pre-Ultra Mega Halloween post

OK, I'm in the middle of writing a pretty big article for Halloween, much similar to the very nerdy one I did last year.

But before I do that, I'm just gonna wet yer whistle here with a couple of Horror related things of interest.

First up, I was sittin' around watching AMC's FearFest horrorthon this past week, and they were doing a Friday the 13th marathon. Awesome. Missed the first couple so I ended up randomly on part 5. Its an OK flick and everything, but what I remember the most is the random "punk/new wave" girl Violet and her hilarious death scene. For some reason, I think this might rival the infamous "Garbage Day" from Silent Night Deadly Night 2.



EDIT: pause it at 0:51. Is that a Banjo case??!?! Anyways.....


Is it just me, or does all that robot dancing go on for like... days. It's hypnotic really. When I was looking around for that death scene, I came across an article written by someone about the various behind the scenes and "stuff that never made it to the film" type of things. They said the original way this scene was intended was that Jason was gonna come in and stab her right in her crotch! But the cencors shot that one down so they had to reshoot the scene with her gettin' it in the gut. For some reason they thought a teenage girl getting stabbed in the vag with a machete might have been a little harsh I guess.



Next up is a pretty neat interview with Chris Barnes from Six Feet Under, but more importantly the first 4 Cannibal Corpse records (Corpsegrinder blows). Yeah, after the first album, SFU took a pretty heavy dive (I think Barnes started smoking to much weed personally), but you cant ignore this dudes influence on Death Metal vocals and lyrics. Here he discusses his early horror experiences and how they influenced him. Extra bonus points for the fact that he is being interviewed by my good friend Kelli!! whoa!!

cool! wish the interview was longer. you still gotta read "Precious Metal" when they interview Barnes about how he came up with some of the lyrics for "Tomb..." its pretty sick. Cool that's your friend Kelli from Metal Blade.
