"I had no real idea what the Sinister Creature Con was going to be like. It was the first year, they had a good line up of celebrities attending and the vendor list was plentiful, but a horror con in Sacramento? To my pleasant surprise, it was a huge success! More people in attendance then I think anyone expected. All there to see their Rocky Horror Show idols, such as Barry Boswick, or Cleve Hall from Monster Man, or even me!
 
The great things about these types of conventions are everyone is there for the same reason. They love everything horror, always have.

Soylent drink being advertised on Facebook is a real thing!

With a tag line like "Enjoy a meal as versatile as you." You'd think that the makers of Soylent know about the 1973 movie Soylent Green.  That movies plot is that in the not too distant future there's a company called Soylent Corporation that is manufacturing rations for the starving New York City population.  Well these major ingredient of this Soylent Green ration is found to be..  Wait for it..  Human!  Yes!  Soylent Corporation is feeding the populace human.

Now why would a company put out a product under the Soylent name without even thinking of the past of this very same moniker?  Are they just naive of what thoughts comes along with the Soylent name?  Are they very aware and just hoping that no one can even remember that movie?  Maybe they know all well about the Soylent Green movie and are hoping for some controversy and to maybe sell some product as a result?  I'm not quite sure but I'll go ahead and send them an email and see if they respond.  I'll post my findings here as an update when I get word back.  Keep your eyes peeled!

Now I know it's only 2016 but I guess Soylent decided to get a "leg up" on the competition?  "People need it.. in the year 2022" I'm just at a loss for words.  Below is a screenshot of their website.  Feel free to go to Soylent.com to check out what they have to offer.  It's apparently a subscription based "meal" in a bottle.  You can get up to 144 "rations" a month for a discounted price of $348.  That's only $4,176 dollars a year.  That would give you a little less than 5 bottles a day.

It comes in at 400 calories a bottle and claims to be Vegan/Animal Free.  Can you eat human and still be Vegan?  I mean are we considered animals?  I'm being silly here obviously..  This is based on the "Drink 2.0" of Soylent.  It also says it is not organic, kosher, gmo-free, allergen-free, or gluten-free.  Well there goes all the hopes for you gluten-free cannibals!

The Witch Movie toy playset? NEED!

Have you seen The Witch yet?  I opted out of sitting in Austin traffic the other day and just popped into the South Lamar Alamo Drafthouse to watch it all by my lonesome because..  Not one of my movie going friends would go with me to see it.  They're all pansies I guess?  Anyway!  I got my cookie dough shake and queso fries and pealed my eyes to watch it..  Oh and I posted on Instagram that I was watching it of course..  Because if it doesn't get posted to Instagram it didn't happen right?  As soon as I throw the post up there the comments start rolling in.. And I expected this..  Don't get me wrong, but I was hearing a lot of good things so I wasn't expecting that many negative comments.  "I didn't like it", "There's a scene in the middle that's ok but overall :(", etc.  There was one positive comment and it was: "I fucking loved this. Easily one of my favorite films of the last 5-6 years."

So why is there all of this opposite side of the spectrum review business?  I think maybe people were expecting something different than what it actually was.  The Witch is a gritty real film about faith, religion, witchcraft, and possession with some satanic elements dashed in.  They aren't thrown in your face at every turn.  You aren't hanging out with witches the whole film.  You don't get to see most of the dastardly things the witches are doing.  A lot of the things are eluded to and it's presented to us in a sombre tone throughout.  It's a very slow burn so for all of the gold fish attention spanned millenials, they were indeed antsy throughout the film.  I guess they should have brought in Michael Bay for a couple explosions for this one?

My favorite part of the film is the cinematography and the uneasy-ness you are plopped into.  I was on edge throughout the movie.  I wasn't able to watch the film as I do most horror films.  Most horror films I'm presented with some beautiful kills displayed for me to dissect and revel in.  I really do love sprays of blood.  I'm sick I know.  Although you do get treated to some blood in The Witch it's only sprinkled in and I was pretty stoked on those moments don't get me wrong.  It's also lacking the elements of sex and nudity that a lot of horror films use as a crutch.  Oh how I do love those crutches though.  There's just enough fantasy in the movie for you to say "Oh okay I'm just watching a movie", but it's added in towards the end and most of the time you are dealing with what most people of the puritanical America would have dealt with.

I was definitely happy with the film and I'll be adding it to my video collection as soon as it comes out for sure.  It's not for everybody.  I can't even really put my finger on the type of people that would enjoy it.  It takes a different mindset.  You'll all just have to watch it to see for yourself.  If you've seen it I'd like you to post in the comments why you liked it or hated it.  Until then check out this Playmobil set by MillionarePlayboy.com !!

Stoya reads from Necrophlia Variations, You'll want to watch till the end!!

The Other Side of the Door - Movie Clip!

 

"A family lives an idyllic existence abroad until a tragic accident takes the life of their young son. The inconsolable mother learns of an ancient ritual that will bring him back to say a final goodbye.  She travels to an ancient temple, where a door serves as a mysterious portal between two worlds. However, when she disobeys a sacred warning about never opening that door, she upsets the balance between life and death."

You don't go fucking around with the afterlife..  Didn't we learn this in Pet Sematary?  Or any paranormal movie for that matter?  I mean the possibility of contacting our deceased loved ones is always tempting... BUT JUST DON'T DO IT!  Anyways!  Will you guys be checking out The Other Side of the Door?  Let me know in the comments what you think..  Also check out the trailers and clips!!

Some insight into The Witch movie coming out Feb 19th (video)

 

Nice little Featurette about The Witch.  I'm really looking forward to this one.  There's lots of good buzz out there about it being amazing.  I like the stripped down visual feeling that we are getting from the trailers and previews coming out.Bring it on witches!

The Witch 2015 out Feb 19th

Witches seem to be all the rage these days!  Everywhere you look on Instagram you see ladies getting witchier..  Is "witchier" a word?  Well it is now!  All the brands are all going satanic and adopting witchcraft as the new "thing".  This has all been helped along by shows like Salem, American Horror Story and so on.  Most of them don't really portray anything "realistic" or even close to real.  Watching the trailer for The Witch it strikes me as being a grittier telling of the whole "witch" folklore.  It also promises some good ole black magic and possession!  Fun for the whole family right?  Take a look at the trailer below:
