I scored two free tickets to an advanced screening of Adam Green’s cool looking flick “Frozen”. Problem is, it’s in Texas.
Dallas, to be exact. Thursday, February 4th at the The Grand 24 AMC Theater (7:30pm.)
If we have a listener or reader in the Dallas area who would want to free tickets courtesy of the Splattercast, shoot me an e-mail at splattercast@deadlantern.com
Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow is our Breast Cancer Awareness Show on Splattercast #153. We’ll be discussing all things boobage in the world of horror as well as giving out all sorts of information about how you can help destroy breast cancer! We’ve had a bunch of people leave voicemails (including some celebs) and send in e-mails, but if you haven’t done so yet, you still got some time!
Leave us a message at206-350-9636or shoot us ane-mail at splattercast@deadlantern.com
And don’t forget, if you make any sort of donation to a breast cancer charity, you’ll receive a free alternate, black and white, version of Outpost Doom.
If you listened to Splattercast #147, you may remember Deejay’s ludicrously awful idea for a “show us your poop” contest. You see, Deejay’s a bit of a fecophile and he invited listeners to send in pictures of their “best efforts.”
Well, we didn’t get a mass quantity of entries (thank you, by the way, for not sending in entries) but the winning entry is pretty great. Feast your eyes on Poobaby by Professor Bleak.
We got some cool t-shirts courtesy of Digital Kitchen and we want to give a couple away. Here’s how you can win one of these pimp-ass shirts…
Contest A: As we mentioned on Splattercast #130, just write to splattercast@deadlantern.com and give us your theory on why most Star Trek villains suck compared to other sci-fi properties. We’ll choose a winner on an upcoming episode of the Splattercast.
Contest B: A few of us on the forum have been stumped by a “guess the movie poster” puzzle. Visit this forum thread to check out the puzzle. The first person to post the correct answer wins a t-shirt.
Just a note: if you win a t-shirt and it arrives with cat hair on it, you can blame Steve’s cat. She climbed into the box of t-shirts and was hanging out like it was her own little fort.
I’ve been loving the hell out of Fallout 3 lately. The reaction is a bit mixed on our forum thread, but this is easily the most fully realized “real” game world I’ve ever played. It’s a blast roaming the wasteland of Washington D.C. and killing super mutants. And the characters are really good, too. For example, one of the earliest decisions you have to make is whether or not to detonate, or disarm, a nuclear bomb sitting in the middle of the town of Megaton. My first reaction was “I’m totally going to blow this place sky high”, and a mysterious dude offered to “take care of me” if I’d do it. But as I made my way around the town and interacted with the various inhabitants, I actually started to like all of them. So I disarmed the nuke and got my own house in the town with lots of perks inside. This game is just amazingly great and any horror fan would really be wise to give it a spin.
Speaking of horror, the Resident Evil 5 demo is out. I’ve downloaded it but haven’t played it yet. I’m a total RE fanboy and I’m unapologetic about it (the games, not the movies which are total shit). I even love the wonky control scheme. Initial reactions on our forum is that the demo is pretty killer. The full game doesn’t release until March but already I’m getting ancy to play. I have a tradition of playing through the RE games with a buddy of mine (Dawson from The Grand Horror ). Where art thou, Jeremy?
Oh, and the Elm Street cast went for like 2 hours last night. I’ve got quite a bit post-production work to do (including a new review by Mitts777) and since I’ve got class all day I won’t be able to get to it until tonight. Because of that, what you won’t hear until later is that next week is the Splattercasts’ Fan Appreciation Episode. We did this once on episode 61 and it is about time we did another one. I’ve got stacks and stacks of dvd’s sitting on my shelf that I’m going to give away. Wanna win one? All you need to do is e-mail us at Splattercast@deadlantern.com with a comment about anything. It can be about the Elm Street franchise. It can tell us why we suck. It can be a message explaining the intricacies of worm hole theory. Whatever you want; we’ll be reading everything we get on the show and you are guaranteed to get something in return. Consider it a late Christmas present from your friends at Deadlantern.com
Oh, and if you are really adventurous and want to leave a voicemail message 206-426-5306 you’ll have the chance to win a shiny, region-free dvd of Jaume Balaguero and Paco Plaza’s Splatcademy Award nominated [●REC]. Again, the voicemail can be about anything, although I will tell you that the funnier the message, the better chance you have to win this swell DVD.
T.J. of Avanttrash.com is our resident hipster music guy so he might know more about this then I do. Our friends over at Cult Epics have sent a limited edition copy (only 2500 copies) of the 2-Disc Life After Death DVD (scroll down the link to see the full specs) and rather than open it up I thought I’d give it away in a contest. Personally, I don’t know a thing about Gitane Demone, but she’s apparently a musician who used to be in some rock band called Christian Death and according to the DVD is “Madonna’s naughtier underground cousin”.
Sound interesting? Well, if you stopped looking at Diora Baird long enough to read this post and you want a free copy of this DVD which also includes a 12 page booklet that will probably answer all of your Demone questions, this is what you need to do…
Visit the Cult Epics website, browse around the different titles (horror, art house, erotica), and e-mail me at splattercast@deadlantern.com with the film you think looks most interesting. I’ll go through all the submissions and select one person who I think picked the raddest sounding flick. Feel free to send along some comments as to why you think I should pick your movie.
That’s it! Just visit their site, take a look around, and then e-mail me a movie you think is interesting. You may get one of only 2500 Gitane Demone “Life After Death” DVD sets. Get to it!
“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!
