Retro Slasher ‘Splatter Camp’ Heading To Camp Crystal Lake

The upcoming throwback slasher flick Slatter Camp is heading to Friday the 13th’s Camp Crystal Lake, sort of. Every film in the Friday the 13th franchise may be tied to the same camp but in reality, they were all filmed in different locations. Jason Lives was actually filmed at Georgia’s Camp Daniel Morgan, 30 years later a new film is headed to the camp. Brandon Tobatto’s Splatter Camp is currently running a campaign on Kickstarter to raise funds for his homage to 80’s slashers filmed at Camp Daniel Morgan. “Splatter Camp is a full-length feature film that tells the story of a group of young filmmakers who, while filming a documentary at the long since closed CAMP CANDY, discover that the legend of SCARY LARRY may be more than just fiction when a string of murders start picking them off, one-by-one.

‘Monster Goat’ In Viral Video Is No Monster

During the last 24/48 hours, a video went viral on the internet showing what looks like a nightmarish spawn that was the result of a from a Lovecraft story and a fever dream going home together from the bar. Yes, the video is in fact real. No, it’s no monster or freak of nature; it’s a goat, a normal goat. I know, I can hear some of you now, “What’s normal about that?!” well, first of all, it’s an actual breed of goat called the Damascus Goat. It goes by many names like the Aleppo, Halep, Baladi, Damascene, Shami, or Chami. They’re a goat breed found in Syria, Cyprus, and Lebanon and are highly valued. The Damascus is bred for its milk which is used to make cheese, meat, and hides. Think of them as the cows of their region, these goats aren’t little either, they grow to a decent size which makes them important, they even breed some for

Salt Mines Coming To ‘Friday The 13th : The Game’

First off, no, it’s not a new level. In fact, it’s a place players of the game DON’T want to go. The multiplayer-based game Friday the 13th: The Game has a group of players taking on the role of “councilors” at Camp Crystal Lake while another player is selected to be the behemoth masked killer Jason who hunts them down and kills them. Players can escape different ways from the camp only when they complete the right tasks to accomplish the chosen method of escape. Of course, like any other online game players deal with the second most despised online player gamers hate encountering, “the salty”. In gaming, “salty” describes a player who gets upset at losing or being out-played by another player this immediately then leads them to turn into the next type of gamer people hate encountering online, the rager. A “rager” is a player who is enraged who usually stays in a state of rage for the

The Trouble With Eli Roth’s DEATH WISH

(NOTE: THIS IS JUST MY OPINION. IF YOU DON’T AGREE, I RESPECT THAT) Gun’s are cool, shooting bad guys is badass, and 6-chamber street justice is the name of the game in Eli Roth’s deeply problematic Death Wish. Initially delayed after the tragic Las Vegas shooting last October, Death Wish had the great misfortune of being released only a few weeks after the tragic shooting at Stonemason Douglas High school in Florida. It seems there’s too much gun violence in America to respectfully release a film celebrating gun violence. Well, that’s assuming it’s possible to respectfully release a film celebrating gun violence at all. The Charles Bronson led original, released back in 1974, hasn’t aged particularity well, but can at least be said to be a product of the times. What’s Eli Roth’s excuse, releasing a film in 2018 that is so unabashedly pro-murder, pro-vigilante, and generally misguided and ugly. Extended scenes of fictional violence has never been something that’s

Kubrick Estate Auctioning Never Before Seen Cut Of ‘The Shining’ Among Other Items

Stanley Kubrick may be gone, but his legendary films still live and flourish. Aste Bolaffi, an Italian auction website, has posted a number of pieces of Kubrick memorabilia. The item that is garnering the most attention is a never before seen cut of ‘The Shining’ which is longer than any previously released cuts and includes a deleted scene that has never been seen by the public. “Long cut of the original film The Shining containing the scene in which Wendy, played by Shelley Alexis Duvall, carries Danny, played by little Danny Lloyd. These cuts, given by Kubrick to D’Alessandro, are particularly rare because the director notoriously burned all the leftovers at the conclusion of the editing.” The auction for this historic piece stars at $3,700. If you want even more ‘Shining’ love, the jacket worn by Jack Nicholson’s auction price starts at $12,000. The auction promises many items for a collection of Kubrick’s films.
