Cannibal Holocaust

"A masterpiece of cinematographic realism." —Sergio Leone, legendary director

Releases 

11/24

One of the most notorious and controversial horror films ever made, here is the cult classic that surpasses its reputation as a shot-gun blast to the senses...

Legendary director Ruggero Deodato's CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST presents the "found footage" of a group of four documentary filmmakers who experience brutal death at the hands of a savage South American tribe of flesh-eaters. This footage is so intense, so graphic and so unflinching in its realism that the filmmakers of CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST were arrested upon its original release and the film seized!

Nothing you have seen before will prepare you for this uncompromising masterpiece of cinematic nihilism.

Creepy Crawlers

Creepy Crawlers

This photo was taken at the Goth Hotel in Hollywood, CA. For the record the Goth Hotel is not an actual Hotel, but a place a friend of mine was housesitting. A quite spooky place I might add.

All the decor was creepy crawlers and other such macabre items. 

How many creepy crawlers do you see in this photo. I spy three with my evil eyes. 

Boo! 

TGIF! 15 days until Halloween!!!

Vote Early!

"Maximum big surprise she knows something new
I pull my shirt off and pray
I'm saving myself to suffer the heat wave
Pull my shirt off and pray

We're coming up on re-election day, aw" - Election Day, Arcadia  

Here are some election tips: Vote early (as you can see I did) if possible put your ballot in a drop box rather than mailing it, for obvious reasons. Now just do it!

Please don't mess with me, I'll dig your granny up and use her as a Halloween decoration, tis the season after all

BTW Nudes are overrated. Send me a video of you reading out loud so I know you aren't dumb. The more you know...

Even The Twilight Zone isn't this f#cked up, think about it, but not too much

I know I'm late to the game just started binging Only Murders in the Building. What a well done, fun show Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez make the perfect trio.

John Carpenter's Halloween (1978) just received a 30 minute standing ovation from me in my bedroom after viewing it for the 100th time. 

I refuse to feel shame for embracing my _______ nature. Time to own it Minions, the blank is yours to fill in

Can't wait to see the restored, uncensored, director's cut of Ken Russell's The Devils tomorrow. I love this film and am excited the see it the way it was meant to be seen.

Woman Crush of the Week - Vanessa Redgrave who plays Sister Jeanne a sexually obsessed nun in The Devils. There is no one else who cold have pulled this off, she's amazing!

Reminder Horror Fans (like me): Crystal Lake the Friday the 13th prequel series drops today on Peacock.

Remember your first visit to a Haunted House? I do...

Things that make you go hmmm...a 22 year old model got a nose job so her future kids will inherit her new nose not her "ugly nose"

Hitting The Horror Show Exhibition at the Academy Museum sometime in the next couple of weeks

I'm craving a Goldburger presently, yummy!

Hump Day & Chill

Alexander Skarsgard

Here's the sexy Alexander Skarsgard at the premiere of his latest Wicker. Here's the synposis:

"On the outskirts of a village by the sea, lives a Fisherwoman; smelly, single and perpetually ridiculed. One day, fed up with her stuffy, small-minded neighbors, she commissions herself a husband to be made from wicker. In an otherwise conservative town, this unconventional romance sparks outrage, jealousy and chaos."

Alexander plays the man made of Wicker, naturally. 

What's that you ask? Why would one Hump Day & Chill to this? Wait for it...

See what it says on his shirt???

"Yes" please... now Hump Day & Chill to THAT!!!

Where The Wild Roses Grow

Everything's Coming Up Roses
Kylie Minogue & Nick Cave

One of my favorite duets is Nick Cave & Kylie Minogue "Where The Wild Roses Grow" off of his brilliant 1996 album Murder Ballads (Yes, I have it.)

The concept for the album goes like this:

"As a traditional musical genre, murder ballads date back to 17th-century Europe, where street singers and broadside ballads functioned as early forms of crime reporting or "oral tabloids" detailing real or fictional crimes of passion."

I won't give away any of the story you can cut to the video and enjoy it after the jump!

Tis the season after all...18 days till Halloween, Silver Shamrock IYKYK

Creature Feature

Rico Browning

Here's something to kick off your weekly grind. "Yes" it's a BTS image from the classic Creature From The Black Lagoon. 

Here's some "Creature Feature" trivia: The 1954 classic horror film Creature from the Black Lagoon used dual actors, split locations, and innovative underwater filming techniques to bring the Gill-man to life

The gentleman pictured is Rico Browning . He performed without a scuba tank or goggles, holding his breath for up to four minutes at a time. 

Impressive...

Hello Monday...time to get your creature on!!!

"Carrie" Turns 50

"Crazy Carrie"

Last night I attended the 50th Anniversary Screening of the Brian DePalma classic "Carrie" at Hollywood Forever Cemetery as a VIP with my friend Scott Jacobs in tow.

The evening was hosted by Janelle Monae and it was a blast! I was too young to see "Carrie" when it first opened in theaters, thus my only experience viewing it has been relegated to video until now...

Seeing it blown up in epic proportions at Hollywood Forever it made much more of an impact, I must say. Anyway catch a vicarious thrill and enjoy my images from last night's to do. 

Carrie White Burns In Hell!
