More horror candy in London

Saturday, January 24th, 2009 by Price

Drunkenly stumbled upon this particular bag last night. Still a lame-ass bag, but at least it’s Dracula. And just like the bag says, they’re frighteningly good.

Interview with Bruce Campbell

Nobody that would read this site wouldn’t be interested in such things. Nobody doesn’t like Sarah Lee.

“Bitches”, you can’t tell me that title will stick

Friday, January 23rd, 2009 by Price

This is a bit of old news, but Fox has announced that it’s going to develop a show this year called “Bitches“, which is supposed to be Sex and the City with werewolves. A bottle of wine deep last night, I had a few thoughts regarding this:

  1. First and foremost, who does Fox think they’re fooling by using a titled called Bitches? That’s really going to attract the female viewers. Not that females will be watching the show anyways, but still. The chance of it staying is as good as the odds of Rob Zombie making a good movie.
  2. I love horror. The more the merrier. But this recent obsession with horror-based TV shows is getting annoying. I could live with Dexter and True Blood, but with this and other projects rumored to be in the works, I’m worried that we’ll have an overload of horror resulting in a dark age again of crappy early 80′s horror.
  3. Werewolves just aren’t nearly as cool as other creatures. They just turn into wolves and run around killing people. You can do that without becoming a wolf.
  4. Fox sucks.
  5. No werewolf idea will ever compare to Teen Wolf.

Idle Hands plaything from Toy Tokyo

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009 by Vincent

I got over the “urban vinyl” thing about 5 years ago immediately after purchasing 1 or 2 or the damn things (and probably spending $300 doing so). That said, this new “toy” from someone known as Mr Sisson (never heard of you) is pretty God damn cool. It was created by the same artist responsible for these amazing pieces of artwork.

 

Look at that thing! That’s a great desk decoration if there’s ever been one. Limited to an initial run of 500, Idle Hands (as it is known) is the first in what is supposed to be a series of of demonic statues being released through the best store ever, Toy Tokyo.

I’m considering buying one. Oh, they’re $60. No I’m not. But you should.

Happy 50th Birthday to Linda Blair!

Just adorable that she’s still kickin’. One day we’ll all be sucking cocks in hell but until that day we’ll have The Exorcist to love and cherish.

Random cover art rant

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009 by Vincent

Remember when metal bands had amazing cover art? I know Cannibal Corpse and Black Dahlia Murder do. I know Disturbed doesn’t. It used to be that 50% of the fun of discovering an amazing band’s album was staring at the blood curdlingly incredible artwork on the front of the cd (or album if you were lucky) as you took your first trip through sonic hell. The fact that you’d blindly spent $15 on the thing made it all that much more exciting when it didn’t suck.

Now I know I’m not the only online whiner to bring this up in the last 10 years. I’m sure there are 4,000 posts exactly like this one being posted RIGHT NOW. And there are plenty of bands who still put effort into their album art even though none of you shits actually purchase their records, AND these bands still tour their asses off and try to make ends meet. The problem with most of these bands is that I think they suck. They have all the right ingredients: shredded vocals, two speedy guitarists, At The Gates riffs, At The Gates vocals and blastbeats, but honestly most of them sound like little more than the sum of their parts. And guess what? After hearing 6 million bands like that over the last 5 years Vincent doesn’t want to hear any more.

He really just wants to hear more that sound like this one:

I found out about this band yesterday and they still sound exciting, brutal, and evil. That’s right, one whole day later and I still think they’re fantastic. Every style they touch upon is executed incredibly well.

And holy crap look at the album art. Well done, gentlemen; you made an awesome cover and put some awesome music behind it.

I miss the old internet…

You know, when every page looked like this one about Magick (I highly recommend the jukebox).

Thankfully there are some people keeping the torch burning by making animated cats.
Such things possess the form of glory we were only hinting at in the days of spinning skulls…

[I don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings. Price and I both love cats (True. Read the about page), and I assure you it was all we could do to not cover this page in animated gifs.]
