So the other day I came across this flick that created some sparks along the darker side of my imagination.

Lotta good physical horror in this one...simple effective sets...dark psychological/sciencey/evolutionary concepts...tragic ending...bondage..good stuff like that.

Rupture..that's the name of it.

IT's finally going to release here tomorrow along with Kingsman: Golden Circle & Darren Aronofsky's MOTHER! If everything goes right, hopefully going to watch Mother & IT back to back at the theater soon. ::cool::

They are just a joy to watch... the simpatico and yin-yang of the duo feels like family. I've seen a few of their films, but really I only remember the classic "Who's On First" routine. I know Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein is considered some fine cinema, and I'm pretty sure I watched it with my mom, but I really don't remember anything from it. I feel like the whole movie would be one of the monsters would be behind Abbott, and then Costello would be doing is conflagration breakdown trying to tell him. ::big grin::

Hey Roiff? Where does your avatar 'werewolf' pic come from?

http://horror.com/forum/customavatars/avatar89697_23.gif

When I saw it, it eerily reminded me of this album cover:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/54/Kansas_-_Freaks_of_Nature.jpg/220px-Kansas_-_Freaks_of_Nature.jpg

That's Kansas' "Freaks of Nature". It's a picture of Adrian Jeftichew -- he (and his father) suffered from a condition called hypertrichosis. Adrian worked the circus sideshow circuit in Russia, until he was purchased by PT Barnum and brought to the US. They gave him the stage name "Jo-Jo the Dog-Faced Boy". Barum came up with the performance story that a hunter tracked Adrian and his father down to their cave and captured them, that they were savage, and stressing he looked like a dog, obliged that Adrian growl and bark.

Pretty good album. Here's the title track:

Dang I haven't looked up hypertrichosis in ages. It always made me sad the way the people with it were treated. Isn't much different today from what I've seen, there are still 'dog faced boys' in freak shows. At least they're not made to growl and bark.

This here's an excerpt from a book I'm readin'.....

"What I fear is personal to me. It makes no sense in a larger context. The signs of my dread, the images my brain uses, if you like, to illustrate my fear, those signs are mild stuff by comparison with the real horror that's at the root of my personality."

Love Hitchcock!

Speaking Hitchcock and the Birds...

I was just listening to an NPR interview with Tippi Hedren (the Birds, Marnie), her daughter Melanie Griffiths (Something Wild), and her daughter Dakota Johnson (The Social Network), where Tippi was talking about her last day with Alfred Hitchcock...

Tippi said that she was called in to Alfred's office, and conjured her to get-it-on with him there, when she refused, she said he forced himself on her, and she pushed him off. She said he said if she didn't comply she would have a hard time getting any work (as he held her contract). She said she told him "Do what you got to do!", left and slammed the door harder than she ever had before or since.

[Dead Bad Things]

Yeah well...showbiz is a sleazy industry ya know.....that kinda thing sure tarnishes our icons, but I'll still celebrate their works.

Birds was real formative in in my love fer horror....saw it fer the first time from the back seat of a car at a drive in movie theater..was a double feature R.S.'s Alien and A.H.'s The Birds...that scene were the lady gets her eyes pecked out.. messed me up in a good way....think I mighta been seven 'er eight at the time.

So the other day I saw this documentary on Funk and they was sayin' 'bout havin' a hall of fame put up....well this got me thinkin'.....Horror Hall of Fame!
Saw on YT that Robert Englund did a show in the early 90's...
categories could include things like books, authors, films ,actors , directors...
gotta mull that one over a bit...

Totally agree, can still appreciate the work of the artist that isn't perfect, to whatever the unpleasant extent. And anyway, individuals don't make films, teams do. Dial M for Murder is still my favorite Hitchcock film. Did you ever see "Rope"? That's a very cool Hitch film too. I consider both of them horror.

I was about the same age when I saw The Birds on TV, and the missing pecked out eyes had a huge effect on me too.

A Horror Hall of Fame 'museum' and awards show is an excellent idea. Right now the highest honor in horror film is probably the Saturn Awards for Horror film. But ya, there's so many other categories in books, graphic novel and music, and you'd have to be thinking horror icons too.

I love story telling (one live speaker telling a story to an audience). Ever go to a story telling event? There should be an award for best horror story telling too. ::cool::

I say go for it. Those are only estimates. I usually get stuff way before the date. Plus, most places offer speedy delivery for a higher price. You can even make some calls. Worse comes to worst, you can print a nice picture of the gift and wrap that up in a box that would be the same size as the gift.

I'm sure a lot of you heard about the YouTube vlogger that went into the Suicide Forest and posted a vlog with a picture of a hanging body. People were appalled and he had to delete it (obvi). But I did watch another vlogger document his night in the forest. It was interesting.

I didn't see it. It is a controversial issue. If we see that vlogger's video of Suicide Forest and picture/vid of hanging body as "inappropriate entertainment", then we can understand the outrage.

On the other-hand, if it's meant to shake society into seeing this is a real issue that needs to be addressed an acted upon by people with depressed loved ones, by leaders of society and so on, then is, or was, an important message. And whether the vid is taken down or not, perhaps the vlogger should not be banned, etc.

In either, or both, cases Youtube and society still has to look at the big picture of the consequences of allowing vids of this type.

[Bloof]

Well apparently the vlogger, Logan Paul, and some of the friends with him were giggling and disrespectful. I just don't see how that could be true..who would do that?

[hammerfan]

Logan Paul and his brother are pieces of shit. I can't watch their videos. Some online friends were talking about this particular video. It's true. They did film an actual dead body in Suicide Forest in Japan. And were completely disrespectful. And then he issued a completely insincere apology.

I had never heard of him til this all came about. I couldn't believe young adult men could be such asswipes about something like that. I guess I could understand if someone laughed nervously but even that's a stretch.

There's a series of videos on YouTube that I watch called Facts. It's basically Irish people (it's based in Dublin) eating different foods, drinking different things, and watching various shows/movies/videos. There was one that had them watching his YouTube channel.

BTW, I highly recommend the Facts. videos. They are hysterical! Especially when they're drinking booze or doing things while they're drunk.

[MichaelMyers]

Wow. Looks like Insidious will beat Star Wars at this week's box office.

[Sculpt]

Oh, ok, that is revolting behavior. I didn't see the vid, never heard of vlogger either, just heard about it on NPR. Naturally NPR buttressed the story with some info on the 'suicide forest'. In spite of the vlogger, hopefully some good can come from attention to the issue.

[Bloof]

Well, I have to admit I was able to find a fair portion of the video last night. So i saw "the body" but the face was blurred. Logan and his friends did indeed act like asshats . It seemed more out of shock at first but then they seemed to be playing it up a bit. Pretty sure it was a male teen and he was very well-dressed. I don't know why that surprised me. The body was found within a few minutes from the parking lot. Dear soul.

[Dead Bad Things]

Sounds interesting. How would you sum it up? They lay it down on brain deformations or what?

Yeah man first...x-ray shots of normal and homicidal brains....goes on and talks about the anatomy of empathy....brain circuits and how they get activated or suppressed from extreme altruists to psychopaths...great diagram showin' which coils of the brain do stuff like viscerally reacting to other's physical pain...

You guys should look up Ma'nene Festival if you're not familiar with it. I found out about it by accident and it's fascinating.

[Dead Bad Things]

Yo! that does look cool as heck Roiff.....what a great custom to preserve the fantasy of life after death. Let's go down there and pick up chicks.

[Roiffalo]

Lol, live or dead? If I can get a new addition to my collection then I'm game. ::wink::

But in all seriousness. I wish the US celebrated Halloween with the same importance and respect that other countries did with their dead. Here we put our dead loved ones in the ground and that's about it. We might occasionally think of them, but we don't celebrate their lives. Once upon a time that's what Halloween was about. That's what the Ma'nene Festival is about, that's what Dios De Los Muertos is about. And it's beautiful. I want to be apart of that. Because death is nothing to fear. It's another adventure.

I saw Coco and am feeling sentimental...

I somewhat disliked Pat because she reminded me of someone’s boss. I also loved her because, when she spoke, she still used words like “mightn’t” and “chagrined”, as she did when she said to me, “You know what? I’m gonna chew Lorna a new hole. Again, she didn’t remember to close the transom on the Ladies when she closed last night. It looks so unfinished to me.” And then, “You know, I saw you chewin' the lips offa Rosa Tahntoon last night. That trollop mightn’t like you so much without the twenty and drinks you rolled at her. The sight of it all left me chagrined.” Pat had managed to irk me on a Thursday at 8:47 in the morning, just a mere 17 minutes since Bobby’s had opened, and when I had a hangover that would have killed most living things. I don’t know if it was my condition, the annoying skip on the Fred Waring 45 in the juker, or the fact that Pat was spewing this diatribe with breath that would smelt iron ore, but I lost composure for an amount of time. My energy lasted only long enough to allow me to shout, “Pat, you have such class, and you are a veritable fount of pleasantry. However, I am somewhat, but not entirely, chagrined that you have not trotted your cottage cheese over here and poured me another Pabst and an Irish Rose sider!” She sauntered over, poured me like she didn’t own it and wisped, “You still ain’t paid your tab. Prick.” I pondered things like children’s cereals and being electrocuted by a toaster. I lit a soggy Kool that I had found in the parking lot . It felt like Death was walking my dog. It was gonna be a good day.

So locally (by that I mean 50 miles or so as the crow flies) there's a geological formation called Devil's Gap and there's a ghost called the Camas Watchman at this other location.

Plus out on the OR. coast there's a place I've always wanted to go called The Devil's Punch Bowl. ::smile::

What the Lino Says Back to Me at 3:00 AM

Overheard at Shemmie’s aka (There's Something in Your Bluebird)

Spee Ungle swore to me that he overheard elements of a conversation that would titillate and amuse. I was annoyed by the globs of sweat on his forehead as he informed, “I slept like a dog last night.”

He hoisted his pilsner to his lips as I provided a rejoinder. “You’re saying that you were sleeping all lonesome and afraid with a relentless hard-on. Cryssakes, Spee. I can remember when your words could still talk, and now you’ve come to this. It’s' log', not 'dog', you fuck. By the way, some passersby were heard saying things about you and the corsair.”

Spee pulled up some spine and opined with his breath and his lips and his pieces-of-corn teeth. All too close and rubbing up against he said,

“The corsair and the whispering mad-house effect, and then they tell ya that ya gotta go. She never thought. She never remembered my time in the whispering place. For the love of all that is holy, my mind allots too much time to itself. No thinking is better. Heart is better. Life will always chase itself like the puppy and her tail.”

I pulled hard into my toasted cheese on wheat and considered casket linings for the rich.

I had been fired from more positions than ever existed at Bobby's. However, a natural currying of favor had transpired to my advantage, merely because I had become so familiar to the owner and the tenured employees there. Even though I spent more time on this side of the bar, they still remembered when I could work it back there and tongue the butter. Despite my poor work record and my being a nuisance, as well as an inveterate and incessant partaker of certain libations while employed at or visiting this establishment, I was still eclipsed, and my badge of failure rescinded, by the actions of Sheckie Carntern as he was dismissed in 1981. Upon his termination of employment after only twenty minutes, he was heard to say, "I only had the shirt on for a minute, and I made it stink.".., and "I only sported the trousers for thirty seconds, and I sh*t 'em." I remember admiring his style as it applied to his response, while I lifted his wallet. (He wasn't going to need it. I suspected he would do the right thing and check himself out.) Also, he went all abrupto pit-stain in the end. I've reconsidered my admiration for his style. Now, I just think that he's a prick.

There isnt anything to do here so I am just a homebody nowadays How have you been mang?

[Morningriser]

Black Hole

My soul is an endless black hole
Relentlessly longing for the bells to toll
Darkness brings death while the light gives birth
I desire this hole closed and realize my worth
Through desolate fields of fire and ash I roam
Following a single beam of light that leads me home
What will I find when I reach the end?
Greeted by nothing or perhaps a friend?
My journey has been long and not nearly complete
I have so much to tell yet I remain discreet
So many thoughts with such few words
With no way to express what most find absurd
But when the day comes I say my peace
I hope I can smile for my soul's release

Happy Easter, Everybody!

We had extra folks at our church this week. Families with kids too. It was nice to meet them. Cool peps. It was a bit nippy outside, but I was able to take a nice sunny walk through my local cemetery. Finally took the opportunity to check out this big rock boulder in the Cem. It's pretty rough, so I wasn't sure what it was. Yep, it had a plaque on it with a very cool message on it. Something like, "take the time to take in your world and universe. Look inside to your love and goodness. Show that love and goodness to the world. In loving memory of So-and-so who touched more lives than he knew."

Interesting question... we got:

Aliens - Area 51, Lincoln County, Nevada
Witches/ghosts - Salem, MA
Bigfoot - Washington state
Coven/Ghosts - New Orleans
Manson Family - Southern CA
Amityville House - Long Island, New York
Ed Gein - Plainfield, Wisconsin
John Wayne Gacy - Chicago, IL

I guess I'd vote Salem Mass, or general New England area

Probably have to agree with New England and New Orleans.

It's pretty rough, so I wasn't sure what it was. Yep, it had a plaque on it with a very cool message on it. Something like, "take the time to take in your world and universe. Look inside to your love and goodness. Show that love and goodness to the world. In loving memory of So-and-so who touched more lives than he knew."

I am glad your Satanic black mass went well. I hope you gave lots of inspirational satanic remarks.

Has anyone ever wondered if movie companies pay Rotten Tomatoes for high scores? The way they score some movies lead me to believe they accept bribes.

Well... I think there have always been some critics who seem to lean heavily more as film promoters. I could be off, as I haven't researched this person, but I remember 'film critic' Gene Shalit as always being quoted for films, and film box covers, saying cleaver commercial praise for films. Naturally, I'd never believe a word he said.

But back to your question... I highly doubt it. Basically critics run by reputation. If they take bribes, or keep giving praise to crappy films, they lose their audience/readers/clicks/subscribers. It's just not a lasting business model. But I suppose it could happen occasionally.

Here's a random thought:
I came back here after a few years absence, mostly because my job quit blocking it from our internet, to be honest. I was looking forward to talking about horror movies again, with my old cronies.
Every single new member starts an account just to pimp their own shit. I'm no mod, obviously, but I would ban every single person whose post count is 75%, or more, pertaining to selling something or linking to something. It is disgusting.
People have no shame or class anymore.
That's just a random thought, and I'm just disappointed and venting that this place only attracts leeches these days.

I'm with you, KF... I don't so much mind the links and self-promo posts... it's more the lack of responding to real peoples' comment-posts that makes this place more sucky. What I'm doing now is replying to your post. That's what's missing these days.

Exactly. It plays to the stereotype that people do not communicate these days. They act like this is a horror Craigslist. Sign up, pimp their shit, and ignore everything else.

"HEY DUDES, do you like HORROR???????????? WELL tHeN, CHECK OUT MY thing I did!!!!!"

Post #1. I had the decency to wait years until I had the nerve to link to something I wrote.

[Morningriser]

I dont see anything wrong with regulars posting their links here, I mean thats what certain sections are for but these people who make an account and 1 post to promote their books, website, movie, or to just ask a single question about a movie or something annoys the hell out of me to be honest.

[Bloof]

I think thats pretty common across all the forums. Sometimes people join, not even pushing anything, and then we never hear from them again. Then we had someone like Jake, who at first was promoting his book and turned out to be a great member. So thats cool. You sometimes hope it goes that way with all new members. ::cool::

[Dead Bad Things]

Read a book.

And that's the only reason I would read what you wrote, because I'd get to know you from your posts. Same thing with looking at someone's artwork, or film, or podcast, or blog. I might be different than other folk, but I have other things to read/watch/listen to outside this forum if I didn't get to know them a bit first.

Ya, like asking a question, getting an answer or two, and not bothering to say thank you... no basic manners. ::sad::

Read a book.
Have any good recommendations, DBT?

I haven't read from it in awhile, but last book I purchased to read was a biography of Heinz Guderian, german general credited with developing blitzkrieg warfare. I picked it up in an antique store while my family was browsing. Not bad so far, talks about him getting married, going to war college, being in the new wireless battalion during WWI. It wasn't what he wanted, but during the war he learned what radio could do, and how it wasn't yet being used. He would eventually introduce them into tanks.

[knife_fight]

Obviously I'm cool with people posting stuff about their books/blogs/whatever if they have the common courtesy to establish that they understand that the purpose of a forum isn't just a craigslist for horror. I mean, I straight up admitted that I'd done it myself.


I just wanted to vent. When there's a grand total of about 10 posts on here a day (on a good day), and half of them are from members with less than 20 posts trying to sell you something...
It's just irritating.

Anyway, seems like yall wanna discuss books. What's a good book to check out? The last great horror writer I discovered was Thomas Ligotti. Anyone into him? It's weird fiction, like a modern Lovecraft.

[hammerfan]

I haven't been posting much. Too much going on in my life. But, I have been keeping an eye on the place. Just to make sure y'all don't get too feisty with each other. ::big grin::::wink::

[Morningriser]

Feisty? Us? Naaaaaah!!! ::devil::

I am getting so excited about my big move to Vegas! I have everything ready to go and now I am just impatiently waiting for May 5th to board the Greyhound and leave this hellhole behind once and for all.

Lol, i dont want to be a Debbie Downer but I'd hate to see you set yourself up for disappointment. Be cautiously optimistic. It does sound great though.

First off hit up yer local library. This increases demand for horror in the public square...H.P. Lovecraft, R. Matheson, fer some old timey creeps...Del Howison, Ellen Datlow, Lori Perkins, and Paula Guran have some good anthologies...Early S.King is always a good bet.

[Morningriser]

I will be sure to hit up a dispensary since weed is legal there now. When I was there a few years ago only medical was legal and I got more baked than I ever have lol

They said that it was rib.

See the slice of the portion and you opted with the red in the urine, and with the flask.
She went all angel and pushed with breath and breasts while her mother was no god again.
She put some in the orphan's home while they were 20 years of age.
These things are what it takes to put down most of the thoughts

Totally agree! Go to the library. Also, donate your old books, cassettes, CDs, video tapes and DVDs there. Thanks, for the recommendations!

What do you like to do after you get high?

See the slice of the portion and you opted with the red in the urine, and with the flask
I most certainly did not.

[Morningriser]

What do you like to do after you get high?

I seem to play a lot of video games when I am high but I don't really have any kind of routine so I guess just whatever I am in the mood to do.
