Helena Bonham Carter – Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Corpse Bride, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Morbidementia — Sun, 14 Aug 2011 21:17:31 +0000

Alright, I admit I’m probably alone on this one. I know a lot of people who think she’s sorta ugly. But I think Helena Bonham Carter is totally smoking hot. I love her bad. I’ve always been a sucker for brunettes with unique faces, including large foreheads and wide-set eyes. And she’s got it all. Not long ago I finally watched Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, fully expecting it to suck. You know what? It wasn’t bad. Helena helped it out quite a bit, though.

Corpse Bride was a very disappointing movie for me. It seemed like a rip-off of Nightmare Before Christmas, from the fact that the leading lady was a non-living girl to the fact that the leading men’s pet dogs looked almost exactly alike. I could forgive it if it were directed by someone other than Tim Burton. But no, he did a crappy job aping his own movie. And Helena only did voice-overs, we didn’t actually get to see any of her skin. Lame.

Of all three movies I mention here, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is by far my favorite. Helena Bonham Carter is absolutely wicked gorgeous and runs around with her cleavage hanging out for half the movie. Plus you get Johnny Depp turning in a great performance as the bloodthirsty titular character, and there’s tons of blood and murders all around. Jolly good times!

Lesbian Vampire Drama Mystery

Morbidementia — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 23:21:39 +0000

Sometimes you stumble across something so awesome you can’t believe it.

This is one of those somethings.

I love this painting with every ounce of my being. I love it so much it hurts. But I have no idea who painted it. It seems pretty clear its supposed to be the cover of a book, with lots of room at the top for a title and the author’s name, but I have no idea what book its for. I know nothing about this except that I MUST know more.

If you have any information, please leave a comment or email me (morbidementia(at)gmail(dot)com).

Can anybody help me solve the mystery of the lesbian vampire drama painting?

****** UPDATE! 6/24/2011 ******

Deborah Ann Woll as True Blood’s “Jessica Hamby”

Morbidementia — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 18:46:01 +0000

I’m getting really excited for True Blood to start up again at the end of the month (the 4th season starts on June 26th), so I thought I’d post some sexy pics of one of my absolute favorite True Blood babes: Jessica Hamby (as played by Deborah Ann Woll).

We were introduced to Jessica as a bawling, sniveling teenage human girl who had been captured by vampires in order to punish Bill Compton. It seemed like she was dead meat, a disposable character who would meet a quick and unfortunate end. And that’s exactly what was originally supposed to happen! But Deborah impressed the folks on the show so much with her performance that they decided to keep her on full time, and now Jessica Hamby is a recurring character on the show.

Fun fact: Jessica is what’s known as an “eternal virgin”, meaning that she was virgin at the time she was changed into a vampire. Because of the healing powers she now possesses, her hymen heals after each time she has sex. If you don’t know what that means, go ask your mom. All in all it makes her boyfriend, Hoyt Fortenberry, one very lucky guy.

Thora Birch – The Hole, Dark Corners, Train, Deadline

Morbidementia — Sat, 30 Apr 2011 03:21:33 +0000

Fun fact: Thora Birch starred in her first nude movie role when she was still jailbait. She was only 17 when she went topless in American Beauty. Turns out its legal for the underage to appear nude in California “so long as the Child Labor Board approves”. Geez, and I thought I was a pervert.

Another fun fact about Thora Birch is that both her parents are porn stars. Thora Birch’s mother played the nurse in the porn classic Deep Throat, and both her parents co-starred in the sex western Bad Girl of the West and the tasty Candy Goes to Hollywood.

Sadly, Thora doesn’t seem as interested in starring in porn as she does in horror. She was in the British horror movie The Hole alongside the lovely Keira Knightley. In Dark Corners she played a girl who awoke one day to be chased by monstrous creatures. And in the Hostel-ish Train she portrayed the final girl chased by a train full of brutal organ harvesters. In her most recent horror movie, the ghost story Deadline, she starred alongside the late Brittany Murphy. So here’s hoping Thora Birch will keep making horror movies, and think real hard about following her parents footsteps in porn. (Hey, don’t look at me like that. She’s legal now.)

Valentina Vargas as Hellraiser’s Cenobite “Angelique”

Morbidementia — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 13:12:47 +0000

The hottest female Cenobite from the Hellraiser movies is undoubtedly “Angelique”, played by the lovely Valentina Vargas (whose name is actually an anagram for “Real ‘n’ Vast Vagina”). While most Cenobites either have their origin stories merely hinted at or don’t get an origin story at all, we actually get to witness Angelique’s entire transformation from normal human to hellish Cenobite. Her tragic story is told in Hellraiser: Bloodline.

When we are introduced to her, she is but a lowly peasant girl… we don’t even learn her name. Unfortunately the girl is foolish enough to fall into evil hands, and she is murdered by two evil gentlemen who have a nefarious plan in mind. The men remove her corpse’s skin and use the infamous puzzle box known as the Lament Configuration to summon a demon named Angelique to possess and fill the girl’s skin and bring it to life. The trapped demon girl is then theirs to command, with the only stipulation of the sorcery being that the men never try to stand in Hell’s way. Sounds easy enough, right?

As luck would have it, the men immediately try to stand in Hell’s way by attempting to prevent Angelique from doing whatever the hell she damn well wants to do, and she promptly kills the men. (Apparently these men were as unfamiliar with women as they were with making deals with the Devil.) Now a free agent, Angelique seduces some poor schmuck into solving the Lament Configuration for her, and of course Pinhead is summoned and kills him for his trouble. Pinhead then “rewards” Angelique by transforming her into a Cenobite whose scalp has been split and peeled in half and pinned to her shoulders, and she becomes Pinhead’s second in command for the rest of the movie. I’d say they make a cute couple, but “cute” isn’t quite the right word.

Charisma Carpenter – Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Charmed

Morbidementia — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 23:29:01 +0000

Charisma Carpenter had already starred in several TV roles before she came to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but since I don’t watch crap like Baywatch and Malibu Shores, I first became familiar with her as Cordelia Chase, Buffy’s super-hot stuck-up and smart-ass high school frienemy.

Cordelia left Buffy’s show to go to Angel‘s show, where Charisma was allowed a lot more screen time. I’ll be honest, she was the only reason I watched Angel, at least in the beginning. She’s total eye candy and my eyes have a sweet tooth.

After Angel, Charisma starred on Charmed, my favorite show to watch with the volume muted. This show was a natural choice for her given her track record and the fact that she’s easily pretty enough to hold her own against heavyweight hotties like Rose McGowan, Alyssa Milano, and Holly Marie Combs. If these here pictures ain’t nude enough for you, Charisma did a spread in Playboy, check it out.

Katee Sackhoff – Halloween: Resurrection, The Haunting in Georgia, Growl

Morbidementia — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 03:07:13 +0000

I first noticed how awesome Katee Sackhoff was when I saw her play Starbuck on the Battlestar Galactica remake. She frickin’ owned it! By the end I was hopelessly in love with her. I did a little research into her, and realized that she was in a movie I had seen years before I knew who she was: Halloween: Resurrection. So I went back and watched Resurrection again. Katee doesn’t have a lot of screen time, and its definitely not the best Halloween move ever. But hey, at least its not Halloween III: Season of the Witch.

I’ve wanted to post some sexy pics of Katee for a long time since I’m so obsessed with her, but even though Battlestar Galactica was totally awesome, its not really horror, and Halloween: Resurrection alone isn’t really enough to call Katee a horror babe. BUT… I just caught wind that Katee is going to be in two upcoming horror movies, back to back! So now she definitely has earned horror babe status, and I can finally post pics of her and drool over them. The first Katee horror movie will be The Haunting in Georgia, and hopefully it won’t just be a lame attempt to jump on the exorcism bandwagon. But even if it is, hey, Katee will be in it.

The second of the two upcoming Katee Sackhoff horror movies has me totally stoked! Its called Growl, and it sounds like Fight Club meets The Howling. Check out the synopsis:

A traveling underground fight club called ‘The Brawlers’ arrive at a derelict ghost town tucked away in the Colorado Rockies. They meet the town’s only residents, the Maxilla family who want to buy on to the fight card. But the Maxilla family’s true intentions for the Brawler crew is soon revealed in teeth and claws. Some will be hunted, some will be feed, and some will become part of the family…whether they like it or not.

WHAT WHAT WHAT?!?! That sounds totally fuckin’ crazy! My first love is Katee and my second love is werewolves, so this is pretty much going to be the meaning of life for me. Wait, ok, calm down, I can’t too excited for this, or else is SURE to be a let-down. Come back down to earth, Larry. Easy, boy, easy. Whew.

Devon Aoki – Sin City, Mutant Chronicles, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Undead

Morbidementia — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 00:07:12 +0000

Even though she’d already been modeling for years, Devon Aoki first came to my attention when she starred as the silent and deadly ninja assassin babe Miho in Sin City. I was instantly infatuated with Devon’s unique and otherworldly beauty. She is one of my favorite parts of one of my favorite movies ever.

I’m glad I had low hopes for Mutant Chronicles, because it really didn’t turn out too good. But on the plus side, it did have Devon starring in another action role, and even though she’s so small and cute and thin, she sure can pull off being a total bad ass.

Devon also stars in Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Undead, which I haven’t seen yet, but its in my Netflix queue. According to this movie, not only did Shakespeare suck because he was a horrible writer, but he also sucked blood because he was a goddamn vampire. Or something like that – I’m trying to stay ignorant about it so I don’t run into any spoilers before I watch it. But I always thought Shakespeare sucked.

Ali Larter – House on Haunted Hill, Final Destination, Resident Evil: Extinction

Morbidementia — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 01:19:44 +0000

House on Haunted Hill has a pretty eclectic cast. First off, we got Geoffrey Rush, one of the best actors on the planet, and you gotta wonder if they blackmailed him or kidnapped his family or what the hell they did to make him star in it. At the other end of the acting spectrum, we got Chris Kattan, a freaky little guy who was silly on Saturday Night Live and even sillier in everything else he starred in. Sure, horror super pimp Jeffrey Combs is in it, but then again so is Taye Diggs (where is he now?). James Marsters is there! But then again, so is Lisa Loeb (weird, huh?). Its such a strange cast, its just all over the map. But there are two roles that make perfect sense, they are both genre actresses and they are both totally easy on the eyes: Famke Janssen and Ali Larter.

Ali Larter kicked so much butt in Final Destination that they asked her back for Final Destination 2. But then Final Destination 2 kicked her butt. And what a butt it is…

Ali switched from kicking Death’s ass in Final Destination to kicking undead ass when she starred in Resident Evil: Extinction. Then she pulled another one-two punch when she came back to star in Resident Evil: Afterlife. Its like whoever she works for falls in love with her and absolutely MUST have her back in their next movie. Can’t blame them…

Jennifer Connelly – Dark Water, Requiem for a Dream, Phenomena (Creepers)

Morbidementia — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 23:02:39 +0000

This awesome see-through wet t-shirt and wet panties photo of Jennifer Connelly reminds me of Dark Water, a horror movie that she starred in opposite of some evil water. Throughout her career, Jennifer has proved that posing for sexy pictures and doing nude scenes does NOT make one less of an actress. In fact, the dedication to go all the way and do whatever is necessary actually makes one MORE of an actress. Hear that, ladies?

Requiem for a Dream caused quite a controversy when it came out, mostly due to a scene near the end involving Jennifer Connelly and another girl having lesbian backdoor sex with a double-donged dildo in front of a group of rowdy onlookers who shower them with dollar bills while they hump away. While that may sound unnecessarily explicit and exploitative, its actually a very powerful and weighty scene that illustrates the devastation that drugs can wreak on lives. And, um, its super hot.

(I apologize profusely for Nick Nolte being in these pictures. There was nothing I could do.) One of my favorite Jennifer Connelly movies has got to be Dario Argento’s criminally under-appreciated Phenomena (Creepers) in which she starred as a girl who communicated with insects. She was only 15 years at the time, so don’t expect her to do any nude scenes. But DO expect the most awesome horror movie ever to star a piranha boy, a trained chimpanzee AND Donald Pleasence!
