I Love Splatter!

Cabin in the Woods !!! !! !!! ! ! Go see it. Now. 

THAT IS ALL.  

This is a completely shameless attempt at self-promotion, but if any of you feel like this Casey costume from Scream is awesome enough to vote for, could you please go to Crypticon’s Facebook Page and “like” it? I would be one thrilled little horror movie-lover if I won tickets! 

And, if you live in Seattle, y’all should enter your photos too. I am loving that Hellboy costume also, and have no doubt that guy will win. 

I only wish I knew where the other photo of me in this costume was (where I am screaming into the phone).

#4: Most Ridiculous Horror Movie Deaths, EVER:
The Gymnast in Final Destination 5

I know it could be argued that every death in every Final Destination movie is ridiculous, but usually I at least have a laughing fit about how stupid it is (re: dude getting squished by a glass window pane in part 3). 

This one, though, was particularly dissapointing, because after lots of teasing involving a screw on the balance beam and a loose air conditioning fan, they chose to have this chick get catapulted off some bars and land badly, apparently breaking every bone in her body and instantly killing her.

While the splatter was pretty awesome, I think I would have preferred the fan falling on her, or getting strangled by the bars, or SOMETHING. Anything. Everything. Else. Why? Because it just looks stupid. Look at the photo. It’s stupid, you guys. Come on.  

Behind the scenes of The Shining!

Nice. (via The Chive) 

I was skeptical about this whole “fae” thing, but as it turns out, SyFy’s Lost Girl is filling the void that Buffy left in my fantasy-loving heart. 

Main character Bo is a sexy succubus with the power to drain the life out of men or women, or you know - touch them and make them do her bidding. Rough gig, huh? Anyway, she avoids joining up with either the dark or light fae gangs, which makes her extra-desirable, kinda like the sexy wolfman/cop Dyson (who can help heal her by gettin’ busy RAWR). 

It’s glossy and super-sexed up, but I am growing to LOVE IT - even if at least one of the episode’s plots was so Buffy it hurt (hello! Sorority house sacrifices to a creepy swamp-dweller is a little too familiar, writers).

Bonus: Goth-girl Kenzi makes an excellent sidekick. “Holy shitballs” exclamations, crazy antics, and a clever kick of Whedon-like humor make her super endearing. 

I recommend you check it out, as it’s replaced Grimm as my supernatural go-to lately, along with The Fades (post forthcoming) and Being Human. Also, last episode’s head-chopping off incident proved they don’t shy away from good splatter. 

Uh, wow. The Walking Dead Left Behind promo thinger on Facebook is pretty damn awesome. It’s the best way I’ve ever seen a company use FB integration, for sure.
