“Teh Sex” (otherwise known as T.J. of Splattercast fame) and “Care Bear Ghost” (a.k.a Ali from The Grand Horror) have a swell site called avanttrash.com

Did you know they are running a Halloween contest for a swank horror goodie bag, probably stolen by T.J. when he passed some z-grade actor from “Salute Your Shorts” while cruising the streets of Hollywood?

Go visit and see if you can name some of our favorite quotes from various horror movies. And no googling!

I arrived to my Geography class last night and sitting next to me was a girl reading Are Roman Catholics Christians? by the douchebags at Chick Publications. I absolutey love reading these because they are so damn hilarious. My absolute favorite is Happy Halloween, in which little Timmy is run over by a car and sent to hell because he likes the greatest holiday ever. The scary thing was this girl in class was totally into it and believed what these morons are saying. Actually, strike that. She’s right. I can’t believe the fine folks at Chick have discovered the conspiracy! Osiris has worked so hard to keep this charade going for thousands of years!

Joe Biden eats Osiris!

Sigh…Tell you what, Christians. When you stop your “War on Halloween”, we secular motherf*ckers will give up our “War on Christmas”, deal?

The only holiday worth a damn. No doubt there will be lots of drunkards running around since Halloween is on a friday this year. Be mindful of the kids who are out there trick or treating.

So, what are you doing/watching tonight?

you know, I can understand that somebody in the Obama campaign thought it would be clever to use robots in a campaign ad with Halloween coming up, but Gort?

There is a twisted irony in the Obama campaign using the image of one of the most beloved science fiction robots ever (probably #2 right after Robby) as the vehicle for anti-Obama robocalls. The Day the Earth Stood Still is considered by many to be the liberal science fiction masterpiece in film and some yahoo in Chicago is using it in a stupid context. Stop tainting Gort! I forgive them because they probably had no idea, but sheesh, use the Terminator or something. Or better yet, how ’bout those robot spiders Gene Simmons created to kill Tom Selleck in Runaway.

This has been a public service announcement brought to you by A Work in Podcast, the best science-fiction cast on the net (when we talk about sci-fi, that is)

p.s. How retarded is it to replay the freaking robocall you’re trying to stop as the only audio in the clip you’re trying to use to get the word out? oy….

I shudder to think of the mountains upon mountains of pussy that our friends Frank & Ronin from The Sleepycast are going to be getting now that they’ve hit YouTube. Cheers, fellas!

Will someone just destroy that fucking box already? Can’t we get one of those Rubik’s cube dudes to figure this crap out?

It’s been 13 years since I’ve seen any of these films but I remember them sucking. Splattercast 75 seems to remember some of them a bit more fondly. Apparently Hollywood has summoned another Hellraiser film from the depths of the underworld:

French horror director Pascal Laugier is in final negotiations to direct a “re-imagining of Hellraiser” for Dimension. Laugier reassured Cliver Barker fans that he “would never betray what [Barker] has done,” and to look forward to a mostly faithful adaptation…

I admit it. I need to rewatch the first couple.

The Black Blood screening was a success! We had about 50 people show up and had discussion go all the way to 7:30.

Thank you to everybody who came out and gave us such positive feedback for our film. I’m glad it went over so well

Also, a new A Work in Podcast is up. Somehow, Deejay starts a conversation on the merits of Affirmitive Action. You’ve been warned…

Noteworthy because Dead Lantern Films heartthrob Jeremy C. spends lots of time in Azeroth. I think he plays a gnome; I’m not sure.

Hat-tip to Explodey Jo for the photo. Here in the U.S. we might think Bristol is just a pregnant teen but it’s actually a whole city over yonder in England. Check out this forum thread for more pics of their recent zombie walk.

You guys all pumped up for the big Obama infomercial tonight?

Me neither.

I do suppose it’s significant when a campaign has so much extra cash that they can blow millions on a single one-time advertisement. I think Ross Perot did something similar, but I wasn’t really paying attention back then.

Anyway, I’m skipping this one. I’ll pick up the highlights from the news sites later tonight and, of course, I’m eager to hear how many boxes of tissue Mat goes through as he watches it - if he makes it back from the Black Blood screening in time, that is! (genuine best wishes on the screening, by the way)

Tonight’s the big night. Candyman looks pretty excited.  A short documentary I directed is being screened in a campus auditorium. The place seats 500. I expect there will be, maybe, 10 people who show up. Apparently there was zero promotion done for this which is why I’ve been posting stuff on various message boards and sending out e-mails. I’m supposed to be there for an hour and a half for a Q&A session, but hopefully nobody shows up so I can get the hell out of there and watch the Obama infomercial. Now you rich people, too, can own Barack Obama for two small payments of $49.95!

Our wordpress navigation system shows us all the incoming links that various sites around the web are using from us. Apparently, we’ve been spreading the Dexter image wealth around If you google “Dexter” and look at the images, we’re number 4. All sorts of sites lately have been stealing our bandwidth, I guess, by linking to the image. I’m not sure how Jeff sleeps at night knowing that this redistribution of Dexter images is occurring on his watch. Our latest link is by a blog called Sweet Sensation. Dexter is a kick ass show, so if fans are finding us because of the picture then that kicks ass too.

I’m not going to brag about the Seminoles beating the Hokies last weekend even though my Cornhusker friends lost to them. That would just be mean. However I am excited that the ‘Noles are tied for first place in their division and ranked 16th in the polls. For a team that is composed almost entirely of True Freshman and sophmores, that’s pretty good. However, I don’t think they’ll beat Georgia Tech this weekend and I predict a couple more losses after that. I think they’ll ultimately go 9-4, counting a bowl game win. Watch out next year, though. FSU is going to kick some ass.

Less than a week to go before the big election. I’ll write up my final preditions this weekend.

Kind of an interesting piece, some scientists have experimented with the presence of electromagnetic fields in conjunction with reported supernatural phenomena.

EMFs emitted by power lines and towers, clock radios and other electrical sources may help debunk myths that people or things are haunted, says Michael Persinger, a neuroscientist at Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, who has conducted research on the topic. One such study, published in 2001 in Perceptual And Motor Skills chronicles the experiences of a teenager who in 1996 claimed to be receiving nocturnal visits—one sexual—from the Holy Spirit. The 17-year-old girl, who had sustained mild brain damage at birth, said she also felt the presence of an invisible baby perched on her left shoulder.

When Persinger and his colleagues investigated (at the behest of the girl’s mother), they found an electric clock next to the bed that was about 10 inches (25.4 centimeters) from where she placed her head when she slept. Tests showed that the clock generated electromagnetic pulses with waveforms similar to those found to trigger epileptic seizures in rats and humans. When the clock was removed, the visions stopped. Persinger determined that the clock, in combination with the girl’s brain injury, were highly likely to have been contributing factors to the perceived nocturnal visits.

Via Gearfuse, Indian artist Subodh Gupta crafted this awesome skull out of assorted kitchen junk. It’s totally going to eat that kid.

New Scientist Space has posted a small gallery of some spooky space pictures. They’re promising some more later this week. I don’t know about you, but space creeps me the f*ck out, man.
