Marble Hornets

So that creepy doll vid that Dave posted is part of a larger thing called "Marble Hornets".

It's basically an online, viral sort of horror movie, alternate reality gamish type thing. Think LonelyGirl21 meets X-Files. I was intrigued by Dave's post and wound up watching all of it yesterday.

It starts here:

The one Dave posted is part of a series of "replies" to the original poster, that are also part of the story.

There is a wiki for Marble Hornets.

Overall I'd say it is a pretty well done and very creepy zero-budget...thing. Whatever you'd call it. And they're not done with it.

Vintage Halloween costumes...

...are scary as shit.

Simple but freaky Halloween prank

Haunted Legend of Zelda cartridge

By now I figure everyone's read the amazing Dionaea House and Ted's Caving Page. What I've got here is another example of creepy metafiction, notable for its unlikely source - a Legend of Zelda cartridge - and its surprisingly effective (and ridiculously detailed) execution. I think it starts a little hokey, but the deeper you get into it, the more real it seems.

There're even YouTube vids that accompany it.

Army of 50,000 Persian Skeletons Arises From the Desert

Or something like that.

Jamie, this seemed very up your alley, but it's also just cool in general...

Vanished Persian army said found in desert
50,000 soldiers believed buried by a cataclysmic sandstorm in 525 B.C.

The remains of a mighty Persian army said to have drowned in the sands of the western Egyptian desert 2,500 years ago might have been finally located, solving one of archaeology's biggest outstanding mysteries, according to Italian researchers.

Bronze weapons, a silver bracelet, an earring and hundreds of human bones found in the vast desolate wilderness of the Sahara desert have raised hopes of finally finding the lost army of Persian King Cambyses II. The 50,000 warriors were said to be buried by a cataclysmic sandstorm in 525 B.C.

"We have found the first archaeological evidence of a story reported by the Greek historian Herodotus," Dario Del Bufalo, a member of the expedition from the University of Lecce, told Discovery News.

Lego Rock Band: Ghostbusters

We're probably on the cusp of re-setting the blog back to normal, but as long as the Halloween theme is up...

Lego Rock Band in action:

I think I'll be happy enough to just import the tracks to regular Rock Band, but the themed Lego stuff is kinda fun. If only there was death metal...

Dibbuk Box

An eBay auction leads into a supernatural mystery...LINK HERE

Bit of a wall of text on this one, but the story that unfolds has lots of creepy bits and even a "finale" of sorts. Apparently it's been optioned for a movie, too, as there's an IMDB page.

Creepy Venture Capitalist Jesus:

Jesus Gets a Date:

He saves and then you bust him up:

Coach Jesus:

The Faith Tones:

Open your eyes and you will see him everywhere:

And, last but most certainly not least: Jesus wants you to turn him on...

Interesting horror trailer

For the upcoming movie Paranormal Activity, clearly from the Blair Witch/[REC] genre...

There's always music in the air...

I am quite certain this has graced the blog before, but I was re-watching some Twin Peaks at work today and was rather astounded to discover that I had completely forgotten about the weird ass dream sequence. Hence, I share with you an odd interlude with a delightfully bizarre tiny human bein' who comes bearing good news. Enjoy.
