So the folks over at Bloody Disgusting have decided to start a metal blog. Boner. One of the first entries is for the exclusive premier of 3 Inches of Blood’s new video, Battles and Brotherhood. Bloody Disgusting will actually be sponsoring 3 Inches of Blood’s upcoming tour (with one of my favorite bands, Saviours on support). Check out the video here. [Via MetalSucks]

As an avid Steve Niles fan, and a Criminal Macabre fan to boot, this news excites me greatly. I actually went on a comic purchasing hiatus for quite some time, before Steve Niles was big on the scene, and it was his comics which single-handedly got me back into ‘em.

A movie version Criminal Macabre is in the works, which is a spooky mystery series centered around a man named Cal Macdonald, who is essentially a detective who deals with spirits/ghosts/monsters, but in a cool CSI way which isn’t corny at all.

Here’s to hoping Keanu Reeves doesn’t get the part.

OK. So if you live in Chicago, and are an avid horror fan, don’t have anything to do during the nights of June 1st/2nd/3rd, and most importantly, are either a teenager or an attractive 18-27 year-old woman, then you should try and get a role as an extra in the newest rendition of Nightmare on Elm Street.

Sadly, I don’t fit into either criteria, so I couldn’t tryout if I wanted to. Regardless, there are a few interesting bits in the casting call I feel I need to point out. In fact, I think that some of the details within are pretty moronic:

• “We are searching for attractive women, 18 to 27, who are comfortable working topless in a tasteful pool party scene.”

OK. Now I get it. You are in no way trying to attract anyone who is a horror fan. Because as any horror fan knows, there is absolutely no such thing as a “tasteful” pool party scene. In history. At any point in time. Ever. That is the most egregious  oxymoron I have ever stumbled across in my life.

• “We are shooting nights – nights can start as early as in the afternoon and shoot all through the night until sunup of the next morning.”

Wow, really? Nights start in the afternoon? Why don’t you just say we are shooting for most of the day? I dunno. Stupid to say nights and then just correct yourself.

• “We also need to cast REAL COUPLES. If you want to be considered as one of our real couples please e-mail us a photo of yourself with your boyfriend or girlfriend.”

Right. That proves a lot. I have more pictures of me doing couply things with people I wasn’t actually dating. This makes no sense at all. I’m fairly certain that the audience of a Nightmare on Elm Street film could care less about how “real” the couples look at the pool party.

• “We want to cast teens and their real friends. Please let us know in your e-mail who your friends are that are also sending in pictures!”

Again, what the hell does this matter? And do you really want a mob of friends trying out for this shit? Whatever.

This is a good list. I cringed while reminiscing on the first time I saw these little shits on the TV.

I hate to just cross-post, but while reading about Brian Pulido’s new movie The Graves on Bloody-Disgusting, I noticed a very key point: that mother fucking Randy Blythe, one of the most evil (at least possessing the most evil voice) sons of bitches on earth.

Not only does this movie sound pretty good, but it has an amazing cast apart from Randy, including Tony Todd and Bill Mosely. Still, I am beyond pumped to see Randy in a horror movie. I’m going to take a guess that he gets a gruesome death in the film. One would think he would want it that way.

The fact that this movie is a creation of Brian Pulido is another win for all those who are evil. I remember his Lady Death and Evil Ernie comics as being some of the most gory and edgy comics when I was growing up, pushing the limits of what separated general comics from adult ones.

Nice top 10 list from BD.
