Haha cool!

Final Girls Hang Out, Drink Crystal Lake Wine



There’s nothing cooler than seeing two ladies that are iconic to the Friday the 13th series taking a day to hang out together and pose for photos. Adrienne King (Alice, Friday the 13th 1980) and Amy Steel (Ginny, Friday the 13th Part 2). The two took some time to spend a day together, possibly reminiscing about their Friday the 13th experiences and sipping the now famous Crystal Lake Wine.

It is great to see these two Final Girls together outside of the convention scene. They both look great and are having a great time. Look at the one photo where the wine bottles are on top of the table. Notice the small diorama of Jason jumping out of the lake to grab Alice. Awesome! Photos are courtesy of Amy Steel’s Facebook page.

All that wine got me thinking about Halloween food (don't ask how. lol.) and what would be cool to have on the table. Found some stuff I would love to serve my friends.









Yum!

So what's your Halloween buffet like?

Dig in!

the jello brain mold is especially effective if you fill it with red rasberry filling...once your guests scoop into it and it starts oozing red stuff, it makes for an impressive plate on the table...

bat wings can be made out of merenge dyed black..just pipe the mixture onto a pan in the shape of wings bake and serve...yummy

I wish they have a mold for that!



Mmmm...delicious ideas. I like!

Moviefone: The Best Foreign Vampire and Werewolf Films Ever



Today's lesson: vampires and werewolves, two mythic creatures whose beastly attacks have terrorized generations of audiences around the world.

In America these legends of folklore are portrayed by emo teenagers arguing over who can pout their lips the hardest. And our second-best scenario (Kate Beckinsale starring in a Matrix rip-off) isn't much better.

But these five films from around the world highlight the monstrous potential of these two creatures -- with plenty of fangs, blood and torn limbs.







5. Dog Soldiers (2002)
Country: Great Britain
Director: Neil Marshall










What's It About?

A British squadron is dropped into the Scottish Highlands for a routine training session but quickly finds the slaughtered remains of the previous squadron, who went missing in action.

To their astonishment, the thing responsible for the gruesome crime is a werewolf -- actually a whole family of werewolves. The soldiers fight for survival in unfamiliar terrain, getting picked off one by one, not realizing that the wolves are backing them up right into the monsters' lair.





Why Is it Awesome?

Neil Marshall -- who has quickly gained a rep for being one of the most kinetic action directors -- made his debut on this bloody, violent film.

Taking cues from movies like Predator and Aliens, he loads the movie with tough heroes who refuse to become just another batch of horror movie victims, resulting in a battle where man and monster go to great lengths to destroy one another.

4. Thirst (2009)
Country: South Korea
Director: Park Chan-wook
AKA: Bakjwi










What's It About?

Sang-hyun, a devout priest finds himself with two very troubling dilemmas.

First, after hoping to find a cure for a rare disease, he volunteers himself as a test patient, infecting himself with the fatal illness. A mysterious blood transfusion saves his life and removes all symptoms of the crippling disease, but in order to continue warding off the effects of the disease, he must now feed off of human blood.

And if that wasn't enough to agonize over, Sang-hyun also finds himself attracted to his friend's wife, who is all too willing to let him give into his sinful temptations.





Why Is it Awesome?

Thirst is a perfect demonstration of Park Chan-wook's visual style: depicting extreme violence with intense intimacy, while framing each moment like a stylized portrait.

But beyond the film's look, the movie indulges in all the forbidden taboos that exist with the ancient vampire myth. Thirst is a modern but timeless look at flawed people who succumb to supernatural vices and lose all humanly control.

3. Ginger Snaps (2000)
Country: Canada
Director: John Fawcett










What's It About?

Ginger and Brigitte play two morbidly-obsessed sisters, who happen to be total outcasts at their high school. However, Brigitte feels the two of them growing distant after Ginger begins puberty -- and after she is attacked by the Beast of Bailey Downs, suffering the curse of lycanthropy in the process.

As Ginger begins indulging in sex and drugs, and feeding on fellow students, Brigitte has to find a way to save her sister, stop the bloodshed and convince people that Ginger's new attitude isn't just a case of growing pains.





Why Is it Awesome?

In addition to genuine scares, the film has a lot of dark humor about the awkward pains of puberty.

Featuring great performances from a young cast, and awesome-looking creature effects, it's like An American Werewolf in London by way of John Hughes.

2. Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979)
Country: Germany
Director: Werner Herzog
AKA: Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht










What's It About?

It's legendary director Werner Herzog's interpretation of Bram Stoker's Dracula -- as channeled through a remake of/homage to the 1922 silent German classic Nosferatu.

Dracula travels from Transylvania to Germany, bringing a plague of rats and ship full or corpses with him.





Why Is it Awesome?

It's one of movie history's rare instances of a remake being as good as the original.

The original -- which is available for free in the public domain -- is one of the art form's first horror films, and Herzog's remake pays tribute to the pioneer with the added benefits of moody color cinematography, a lavish production budget and eerie sound design.

And it's capped off by notorious big-screen madman Klaus Kinski donning pale white make-up and fangs to portray the iconic vampire lord.

1. Let the Right One In (2008)
Country: Sweden
Director: Tomas Alfredson
AKA: Låt Den Rätte Komma In










What's It About?

Young Oskar is a timid, lonely boy in 1982 Stockholm. He suffers constant bullying from his classmates, and fantasizes about revenge.

His luck begins to change when Eli, a cute, quiet girl moves into the apartment next to him. Oskar finally gets a close friend who looks out for him, and encourages him to stand up for himself.

But Oskar is unaware that the innocent-looking Eli also lives with a strange man who is killing local residents so that Eli can feast on their blood.





Why Is it Awesome?

Even if the film didn't have shocking images of a young 12-year-old-looking girl preying on unsuspecting victims -- which it totally does -- the film would still be noted for its striking, stylized depiction of a tender friendship amidst a beautiful, snow-filled setting.

Alfredson deliberately toned down the horror elements and concentrated on the friendship between its two lead characters, resulting in a story about two sweet children taking care of each other as the inevitable doom approaches closer.

Moviefone's The Best Foreign Supernatural Movies Ever



For today's class: the supernatural. Ghosts. Evil spirits. Lost souls seeking vengeance.


Every civilization -- in an attempt to explain the unexplainable -- has created superstitious tales.

This collection of movies demonstrates that no matter where you are in the world, some scares are universal, and no matter what language you speak, a strange noise coming from a dark room will always be very creepy.









5. Pulse (2001)
Country: Japan
Director: Kiyoshi Kurosawa
AKA: Kairo










What's It About?

As Kudo and her friends try to figure out why their friend Taguchi committed suicide, his spectral image begins to appear on a computer disk he was working on and he leaves messages on her phone begging for help from the afterlife.

Soon, people begin to randomly and mysteriously disappear, leaving behind only shadowy imprints. Meanwhile, Ryosuke's computer exhibits a life of its own, exposing him to images of ghosts, leading him to believe that their unrest souls are invading the earthly realm.






Why Is it Awesome?

The "J-horror" scene was swallowed up by Hollywood, who churned out tame remakes -- including a 2006 remake of Pulse -- and then burned audiences on the same repeated spooky imagery, until it all became cliché.

But where Pulse shines is in the totally creepy atmosphere created by director Kiyoshi Kurosawa. With Pulse he takes the "ghost in the machine" trope that was worn out so heavily, and pushes it to an apocalyptic conclusion.

The supernatural is represented as both the traditional "ghost," and as a lingering image of despair that invoked the atomic bomb blasts of WWII. In a world that is becoming increasingly industrialized and technologically connected, Pulse is proof that it can still be a scary, lonely place.

4. Black Sunday (1960)
Country: Italy
Director: Mario Bava
AKA: La Maschera del Demonio (The Mask of Satan)










What's It About?

The Moldavian witch Asa (Barbara Steele) is burned at the stake in the year 1630. Two centuries later, doctors inadvertently disturb her grave and resurrect the undead servant of Satan.

She begins to amass vampiric followers in an effort to capture and sacrifice the young, beautiful Katia in a bid for immortality.






Why Is it Awesome?

Black Sunday is one of cinema's greatest Gothic productions. Mario Bava's film not only examines but revels in viewers' fears of the occult and all its evil possibility.

The film shocked audiences with its levels of of violence and gore; they apparently forgot that history has always had a nasty streak when combating what they perceived to be the magic arts.

Few movies have depicted medieval torture and execution with as much lavish artistic design.




http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjOEpIDa6_s






3. The Devil's Backbone (2001)
Country: Spain
Director: Guillermo del Toro
AKA: El Espinazo del Diablo










What's It About?

In 1939, after becoming another victim of the Spanish Civil War, young Carlos is sent to an orphanage. Things seem bad at first when he is picked on by the older Jaime, but they get seriously worse when he begins to hear strange noises at night.

His investigations reveal the orphanage to be haunted by another young boy named Santi. Before he can safely get away, Carols discovers that the bullying Jaime and the adults in charge may be connected to the supernatural mystery.

And even if he can survive whatever threats are closing in on him, he still must contend with the escalating and approaching war outside.






Why Is it Awesome?

Guillermo del Toro has since broken through to Hollywood and international audiences, but Backbone represents a personal creative peak for del Toro, who fused the genuine, moody scares of a ghost story with the shocking confusion of war.

The film's young protagonists and their innocent view of the world make the film's tragic setting even more nerve-wracking.



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHm_Me0CDC0







2. Ringu (1998)
Country: Japan
Director: Hideo Nakata
AKA: Ring










What's It About?

Most people are familiar with the super-successful Hollywood remake so here's the gist of it:

The journalist Reiko investigates the death of her niece, which came about after she watched a supposedly cursed videotape that will kill anyone who views it.

As she searches for clues, she discovers the true nature of the videotape, the terrifying little girl that is broadcast every time it is watched and the cruel game of tape-passing that must be played.






Why Is it Awesome?

Ringu is Japan's highest grossing horror movie of all time. And as far as remakes go, the American version isn't bad. But before the cross-continental movie fad spawned countless imitators, there was the original Ringu.

Over a decade later it stands tall as a dark, atmospheric twist on urban legends and ghost stories; there's no better example of how freaked out you can get from simply sitting in an empty room, watching images on a TV screen.

1. Suspiria (1977)
Country: Italy
Director: Dario Argento










What's It About?

American ballerina Suzy (Jessica Harper) arrives at a prestigious dance academy in Munich just as her new classmates are terrorized by a vicious killer with superhuman abilities.

Suzy and her roommate investigate their mysterious school for answers and discover they are trapped within an evil terror, hundreds of years old.






Why Is it Awesome?

It's all in the execution(s). Trying to describe Suspiria doesn't begin to do it justice.

It sounds like a traditional fairy tale-inspired story of a young girl and an evil creature, but Dario Argento's film is a symphony of gore and beauty.


As Italy's last Technicolor film, the movie is a vibrant, choreographed display of carnage and other-worldly scares. Most movies frighten their audiences by drowning the scenes in black, but Suspiria has managed to freak people out for over 30 years using all the colors of the rainbow.

Moviefone's The Best Foreign WTF Horror Movies Ever



The final installment in our look at foreign horror: the best WTF films.


These are the films that defy easy description. They're not just the "left-overs" but are movies that take everything you expect a horror film to be, turn it on its side, and then spin wildly out of control.

Their reputations have built into urban legends -- things that most people have only heard about, and sound too outlandish to be real; but these five films are very real, and are waiting to be watched.









5. House (1977)
Country: Japan
Director: Nobuhiko Obayashi
AKA: Hausu










What's It About?

Oshare and her friends decide to spend their summer vacation at the country home of Oshare's estranged aunt.

What none of the girls realize is that Oshare's aunt is secretly an undead spirit and her house is possessed by a demon that feeds off the flesh of innocent, young girls. The girls are trapped in the aunt's haunted house and get picked off one by one.






Why Is it Awesome?

Because it is completely demented. Thoroughly, aggressively demented.

A girl-eating piano, a killer lampshade, walls the spew blood like a fire hydrant, disembodied limbs floating through some sort of undefined negative space. That's just some of the stuff you'll see.



Calling it "weird" for the sake of being weird, is an insult to level of experimental, absurd film-making at work. It's a complete dissection of cinematography, editing, special effects, character archetypes and ironic sentimentality.

It's not "scary" in the traditional sense, but it's psychedelia, it's energy, it's lucid surreality dominates every frame of film; it feels like the kind of thing you saw late at night on TV, while half-asleep, not fully able to process what you were watching, and unsure if anyone would ever believe you witnessed.




http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NN0HVJ5tkIM








4. The Human Centipede: First Sequence (2009)
Country: The Netherlands
Director: Tom Six










What's It About?

Two American girls, vacationing in Germany, are kidnapped by Dr. Heiter after their car gets a flat tire.

They are drugged and brought back to his compound, where after regaining consciousnesses, are placed into Heiter's mad medical obsession: they along with a young male Japanese tourist shall be surgically bonded together -- from mouth to anus -- to create a "human centipede" that will share one long digestive track.

The three victims must find a way to survive their new horrifying condition and crawl away to safety -- before Heiter adds more "links" to the centipede.






Why Is it Awesome?

Because it's probably the most decency-pushing horror film in modern history, if not all-time.

The film ramps up the morbid humor with its strive for medical accuracy, and the plight of its poor, poor victims does not shy away from the gross details.



Director Tom Six came up with the idea from bizarre dark jokes about criminal punishment, and the character of Dr. Heiter serves as a comment on the horrifying history of WWII and the Nazis reprehensible human experiments.

Human Centipede's greatest horror lies in the fact that someone actually thought up the idea.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NN0HVJ5tkIM







3. Three... Extremes (2004)
Country: Hong Kong / South Korea / Japan
Director: Fruit Chan, Chan-wook Park & Takashi Miike










What's It About?

An anthology film from three of Asia's biggest directors.



- "Dumplings" from Hong Kong's Fruit Chan tells the story of an aging actress who goes to a mysterious cook, who offers dumplings with the power to reverse the effects of aging.

The dumplings are successful, but the woman must decide to continue eating them after she learns of their secret ingredient.



- In "Cut" from Chan-wook Park of South Korea, a film director returns home to find his wife held captive by a spurned movie extra, who plans to chop off one of his wife's fingers every five minutes, unless he is forced to play a series of mind games.



- In "Box" from Takashi Miike of Japan, a young woman is plagued with nightmares of being buried alive by a terrifying figure, all while she searches for her long lost sister.






Why Is it Awesome?

Takashi Miike has earned a reputation as one of the world's most shocking directors, but with "Box" he displays a calm reserve meditating on quiet horror that shifts between linear and non-linear imagery.



"Cut" meanwhile is an exhausting torture scenario, not just for the explicit physical pain that is depicted, but also for the lingering mental trauma that opens a Pandora's box for the story's unfortunate victims.



But the most out-there segment in the movie is "Dumplings". Without spoiling the secret ingredient, we can say that viewers with weak stomachs and/or serious moral beliefs should avoid at all costs.

It will do nothing but get you angry, not just at the implications of the scenario, but in Fruit Chan's nauseating use of sound design that leaves little to the imagination.

2. The Wicker Man (1974)
Country: Great Britain
Director: Robin Hardy










What's It About?

Police Officer Howie investigates the disappearance of a young girl on the folksy island of Summerisle.

Howie's devout Catholicism is drawn to immediate conflict with the island community's Celtic pagan beliefs. Their practices regarding medicine, sexuality and education anger him, as his faith is tested with intense temptation.

As the people of Summerisle deny the existence of the missing girl, Howie beings to uncover a conspiracy that is possibly driven by the pagan cultish ritual of human sacrifice.






Why Is it Awesome?

It's an unnerving thriller that peels away layer and layer of madness, until there's no hope left. It's exploration of the folk practices of Ancient Britain, challenges and questions the notions of faith and the hope that someone will save you.

The pagan practices of Summerisle are depicted with lavish detail, and as the people close in more and more on the unsuspecting Howie, the terrifying notion that everyone else is the enemy moves from fevered paranoia into grim reality.



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FdV-O8o7ok






1. Audition (1999)
Country: Japan
Director: Takashi Miike
AKA: Odishon










What's It About?

A lonely widow named Aoyama wants to attempt dating again, but as a busy, middle-aged father, his romantic skills are shaky.

A film-maker friend comes up with a scheme to hold a mock audition for a fake film, and Aoyama can meet all the woman trying out and give a call to the one he likes best.

Aoyama is mesmerized by Asami, a young girl with a mysterious past. His friend urges Aoyama to pursue another woman, but Aoyama is insistent on discovering more about Asami, unprepared for what he will discover next.






Why Is it Awesome?

Because there's Audition and then there's every other horror movie. So much of the film's sad, shocking, awful power comes from not knowing what comes next, so we won't divulge too many details.

But Audition is the film that loudly proclaimed the world of horror cinema was being revolutionized throughout the world.



Defying all notions of what a horror movie had been in the past, Audition is the film that stays with its audience for years. Those who see it will struggle to watch even a moment of it ever again, but every single second of celluloid is perfectly preserved in the viewer's memory.

matt i made it up !

I know. I was playing along. Sigh.

I think from now on there should be a spoiler thread on anything so, that people know that there are spoilers. Just saying
