I’m a fairly old school dude. Unlike
people who shall remain nameless (ahem, Jimmy O'shea Chase), I at
least try to give these millennial trends a chance before summing ‘em
up as suck. Still, my track record with new shit isn’t very good.
This spans from movies to music … by God a lot of this newish music
just fuckin’ blows. With that in mind, I was very apprehensive about
giving Fear Town USA the old gander. I skipped over it several times
because it just sounded like one of those Kings of Horror flicks,
which are flat out terrible more often than not. And when I learned
it was a horror-comedy, I was even more iffy, because comedy is
highly subjective. But OHH boy was I trippin’ because as the kids
say, this movie is the tits!
Fear Town USA takes on the dubious
challenge of trying to wrap a multitude of core plots into one story.
We’ve got the four virgin nerds on a mission to finally score some
sex, in addition...
As Halloween approaches, the
butterflies start to flutter, the anxiety creeps in, and the stress
level soars through the roof. Nothing signifies just how close we are
to release (giggity) like the great cover reveal. Well, I guess it’s
technically the game menu screen. Any way, this design is based on
the very same cover for the original story I created nearly six years ago to the day. I wasn’t sure about how much I wanted to retain, but
I ended up keeping everything intact, for the most part. Name and
all.
The design itself is mostly a minor
cosmetic update. Brighter reds in the blood, more realistic knife,
etc. The little details. Don’t tell my wife that though. She put a
lot of work into this.While there’s still a couple days to go
for the visual novel, the ebook version of The Rave: Lucky Number 13
is available on Amazon. I published it under my Blake Jeckel alter
ego, mainly, because I didn’t have a lot of faith in. I honestly
think this...
Can’t even write this post with the
same kinda zest I normally would considering all the technical
difficulties that went into it. UGH. But I won’t let no virtual voodoo
get me down, so here’s the lowly anticipated follow up to the
faptastic indie video game we highlighted yesterday, Don’t Get Caught 2 … the review!
...
In our first two days of horror, we
took an extended look at how and why us crazy humans use horror
movies to scare ourselves. These days, my idea of self-induced terror
involves strapping on the headphones … cause it’s much more
frightening with headphones … cuing up the videos, and, well … you know There’s actually a little video game about it. And little ole me
decided to ramble up a review on it.

We came slashing through with the Four
Horsemen of Death. We’ve dedicated sizable slivers to the maniacal
Firefly Family, Charles Lee Ray and Hoghead 😱. But there are other,
lesser known horror movie characters who are just as evil and delightfully wicked as their
iconic counterparts. In this long ass 26-minute video, I introduce
five horror movie legends who deserve a blood-soaked pedestal of
their own. Good luck!!!

As we’ve learned from clowns, slashers,
and vampires (oh my!), horror movies come in a wide variety of
sub-genres. One of my favorite subs, at least to watch, is
exploitation … but of the pervy persuasion. Sexploitation flicks, at
their raunchiest, blur the lines of R-rated and softcore porn. And while
not all sexploitation movies fall in the horror category, the best
usually do. This is where you’ll find classic films like the totally
bonkers Cannibal Holocaust, which crosses quite a few sub-genres
under the horror umbrella. Where lesser known directors like Joe
D'Amato are viewed as legends and celebrated for their artistic
vision.
Although they’ll always be in style to
some degree, I think the sexploitation sub had it’s most prolific run
back in the 70’s, which just seemed like an interesting and fun time to be alive. Some of the most entertaining horror flicks I’ve
recently watched come from this era, including the insanely awesome
Evil Come, Evil Go. As I mentioned in my video review (which is fuckin’
terrible), this movie gets...
Sweetest Day of Death
The roots of Sweetest Day can be traced
back to the early 1900’s in a burgeoning town situated along the
US-Canadian border. According to legend, a man by the name of Sava Ho
was head over heels for a young woman many locals hailed as one of
the most beautiful in town. Sava, a captain in the Coast Guard at the
time, had no trouble attracting the woman’s attention. Capturing
her undivided affection, however, was another story.
Some might say he was the poster boy
for chivalry. And when it came to courting his beloved, Sava
spared no expense. Top of the line home furnishings. Fully stocked
pantry. The fanciest sweaters and corduroy pants for all six of her
children. Try as he may, it just wasn’t enough. There were always
rumors. Whispering throughout the neighborhood about the pampered damsel who was both unsatisfied
and unfaithful to the man who held her down for so long.
Until one day, a fed up Sava groveled
to his lady, “What’s it gonna take, huh? What...
Wrestling. It’s a little corny and a
whole lot cheesy. But that’s okay because it’s infested with amazing
characters. I’m talking Nature Boys. Hulkamaniacs. Stingers … DEAD men! On this
day of horror, we pay homage to the five creepiest, scariest
wrestling characters of all the times. Evil laughing like a
mufucka!!!

About half way through seems like just
the right time for a cheap plug. It’s the reason we’re here. The
Rave! I wrote this little horror story about six years ago. My very
first one, too. I was so unsure about it that I had to attach a pen
name to it … cause it sucked! However, the story itself, the
concept, the premise, is something I think has potential, so I
decided to re-animate it in the form of a visual novel. Picture it: a drug-fueled
underground party in the abandoned abomination that once housed
Detroit’s Packard Plant … with a cannibalistic madman lurking in the
background. I just couldn’t let it die! I talked about visual novels in videos
and few other places, but what we basically have here is a book/novel
with mostly still images, music and sound effects, packaged into an
app that runs on virtually any device. This form of visual
storytelling encourages interaction by allowing readers to get
involved and make choices at various points, which is why...
15 Of The World’s Scariest Haunted Houses
15 Of The World's Scariest Haunted HousesIf you love horror movies, then the
idea of haunted houses probably sounds yummidelish. I feel the same
way … more or less. There was a time when I’d look forward to these
elaborately designed horror-themed adventures every Halloween season.
Be it teaming up with friends, or bringing my little sister along, we
headed into the coordinated depths of the unknown with the sole
purpose of scaring the proverbial shit out of ourselves.
Nowadays, I look at haunted houses like
‘meh’. Don’t get me wrong, the concept is still cool as fuck, but
with me being so busy, plus long ass lines, being in the presence of
humanoids … yeah, I’m even less of a people person north of 40 …
paranoia from too much horror, too much weed, and too little faith in
humanity … yeah, the thrill is gone. I am a bit bummed that I never
got to experience one of those “so scary and complex we’ll give you
a refund if you make...
