Deviling on Scary Movie Saturday!

Deviling director Michael Sharpe with actor Catherine Trail of Monomaniacal.

Welcome back to another edition of Scary Movie Saturday here at Mutantville.com.   This week, we’re featuring the latest work from our horror filmmaking cohort in crime – the very talented Michael Sharpe.  Deviling tells the tale of mortician Ronald and his attempts to reunite with his estranged girlfriend.  It’s a story that hits close to the heart for a lot of us and believe me when I say the ending will make you shiver in fear. Well you won’t have to wait for the Nevermore Film Festival to see Deviling when you can watch it right here!

So what are you waiting for?  Indie horror is alive and well and you can watch Deviling streaming online – right now – for free!  It’s Deviling on Scary Movie Saturday!

Linda Blair Coming to Charlotte for Mad Monster Party this March!

Linda Blair coming to Mad Monster Party this March!

LINDA BLAIR joins the MAD MONSTER PARTY March 23rd-25th, 2012 in Charlotte, NC! That’s right! Regan MacNeil herself will be… “In here. With us.” The star of The Exorcist, Airport 1975, Sarah T. – Portrait of a Teenage Alcoholic, Hell Night, Chained Heat, Savage Streets, Grotesque and all-around genre icon is also a prominent animal activist. The Li…nda Blair WorldHeart Foundation is an animal rescue charity devoted to finding homes for and stopping the suffering of animals.

Join Linda, Rutger Hauer, Brad Dourif, Angus Scrimm, Tony Todd, Roddy Piper, Ace Frehley and over 30 guests at the Mad Monster Party. Only a few R.I.P. tickets are left, so if you want to walk through the Haunted Mill with celebrity guests, get reserved seating at all panels and events, not have to wait in the regular lines and get express/priority line treatment and all-access (not to mention access to the exclusive R.I.P. Lounge all weekend and a bunch of swag), then ACT NOW!

The Blake Hotel is offering another limited number of discounted rooms, but they WILL SELL OUT AGAIN. The first block of rooms they offered sold out very quickly, so if you’re hoping to stay at the event hotel, don’t wait…

Clive Barker and the Uncanny Horror of Streeborama.

Nightbreed (1990)

It comes as little surprise to long time Mutantville Players to hear that Clive Barker is Streebo’s favorite horror storyteller.  Clive Barker’s work was an influence on me long before I ever realized that I was a true fan and horror geek.  Perhaps this influence started with Hellraiser II: Hellbound as I was lucky enough to join a friend who had advance passes to see the movie in the theater.

Hellraiser II: Hellbound would mark only my second venture into horror at the movies and boy did I pick a crazy movie as my sophomore viewing.   My mind was simply overwhelmed by the mix of occult madness, flayed villains, otherworldly Cenobites and a near endless variety of unpleasant people committing atrocities on themselves and others.  I did not know then but from that moment on I was irrevocably hooked on horror.

Later that same year, I would finally see the original Hellraiser on VHS at a friend’s house.  Despite the fact that there is less time spent in the otherworld in Barker’s directorial effort – I found Hellraiser to be much more disturbing than it’s sequel.  The perverse love triangle between Julia, Frank and Larry AND the Cenobites if you want to take it that far got under my skin in a way that standard stalk and slash fare could not. The body mutilation and the S&M subculture that is seen in the film also represented a darker set of desires for Barker’s characters than that of the typical teenage babysitter fare.

In honor of our good friend and inner core Mutantville Player, Super-K, and the new addition to his family – baby Emily – we thought why not feature a body horror classic about killer kids – The Brood!  David Cronenberg’s The Brood is another disturbing body horror classic from the master.

Baby Emily and Samantha are doing well and recovering nicely.  The Mutantville Players want to send out a big round of positive energy and thought waves to our very own Super-K – Kirk himself.  Congratz to you and the fam, Big Daddy!  Ring in the new year in style and enjoy a round of Scary Movie Saturday with The Brood on Mutantville.com.
