It's all about survival bitches by Sasha Slaughter

Hey hey hey, Sasha Slaughter here! How about ya'll sit back and relax while I blow your minds with my review of episode 1 of The Masters of Horror: Incident on and off a mountain road.

Incident came out in 2005 and was written and directed by Don Coscarelli (Phantasm anyone??). It was adapted from a short story by cult horror writer Joe R. Landsdale. The movie is about Ellen (played by Bree Turner) who is forced to use the survival skills her husband Bruce (played by Ethan Embry) forced her to learn when her car goes off the road and is being chased by Moonface (played by John De Santis). She first encounters Moonface while she is following a blood trail that leads to the edge of the road and down a hill. There she sees Moonface dragging a woman up over the hill, he sees Ellen and starts to chase after her.

Throughout the movie Ellen has flashbacks of the things that Bruce taught her, which helps her always stay a step ahead of Moonface. She uses two sticks and a pair of scissors as a weapon to slow Moonface down. As she tries to get away, the flashbacks become more frequent, as she remembers the way her husband treated her and the things her forced her to do, causing her to try like hell to get away alive. After awhile Moonface realizes that Ellen is setting up traps and is intrigued by her. After her realizes what she's doing, he decides not to kill her, but he decides to take her to his basement and keep her.

She wakes up and his handcuffed to a pole in his basement. Thats where she meets the creepy old guy named Buddy (played by Angus Scrimm). While talking to the creepy old guy(I like candy, do you have candy??) Ellen learns that Moonface removes the eyes of all of his victims, but is told that she's lucky because Moonface hadn't done that to her. Just then, Moonface comes into the basement and puts a woman on the table and begins to take out her eyes with a machine and then ties her to a cross and takes her upstairs. Ellen freaks out and tries to think of away to escape when Buddy (I like songs! Do you want to sing a song??) hints that a way out might be over her shoulder, referring to the nail file stuck in her shoulder from a trap that hit her.

She picks the lock of the handcuffs but the creepy old guy gets out of his wheelchair and starts screaming that Ellen is loose, and Moonface comes down the steps. She knocks out moonface and creepy old guy but Moonface gets up and tries to choke her but she stabs him with her nail file. He runs after her and she stabs him in the chest with his knife and kicks him out the window. He's hanging out the window and is dangling over a waterfall when the curtain he's hanging onto rips and he falls into the water. She gets out of the house and walks back to her and opens the trunk of her car, where her dead husband is laying (Crazy bitch!). She starts having flashbacks of the night she told him she was leaving him. He started hitting her and threw her into the wall and then raped her.

When he was done raping her she took the belt that he tied her hands together with and wrapped it around her wrists and strangled him with it. She snaps back to reality and drags her husbands lifeless body back to Moonfaces house and places him on the table and proceeds to use the machine to take out his eyes. Before leaving the house she shoots Buddy in the head and then takes the body of Bruce and puts it with the rest of the bodies in the yard and then drives away.

WOW right??? When I watched this I definitley did not expect that ending! It was pretty good for only being an hour long. The acting was good and Moonface was uber creepy! There was an ok amount of blood and no nudity, but this movie definitley didn't need that to be good. The plot was also good too. Overall I'd give this a 3.5 out of 5. I was impressed with it for sure. Don't forget to read Zombie Zanes articles and you know what I'll say next, check back next week, we definitley appreciate you stopping by!

PUT THAT IN YO SLIT BITCH!! By: Zombie Zane

AWWWW YEAAAAAH!! Zombie Zane back with you once again doing what I do from the seven six one oh seven. Hey, I liked that opening! Anyway, thanks for stopping by and checking out Dead End Horror, really appreciate it. So this week was kinda a mixed bag here at DEH, Sasha wrote an article about the black eyed children, and she’s also reviewing episode one of the Masters of Horror series so go by and check out her stuff. Me? Well, in this here article I’m a-gonna be talking to you about this movie I watched this past week. Ever seen the film ‘THE SLIT MOUTHED WOMAN?’ Is that a no? No problem. Take a sec and let me tell you about it.

"THE SLIT MOUTHED WOMAN" is a 2005 Asian-Invasion horror film directed by Takaaki Haschiguchi and produced by Mr. Myagi. (JK on the Myagi) It runs just over 60mins and is available now on Netflix instant watch. Now that you know some of the particulars, wanna hear about the plot?

Ok, so basically this film is kinda like a Grudge/Ring kinda deal. What I mean by that is it’s one of those angry ghost seeks revenge movies. Now don’t shit on it just yet. I know that plot line has been done ad nauseum, but give it shot. And yes, it’s also subtitled so ya gotta read. Again, don’t shit on it just yet. It’s not that bad a movie. The slit mouthed woman is uber creepy and there is a ton of fucking going on through out the film. And when I say plenty, I mean plenty. Almost too much. WHAT!! I know, how can there be too much fucking....My only complaint was that there was more ‘gettin it’ than actual horror. But it wasn’t gratuitous. All that Asian loving was relevant to the plot. I mean this movie started with a bang and ended with a bang. Literally. So if you like the whole angry ghost revenge thing, then give this one a look. Let me clarify something right fast however. There are two (two that I know of films) with this title. One is called, "CARVED: THE LEGEND OF THE SLIT MOUTHED WOMAN." That film is from 2007, this one that I’m tellin you about is from ‘05 and it’s a bit shorter. Just a quick side note in case you get cornfused. (And yes, I can spell confused. That was not a typo.) So let me break this down a little more for ya:

BODY COUNT: 1 just one here, but it’s implied that there’s more. But one was all I saw...

SEVERINGS : Nothing getting whacked here, a big fat 0.

SEX SCENES : 5!! A total of 5 fuck scenes. And they look pretty real too...

NUDITY NUMBER : 2 out of 5. Boobs, boobs and more boobs.

GORE SCORE: 0 Nada in the way of blood and guts. Kinda disappointing.

MY SCORE: 2 out of 5. Not quite middle of the road for me but still not a total waste. Points off for more sex than horror and points off ‘cause there was not gore and guts.
Well, there ya go. My take on "THE SLIT MOUTHED WOMAN." That’s all there is and there ain’t no more. Until next time, take care, stay a-scared and I am out.
　

Black eyed creepers!! by Sasha Slaughter

This week at Dead End Horror it's gonna be a bit of a mixed bag (As Zane calls it). We'll be talking black eyed children, a review of Masters of Horror episode one ( Incident On and Off a Mountain road), Zombie Zanes top summer themed movies, and his review of The Slit Mouthed Woman. Sit back, relax, && get scared =)

Let me tell you a little about the Black Eyed Kids (or B.E.K. for short). The B.E.K. phenomema supposedly started in 1998 when Brian Bethel, a jouarnalist from Abilene, Texas reportedly saw two children with black eyes around the age of 10-14 approach his car. He was writing a check when they knocked on his window and asked if he could take them home because they forgot their money to go to the movies. Immediately Bethal felt and overwhelming sense of fear and uneasiness.

Bethel also wrote that they looked normal and were dressed almost identical in hoodies and pants. Boy 1, as Bethel called him, was the leader of the two. He did all of the talking while Boy 2 looked around nervously and never spoke. Boy 1 repeatedly asked for Bethel to unlock the car doors and let them in. He said the boys diction and tone of voice sounded more like a young adult rather than a child, which frightened him. Boy 1 continued trying to coax him into unlocking the doors, and at one point Bethel found himself reaching to unlock the doors before quickly stopping himself. It wasn't until after he really got a good look at the two did he discover that both boys had completely black eyes. No iris, no pupils. Nothing at all, just pure black. It was then that Bethel realized that boy 2 was getting nervous and uneasy, possibly realizing that Bethel knew what was happening.

Boy 1 pleaded with Bethel saying: "WE CAN'T COME IN UNLESS YOU TELL US IT'S OKAY. LET ... US .... IN!" his voice full of anger and panic. Bethel quickly put the car and reverse and sped out of the parking lot, looking in his rearview mirror, but seeing nothing where the boys were standing. He posted the story of his encounter online, you can read it here (http://forum.prisonplanet.com/index.php?topic=154527.0)

Most accounts of B.E.K. are said to happen at peoples homes. There is a knock on the door and on the other side, a kid aged anywhere from 12-17 waiting patiently for you to answer. They have been said to dress in old fashioned clothes and also newer, more modern clothing. Some report a foul smelling odor emitting from the B.E.K. also. People have said that when they see the B.E.K. they sense an overwhelming feeling of dread, fear, and wrongess. The B.E.K. always ask to be invited inside claiming they are lost or are having car trouble. There are no credible accounts of anyone actually letting them in their home, due to the fear one feels while in their presence. Turning the B.E.Ks away almost always infuriates them and they appear to be more impatient and demand that you let them in. It is said that the B.E.Ks wont ever actually leave until the person they approach has closed the door or left the scene of the encounter.

More recently in 2009, a Marine stationed at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina reportedly had an encounter with the B.E.K. The Marine was hanging out in the barracks while most of the other Marines were at home or out drinking when he heard a knock at his door. At first he thought it was his roommate, but when he opened the door he found two children standing in the hallway. Immediately upon looking at the children, the Marine instantly felt the need to shut and lock the door. He noticed that the children had pitch black eyes and felt like they were sucking him in, trying to make him do what they asked of him. He instantly felt frightened for his life, and as soon as one of the children stepped towards him, panic took over and he shut and locked the door as fast as he could. He heard heard constant knocking on his door for the next 5 mintues, and then knocking on his window, and then it abruptly stopped. You can read his story here (http://www.ghosttheory.com/2010/03/15/the-strange-creepy-phenomena-black-eyed-kids).

There are very few reports of B.E.K. and they have only just surfaced in the last ten years. Some believe that the B.E.K. phenomenon is just an Urban Legend. Some imply that the B.E.K. could be ghosts or demons, more specifially vampires because the tales frequently emphasize the fact that the children must be admitted or invited into a home or vehicle, which is reminiscent of vampire legends. Evidence also suggests that B.E.K. are a human/alien hybrids, though nothing exists to support the claim.

So there you have it, a little info on the black eyed children. I'll admit, I'm a bit skeptical about the existence of B.E.K. It has all of the signs of an Urban Legend, but maybe I'm wrong. Maybe for saying that I just might encounter the B.E.K....Yikes! Scared??? Maybe you should be. If any of you ever happen to run into these mysterious black eyed children, tread carefully and whatever you do, don't let them in. Your life may depend on it.

Don't forget to check out Zanes top summer themed horror movies and his review of  The Slit Mouthed Woman, and of course, ALWAYS check back next week for new stuff!!

SEVEN NIGHTS OF HOTTER THAN HELL HORROR by: Zombie Zane

HOT HOT AND MORE HOT! Zombie Zane here with you again coming live and direct from the glass furnace otherwise known as the motherfuckin’ seven six one oh seven. Seeing how summertime is upon us, I had a great idea for this week’s shit. What I’m gonna do is give you guys a list of seven horror films that have a heat/summer related theme. Why seven? Well, I just thought it’d be cool to give you a movie a night to watch. There are seven days in the week hence, seven movies. One a night. Neato mosquito! Ok, enough of this foreplay, let’s get to my horror-a-thon, yes?

ZOMBIE ZANE’S SEVEN NIGHTS OF HOT HORROR

For night numero-uno how about the film, "STAND BY ME." It’s a 1986 horror film adapted from Mr. Horror himself the great Stephen King. Not really a horror film, but it kicks ass and it’s my list and my rules. How could you not like Lard Ass? LARD ASS! LARD ASS! LARD ASS! The vomit scene is a classic! And the leeches on that kid’s ball sac is also a memorable scene. This film gets a solid 4.5 out of 5.

On night number two of this hotter than hell horrorfest, I highly recommend the film "LAKE PLACID." Nothing better than a huge croc running around eating people. And ya got sweet Betty White cussing out deputies. Not sure if this movie takes place in the summertime but it’s setting is by a lake (hence the title) so fuck yeah it makes the list. I mean isn’t the lake a popular summertime hangout? Anyway, this film is full of great one liners, good gory stuff and it’s just a downright fun watch. A solid 4 out of 5 on the Zombie scale.

This wouldn’t be a good list if I didn’t include this film for night number three so here goes. "FRIDAY THE 13^th." (1980) A classic summertime slasher flick. Nothing says summer like a trip out to Camp Crystal Lake, right? Written by Victor Miller and directed by Sean S. Cunningham, this film went on to spawn a dynasty and become one of the most profitable slasher films of all time. A 3 out of 5 for me.

Wanna go camping? Not me. Not after seeing the fourth movie of the week. I like my asshole just the way it is. Night number four, I give you "DELIVERANCE." ...."BEND OVER AND SQUEAL LIKE A PIG FOR ME!!" ..."YOU GOT PURTTY LIPS!!" This 1972 film is about four businessmen who decide to canoe down this river in the Georgia wilderness and come across some pretty fucked up inbreeds. As you can tell from the opening of this paragraph, some ass raping occurs and well...you just gotta see it. This film is a 3.5 out of 5 for me.

We’re now at film number five of Zombie Zane’s Seven Nights of Hot Horror and this film oozes heat! 1996's FROM DUSK TILL DAWN. Robert Rodriguez directed, Zombie Zane approved. What’s not hot about Salma Hayek table dancing with a huge snake? And for you ladies out there, ya get some George Clooney. A great film all the way around! After all it was written by Quentin Tarantino. One of the coolest vampire movies ever, this film gets a perfect 5.

Almost done. This next film, movie number six is an old school classic. And when I say old school, I mean like 1950's old school. Hey now, no bitching. Older is sometimes cooler. THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON (1954) This is one of the classic horror films from Universal (Studios) and was one of the first, if not the first film to be done in 3D. If you haven’t seen it, then check it out. It’s dated but it has nostalgia attached to it and it does star the lovely Julia Adams. So peep it out and think about a time long gone. This monster movie gets a 3 out of 5 for me.

So if you’re still reading this, we are now at film number seven. The last film on the list is the 1995 horror film, "ICE CREAM MAN." Written and directed by Paul Norman (who, btw, directs porns! So cool points there) Maybe not a well known film, but it does have quite a cult following and it has some pretty cool parts so it makes the cut. I give this slasher film a 2.5 out of 5. Middle of the road but if you haven’t seen it, it’s worth it.

Well, there it is. Zombie Zane’s Seven Nights of Hot Horror. Be sure and check out Sasha’s stuff, she’s got a review of episode one of the Masters of Horror series, and an article about the black eyed children phenomenon. It’s all good stuff so read it. Until next time, take care, stay a-scared and I am out.
