Open Letter to the Aliens Who Kidnapped John Carpenter and Replaced Him With a Pod Person

John Carpenter on the set of The Thing

Bring him back. Please? I just got done watching The Thing for the umpteenth time and I would really like the good Carpenter that we all know and love back. I'm sure we can convince the real Carpenter not to press charges or anything. And none of the rest of us will press charges for stuff like Ghosts of Mars. Honest. Total amnesty. Just bring him back.

Signed,

P.S. Image of Carpenter from the set of The Thing taken from the incredibly impressive site for all things Thing--Outpost 31.

Ray Harryhausen-Palooza!
Posted on 10.31.06 by Widge @ 1:50 am

Awesome round-up of creatures created by the godfather of stop motion animation, Ray Harryhausen. There's just something to be said for stuff that's totally in-camera. Shame we won't get that anymore.

Prince of Darkness: In Search of Saint Goddard's

The real Saint Goddard's from Prince of Darkness

Update: The Horror Channel links in the post don't work anymore and the articles don't appear to be extant on their website. This is a damn shame because they were great articles. So I've replaced them with their corresponding links on the Web Archive. The pictures no longer work but you at least get the benefit of the words. Just FYI.

So here I am watching Prince of Darkness, the eighth stop of my whirlwind horror revue for the weekend, and I thought: wouldn't it be cool to go and visit Saint Goddard's, the church that had a vial of Satan in the basement? Cosette found that our friends at the Horror Channel were already way ahead of me.

In this article, they talk about every single place shown in the film--including Goddard's. It's now an arts center that looks pretty much the same. Check out the pic snippet there with the banners up and try to imagine the big ass hooded figure walking out from beneath them. Wicked.

There's other films they've given this extensive treatment for. Check out the full list here.

Danny Elfman and Tim Burton's Nightmare: Everybody Scream!
Posted on 10.26.06 by Widge @ 12:19 pm

What a brilliant mashup--to make a movie that's perfect for both Halloween and Christmas. Here's the opening number, "This is Halloween," because you can never have too much Elfman this time of year.

Buy the new special edition soundtrack from Amazon here. The DVD's apparently out of print. Suck factor is high.

Rejoice! Here it is!

Bollywood Thriller: Bringing in the Noise and Funk of Forty Thousand Years
Posted on 10.19.06 by Widge @ 8:52 am

Nothing...and I mean nothing...that I watch over Halloween weekend will be able to compare to the sheer terror that was waiting for me in this Bollywood video.

That being said, I'd like somebody to do use this as the basis for an exercise video mashup. Ready, go.
