MONSTER MASH-UP: THE SEQUEL (iPod shuffle challenge!)

This worked out awesomely last year, so let's do it again! You remember the deal: you're scoring the trailers for several upcoming horror movies, so put your iPod or MP3 player of choice on shuffle and post the first song you hit for each trailer. That song is the centerpiece of the trailer, and you should write a few lines about how it'd fit the trailer or where it kicks in. Does it make it a comedy? Does it make it a teen movie? A freaky foreign flick? Follow the link to last year's challenge for bitchin' examples.

Here're the new trailer concepts:

1) Haunted House
2) Mad Scientist
3) The Devil!
4) Creepy Aliens
5) SEQUEL! (Choose one of your movies from last year and score its sequel trailer. Pick the movie first, then hit shuffle - no cheats! If you didn't participate last year, your trailer topic is...MUMMY!)

Reminder: You might want to skip the orchestral stuff to avoid being too on the nose and go with mainly pop music.

Lurid Horror Posters! (part 1)

Which exorcism movie are you watching?

Let me help.

Old school D&D commercial

It's awesomely cheesy, but I imagine if I'd watched it as a kid it would have looked like the coolest thing I'd ever seen.

Dante's Inferno: The Video Game

Has anyone played the demo for this yet? It's in the style of God of War and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, where you fight off hordes of enemies, earn lots of combos, weaken big bosses with normal attacks, and eventually take them out in cinematic sequences by pressing certain buttons when prompted.

Lame, right? Naw, man.

I just played the demo, and for all that it's derivative in gameplay, it was WILDLY ENTERTAINING. It's metal beyond all games ever. It's got gore, nudity, and Heavy Metal-style animated sequences. It's unbelievably crass in how it weds the epic poem with brutally awesome combat, but wed them it does...right down to the inclusion of lurid scenes of a nude Beatrice and a cooly creepy visualization of Dante's guide, Virgil.

The demo starts out pedestrian but by the end I wanted to buy the game. And I don't even usually like these kinds of games! Increasingly stunning visuals, too. Genuinely disturbing.

Wow.

That's a lot of symbolism....

One Nation Under God

This being the internet, however...

There's an exceptionally awesome Lovecraftian response image.

"What do you know of Hell, creature?!"

I held off on including this in the recent batch of super-shitty movie trailers because I had to post it during October. Oh yes, it might look like an uplifting, inspirational story on the surface, but stick with the trailer...

AND YOU WILL KNOW FEAR.

Devil music, circa 1968

Well...Now I have to buy this too

I have a huge man-crush for Metallica, and really just the prospect of playing some of the their best work is more than enough to make me pick this up.

Still, the video didn't hurt.

One More Day! One More Day!

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, jackass.

In celebration of Bush getting the *fuck* out of the White House, I give you David Letterman's Top 10 Favorite Bush Moments:

Don't. Play it. ALONE.

Because I was talking about it this morning with Jason Murphy, I give you the vintage trailer for 80s schlock horror classic, Witchboard - a star-making vehicle for Tawny "Whitesnake's Slut" Kitaen!

Surprise, surprise - Maralyn Manson isn't the biggest freak on camera when the guy interviewing him is Bill O'Reilly:

Even in 1783...

Halloween Blogstravaganza Returns

Last year I challenged myself to make a Halloween-themed post for every day in October - and succeeded! This year I'm planning to play it a little more laid back, shooting for a schedule more like once every other day. Less blog hogging, more time for folks to check out whatever AWESOMELY CREEPY thing I've posted.

Let's open with some music to set the scene...

Fulci's Zombie

Phantasm:

Rosemary's Baby
