So, I have finally been through the nearby haunts Kentucky/Indiana has to offer. Owensboro has The Slaughter on Second Street... Evansville has The Zombie Farm, The Asylum + The slaughter, The Old Catacombs + The house of lector. The Old Catacombs and The house of lector flat out suck. They have a great set up which is completely ruined by poor acting and a lack of good props. If your good at scaring people you shouldn't need to rely on power tools. Plus I was constantly missing a step or running into something not to mention I had to avoid puke at some point. Awful haunt. The Slaughter on Second Street and the Asylum were decent and worth the money to go in. The Zombie Farm is my favorite though, great stuff! For one being greeted by Skeet Gean is awesome every time. Funny guy, real nice. Overall it has great actors that are very interactive and make the whole thing a real blast. Plus the props from Gore Galore including their Goat Head prop. Over all zombie Farm is my favorite! The Asylum does have a Zombie Lurker prop from Gore Galore which is pretty Awesome to.

Okay, that should cover it and give you some idea of what to expect. I'm in full support of The Zombie Farm, definitely the most fun out of them all. I'll post pictures of me at The Zombie farm as soon as they are uploaded. For now, goodnight.

My tattoo
So my tattoo is all healed and looking good! Take a look...
I gave a basic concept sketch to the artist and he ran with it and exceeded my expectations! Thanks Will!
Here is my concept sketch...
I'd say he really took it up a notch and left me with a piece anyone could be proud to wear...
It took about four hours of work and Will was easy to get along with and made the over all experience quite comfortable.

Hellraiser...
Okay it has come to my attention that Hellraiser: Revelations is a sequel and not the actual remake... First of all, I'm never satisfied with my own writing but I know I'm at least a decent writer; but if f*****g DOUG BRADLY of all people turned down my script I'd rewrite that screen play so f*****g quick... So the director Victor Garcia instead of having writer Gary J. Tunnicliffe redo his f**k up he casts someone else to play the legendary and iconic role of Pinhead... I don't know who these two A**-Clowns are but I've immediately lost all respect for them... I don't know if Doug Bradly has other reasons for not taking the role but I can't imagine he would give it up without good reason and either way I would not have made the film regardless much less RUSHED it. Hellraiser is a classic, not to mention it popped my horror movie cherry. I really am upset to hear from the first screening they showed the film was terrible and without Doug Bradly. The only thing people have seemed to agree on is the gore is executed well. F**k that though, Clive Barker created a unique story rich with plot and wasn't about the gore. well... At least there was a good thought out story there. Though the movies always had the gore factor they at least stayed true to "The Hellbound Heart" to some extent when they began and kept the story rich. No one ever gets to direct ANY of my work except for me... I will still probably watch it so whatever... I'm defiantly not paying to watch it though...
Here take a look at the "NEW" Pinhead:
F*****g A... This is like the era of unoriginal work and piss poor artists making quick money by ruining other peoples hard work by adding on to it with grade A crap...
Other than that I'm not excited about a remake but I can at the very least say I am curious... I'm really not sure what's going on with it and I'm not sure if project: Angel is a part of it but I know the guy wanted to simply redo Pinheads look himself to keep some hack job from doing anything like above.
Either way Project: Angel is a million times better looking than that straight up bargain bin garbage... Also does kind of have the look and feel of Clives current artwork.
Check out project angel:
Still not our classic Doug Bradly work of art but... After hearing about the sequel and seeing that imposter, I really can't complain...
Also Clive is apparently writing a Hellbound heart II and has just released the new comic which I hear doesn't disappoint (go figure)...

Hey stranger...
Okay, it really has been a while since I left any ridiculous banters on here so I've got your fix tonight...
Not a whole lot going on lately... Except the lease ending at the end of the month causing a desire to move back to our home town along with the stress of moving and the friendly but violent fights family's have during the whole process... But not much else.
As of writing wise... Well I haven't worked on any of my projects for some time now, maybe a week. I feel dreadfully useless because of it but I vow to finish something before the end of the summer. I will tell you I have made great progress on my screenplay and my novel which I believe will be finished much earlier than I first thought. I hope soon I will have the time to work on my bigger projects.
On another note, I have indeed begun to write poetry again! Awesome right? It's been a while and I started off rusty but we might be seeing something going on with that...
Hmm, what else... Oh I should have mentioned it but... I did in fact rent Hobo with a Shotgun when it came out on the VOD the day of and all I can say is I watched it twice in a row right then and there. It captures the ole Grind-house feel perfectly and throws gore galore at you along side a well written almost cute little love story about ye old vagabond and his always loaded boom stick. From what I saw behind the scenes there was a lot of innovative techniques used for FX and it looks brilliant all the way through. I give it five stars and a chest bump no doubt. You would be wrong to not check it out...
Also I expect to see MR. Fister in theaters in the coming years!
Watch the trailer HERE...

Bleh...
Why can't I seem to finish anything? I wouldn't say I'm lazy, perhaps easily distracted... Okay I am lazy but not when it comes to writing... All I have to do is sit here and type... I'm generally doing it anyway, so why is nothing done...
Okay... Gotta get some work done then I guess....

Why I hate politics...
It's real simple here why I hate politics or more so why I hate discussing them, actually more like loathe. I think it's fair to say that now days I am social and I am rather well spoken and have some respectful views of the world, but some people will not be convinced they are wrong. I can, why can't other folks? Well, some folks will lie and lie when everyone around them knows the stone cold truth and never change their mind. They'll flat out say some bulls**t to make a point even though it is well known common knowledge they are arguing against.So no matter how much or how well you argue they will not change their mind... So why bother to argue?
I say I don't belong to any political party for this reason, either side can be right or wrong at any given moment! Labels like this are a huge reason we fight in the first place, someone says they're this or that and some one says they're the other and boom neither of them could ever be right in the other persons eyes no matter what even if they're discussing parenting... Well, in my eyes they're both wrong in that case... I believe we should all just call ourselves Americans with one common goal in mind and that is making a better safer America. Better yet how about we just be PEOPLE with one common goal of making a better, safer, PEACEFUL WORLD? No labels, no fighting, no lying, just coming together to put forth ideas that benefit us all as a whole!
So if I am ever approached about politics keep in mind I follow my own... I believe in helping out in anyway I can to better our planet, telling the truth, being positive, being humane, not making my every goal in life driven towards personal gain, I listen to others opinions and humor them because even though I may not agree with an opinion, fighting over it will only make me feel negative... I also believe that when you know you're wrong to the point that the s**t flying out of your mouth makes people want to cause you harm it's time to give up and admit you're a lying piece of s**t and not continue to lie and make yourself look even dumber than you already have!
Another thing, none of us and I mean NONE of us are anywhere near as smart as some of us seem to think we are... We are insignificant in the grand scheme of things and we don't even fully use our brain! This world and universe is much to vast for you to gain all the knowledge there is to gain in this lifetime, which means when you call someone stupid you in return are calling yourself stupid. We all live in different walks of life and had entirely different learning experiences. No one is any smarter than anyone else, perhaps more knowledgeable in a certain subject but that's it. You need to open yourself up to learning and realize how little you really do know despite how smart you think you are. I know one thing for sure and that is that I don't know anything... I have wisdom, life experience and some education but I'm not even a tiny bit closer to being knowledgeable in all walks of life.
Now if you excuse me I'm going back to writing about zombies...
