Evil skulls, to be precise. This is a couple of months old, but still pretty cool.

Artist Beto Janz recycled snapped boards and turned them into skulls like this one.

Once upon a time, Vincent and I attempted to skateboard. It didn’t end well. However, reaching a 3rd life crisis, we may pick it back up. If we do, we intend to procure the evilest of boards.

Check out this article on 1800Recycling (a friend sent this to me, I would have never found this website, but it does remind me of this Anal C*nt song) for more pieces of work.

Last night, as part of the TriBeCa Film Festival, Price and I saw what is billed as the “first Israeli horror movie” – Rabies. Whether that’s true or not I can’t attest to (I don’t honestly see how it could be, but it’s irrelevant). The movie was really damn good. The entire film was shot in Israel, and the dialog is in Hebrew, so you’ll need to be able to scan subtitles pretty quickly (who knew Israelis spoke at 400 wpm?).

Below is the trailer. I can’t imagine it won’t get picked up for wide release shortly, so when it does, catch it.

Note – The trailer is not subtitled, but you really don’t need subtitles to understand the international language of gore, terror, boobs, and woodland urination.

There is a lot of good horror-related stuff coming up this summer. TV and Movies come to mind. And other debauchery. More to come soon, we promise.

There are some movies that suck. There are some movies that are good and you’ll always watch if they happen to come on TV (Terminator 2). There are some movies you say are amazing, but won’t even spend the time/energy to watch again (Memento).

Then, you have those movies that make you lose your shit immediately after watching, calling/texting/sexting/tweeting at all your friends, telling them “YOU MUST SEE THIS NOW.” This is EXACTLY how I felt after watching Piranha 3D.

DISCLAIMER: I didn’t actually see it in 3D. DISCLAIMER: It doesn’t matter at all. Much like watching Jason 3D, you figure out which parts were meant for 3D, and it kinda makes it funnier.

This post should be titled “we” saw Piranha 3D actually. Vincent saw it too, equally loving the cornucopia of gore and cleavage.

I seriously died (funny!) laughing so often throughout this movie. It starts off normal enough, and then shit just hits the fan. I really don’t want to get into details, but let’s just say it’s nonstop once it starts.

Jerry O’Connell is absolutely hysterical. I’ve liked him in the past, but he really pulls one on this time. This movie is omniscient, since you could substitute Charlie Sheen for his character  and not tell the difference. Ving Rhames is Ving Rhames, just a ridiculous badass. Everyone plays their part spot-on.

And the ending … oh the ending.

A meta point from all of this is that making this movie looked REALLY fun. I mean, literally PARTY PARTY PARTY BLOOD PARTY PARTY BLOOD BLOOD DONE. I love that recipe.

I love Ti West. I honestly think he’s the only horror director around today doing unique work, and he seems to know it because he continues to work very hard at it. His last film, House of the Devil, was brilliant. His new film, The Innkeepers, is set for release “in 2011,” and he recently caught up with FEAR NET at SXSW to discuss the location, filming, and the newly released poster for The Innkeepers. Read up here.

Not that I have a lot of other good examples of Horror comedy TV (Elvira sort of, but she wasn’t the main content. Dead Set was funny, but in a much different way, and was a mini-series anyways). But it is really really good.

A few years ago I got the first two seasons on DVD, and never watched them. Then a few months back, all of them were on the cheap at Best Buy, so I picked up season 5 through 7. However, due to things like Dexter, Walking Dead, True Blood, Boardwalk Empire, Louis, Bored to Death, Eastbound and Down, Gossip Girl, I never got around to watching them. Recently though, I’ve started up with season 5 and blew right through it. And I can’t stress enough how awesome this show is.

Good Fun

For me, most importantly, Tales from the Crypt brings back fond memories. The series was on from 1989 to 1996, just when I was really starting to get into scary movies and horror. More importantly, just when my parents were starting to become a bit brave and allow me to watch some more adult stuff.

It also reminds when horror wasn’t just about creating the goriest scene with the most ridiculous kill scenes. It was always campy and funny, and you’d never get a ton of objections when deciding what to watch with guests. Unlike today, where most of my movies inspire a “eww” or “no way” when trying to decide to what regale my friends with.

The Cryptkeeper

What a horribly cheap and annoying character. Yet, we all loved it. We all hated John Kassir’s shrill voice, yet we loved it.

Everyone went to a Spencer’s gifts in a mall at some point in their teenage years at saw the “lifesize” cryptkeeper doll and wanted it in their room, next to whatever other shit they got from Hot Topic.

Boobs

The show also contained lots and LOTS of boobs, so if you were a young boy just receiving the power of cable television, you were in Heaven.

Any male reading this knows the power of TFTC boobs.

Interesting Facts

• The show was actually nominated for several Emmy’s
• There was a Monsters of Metal compilation album themed around Tales

According to the Deciblog, and I totally agree. I actually enjoy the safety video from Virgin, if only for the little black metal passenger in proper corpsepaint.
