Ghost Adventures...

Last night's episode of Ghost Adventures had me interested (though i am not fond of the show).  But after a few minutes into the beginning of last night's show i started thinking that maybe it was wrong for them to do a show like this.  Most of their episodes have been light-hearted and involved people's "spirits" that have been long deceased whose family members are usually long gone as well.  But this Friday's was extremely different, it took a serious tone, a sad one even, because the parents and siblings of the deceased girl were still alive and hopeful that their child was still in the house with them in spirit form.  The episode told the tale of how this man's daughter died in a very brutal car collision that involved a tree.  The girl, only 17, did not die at the scene but was a few days later pronounced brain dead.  The family made the difficult decision none of us ever want to make and the girl passed away.  The family, grief stricken, believed that she was still in the house in some form or another.  For 7 years they even kept her cell phone in service and baked her a birthday cake.  The evidence discovered by the team just was not enough to be convincing to the general public (perhaps if they had more time they could have gathered more), but the parents got so excited over what they were hearing on the auditory equipment.  The Ghost Adventures team should stick to those that are long dead with no living close relatives.  To see this family's loss was extreme, it was both painful and sad.  That family's grief should not have been televised for the masses to "critique" and/or argue about.  True, there was a "ghost" story, but it was too soon to tell it to the loudly skeptical general public.  I hope in the future they consider the after effects and affects their episodes can have on both the families of those they work with and their viewers.  Not all who watch Ghost Adventures are kindly and my hope is that this family's grief and beliefs are not brutally criticized all over the internet by hateful individuals.

Dellamorte Dellamore

Long time no type i see, you must forgive me for that. Life has a tendency to get in the way these days.

Today i present you all with a good idea for movie night (if you're into such movies as what i'm about to write about). For those of you who like comedic horror films i offer you the Dellamorte Dellamore aka Cemetery Man movie. It's a lovely tale of death, zombies, love, friendship, and gore.

The main character is a cemetery watchman named Francesco Dellamorte. Francesco, as of late, has been shooting the dead. Why is he shooting the dead? Because the dead are coming back from the grave in the form of hungry zombies. With the help of his mentally challenged friend Gnaghi, Francesco deals with the dead after they wake up every 7 nights and is reasonably content to do so. Sure, he wants to leave the town of Buffalora, but he does have to protect the town from the "returners". That is, until he meets a young woman with whom he falls quickly and madly in love with. Then things get interesting and Francesco starts to lose it when he realizes he has accidently killed his one true love.

Give it a good watch, it contains quite a few laughs. My description could never do this movie justice.

More Dark Wallpapers

These wallpapers are homemade (except for the Captain Spaulding one), however, they are pretty wicked. The ripple pools are a simple design and on my artblog i'll tell how to make them:A.D. Art

To add these Wallpapers to your computer, just click the image and then after the new larger size pops up, right click on the picture and select the "Set as Background" option. The image should then be your new desktop wallpaper.

A Few Interesting Movie Links (part A)

Most of us enjoy a good horror movie, whether it be cheesey, realistic, or just damn odd. Below i offer links you may not know about that offer different information on the movies you like.

First, i offer Hellraiser links:


Created the banner there myself, 'twas entered into The Hellbound Web banner contest, i did not win. This site offers info on both the Hellraiser movie series as well as the books and comic books. There's also contests you can enter and Hellraiser pictures you can see (or even use if you enter some of the contests).

Hellraiser: Online
This site offers collectibles and other merchandise for the Hellraiser and Clive Barker fan.

Clive Barker's Site
The man behind the madness. His site shows you the inner workings of a brutal mind. He displays his art and various other things. Definitely worth a look.

The Crow movie links:

James O'Barr's Site
The artist and the Creator of the Crow.

Crow Fans
Definitely the ultimate Crow fansite. If they have the funds, they offer Croween, a yearly (sometimes) Halloween contest for those who wish to dress up as a favourite Crow character or for those who wish to make up a new Crow character. Amazingly, i won the 2008 contest (i about crapped my pants and rolled over backwards with delight) and i encourage any and all crowfans to enter if there's one for 2009. The site is really fantastic with info on Brandon Lee, the movies, upcoming birthdays for all the Crow movies' stars, and Crow images.

A Boy and His Bird
A site offering excellent information as well as the opportunity to submit your poems, fan fictions, graphics and art. Their site still has some areas under construction but most of the links and pages are up and running good.

The Crow's Loft
This site is quite similar to Crow Fans and is a part of that site. Still worth a peeksy though.

The House of Usher:

The House of Usher
The House of Usher brought Edgar Allan Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher" into the 60's. It was a great movie, starring Vincent Price. It moved a bit slow at times but was well worth the watching.



The Devil's Rejects:
The Devil's Rejects on Wikipedia
Information on the sequel to Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses. I'd throw in a video clip but YouTube has disabled the embedding feature on all the Devil's Rejects Captain Spaulding videos. i will however, include the link to the YouTube video.

YouTube video of one of Captain Spaulding's greatest moments
The video. Captain Spaulding is one of the funniest characters in Horror history. Sid Haig did a great job playing the part.

The Crow Wallpaper

In my searches online i can never seem to find a decent wallpaper for The Crow movie/comic. I created one myself using the comic book images and the movie's images.

The Crow Compilation
To add it to your own computer, click this: The Crow WallpaperWhat size it will be coming from photobucket, i don't know, seeing as how they resized my images without permission. On my computer, it's 1440 x 900. The biggest it seems to be getting now is 1024 x 640. After clicking the link to the picture, using the right mouse button, click on the image and then select Set as Background. And poof, you should have a nice new Crow wallpaper on your computer. EDIT:: I just realized that you can also get the full sized image by clicking the picture above using the same steps stated above...

The wallpaper's images weren't created by me. The copyrights belong with James O'Barr, the directors, producers, and creators of The Crow movie, and one artist who i cannot find the name of. The unknown artist did the picture in the lower right hand corner. The poetic lyrics are from the band Audioslave's song "Doesn't Remind Me". The font used for the words "The Crow" was Mael and can be downloaded for free at Abstract Fonts
