For kickoff time and more information, head on over to Bad Netflix Crew. See you there!
Zombie Ass: Toilet of the Dead
This trailer pretty much has to be seen to be believed…
Fans of J-Horror (and especially fans of J-Gore) will probably notice that this trailer has a lot in common with the trailer for RoboGeisha
It’s got the same narrator and he’s doing the same exact delivery schtick, but the similarities don’t stop there. Both films are from the same director, Noboru Iguchi. And both films share many of the same actors, such as Kentaro Kishi and Asami. All these similarities are giving me the feeling that variety and creativity are running a little low here. So, given the disappointment that RoboGeisha was, what are the chances for Zombie Ass: Toilet of the Dead?
Shit, even if Zombie Ass: Toilet of the Dead is a pile of crap, I’m sure I’ll end up watching it just as soon as I can find it. I have too much love for J-Gore greats like Tokyo Gore Police
The Fumetti Horror Masterpieces of Emanuele Taglietti
Readers of this site might remember when I stumbled across this picture…
…and I justifiably freaked out about it. It is my most favorite fumetti horror cover of all time. I set out on a search to discover the name of the artist, but I came up empty handed. Then a reader told me the painting was from a certain fumetti artist, and after researching that artist, I found information that seemed to indicate that it was true. I found many other paintings that seemed to belong to that artist, and they were also amazing. So I posted them all here on Morbidementia and I sang high praises to the artist, whom I will worship until my dying day.
Unfortunately, it turned out to be a case of mistaken identity. The real name of the artist who painted these beloved masterpieces is Emanuele Taglietti. I only discovered this when the artist himself contacted me to point out the mistake. Emanuele kindly directed me to his Facebook page, and there I not only found proof that what he was saying was true, but I also found a treasure trove of his other fumetti cover paintings, easily some of the best work in the genre! It is probably the best fumetti gallery I have ever seen.
Long story short, I removed the other post from this site since it had misinformation in the form of misattributed artwork. I hope to correct that post and put it back up soon. But for now, I want to repost Emanuele’s artwork and give him proper credit, and I want you to bow and worship at the feet of this fumetti god, and I want you to head on over to his Facebook page and feast your eyes on the best fumetti horror covers this planet has ever seen. And give Emanuele a “Like” while you’re at it, because Facebook doesn’t have a “Love” button! (My, that sounds naughty.)
Here are some of my favorite examples of Emanuele Taglietti’s amazing talents…
He went to Hair Club for Gill-Men to impress her, but she still says she has a headache.
It might be your last palm reading, but it will be your best palm reading.
And you thought YOU had creepy pervy uncles.
The Rosedales – It’s Midnight
Somebody please tell me: why these guys aren’t more famous? The Rosedales have a totally unique sound, like a cross between Misfits and The Beach Boys. I friggin’ love it! Totally unique. Melodic as all hell. Creepy and scary, yet haunting and beautiful.
This song is off their first album, Raise Your Spirits
