We Can If We Want To

Day Six: A song that reminds you of a friend.

"Kill Tomorrow" by Mushroomhead

A friend of mine loves this song for one reason, and as far as I know, one reason alone.

The childish giggles.

They make him giggle as well.

You Better Mark My Words

Day Five: A song that is often stuck in your head.

"The Impaler" by Winds of Plague

This is one of the easiest songs to get stuck in my head, and also one of my favorites. Plus, it reminds me of Count Vlad Tepes. Why? Because he was the Impaler.

I'm willing to say this song is about him, although I'm probably wrong, as I am with "A New Game".

Because that one is about Freddy Krueger. According to whom, you ask?

Me.

Reminiscing

In light of my love for music, I'm starting a theme for the next 25 days. Everyday (excluding weekends) I will come up with a song that means something to me.

Day One: A Song From My Childhood

"How Do You Like Me Now?!" by Toby Keith

Believe it or not, but I used to be one of the BIGGEST country music fans (if you don't understand why, you must know, I was raised on a ranch. Around cowboys. Real ones. With horses, chaps, rodeo, and everything). That was before I was dragged into the dark abyss known as metal.

Toby Keith was always kind of a gag around our house when I was younger. We knew all his songs, and my little sister even knew "How Do You Like Me Now?!" before she knew her ABC's. It's one of those songs that comes on and I still know every word to.

For which I then get strange looks from fellow metalheads who are unaware of my colorful musical background.

Ah, country. Yeah, that brings back memories.

Pew Pew Pew

Daniel Craig. With a Southern accent. Nothing need more be said.

It Started With An Albino...

Ever since The Da Vinci Code, I've been in love with Paul Bettany. I seem to always enjoy his "religious" roles.

Plus, this has vampires.

That don't sparkle.

Hell yeah!

Because I'm the Goddamn Batman!

*giggle*

Batman always wins by default. Because he's Batman.

Least That's What She Said...

In light of being Ed Gein Week (yes, I made it up. If there really is an Ed Gein week, I have no idea), here is a rather disturbing music video for the song "Nothing to Gein" by Mudvayne, inspired by... wait for it... Ed Gein.

DUN DUN DUN.

The Screams We Make In Other People's Dreams

GUESS WHO'S BIRTHDAY IT IS TODAY???

No, not mine.

Edward Gorey's! The wonderful man who gave us The Gashlycrumb Tinies, The Deranged Cousins, The Haunted Tea-Cosy, etc, etc. My future children will definitely get to know his work.

And for your tasteful ears, Creature Feature's version of The Gashlycrumb Tinies, "A Gorey Demise."

Quotes from Edward Gorey:

"Books. Cats. Life is good."

"It's well we cannot hear the screams we make in other people's dreams."

What will you do to celebrate?

I See the Flesh, and It Smells Fresh

This week's serial killer (used rather loosely in this case) is Ed Gein. He was more of a grave robber, really.

Except Gein didn't make a crazy cipher that nobody can break, so instead here's a pretty picture of Leatherface, a lovely little creature inspired by Ed Gein.

And if you were wondering (you weren't), today's blog title comes from the song "Trash" by Korn.

ZODIAC (2007)

The only decent movie I could find concerning the Zodiac Killer. Although not entirely accurate, but what movie is?
