Welcome to this Week’s Installment of Short Horror Film Friday Featuring the 2013 Canadian Film PEEPHOLE (2013) Directed and Written by Doug Cook. PEEPHOLE was shown at the Oregon Short Film Festival Film Festival where it Won the Category for the “Best Short Horror Film”, and was an Official Selection for the Short Film Catagory at the Toronto After Dark Film Festival.
Plot:
A Creepy Voyeuristic Motel manager Secretly Films His guests through a Peephole in the Wall of Suite 12. On one Particular Night, He gets in over His head when he Witnesses something Truly Sinister on the Other Side. Will the Motel Manager be able to make it through the Night and Survive His Terrifying Ordeal or is His Fate Already Sealed???
Hello it is I Otto and I have been given the task of this week’s installment of Short Horror Film Friday. For this week’s selection after much deliberation I chose TEA TIME (2007) Directed by Erik Deutschman. Tea Time was filmed on a single Super-8 cartridge, edited in camera, shot in sequence, and with only a single take per shot. The Film was originally made for an Los Angeles film event called: “Attack of the 50 Foot Reels”.
The deciding factor for My selection was I feel Tea Time a true 50/50 representation of the two separate schools of horror that Les and Justine subscribe to. Les is definitely from the psychological school of horror welcoming the devils and demons into his head to rape his mind with madness. Justin on the other hand favors more violent, blood soaked, gore driven splatter films from the school of more visceral horror. Thus Considering Tea Time has elements of both Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho, and Stephen King’s The Shinning (not to mention the soundtrack that continues to eerily distort as the film plays out) made it the perfect selection for this week.
Synopsis:
On a quiet sunny day an elderly woman prepares some afternoon tea for her and her husband, but things are far grimmer than they appear.
Welcome to yet Another Installment of Strange and Disturbing Videos featuring 00390 One of Youtube’s Darkest Mysteries. So without Further Ado let’s Jump on Down this Rabbit Hole Hand in Hand.
00390 Rumors, Hypotheses, and Outstanding Questions:
00390 First Surfaced Online in November 2015, and is Still Currently Active.
After Six Years 00390 has Posted Over 100+ Videos
After Posting a String of Videos Viewers found Creepy and Disturbing.
Viewers Began to Speculate and Many came to Believe 00390’s Youtube Channel was in Fact being Run by a Stalker and Likely a Kidnapper.
As More Videos were Posted Viewers started to Believe 00390 wasn’t just into Stalking and Abductions. They began to hypothesis that 00390 was Actually a Real Life Serial Killer, but it Doesn’t End There.
One Strange Factor stood Out as Particularly Weird and that was the Handful of Video’s Sprinkled in with the Grimmer/Disturbing Content. These Video’s were of Food being Cooked.
All the Food Videos had Meat as it’s Primary Ingredient.
The Food Videos started the Rumor that 00390 was Not just a Serial Killer but a Cannibal as Well.
The Cannibal Rumor was indeed Confirmed by 00390 in the Comments Section of the Video Doll House Working Test-Cooking Some Meat.
In the Doll House Video’s comment Section which Reads like a Recipy Under the Ingredient Referred to Simply as Meat 00390 States “For Meat: You Need a Girl.”
Due to Various Videos by 00390 like Exploring Summer Night Streets-Hookers that 00390 is Based Out of Europe. Also a Phrase that Appears on Screen at one Point in the Video in Italian and Translates into “Too Fat”.
While 00390’s Average Views Per Video is Around 2,000, but Exploring Summer Nights-Hookers has Racked Up a Whopping 1.7 Million Views. The Reason(s) for this Massively Drastic Difference in the Number of Views is Currently Unknown.
In Addition to the Already Addressed Information when You go to 00390’s About Page (the Cryptic and Antisocial Description) Appears First in English and then in Italian. Thus it’s Pretty Safe to Say 00390 calls Italy Home.
00390’s About Page Verbatim:
“Do not subscribe, you bother me.
Non iscrivetevi, mi date fastidio.
Do not offer me money for affiliation or visualization or other, I’am not interested. At best offer me some typical food of your country.
Non offritemi soldi per affilizazioni o visualizzazioni dei video, non mi interessa. Al massimo offritemi qalche cibo tipico del vostro paese. Mi piacciono le ragazze fredde (ma vive).”
(Note to Reader: Based on the Cannibal Concept behind 00390 does “At best offer me some typical food of your country” mean Send Female Human Flesh from Your Home Country.)
Now while You could if You wanted to go Check out the 100+ Videos by 00390, but I’ve searched through 00390’s Video Catalog. I ended up Selecting 10 of the Darkest/Creepiest Videos that Showcase the Aspects of 00390’s Videos mentioned above. Here is a List (Along with any Notes and Observations of Ours) of the Ten Video 00390 Sampling in the Order They Appear in:
Pet Monster Forgotten Video: Who are These People Singing? Why are there Several Photos of Women Restrained and Gaged with Hearts Around Them?
Exploring Summer Night Streets-Hookers: This is the Video that has racked up 1.7 Million Views as Opposed to the Average 2,000 per 00390 Video)
Dressed Girl in the Bath Scared Screams: Is This a Possibly a Abducted Victim?
Audi/Video Torture for Kidnapped Girl [Explicit and a Little Flashing]
Old Footage-How to find a Girl: How to Find a Girl? How to Find/Stalk a Victim)
How to Transport a Semi Unconscious Girl: Is This Staged? We don’t think so considering it be hard to go completely Limp like the Girl in the Video. Also at a couple of Points You can see Her feet moving Under Her own Power (Hence the Semi Conscious Part of the Title I Suppose.)
From the Bar to the Basement-Lesson: This Video is a Distorted/Manipulated of the 2006 Comedy Movie School For Scoundrels staring Billy Bob Thornton .
Girl Talk Too Much: This is Obviously Fake as Fuck. The Tongue in the Video is an Animal Tongue is more than likely a Cow’s. If You look at it for more than a Moment You can see there is Absolutely No fucking Way on Earth that the Tongue would fit in a Human Mouth.
Test_Sony a5100 Less Light: Is this Footage of a Captive Victim?
Doll HouseStove- Working Test- Cooking Some Meat: The Glaring Question is Based on the Cannibalism Angle is this the Meat in the Video Actually Human Flesh?
Enjoy.
In Summation:
Well in Conclusion We believe these Videos are Strange, Disturbing, and Ultimately Fake. 00390’s Videos also Don’t appear to be Promotions for a Video Game or Movie since the Videos have been Posted over 6 Plus years. So Unless this is an “Axl Rose – Chinese Democracy” Situation the Promotion Angle makes No Sense. A Possibly Viable Reason for 00390’s Videos could be that this is Art Student or Visual Artist’s on Going Art Project. Though I think there’s a Bit more to It. As Far as this being an ARG it Very Well could be it, but I am Not 100% Convinced this is the Case.
I think this is simply Someone Who wants/likes People Thinking/Believing that They’re some Insanely Psychotic Serial Killer and Crazed Cannibal straight out of a B-Horror Movie. The Point is I think 00390 is creating and Posting these Videos because He/She/They get a Kick Out of It. Sometimes the Simplest Solution is Sufficient as Face Value has its Own Worth.
Welcome to this Weeks addition of Short Horror Film Friday. This Week We are Thrilled to Present and the Two In One Animated Feature THE UMBRELLA FACTORY and JACK THE RIPPER! Both Stories in the Video were Directed by Nick and Lexie Trivundza, Written by Nick Trivundza, and Produced by Lexie Trivundza.
The Umbrella Factory: Is Based on the Horror Short Story The Monkey’s Paw by W.W. Jacobs, and is a Cautionary Tale Warning People to be Careful what You Wish (for Because You Might Just Get It).
Jack The Ripper: Is a Modern Day Homage to the Historical Murders of The Legendary Serial Killer Known as Jack The Ripper.
Enjoy.
We Hope You Enjoyed these Tales of Bloody Terror as Much as We Did.
First and Foremost this is NOT a Chronicling of Jim Jones or Jonestown. This Post serves as a Focus on just One of the Multitude of Facts, People, and Events surrounding Jonestown Massacre. If You’re Curious to Know/Learn more on the Subject We suggest Hitting up Ye Old Google for all the Gritty Details.
Here is the Most Basic of Backstories:
Jim Jones started a Cult in America called The People’s Temple that promoted Global Peace and Unity among all of Humanity. To Escape the Probing Eye of the American Government, Concerned Family Members Outside of the Cult, and Other Various Detractors Jones moved the Cult to Guyana (a Country on South America’s North Atlantic Coast). Once in Guyana Jones and His Followers commenced Building Jonestown which would be a Earthly Utopia Free from the Malevolent Evils of the War. Just like Drugs Jonestown was a Beautiful Place to Live and All was right with the World. As time passed things in Jonestown took a Dark and Ultimately Deadly Turn.
As Time Passed the Cults Detractors stayed Diligent in Their Attempt to either Rescue Members of the Cult and take them to Safety or to Shut Down Jonestown and take Jones into Police Custody. A Group consisting of Concerned Family of Cult Members, Cult Defectors, and Congressman Ryan Lee calling Themselves ‘Concerned Relatives” started Petitioning Politicians and Actively Engaging the Press for Help and Assistance in Their Mission. Finally the Group flew to Guyana to Visit Jonestown in Person to asses the Allegations of Sub Standard Living Conditions, Mental and Physical Abuse of Cult Members, and Accusations of Human Rights Violations by Reverend James Warren Jones.
The Trip was Tense and Ended with Jones Men Ambushing Ryan, the “Concerned Relatives”, and More Defectors from The People’s Temple at an Airstrip Killing Ryan along with NBC Cameraman Bob Brown, Temple Defector Patrica Parks, and Examiner Photographer Greg Robinson. In Addition to the Four Murders Nine other Members of the Group were Injured. The Attack would End Up being the Final Nail in the Jonestown Coffin.
THE DEATH TAPE: Is a 44 Minute Cassette Tape known as the “Death Tape”. It’s a Recording made on November 18, 1978, at The People’s Temple Compound in Jonestown, Guyana, Immediately Preceding and During the Mass Suicide or Murder of The People’s Temple Followers. When it was All Said and Done 918 Cult Members Men, Women, and Children Died either by by Poisoning or Gunshot. On the Tape You Hear Jones urge Cult Members to Commit what He refers to as Revolutionary Suicide:
“You can Go Down in History Saying You Chose Your Own Way to Go, and it’s Your Commitment to Refuse Capitalism and in Support of Socialism.”
The Poison was the Primary Method used in the Mass Suicide served to the Cult Members in a Flavored Beverage. The Beverage was Laced with Potassium Cyanide. The People’s Temple received 1/2 Pound Shipments of Cyanide every Month since 1976 when Jones acquired a Jeweler’s License (Cyanide is Reportedly cleans Gold). The Crowd was Surrounded by Armed Guards, Offering the Cult Members the Basic Dilemma of Dying by Poison or being Shot by the Guards. As it were Not All Cult Members Drank the Poison willingly as Some were Forced to Drink it at Gun Point, and Some Unknowingly such as the Children. The Poison took Five Minutes to Kill the Children, Less than Five Minutes for Babies, and Twenty to Thirty Minutes for Adults. As for Jones Himself He committed Suicide via a Gunshot to His Right Temple.
Escaped People’s Temple member Odell Rhodes was there that Fateful Day Described the Scene of Both Hysteria and Confusion as Parents watched Their Children Die from the Poison (Jones says on the Tape “Don’t let Your Children Know They are Dying”). Rhodes also Stated the most Present Cult Members “Quietly waited Their Own Turn to Die.” and that many of the Cult Members “Walked Around like They were in a Trance.”
Reasons For Jones Ordering the Mass Suicide:
Jones’s Mental Health was Declining.
Jones was becoming increasing Paranoid about the American Government (as well as Others) Conspiring /Plotting on How to Personally Destroy Him.
Jones had become Convinced the CIA and Other Government Intelligence Agencies were Conspiring with “Capitalist Pigs” to Destroy Jonestown and Harm Him and His Followers.
Jones was supposedly Suffering from Insomnia sometimes going Three to Four Days without Sleeping.
Jones Believed All Was Lost as His Mission to Build a Perfect Society Free from all Negativity was an Utter Failure.
Jones had just Ordered the Deadly Attack on Congressman Ryan and His Delegates earlier that Day leaving Several Dead and Injured. He Knew Retaliation for the Murders was be Inevitable since Sooner or Later someone would come Looking for Ryan and the Others.
Jones believed that the Children of Jonestown were going to be Captured by The American Government, and Extradited back to America where They would be Turned into Fascists.
Jones was at this Point was a Full Blown Drug Addict addicted to Injectable Valium, Quaaludes, Stimulants, and Barbiturates (Any Class of Sedative or Sleep Inducing Drug).
In Response to Seeing the Poison Take Effect Jones Counseled His Members Saying:
“Die with a Degree of Dignity; Don’t Lay Down with Tears and Agony.”
(Note: The Cries and Screams of Children and Adults are easily heard on the Tape Recording.)
And
“I Tell You, I Don’t Care how many Screams You Hear I Don’t Care how many Anguished Cries…Death is a Million times Preferable to Ten More Days of This Life. If You Knew what was ahead of You- If You Knew what was ahead of You, You’d be Glad to be Stepping Over Tonight.”
Welcome to this Week’s Installment of Saturday Slasher Cinema Featuring the 2016 American Slasher Film TERRIFIFER Written, Directed and Co-Produced by Damien Leone. The Film features a New Face in the World of Horror in Art The Clown, Played by David Howard Thornton, Who Dresses in an Early 20th Century Clown Costume complete with an Insanely Small Top Hat. Also Art’s Clown Make Up is Void of the Usual Bright Traditional Clown Colors, and instead is Simply Black on White reminiscent of Black Metal Musician’s Corpse Paint. To His Credit Art The Clown was Named “One of the Scariest Clowns on Screen” by Bloody-Disgusting.com,
Terrifier marks the Second Feature Film Appearance of Art The Clown Character, After Leone’s 2013 Anthology Film All Hallow’s Eve, which Incorporates Footage from Previous Short Films that were also Directed by Leone that Also Originally featured Art The Clown. If Your interested for whatever Reason in watching All Hallow’s Eve We have it Posted in Our Movie Category, and was actually used in a Prior Saturday Slasher Cinema.
Synopsis:
On Halloween Night The Sadistic Serial Killer known as Art The Clown Returns focusing His Sick Psychotic Obsession on Three Innocent Young Women, Along with Anyone Else that gets in His Way!!!
When We Saw this I KNEW We had to Include it: The Following is Posted on commonsense media.org
WHAT PARENTS NEED TO KNOW
Parents need to know that Terrifier is a slasher movie about an evil killer clown. Blood and gore are extremely strong, and the violence against women is disturbing. One woman is hung naked upside down (her breasts are visible) and sawed in half from her crotch to her head. Another woman’s skin is sliced off of her chest, and the killer wears it on his own chest so that he can have breasts. There are many deaths, and tons of blood sprays/spurts, plus beating with blunt objects, guns and shooting, stabbing, slicing, severed heads, eye gouging, and much more. Language is also very strong, with multiple uses of “f–k”, “s–t”, “bitch, and more. There’s some sexual innuendo, and a couple falls into bed, kissing. Characters are drunk after a night of partying, cigarette smoking is shown, and a woman is injected with a knockout drug.
Not To Viewer: While the MOVIE IS IN ENGLISH there are French Subtitles. Unfortunately this was the Only Accessible Copy We could Find, and Since Terrifier is Such a Bad Ass Slasher Movie, and We would Feel like Real Assholes if We didn’t Post it (It’s Honestly One of Our Favorites here at FYB). Plus Subtitles are Easy to Ignore if You Don’t have to Read Them.
Enjoy.
We Hope You Enjoyed this Tale of a Killer Clown Carnage as Much as We Did.
Welcome to this Week’s Installment of Short Horror Film Friday featuring NO THROUGH ROAD 4 the Final Short in the British Psychological Horror Series. This Installment is a Bit Different because Below the FilmWe have Our Series Synopsis where We examine the Four Films in an Attempt to Deduce What it was all About/What was Going On. If You haven’t seen the Three Previous NO THROUGH ROAD Short Films We Highly Suggest You Do before watching NO THROUGH ROAD 4 (You can Find all Three Previous Shorts Here in the Movie Category in case Some aren’t Aware).
Outstanding Questions Entering NO THROUGH ROAD 4:
Will the Boys Manage to Escape from the Man in the Mask Alive?
Who is The Man in the Mask
What is the Endless Loop All About?
What Happened to Steven during the 3 Years He was Missing and Presumed Dead?
What is Steven’s Connection to The Man in a Mask?
What does Steven Know that HE’s Not telling the Others About?
How did the Boys come to Find Themselves in this Sinister Situation to Begin With?
Whats the Significance of the Tunnel?
What’s the Significance of the NO THROUGH ROAD Signs?
Can the Man in the Mask Be Killed and if So How?
Why is the Man in the Mask Terrorizing Travelers (What’s His Motive)?
Enjoy.
So What was it all About: Final Summation
Basically, the Boys Found the House and Figured Out that the Mysterious Man in a Mask that Terrorizes the Boys Lives There. Essentially, The Man in a Mask has been Living Out in the Middle of Nowhere, Tormenting and Quite Possibly Killing People Who Unknowingly Dare Trespass on His Property. Now, the Interesting thing Here is that You have to stop thinking Steven and The Man in the Mask are Two Different People.
The Signs that said “No Through Road” were a Dire Warning to Travelers. How things go for Steven is as follows:
Present: They Found Steven (When He shows Up Out of Nowhere in No Through Road 2)
Past: He was “Murdered” along with His Friends.
Future: The Man in the Mask/Steven Knows what the Tunnel is and Tries to Warn People Off from it.
Instead, People/Travelers go through without thinking, so He Tries to Scare Them Away. The Tunnel itself is like the Movie Groundhog Day; an Infinitely-Looping Series of Events that Only the One(s) Who are Aware and/or Experiencing them can Prevent. Steven believed that if He Prevented The Man in the Mask (Himself) from Attacking the Past Him, it would Somehow Alter the Outcome of the Events that Followed. Unfortunately, He Ended up Attacking Himself and Repeating the Events that lead to Him being Discovered. Horrified by what He had Done, Steven Runs Away and Hides where Nobody can find Him, Unless They go Searching. He stays there for Years, scavenging together Food and shit for However long and doing His Best to Prevent a Repeat of Events. Except each day, He Repeats the Same Thing in an Eternal Loop.
The Reason Why the Boys can’t Hurt The Man in the Mask is because He Does Not Exist at the Same Point in Time. Steven in the Future has Learned that Not Only did the Tunnel Trap Him in an Infinite Loop, but with some Practice, He can Jump to Specific Points in Time.Steven is No-face. He wants to Prevent Other People/Travelers from Experiencing His Hell. He knows No Matter what, Regardless of what Point in Time He jumps to, the Events that are Keeping Him there are a Fixed Point in Time. Anything that Happens following Someone’s Discovery of the Tunnel Automatically becomes a Fixed Point in Time that keeps You Trapped Unable to Escape.
