http://www.deadlantern.com Site redesign in progress, please pardon our mess! Fri, 04 Jul 2008 07:02:48 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en By far the best news I've heard all year. Link. http://www.deadlantern.com/2008/07/04/994/ The Dead Lantern Fantasy Football League, 2008 edition, is back. Last year, we had six teams vying for the trophy. I don't mean to brag or anything, but I kicked everyone's ass :) I'm currently activating our league and a thought occured to me: Wouldn't it be cool if we opened ... http://www.deadlantern.com/2008/07/03/the-dlfl-is-backwanna-join-in-on-the-trash-talk/ The Sci-Fi channel's yearly Twilight Zone 4th of July Marathon is underway. It started early this morning and will go all the way through the 4th of July. 50 hours of non-stop Rod Serling goodness. Do yourself a favor and find some time to watch a few episodes if you ... http://www.deadlantern.com/2008/07/03/twilight-zone-marathon-on-sci-fi/ Splattercast #85 has been uploaded, get it here. I haven't listened to it myself yet; I just tacked on some music and uploaded the file. I take no responsibility for what went on in this episode. http://www.deadlantern.com/2008/07/02/splattercast-85/ Wow, these horror-oriented photos by Joshua Hoffine are stunning. He sets up the scenes almost like a movie, with "actors" getting into monster makeup and minimal Photoshopping after the fact. I would caution you against looking at these right before bedtime because they may just give you a nightmare! Cheers, Josh, ... http://www.deadlantern.com/2008/06/30/joshua-hoffine-photography/ Episode 85 of the Splattercast is terrible. No prep, no talk of horror. Just random nonsense. My apologies to anybody that Deejay offends in this episode (and there will be many). We're not shooting Outpost Doom next weekend so we'll be back with a full show of prep spotlighting the Species flicks. http://www.deadlantern.com/2008/06/29/a-warning-in-advance/ I went to Wanted tonight with my brother. The theater was pretty full for the 6:45pm showing. The movie's been getting pretty good reviews. If I had never heard of the comic book by Mark Millar & JG Jones, then I would probably have liked this movie a lot more. ... http://www.deadlantern.com/2008/06/28/what-i-wanted-was-a-faithful-adaptation/ Many horror fans have probably heard of the gruesome on-set decapitation deaths of Vic Morrow and two child actors while filming Twilight Zone: The Movie. What you might not know is that John Landis went on trial...and should have been convicted of manslaughter. It's a fascinating story and if you ... http://www.deadlantern.com/2008/06/27/horror-history-1/ Here's an interesting short manga you can read online: The Enigma of Amigara Fault. Remember that manga is read from right-to-left. http://www.deadlantern.com/2008/06/26/the-enigma-of-amigara-fault/ http://www.deadlantern.com/2008/06/26/the-cat-with-hands/ Splattercast #84 has been uploaded. Our apologies to Greta Van Susteren. http://www.deadlantern.com/2008/06/24/splattercast-84/ Here's a site that's pretty cool to read through, although I'm getting to it a few years late: The Dionaea House. http://www.deadlantern.com/2008/06/24/the-dionaea-house/ One of the coolest horror themed shows on television in recent years was Scare Tactics. The premise was great: a friend sets up another friend to be scared shitless by a professional tv crew who re-created monster/horror set pieces. It went off the air for a couple years, but now ... http://www.deadlantern.com/2008/06/23/scare-tactics-returning-to-sci-fi/ Yes. I'm about to watch a film called Tiki.  Full Moon used to have a monopoly on puppet sized terrors but their recent output has been pretty abysmal. This flick is put out by Image Entertainment and already, there seems to be some false advertising. The Netflix and Imdb ... http://www.deadlantern.com/2008/06/23/running-commentary-review-3-tiki/ Opened my inbox to find an e-mail about a new horror flick called Frat House Massacre. Check out the trailer right here and find out more about the film at the ScreamKings website. http://www.deadlantern.com/2008/06/23/frat-house-massacre/
