Zombie Golf!

Nothing goes better with golf than zombies. Well at least not for golfing horror fans. While I'm not a gofer myself I can recognize a unique opportunity for the golf enthusiast. Now what could be better than a zombie golf fest? Or would that be a golfing zombie fest? Whichever you prefer, what makes it even better is that all the proceeds go to charity.


Scares That Care is a charity that raises money to support various charities for sick kids. It was founded by Independent filmmaker Joe Ripple as a way to bring horror fans, and those involved in the horror business together for a common cause. The common cause to support sick kid and their families. Hopefully one day we can make childhood illness just a horror story on the big screen. Just a myth. Until that day I urge you to support Scares That Care and if you love golf and you love zombies, or even if you just want to putter around, check out the Scares That Care Zombie Golf Tournament

One Week Away

From Texas Frightmare Weekend. Awesome lineup including Deiter Laser onbe of the stars of The Human Centipede. This is a rare American apeparance for Deiter and I cna't wait to meet him. Along with him is the director of The Human Centipde, Tom Sixx. The vicitms from The Human Centipede have proven popular guests at US conventions. I met the three victims last year at one of their first ever appearances. Getting a chance to add the mad doctor and Sixx to my Human Centipede poster is a rare oppurtunity I cna't pass up.

Their are many other great guests at Texas Frightmare besides the Human Centipede guests. From the Saw series Cary Elwes makes his first American horror convention apeparance, along with Costas Mandylor, and Shawnee Smith.

From Japan come Eihia Shiina and Yoshihiro Nishamura for a rare stateside apappearance. Also on the bill are horror author/director Clive Barker, as well as Doug Bradley and Ashley Laurence from Barker's Hellraiser. Dorector Don COscarelli and Angus Scrimm from his film Phantasm. Three of the stars of The Boondock Saints, and many, many more.

Horror fans should definitely come out for this rare chance to met stars of The Human Centipede

Scream 4 hottie Alison Brie

Alison Brie

Whether you call it Scream 4 or Scre4m, whether you consider it the best entry since the original or just another failure from series creator Wes Craven, we can all agree it featured some hotties.  Veteran Scream hottie Courtney Cox and Neve Campbell return and are joined by Marly Shelton and the young hottie Hayden Paniettiere.  It also stars stone cold hottie Alison Brie.  Alison Brie is best be known for her role in Madmen the hit AMC series.  However she has some horror cred after starring in Born, with a horror icon, Kane Hodder.  I first noticed Alison Brie in Hot Sluts, a series of comedy shorts.  Mostly I noticed her beautiful cleavage.  Enjoy some pics of hottie Alison Brie and her Scre4ming hot cleavage below.

Insidious

Insidious is the new film from director James Wan who is most famous as a co creator of the Saw franchise. Insidious is being billed as the scariest film since Poltergeist. I’m not willing to go so far as agree with that statement but Insidious is an effective horror movie.

Insidious starts of with a typical family, Rose Byrne and Patrick Wilson star as the parents of two young boys. After an injury, the oldest child slips into a coma. Doctors can find no medical reason for the coma, and he fails to respond to any treatment.

Meanwhile strange occurrences start to happen in the family home. Noises and strange shadows evolve into a full out haunting. As the stress mounts from the haunting and the coma, the family decide to move to escape the specters.

Unfortunately the occurrences follow them and continue to grow in strength. The family consults a medium, played by Lyn Shaye, who informs them it isn’t the house but their child that is haunted. The situation quickly grow violent as the spirits resist being banished. This leaves the father to take drastic steps to save his son and his family.

The first half of Insidious really works. The scares are all genuine and I jumped several times. J Larose, from Saw III was especially frightening as one of the spirits haunting the family. I would have never considered Tiptoe Through the Tulips especially scary, but wan finds a way to make it work when mixing it with a child ghost.

The most horrifying revenant however is the “demon.” Early on he is only vaguely seen and this adds to the sense of dread. In fact one of the only miscues, in my opinion, was bringing the creature fully into the light. Half seen he is truly terrifying. Fully seen, all I could think of was he looked like a cross between Freddy Krueger and The Creeper on his way to Burning Man.

Luckily most of the end game scares come form the most sinister ghost of all the “old lady.” if your blood hasn’t already turned cold in Insidious it will when she makes her appearance. Each appearance.

The film does veer heavily into the realm of Poltergeist. Wilson must venture into the astral plane to try and rescue his son. I wasn’t too crazy about this idea at first as it seems to close to Poltergeist. While there were a few creepy moments, like the frozen family, this is the weakest part of the film.

A lot of that is due to the demon making a full appearance. While the viewers might have felt cheated to never see him full on, I think he would have been much more effective staying in the shadows. The end is saved by the old lady, and a twist that even though I knew was coming, was pulled off exceptionally. Any other ending would have felt wrong.

Insidious is the best full on, supernatural horror film I have seen in a while. There is just enough humor to give you a small rest from the scares. Most of the laughs come from the “ghost hunters.” Wan is able to draw the viewer in, so that the laughs never seem forced. You feel like the family on screen is laughing too, and when you faceplam, you have to believe that Wilson and Byrne were too.

The requisite séance is handled in an surreal, way with the addition of the gas mask for the medium. It looks silly at first, but it works, adding a dynamic that normally isn’t there. Once again I felt like I was in the same boat as the family. We struggle to hear whats going on just as they do.

The film is also helped by the always wonderful Barbara Hershey. Fresh off a killer performance in Black Swan, she plays Wilsons mother in the film. I like the fact that she was supportive of Byrne, against the grain of most haunt films where the mother in law is an adversary. She acts as a comforter and a device to drive the film forward by introducing Shaye’s character.

All of the characterizations seem more than the usual cookie cutter horror stereotypes. Wilson is a supportive husband, going so far as to pick up and move homes for his wife. There are tensions within the family, as could be expected when a child is comatose, but they are played out realistically. Kudos all around to the acting, and the writing of the characters.


One last note, Insidious has one of the most effective and scary title screens I can remember. The mixture of sudden sound and the flashing title will illicit a jump if you aren’t expecting it.

Insidious is still in theaters so run out and see it, before it sees you

More PETA Problems for the Handbag Collection...

Article via KGMI:

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) bosses have reignited a dispute with Victoria Beckham over her accessories range, rejecting claims the animal-skin products adhere to strict ethical guidelines.

Executives at the animal rights group slammed the former Spice Girls star when she unveiled the collection last year, with purses made from crocodile and lizard skin, as well as calf leather.

Beckham's spokesperson brushed off the criticism, saying, "Everyone is entitled to personal opinion and choice, but as with all Victoria Beckham products, the handbags are made to the highest quality and design. These skins sit strictly within the CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) regulations, and are monitored at every step of production. The skins are farmed in America under very tight guidelines."

But on Sunday, a representative for PETA once again took aim at the range, which proved a huge hit when it went on sale in January.

A statement reads, "PETA pledges to eat its own cloth hat if the animals skinned to make Victoria Beckham’s bags are humanely or ethically treated. Whether in America or elsewhere, exotic animals suffer tremendously before they are turned into accessories. In the U.S, wild alligators are gaffed (skinned) alive in the swamps, strung up and skinned, or they are raised in filthy, crowded, waste-infused tanks, often in sheds, where the smell alone would knock you over."

"They may be killed by being repeatedly bludgeoned with baseball bats and having their spines crudely severed with hammers and chisels. Exotic skins are produced by incredibly cruel means, no matter how Mrs Beckham’s PR people try to spin it."

Beckham's spokesperson has responded to the latest criticism, telling Britain's Daily Mail, "There is no PR spin here. As is the case for many luxury handbag brands including Chanel, Hermes, Gucci, Dior and others, the Victoria Beckham handbag collection features a small number of styles made from exotic skins."

"Working with and using exotic skins, sits within very strict ethical guidelines and we work absolutely within those guidelines to ensure every bag we produce is accredited with the required Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species certificates."

In VB's Closet: Victoria Beckham Spring 2011 Dress & Christian Louboutin Daffodile Pumps

Yesterday for her birthday dinner, Victoria Beckham looked exquisite wearing her lovely knot drape dress, #88, in the stunning violet parachute silk from her spring 2011 collection.

She paired the dress with her staple accessories - ie: her rose gold Rolex watch & Anita Ko spike bracelet and VB sunglasses. What I noticed right away were her nude Louboutin Daffodile pumps that are quite hard to find! This particular shoe style is quickly becoming a celebrity must have and a Victoria Beckham favorite as this is the second pair she owns. Could she possibly be leaving her Brian Atwoods in the closet for a bit?

Shadow

Italy has a rich history in horror film and one of the newest releases from Italy is 2009s Shadow. Many fans have hailed it as a return to the glory days of Italian horror. While it doesn’t quite reach that level it is a decent little horror film from a new director.



Shadow tells the story of a wounded Iraqi vet finishing up his tour of duty. To escape the memory of his time in Iraq he decides to bicycle across Europe and visit a spot known as the Shadow.



Stopping at a local pub he meets a young woman played by Frontiers Karina Testa, and quickly falls for her. Defending her against unwanted advances he quickly makes an enemy of two locals. Fleeing the bar the two run into the locals again and a desperate fight and flight ensues.



Escaping the two run deeper into the dark forest followed by the local hunters. There all four fall victim to the mysterious character known as Mortis. Mortis brings his victims into his lair where he tortures them one by one. While not as graphic as many torture horror films the scenes are very cringe worthy and chilling.



Probably the best thing about Shadow is Mortis himself. The worst thing is that the character doesn’t get enough time. Due to the ending of the film I think it’s unlikely we will see a sequel. Hopefully Nuot Aquint, who plays Mortis will get more roles as he was absolutely chilling in Shadow.



The ending was unexpected, at least to me as I never saw it coming. Maybe I am too willing to tale things at face value, but I am almost always looking for the “twist” in a horror film. I think the ending was fairly believable and the very last scene definitely shook me a bit. Looking back I can see that there were clues all along that something was amiss. I can understand that people might have a problem with the ending but to me it was the perfect ending foe the film.



The film does have a anti war theme running through it. Some may also see an anti American sentiment. The overly sensitive may be offended, but I didn’t think it was as blatantly anti American as The Hill Have Eyes remake.



Shadow is a film that is worth a look. It might not be a return to the glory days of Italian horror but it is a step in the right direction.

The Only Santa Coming to the Beckhams will be at Christmas

For those of you who were honestly believing that Victoria and David were going to name their daughter... uh.. Santa, rest assured as VB's team has laughed off those rumors (thank goodness).

Victoria Beckham's team has laughed off stories that the designer may be set to call her baby girl Santa Beckham. The story emerged in the Sun newspaper claiming Victoria was inspired by Santa Monica, near where the family lives, but a spokesperson told us there is no truth in the rumours.

"This is simply tabloid nonsense," Beckham's representative told us.

Will Kate Middleton Wear Victoria Beckham To The Royal Reception?

Harper’s Bazaar editor-in-chief Kate Betts believes that soon-to-be princess Kate Middleton will wear a Victoria Beckham piece to an evening reception following her big day.

Betts bets Middleton will be wearing two very modern designers when she walks down the aisle and celebrates her newfound princess-hood.

“I think she’ll wear McQueen for Westminster Abbey, and I think she’ll wear Victoria Beckham to the evening party,” Betts told StyleIte.

McQueen rumors notwithstanding, we think Beckham is a really interesting pick — but it makes sense. As far as we can tell, Beckham is the only designer who’s been invited to the wedding. Betts just might be on to something.
