Great collection of Halloween-related videos on EIT.

23.) Would you rather influence or be influenced?

I’m going to assume you copied this question from some other application and forgot to remove the “or be influenced”.  More accurately, I want to control people. Brainwash them if possible.

24.) Do you feel you have leadership abilities?

I am leadership personified. I once led a pack of goats through a pasture to be cleaned. I led lines of traffic into parking lots to successfully and efficiently park themselves. I led a group of people on a first place scavenger hunt. I can lead in all facets of life.

25.) Do you consider yourself a good judge of character?

Yeah. If I like you, you’re cool and OK. Sane even. If I don’t like you, you fucking suck and are a horrible person, a liar, a cheat, a scoundrel. Easy.
I do have to admit that sometimes I think people are out to get me when they actually turn out to be my friends. I usually only discover this however towards the end of a torture session, when it’s too late to save them. I still don’t feel any remorse for the killings.

26.) In what organizations do you hold membership?

I have and do hold membership in several high class groups/societies/clubs that I am very proud of. These include:

• The Boy Scouts – as far I know I never officially quit.
• The New York Horror Movie Meetup – potential breeding ground for other Satanists. I’m on the inside.
• Equinox Fitness Club – keeps me prepared for the apocalypse.
• Daughters of the American Revolution – A friend of a friend of a friend got me in to this one. No easy task.
• LEGO Brickmaster Club – Prepares me for eventually building real castles, bomb shelters, battleships, fighter planes, space cruisers. I also get LEGOs in the mail, and then get to pull LEGO people’s heads off.
• Amnesty International – Need to cancel this one for obvious reasons.
• The United States Democratic Party – Because I had to choose.
• New York Public Library – My inside track to eventually get a hold of the Satanic Bible.

2! Only two fucking days left until the greatest day of the year!

2, for twins. Twins scared the shit out of millions of moviegoers in the 1980 horror classic The Shining:

For more twins in horror movies, check this list out.

There's a cock on that shoe

3 days until Halloween!  3 for Pierre Molinier, creepy fetishist and all-around pervert who died on March 3rd, 1976. Maker of some awesome photography and apparently the type of everyday guy who likes to have sex with his dead sister’s corpse (read the wikipedia). Stay brutal.

This meat hand recipe on not martha is absolutely amazing, and absolutely disgusting (which I believe is the desired result).

4. For the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

The 4 Horsemen have been around for quite some time. I never got to know them back when they originally banded together, but here’s my take on how life would be treating them these days.

Pestilence

Pestilence is doing pretty well these days. Scurvy, polio, and mumps have been replaced with STDs and several virulent forms of cancer (not like that’s anything new).

Fig 1: Pestilence

Death

Never really understood this Horsemen. Guess he was more of the vulture type, picking up the death scraps where the other 3 didn’t cover. Lots of people are still dying, so Death is keeping busy too.

Famine

Depending upon what part of the world you reside in, Famine is either hard at work or hardly working. Being that I reside in the United States, Famine is definitely losing the battle. Quite the opposite. Obesity has pretty much superseded Famine as the most prevalent horseman in the U.S.

War

I’m not going all politico and saying something like Bush was War. War sucks ass in general and that Horseman needs to just leave the world alone. Or maybe he should focus more on the War on Drugs!

On October 5th, 1952, Clive Barker was born. Clive Barker is without a doubt one of my all-time favorite authors and film directors.

The Books of Blood are probably my favorite collection of horror shorts/novellas (I wrote a bit about the 2nd volume here).

And of course there is the Hellraiser series. I don’t think any character or concept frightened me as much as Pinhead did.

Happy 57th Clive!

This article on the worst vampire products had me dying. Included is a Twilight shower curtain, Tru Blood soda, and even a reusable sexy vampire menstrual pad (no lie). So many horrible options available, but he nailed it pretty well here.

So on my birthday, I got drunk and wandered into Toy Tokyo which was a huge mistake (OK not really, I actually did WANT to be there) and ended up with several hundred dollars worth of toys. The Darkside Kids collection was one of them.

Being close to Halloween, anything that remotely resembles a skull or a pumpkin grabs my attention like Dino Cazares grabs twinkies (OOOOOOOOOH FACED!).

Allow me to introduce you to the crew. We have from left to right, Pumpkin, Jr., and Bone.

Neat.
