doug bradley, the guy who played pinhead, came to campus today... he talked to us about death and corpses and gore and stuff. it was pretty fucking cool. he also recited a nice little gruesome "hellbound heart" passage, did some horror storytelling, and made a bunch of jokes about dying. i enjoyed it.
i had him sign my nightbreed vhs (which he was pleasantly surprised to see) and my hellraiser poster, and i asked him what he thought of all the musicians out there sampling his voice. he said that he wasn't too fond of the heavy metal bands that do it, but that he liked the dark electronic bands that do it. further proof that doug bradley fucking rules. i asked him if he'd heard suicide commando's hellraiser album... he said no, but he'll check it out.
anyway. i saw "the grudge" today. it was actually pretty damn creepy. not much gore, but plenty of spooky-ass cgi shit and random jump-scares. definitely worth seeing.
tomorrow, suzi and i are going to see that new "saw" movie... because, you know, seeing people hack their own limbs off gets me all kinds of hot. i can only pray that there will be stump-fucking.
i just got gothminister's "gothic electronic anthems" album... and you know, although their name's a bit gimmicky, the music's not half bad. stompy dark ebm with distorted guitars and weird vocals. works for me.
