30 DAYS OF NIGHT: RED SNOW

Those not familiar with the 30 Days Of Night comics would be doing themselves a favor by becoming acquainted with the title.

The series began as a mini written by Steve Niles and illustrated by Ben Templesmith in which Vampires feast on human blood in the arctic where the sun sets for 30 days at a time. Since its initial release there have been various off shoots...some good, and some not. Theres even a movie in the works to be released later this year.

Red Snow will be the first 30 Night story to be both written and penned by the almighty Templesmith, and that fact alone has me pretty damn excited. For a brief interview with Templesmith and some of his amazing interior art on Red Snow you can give a click HERE.

My Name Is Bruce.

My Name Is Bruce is the tale of a small town set upon by demons after a group of teen-agers unwittingly unleash an ancient curse. Campbell, playing himself, is kidnapped off the set of a B horror movie and, despite his protestations that he's just an actor, is forced to play the role of his heroic movie character in order to save the town. Mark Verheiden (The Mask, TimeCop) is writing the screenplay. Production is scheduled for early 2006 in southern Oregon."

Hail to the king, baby! I freaking love Bruce Campbell!

Evil Dead Musical.

I originally talked about it here. Anyways here's a little clip close to the beginning of the play with Ash winning over his girl.

Freaking funny, yo! I wish it was playing here. :(

El Laberinto Del Fauno

Or, Pan's Labyrinth. A film that I have mentioned a few times here, here and here.

A DVD screener leaked onto the usual pirate sites - and being the weak willed man that I am...I took full advantage, and hot damn am I ever glad that I did!!

*stands and applauds Guillermo del Toro*

Bravo!

Easily Guillermo's best film to date, and dare I say the pinnacle of his career!

The story was beautifully tragic, a wondrous fairy tale that frightens as well as inspires. Slow at times, but Guillermo peppered the entire story with these intense scenes of amazing fantastical elements that makes the whole thing worth watching. Especially (without giving away any serious spoilers) the feast scene.

This is what movies are about - this is what cinema can accomplish - this is exactly the film I had been hoping for ever since I heard of it way back when.

Cant wait to see it on the big screen.

Random...

Its getting cold. Like almost shiver cold. Bye, bye summer. Its not that I hate you, its just that your to damn bright and stifling.
I brought my plants in from the balcony for the season today, so now I gotta find something to put them on so Oy doesn't eat em. Speaking of Oy, the little bugger bit my lip the other day. I didn't bite back...but very seriously considered that as a possibility.

Its fun when your not supposed to know stuff...but you do...and nobody knows you do. Its like a dangerous, drunken, lustful power that you want to drink deeply of even though you know the road could lead to destruction. Or...its not? either way, people are funny.

I'm overwhelmed with the amount of game information flooding the streets right now. What with all the late summer/fall game shows (E3, Pax, TGS, X06) and Christmas coming I guess it reasons to make sense. I guess its just even more exciting as there are three new next gen consoles to play said games on so that doubles the fun factor. Still...not even pixies bearing platters of magic mushrooms whilst flitting about my head has excited me as much as what is coming in the next few months for gamer folk.

I'm in the middle of a shwack of double shifts right now and its killing me. In fact I don't have a single day off until next Friday. Granted there are a few days between now and then that I do only have to work one job for the day - and that in itself is almost like a day off right? Right? Speaking of work - I won the title of best 2nd cook out of all our restaurants in our city. A whole whopping 3 of em. Yes...2nd cook. Not 1st. I wasn't even nominated to win for 1st cook lol. Still, I got a $100 gift certificate for Best Buy outta the deal so that's kinda cool.

My new Bong works freaking amazingly! prolly to good even...but who am I to complain. Every hour or so I find myself needing to 'test' it to make sure that its still functioning as it should. :P

The book I'm reading, The Crooked Letter by Sean Williams, is incredibly awesome and perfect and wonderful and brilliant and astounding all rolled into one. I picked it up on a whim more or less. I saw the cover art and was impressed, read a few reviews and was even more impressed and then found myself one day months later spotting it in a bookstore and picking it up before buying any of the stuff that I had intended on getting. Very glad I did. Its horrific, its full of deities and demons (or what we would call demons at the least) and things that lurk in the night. You get to tour through the darkest levels of hell and the wastelands of what was once our earth. I'm not even halfway through it yet and already I fear I am reading to fast. I want this one to last. Luckily the second book (I believe) is due out on our shores very soon.

And that's that. Currently I am 36% complete on my 42 episode download of Flame Of Recca. Its been going for a day and a half now. I figure by the time I wake up Saturday it should be finished and I can start watching! Been meaning to give this one a look see forever it seems, and finally now it'll be one more I can cross off my list. :)

And that's it.

I have to go now and 'test' my bong agin! Cant be to sure if its still working properly...

The whole demon thing is pretty overdone.

The ground was frozen and hard, its icy chill seeped into my back and my legs as I lay there paralyzed. It wasn't the cold that rendered me motionless, but terror. A terror so strong that even breathing became something that seemed almost impossible to accomplish. Fear engulfed me, it became all that I was aware of...all that I knew.

True evil was grasping for my soul. Not the kind of evil that we see every day - Murder, theft, mental/physical abuse, or any number of wrongs done from one person to another; but true evil. Evil that one doesn't even know exists until they are face to face with it; when it’s too late to do anything but lay there immobile, gripped in your terror...

Evil in flesh...demon spawns that prey upon anything and anyone - Hunters of the dark that feast upon all that is weaker then they.

Mundane I know...but it was my dream and I didn't seem to have any control over it. Still I half to admit the whole demon thing is pretty overdone.

I had been running and running forever it seemed. I know there were people with me, but their faces were fuzzy...all skin and flesh blurred and distorted. One by one they fell away, whether it was from the fear that was licking at my own heels...or the demons themselves that hunted us I cannot be certain. All I know is suddenly...I was a lone.

Exhausted, I stumbled my way across a great field, my breath came ragged, the heat from my wheezing froze upon the air before me, wispy tendrils of mist that quickly evaporated into nothing. My feet felt sluggish, they couldn't keep up with the panicked racing of my mind. I had to move, I dare not look back, and I mustn't fall.

Fall I eventually did. I can’t be sure of what happened, at one point I was staggering my way through the dark and the next thing I knew I could feel shards of ice pushing against my cheek as I lay there motionless...heart racing, fear pumping through my veins.

Somehow through the static in my head I managed to roll over onto my back. I could see the outline of the scrub from a nearby bush, the stark branches sang out to me offering up the false hope of protection. Scrambling for all I was worth my fingers tore at the frozen earth, inch by inch I dragged myself beneath the bare skeletal branches of the undergrowth and shut my eyes tight...hoping that somehow in the darkness I could lose whatever it was that followed behind me.

There are no words that can properly convey what happened next. These were after all the images of a dream sleep that are often convoluted and muddled even for the one experiencing them. Suffice to say that as I had anticipated the glimmer of hope and protection that I had longed for under that stunted shrub was an empty promise as barren as the field I had just been stumbling across.

The demon had no face. It was a physical apparition I was sure...but at the same time there was no substance to who it was. I needed not to see it to know it was there, but still I was terrified of its physical bearing that beat down upon me. Slowly - but yet so fast that not a blink of my eye had passed, it was upon me.

There was no pain. I felt nothing but hysteria, but that in itself was worse then anything I could ever imagine. Suddenly I was looking down upon myself, frost was creeping its way across my face, my features forever frozen - locked in their last moments of despair. And then the sound came.

A deep resonating bass filled my ears, the image of my body lying upon the frozen earth disappeared and I was absorbed into blackness. All around me was the sound of evil. Trying to cover my ears to block out the crushing weight of what I was hearing was futile...I had no body to do so with. I became one with the bass line, my life bleeding out of me to the ongoing assault that devastated everything that I was.

And then I woke up.

Two minutes before my alarm was supposed to go off. And I swear to the gods...that for the next hour or so (or at least for as long as it took me to walk to work) all I could hear or think about was that terrifying sound. A bass line so deep that it felt like it would scramble your brains.

And that was how my morning started.

Pan's Labyrinth.

New Pan's Labyrinth one sheet was released...

Evil Dead The Musical

With book and lyrics by George Reinblatt and music by Frank Cipolla, Christopher Bond, Melissa Morris and Reinblatt, the show turns Sam Raimi’s first two DEAD films into a musical comedy, with songs like “Cabin in the Woods,” “All the Men in My Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demons” and “Do the Necronomicon,” along with live blood FX (portions of the seating are designated as a “Splatter Zone”).

Official site HERE.

Pan's Labyrinth

There's a new trailer for Guillermo del Toro's new film, Pan's Labyrinth circulating the Internet. It's all in Spanish with no subtitles, and the resolution is pretty crappy as it looks like its someones cam in the theater. Still...this film has me soooo excited!! You can check the new trailer HERE - and it definitely IS worth checking out!

Cant wait!

Night Of The Living Dead...3D!

LINK.

There's a trailer and a website already, now we just need the film to stop being delayed and to actually be released. I'm never a big fan of re-makes...but when it comes to Zombies I will usually take anything I can get (only to be disappointed after all is said and done). Anyways, looks like this 3D gore fest is gonna be pushed back until the fall now...and even then there is no guarantee that it will be playing in any theaters near me as its a limited release.

Still...click the link and enjoy a Zombie trailer. =0)

Pans Labyrinth

 
Here's a look see at the Spanish poster of Guillermo del Toro's latest film, Pans Labyrinth. Gotta admit, I'm pretty stoked for this one!!
