Animated Horror Comedy ‘Resurrection Corporation’ Comes To Amazon

Italian filmmaker, Alberto Genovese, who brought you Troma’s Sick Sock Monsters from Outer space, is back with new tale of horror, the indie animated film Resurrection Corporation. Inspired by Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari, Resurrection Corporation follows the paradoxical adventures of a famous undertaker who’s been on the streets since death itself was banned in the city and supplanted by a practical method of resurrection, to which no citizen can resist. The uselessness of the now obsolete coffins drives the funeral director to an economic and existential crisis. Man, now too old, is not able to adapt to the changing times nor is he able to confront a society so distinctly tanatophobic. His own stubbornness will drive the protagonist to expose an irrational system that, in the repudiation of the word ‘end’, reveals all his deception. This dark and morbid (in the best possible way) film about humanity’s fear of death is now out on Amazon Prime Video, from 1844

‘Faces Of Death’ Is Being Given New Life With A Reboot

Odds are you’ve heard about the 1978 movie Faces of Death. Like many movies of our youth, Faces of Death is now getting a reboot that will kick off a new franchise. Billed as a documentary, it shocked and horrified viewers, featuring supposed real deaths, autopsies, and scenes of gore, and bizarre events, up close in clips from around the world. In reality, the majority of the deaths were staged, but the movie, written and directed by John Allen Schwarts, still managed to build a cult following even after it was banned in countries around the world, leaving people desperate to get their hands on a copy of the VHS. Isa Mazzei and Daniel Goldhaber, the duo behind 2018’s thriller Cam will be reuniting for the reboot with Mazzei writing and Goldhaber directing. Legendary Entertainment has acquired the rights and will be behind the new movie, THR reports. Odds are you’ve heard of them too. Legendary is behind movies such

Take A Look At The First Images From Netflix’s “Love, Death, And Robots”

We’ve got a first look at Netflix’s upcoming animated adult series from Tim Miller (Deadpool) and David Fincher (Seven, “Mindhunter”), titled “Love, Death, and Robots.” Netflix made this statement about the series, “Episodes in the series will be about 5-15 minutes each with a crazy variety of animation styles from around the world — everything from 2D to photorealistic 3D CGI. Some are comedies. Some are tragedies. All of them are incredibly demented and definitely unlike most animation out there.” The 18 episode short anthology series will be executive produced by Miller and Fincher. Episodes in the series will be about 5-15 minutes each with a crazy variety of animation styles from around the world — everything from 2D to photorealistic 3D CGI. pic.twitter.com/o7H0wAAEVu — Netflix Geeked (@NetflixGeeked) January 7, 2019

Mind-Blowing Study Showed Victims Of Vesuvius May Have Died More Violently Than Originally Thought.

In 1981 an excavation in the ancient city of Herculaneum’s waterfront uncovered the remains of victims of the Mount Vesuvius eruption in 79AD. The skeletal remains of 55 Roman citizens (30 men, 13 women, 12 children) were located in vacant boathouses on a small beach with a waterway leading out to sea. With the absence of (functional) boats on site led to the theory that this was the site of an evacuation. Originally it’s been accepted that these individuals died from suffocation due to the Pyroclastic flow from Mount Vesuvius, because of the skeletal state of the remains, it made it easier to examine possible causes of death unlike the famous ghostly remains of the victims of the city of Pompeii. A recent study published in the scientific journal PLOS ONE offers a disturbing hypothesis, the 55 victims in the boathouses of Herculaneum’s waterfront died as a result of their blood boiling to the point it made their heads “explode”.

‘Felix The Reaper’ A Rom-Com Musical Game About Death And Love

As the title of this article says, a new video game is coming next year with a twist; a musical romantic comedy about a grim reaper named Felix. “Felix the Reaper” is a puzzle game being independently developed by Danish game developer Kong Orange. Players will take on the role of the titled character, Felix, who works for the Ministry of Death, but alas, Felix is in love with Betty the Maiden who works for the Ministry of Life. Felix hopes to meet Betty while on the job as he works in the human world reaping souls as he groves to the tunes on his walkman. In each level, Felix works in the shadows (as he dances to music) where he can manipulate the surroundings to cause the death of a mortal. Each level is frozen in time allowing players to try to solve the puzzle where once they think they solved it, they can unfreeze time and let fate

‘My Name Is Death’, The Perfect Dark Humor Webtoon

Again on Line Webtoon, I’ve discovered a little gem, a comic by Spanish artist Rumbo (Josué Rumbo) titled My name is Death. The comic follows the grim reaper himself and the shenanigans that arise as he works. Death himself looks a bit different from what we think of him, he’s a little guy with a wicked sense of humor that resembles Deadpool (who makes an appearance in one of the comics.) The comics are a perfect mix of silliness, pop culture references, and at times social commentary. When the series first started the drawings looked different but as the series progresses the drawings become cleaner (thanks to donations from readers) Overall, My name is Death is a funny little comic strip that updates weekly if you like dark humor, sarcasm, and even a little cuteness; this comic is for you! You can read it HERE, you can also check out My name is Death on Facebook and Twitter and you

BABYMETAL Guitarist Passes Away After Accident

It’s being announced today via social media that Japanese guitarist Mikio Fujioka has passed away. On Fujioka’s twitter account his wife made the announcement that he died on January 5th at the age of 36. Fujioka fell from an astronomical observation deck on December 30th while stargazing. His health took a turn for the worse and passed away from his injuries with his two daughters present at the moment of his death. Fujioka published ten guitar textbooks and was a lecturer at a music school in Japan but he’s mostly known from being part of the Kami Band (originally referred to as the Gods of Metal), a group made up of five musicians who are members of other bands or work on solo projects but come together to be the band for Japan’s Kawaii-Metal music group BABYMETAL. Fujioka went by the stage name Ko-Gami (the Small God) because he was the shortest member of the Kami Band at 5’1 (158cm).

Players Facing Death In ‘Visage’

For gamers that like in your face horror games that give you the feeling that you’re living a horror movie experience, SadSquare Studio brings the horror home in ‘Visage’. After a successful Kickstarter campaign, the game will most likely be released in 2018 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and yes, there will be a VR option! The title of the game comes from the old French/Latin word that means a person’s face or facial expression which is fitting since the game’s tagline seems to be, “Each death has its Visage.” ‘Visage’ takes place in the 1980’s in a large house where the player lives. The house over the years has been plagued by violent deaths in nearly every room. Players explore the house to unravel the mysteries it holds by witnessing the deaths of the past while at the same time trying to not attract too much dark energy by being afraid. In some respect the game visually

‘Ghost Ship’ And Dead Crew Wash Ashore

Sky News reported that over the weekend in Japan a derelict wooden vessel washed ashore on Sado-an Island in the Sea of Japan. Japanese Coast Guard and local Police discovered the skeletal remains of eight men on board. Authorities believe the men are North Korean after life-vests with Korean writing where found on board as well. The conclusion that the men were North Korean came due to rising tensions between North Korea and the United States and a famine that’s occurring inside the isolated dystopian country which leads to the conclusion that these eight lost souls were fishermen sailing out in unfamiliar waters in the Sea of Japan to fish, a trend among North Korean Fishermen over the past year. Last week eight fishermen who identified themselves as North Korean were found on board their boat that was drifting in the Sea of Japan, they had experienced a problem with their vessel which resulted in it becoming disabled.

Horror Composer, Daniel Licht Passes Away

The musical vein of the horror world has lost a great composer. Daniel Licht (60) has passed away due to cancer. While Licht is most known for scoring the music for ‘Dexter’, he has been working steadily on film and TV, and video game music scores since the early ‘90s. Growing up in Detroit, Licht first found a love of jazz music and focused a great deal of time on the guitar. He received a composition degree in New Hampshire and travelled around Europe writing music and developing his craft. After moving to L.A., Licht was noticed by Clive Barker (of Hellraiser fame) and the two worked together on a number of projects. Licht was fond of using odd items in his music – especially for ‘Dexter’ – such as surgical tools, saws, bones and whatever else created his unique macabre sound. You will be missed.
