• The main character is a writer, who of course suffers from writer's block and because of it goes a lil mad at times. 
• The subtle ghost precenses. In the Shining a lot of the ghosts weren't there to show up for 2 seconds to scare you and then leave again until the next "oh-shit" moment. This was similar to, "Bag of Bones", because in this flick the ghosts communicated with Mike, as they did in the Shining, and there presence at most times came quietly. 
• The child and mother in both movies are the ones who are keeping the men sane to a certain extent or at least trying to. In the Shining, they struggled to keep there daddy with them and on the same page. In this movie, they are a means of bringing Mike back to the reality he lost with the death of his wife. 
• The ghosts from the 20's-60's. In both movies there were spirits that were communicating with the main character that came from times way before there years. In the Shining it was the bar tender. In Bag Of Bones it was Sara. 

Overall Review: 3.5 out of 5

Keep an eye out for part 2. 

Stephen King's Bag Of Bones Tv Special

Thank the TV gods for A&E. I think I fell in love with them ever since they advertised that they will be showing a 2 night television event starting Dec 11 at 9/8c. This 2-night event will be showing none other than the master of written horror, Stephen King's Bag Of Bones. This movie is directed and produced by Mike Garris.

Starring in this movie are great actors such as

• Pierce Brosnan(who was sexy as hell back in the day) as Mike Noonan
• Annabeth Gish as Mike's dead Wife Jo
• Melissa George as the "Attractive" young widow, Mattie
• Caitlin Carmichael as the widows daughter, Kyra
• William Schallert as the wealthy grandfather
• And Anika Noni Rose as the spirit of the blues singer

Premise of the Story:
  Well just like any other good ghost story it begins with a death. && who better than to go through the emotional roller coaster of having a dead wife than a best-selling novelist, Mike Noonan, who probably ran out of ideas?? Is it starting to get utterly predictable yet? Well, because he is so distraught, Mike decides to follow his dream(literally), by going to back to his lakeside retreat in Western Maine that he once used to visit with his late wife. Enter stage right the cold weather and the predictable hot new love interest, Mattie. However, this can't be just a one night stand for this fella cuz everyone in Maine comes with baggage..and hers is in the size of a lil pint size daughter named Kyra. Of course being the man that Pierce Brosnan is, he gets involved with this strangers crazy custody battle over her daughter that is between her and guess who? Her wealthy grandfather. If I was the girl I'd rather go with grand daddy and get the pony for Christmas. During this plot line, somewhere along the way, Mike regains the ability to write again from some sudden inspiration. However, everything comes at a price. And his is costly. It includes nightmares along with frequent visits from a blues singer who ghost still lingers in the house(yet happened to not ever be there when he used to visit...hmm). Now here comes the secrets at the lake which start to unveil themselves && at the end comes the biggest secret of all from his late wife.

This movie of course is an adaptation of another one of Stephen King's great horror novels. It is described as being a ghost story that is more about the nature of love and romance as it is about the retribution of the sins of the father. It has everything you could ever dream of in a horror-suspense movie including secrets waiting to be revealed, a mystery waiting to unfold, brutal murders itching to be heard, and of course the long anticipated battle between two spirits motivated by love and the other by hatred and revenge.

It's a 2 night event so lets see if the ratings stay consistent to the 2nd night and lets see how many of the viewers actually remain on the channel for the full movie && not because they fell asleep on the couch.

wooo.

The Ratings are IN!!!!!

Viewer Ratings: TBA
NY Times: Thumbs wayyy dowwwnnnnn
Dread Central: 3 out 5 stabs
Variety: Began with some home but ended badly
Fangoria: 2 out of 4 skulls

Fangoria 

Some of Horror's most memeorable deaths...in my opinion.

Don't get me wrong, I love watching horror movies for their intriguing plots and character development....

Ok...maybe not...maybe it's more about the KILLS, the BLOOD, & the BOOBS(when it applys). =]

 Now those are the true reasons I watch horror movies...These 3 things make me REALLY happy....

Before I list some of my favorite Kills to you, you should probably get a few things first.

1. They won't be listed in order
2. Horror Icons won't be on this list...I mean we all know there great at what they do from the 30 sequels they usually get. 
3. This may be very explicit...depending on the amount of breasts I'd like to show =] .
4. && finally I don't give A SHIT what your opinion is =] unless you like mine!

So lets begin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We start our list with Ghost Ship. Ahhh If i have ever seen a good mass kill scene it would be this one surely. The movie itself was terrible, but this scene outdid itself.
Sexyness: 1 lack of any nudity...but the singer was hot enough to get this a 1
Gore: 7 no gore...but lots of sliced bodies and Blood.
Creativity: 10!!! Did you see how many people a stupid wire killed? Thank god I'm below average height =]

"Jesus Wept!"
Hahah Why it's Hellraiser...oh how i miss you so. In fact, there is a remake coming out...but ya'll can assume that of every classic GOOD horror movie nowadays. 
Sexyness: 3 Hellraiser's girl is kind of hot if you like that whole discolored bald thing. Which I do.
Gore: 10 f*ck yes. There can't be any more..unless everyone else in the room suffered his fate too. && for a movie made during this "utter lack of technology" era the effects are very CREEPY.
Creativity: 9. Chains are so over rated. Especially with all these "Saw" kills nowadays. However chains that are alive? That's new and STILL original. 

Lets continue...

So I loved this movie for many reasons. 

1. The nudity
2. The Gore
3. && the pure fun and comedy that is has brought back to horror movies(intentionally) 

So for these reasons, it HAS to be on this list. 
The video above is of the top 3 kills of the movie, && whats interesting about this video is that it compares these 3 kill scenes to Peter Jackson's "Brain Dead" or as the majority of the population calls it "Dead Alive". 

Sexyness: 8 because the girl was in a bikini and still looked good after having her skin peeled off. There was also the penis and the unforgettable scene of it being puked up. && lets not forget all the nudity throughout this film and the need for spring breakers to act like hoes to everyone elses benefit.
Gore: 10...lets face it..that sh*t was freaking nasty as hell. Chewed up penis', girls being scalped, piranha's emerging from throats. It's a beautiful thing.

Creativity: 0...well the video proves my point. If your gonna copy someone's work that's called p.l.a.g.a.r.i.s.m you FAIL.




The Hills Have Eyes:
Now this movie is f*cked up on all kinds of level...and there's a sequel too that is just as bad...this whole movie is disgusting and gory...and sometimes just plain wrong. There's rapes in this film by these disgusting incest creatures which are just not okay. This is the only movie I have ever seen that has made me feel wrong on so many levels. Here's a video of when Doug kills Jupiter.

This is the only video I could find of the kill surprisingly....hence the loud obnoxious music in the background... the characters that the special effects team made up for this movie are incredibly creepy and unforgettable. They're like a mixture of the wrong turn and rest stop characters if they had a baby and bashed each one on the head once with a hammer. 
Sexyness: absolutely none. 0!
Gore: 9....there are many aspects of this clip that make the gore factor a 9. For one those creatures faces and bodies are repulsive. Combined with bodies with flags in there heads as well as axes, it just makes it a classic fight between horror villain and horror hero gone right.

Creativity: 4..not much creativity here just pure instinct. Kill the guys who wanna kill  with any weapon you find and get the f*ck out of there.

Hostel 2: Lorna's Death. 

Here's another movie where both the original and the sequel compete with each other with their levels of sickness. The deaths in both these movies are creative as hell because each man has his own personal style of torturing his "paid by daddy's trust fund" victim. This scene is just one of the examples of the kinds of death scenes you can expect in this film. The other infamous one...which isn't really considering a kill scene...is when on poor lil fellow gets his lil fellow CUT off. =] Watch that clip on YouTube and let that deter all you guys from messing with the wrong girl.

Sexyness: 10..well a DUHHH... there's not one naked chick but 2! The scene itself it set up to be some sexual fantasy of this one chick and her finally getting to live it. She's wrapped up in chains laying in a tub naked =] no sensors. So, I had to give this 10. I means it's sad and all that the other girl couldn't enjoy it as much as she did. But she sliced her and bathed in her all in good fun.
Gore: 9...she bathed in this b*tches blood. That's sick. Even by my standards...did she even have her tested before she went ahead and let her blood creep up in her vagina like that?

Creativity: 10. Never seen it done in another movie. If it's an original it will always get a 10. Especially, because a girl could be as sick as this. It makes it even more entertaining to watch.

Final Desination

Now a good kill list must include a kill from Final Destination. I mean, isn't that what this movie series is about? The kills? Well, since there were probably about 50 kills over the span of the 5 or so movies it was really hard to narrow it down to just one. So instead I picked TWO. =]

1. Nora Gets Hooked. 

I loved this death scene for a lot of reasons. One was because of the vulnerability of these characters just prior to her death. I mean for God's sake the woman just lost her son and she thought she lost her "head" before this....well...now she actually does lose her "head". Another reason is because of the suspension building up to her death, because you KNOW what's about to happen to this character. This suspension that the movie created so well in the first 2 movies is what made this series so successful in the beginning. It seemed like after the first 2 movies they were just trying to fit in as many kills as possible without really creating a storyline for each character, giving us some sort of attachment to them. The attachment I felt for this woman and sorrow, made this scene even more scarier. Final Destination is probably the only series that also made me fear a lot of things in my actual life. Like Airplanes, psychics, elevators, highways, and bridges.

2. Erin gets Nailed.

Now this is where the movie series starts to go down hill. The deaths were of course bloody, jump-out-of-you seat, gory fun but there was no actual plot that you followed throughout the movie. I never found myself eager to see what was going to happen to each of the characters. I was just hiding behind my hands the whole time because it seemed like each moment in the movie was a new death rather than any real development.

Sexyness: 3 because some of the characters were cute themselves throughout the film. There were lots of girls they shuffled through during this series. Ali Larter being one of my favorites who went on to do better things with herself like Heroes.
Gore: 9...they definietly tried to make the death scenes as brutal as possible especially towards the end of the series. You have fences cutting people into 1/8's of themselves and buses pummeling into a poor traumatized girl. 
Creativity: 10, if the movie had no creativity with there kills then it wouldn't have lasted this long. People come back to see this movie just for the kills and nothing else. So I give a kudos to the directors and writers of the film for keeping the diversity of the deaths very broad.

Quick post concerning Scream 4 and more.

Well as you know Scream 4 has just had it's dvd and blu-ray disc release. So I am encouraging all you knowing this information to go out and BUY it. Whether it be for you or a friend...whatever your case may be...BUY IT. Christmas is around the corner and according the Wes Craven this is how he is trying to make up for loss on movie sales.

Hey!! Whats wrong with this picture?

My suggestion is buy it off ebay for 13 bucks and you got the dvd and blu-ray version...if you don't have 1 of those players(even though im assuming all of us have both by now), then turn around and sell one of the discs yourself and make some EXTRA cash for some gum =]

So now onto Scream 5 news....

Turn the f*uck around! 

Well it's definitely happening.At some point.

Theres obstacle that there trying to overcome now such as the need of a new writer. Kevin Williamson, a writer that Wes Craven fancies working with, is TOO busy to write for Scream 5. Do you have what it takes?

And Wes Craven has been quick to point out that one of the main characters or MORE!! is going to die regardless of any previous statements he made that they will all live. I don't know about y'all but I wish that he would keep them 3 around since he did for this long. I mean they are the reasons Ghostface survived this long anyways, right?

The Trio

Now moving on to Wes Craven and his possibility in the film...well the short answer is that it is all up in the air for right now. Everything must be perfect to him down to the script and timing. Which ultimately means that he's only going to put his name on this project if it looks like it's going to be able to rack up more cash than the last one. Also, according to him he needs a much needed "summer time off" filled with booze, naked chicks, and drugs.

For all your Ghostface and Sydney fans Scream-Triology.net is a great site to keep update with all Scream information.
