The Whisperer in Darkness Trailer

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

This is the trailer for the upcoming film The Whisperer in Darkness which is from HPLHS Motion Pictures, the same group that brought you the now cult classic silent film adaptation of The Call of Cthulhu (a movie that every Lovecraft fan should see). It looks like they’re keeping the old time feel to this Lovecraft adaptation as well, but in the style of a 1940′s noir film.

Rise and Fall of the Nazi Dinosaurs

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

Witness as a crack team of paratroopers investigate an icy base camp with a diabolical secret hidden deep within a sinister laboratory. There lying in wait are the most insidious and evil creations mankind has ever seen! Evil in the form of Nazi Dinosaurs! God save us all.

This snazzy little film was created by artist Alex Poutianinen in just five days and for just 20 bucks. Yeah, it shows but non the less it’s clever and funny.

Half-Life Fan Film: Escape From City 17

Friday, February 13th, 2009

My fellow Half-Life fans, I present to you something awesome – Escape From City 17, a Half-Life 2 fan film. Directed by the Purchase Brothers, this is just part one of what will hopefully be a long series of shorts based on the hit video game from Valve.

From their YouTube profile:

The Escape From City 17 short film series is an adaptation based on the Half Life computer game saga by Valve Corporation. Originally envisioned as a project to test out numerous post production techniques, as well as a spec commercial, it ballooned into a multi part series. Filmed guerilla style with no money, no time, no crew, no script, the first two episodes were made from beginning to end on a budget of $500.

I really hope they continue with this project since it’s far better than anything Hollywood could produce I’m sure.

Games Workshop’s Blood Bowl Video Game Trailer

Friday, January 30th, 2009

Games Workshop is coming out with their newest video game release Blood Bowl, which if you’re an old school fan of their table-top games you lovingly remember this one. For those not in the know Blood Bowl was a table-top game that combined elements of Warhammer Fantasy Battle with NFL style football, something nerds like myself have a grand fondness for both. Now after many years they are bringing it to the video game world, and hot damned it look amazingly gore filled fun.

Blood Bowl will be available on most platforms from the looks of it and will hit the streets sometime this year.

F.E.A.R. 2: New Site, Demo Info And Trailor

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

Sorry for the lack of posts my fellow lovers of freaky-deaky things. I’ve been putting in a lot of hours in work, including a few art shows and conventions coming up. But that’s not what I’m here for. What I’m here for is to remind you that the game F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin will be offered as a downloadable demo tomorrow, January 22nd. And, if you’ve not noticed, that the official site has been given a makeover. From the Warner Bros. Interactive press release:

“Users will find the latest developer news on F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, as well as briefs from the community at large. Players can also investigate Alma’s sordid past in a section called ‘Alma’s Reality,’ and read character dossiers on the F.E.A.R. 2 team page. In addition, fans will discover an inside look at the mysterious Armacham Technology Corporation and the company’s top-secret projects.”

And just in case you have yet to see it, here’s the game trailer.

Lesbian Vampire Killers Movie Trailer

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

I think the name of this upcoming film pretty much says it all my friends – Lesbian Vampire Killers. This may very well beat out Zombie Strippers as the best movie title ever.

The film is due out March 20th. Be sure to check out the Lesbian Vampire Killers site for even more lesbo blood sucking action.

Metallica’s “All Nightmare Long” Video [Kind Of NSFW - Gore]

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

Through the years I’ve become a Metalica hater. Between the sell-out attitude, lack of musical integrity and the obvious overzealous greed for more money than anyone can need, I’ve not found a reason to like them in some time. That is until now.

I can man-up when I have to and this is one of those times. Above is one of the more creative music videos I have seen in quite some time – “All Nightmare Long” from their newest release Death Magnetic. The song itself hearkens back to when Metalica wasn’t Selloutica, with heavy string action, bombastic bass drums and lyrics that are dark and brooding. But what really wins me over is the video itself. With heavy inspiration coming from both the Cold War and the Zombie Apocalypse, and clever usage of throw-back filming techniques, “All Nightmare Long” is very effective and entertaining. I really don’t want to spoil the thing so I’ll just leave it at that.

Krampus

Friday, December 5th, 2008

Today it the Feast of St. Nicholas! So we all know what that means, right? Krampus time! Don’t know who the Krampus is, well get yourself educated! Read some books about the sinister servant of St. Nicholas. Look at some pictures. Get to know him. He’s all the rage. Even made a cameo in an episode of The Venture Bros. He’s so popular in Europe that people make Krampus costumes and roam the streets to torment townsfolk, or if really creative, make a campy music video about him. Don’t believe me? Then prepare to be amazed and stupified.
