The Mothman Prophecies (2002)

This is one of my favorite horror movies.. and one hell of a tale..

I remember reading John Keel's book of the same name that was based on the events, in a couple of hours one evening a couple of years back. For thirteen months Point Pleasant was plagued by a dark terror that culminated in a major disaster. Unearthly noises and ghostly lights in the sky gave way to mutilated animals, winged monsters, strange people, weird flying machines and of course, the Mothman. It was a real page turner.

Any other people heard about the story that inspired the film, or lives close to that area?

Anyone have some good suggestions?

T Shirts with wearable moving Gifs and graphics

I wonder how close we are to seeing this become available? That will be pretty cool. I know there are flexible TV screens, but I don't know if they are THAT flexible, or if they could survive a washing machine. My guess would be NO, to both of those concerns. But, nothing surprises me anymore. Maybe they are available in Singapore, or Japan, or Germany, and we just haven't been exposed to them yet.

If you google shirts with wearable moving graphics or gifs, things start coming up. There's a company called Drawsta that does something similar, although it looks like you just stick a smart phone in a pocket with a hole in it, so it looks like whatever is on the screen is printed n your shirt... so, it would be a similar effect, but not really what I'm thinking of.

I started thinking of this because it occurred to me that a T shirt showing a moving gif of John Turturro in The Big Lebowski cleaning his bowling ball in that hilarious way he cleaned it, with "What would Jesus do?" in print right above it, would probably offend some people so much that you would risk getting the living shit beaten out of you every time you wore the shirt. But, isn't that what life is all about? I mean, come on.

The Ninth Configuration (1980)



Only a handful of films really and truly haunt me for a number of days afterwards. The Ninth Configuration is one such film that really effected me, I can't explain it fully, it is one thought-provoking film, that is for sure, but yet funny in places with endlessly quotable dialogue. The first half of the film has more of a comedic tone. The "Orbit after orbit" scene is one of another of my favourite scenes ever, the monologue is so poignant. In the second half, the film becomes darker and philosophical. It is one film that has stayed with me.

So what you want to know?

Not really my intention to re-join but Box enabled my account again and is wanting some explanation from me. Since my account was disabled I could not explain anything. I did get a message yesterday where Vincent tried to lure Troma back in so therefore I checked the shoutbox. Between that and now I actually rarely checked. If the mods can check the activity of my ip they will know that's true.


I will answer your questions as long as you don't start throwing insults. I won't answer any questions about Onyx or Tromafreak. Any insinuations that they would have been manipulating me I won't answer as they are not true.

The Ultimate Horror Movie Guide by James Marriott & Kim Newman



I bought The Ultimate Horror Movie Guide by James Marriott & Kim Newman a couple of weeks back.

It is the most informative book out there on the horror genre. It has all the most influential to the most obscure movies. It is basically one big encyclopedia - decade by decade critical analysis to all of the sub-genres out there. A well written, thoughtful and highly entertaining read, that really pushes this into the "must have" category for all horror fans.

Us '19 vs Twin Peaks

Back when Jordan Peele tried to awe us with his new doppleganger flick, in the back of my mind, I kept thinking about how Twin Peaks had already covered a lot of the same ground. This was way back in the damn early 90s, too. Not only regarding the dopplegangers, but also that whole alternate dimension of sorts that they come from. But wait, there's more! SPOILERS AHEAD.


So if you've seen "US", you know there was a twist ending. Not a very unexpected twist, but it was an okay switcheroo they pulled on us on how the dopple escaped, trapped the original one, and started a family of her own. Of course, this was also something that TP did.

So in rewatching TP season 3, Audrey Horne's plot started to confuse to hell out of me again. Eventually, it all came back to me, especially regarding her demon seed Richard Horne, who turns out to be the son of dopple Cooper.

Did Jordan Peele watch Twin Peaks? Was his idea of originality simply changing the ethnicity of the characters?

Despite being an oscar winner for it, Jordan Peele isn't very original, is he? His first "original screenplay" winner is a copy of Stepford Wives and The Skeleton Key, his next big deal has strong parallels to a tv show from the fucking 90s, and his latest effort is the 3rd remake of the Twilight Zone, and not even the first time it was hosted by a black guy.

Again, I think JP is alright, but it's funny how he thinks he's breaking new ground.

Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark

I finally got the chance to watch this movie Saturday evening after work. I was thrilled to watch it! It brought back my childhood of when I would read it with friends and get spooked out by the stories! Even now I still own all of the books!

Anyways, I was super excited to see this book come to life! Unfortunately it was just plain meh. It started off really slow, and me personally I don't like slow movies. I was already bored within the first 30 mins, but it was a free movie so why not just go ahead and finish it? I wasn't aware that this movie was set back some years. I must've not really paid attention to that in the trailer, but that wasn't a huge deal to me. I wanted there to be more stories involved! I straight up just wanted MORE!

I was also disappointed that it was rated PG-13. I wish it would've been rated R for the people who grew up reading this book could see a little more horror in it.

It was an okay movie, definitely not one of my favorites.

Jump Scares

What is your opinion on them?

The topic of jump scares is always intriguing. Some think they are hacky and some think they are entertaining. I feel like its kind of a staple of modern horror films, and at a point they almost stop being scary and start becoming predictable. With that being said, I really enjoy a lot of movies that are heavily reliant on jump scares, but the more I watch these new horror movies, the more it seems forced. Its almost as if they have some sort of jump scare quota that they have to meet. Do you guys think these jump scares add anything to movies, aside from being really loud, abrupt noises with the intent on...well...making people jump?
