Southern Decay....

I dont know what the title of this is all about, it just popped into my head. Im a huge fan of southern culture.....well, not so much the south as i am with Appalachian culture. Regardless, im still a big fan. As far as the Appalachian part West Virginia takes first place, and the southern part I guess its a tie between Georgia and Louisiana.



To me the old houses are a big part of the draw. Especially the ones with willow trees and spanish moss. The reason for all this nonsense came from a movie i was watching today that was set in the south. Its been a couple of years since i was in Florida or Georgia so i forgot about this kinda stuff.



I came across some houses on the good ol' internet that id love to have for myself. Most of them are rotten and decrepit , but then again its part of the charm.

its a gasss!

To me gas masks have always been such a face of terror. Not that im afraid of them or anything, but they have such an evil presence. So ive came across some pictures that i find pretty cool, yet eerie. Anything from Nazis to children playing...you cant put a gas mask on something and have it look happy and jolly....it just turns out sort of demented.

Just hangin out with the guys!



A new face of technology!



Mommy , look!



Sir, Ja, Herr ( Sir, yes ,Sir)



Rugged, yet defined



Look both ways before crossing!

CHUD (cannibalistic humanoid underground dwellers) 1984



A top secret underground urban waste dump is turning the local homeless people into mutant cannibals......


Ive debated every time i go to Best Buy whether i should pick this up or not. So today i went for it. Got home, popped that sucker in ,and....well....wasnt as cool as it seems. The idea of the movie rules and is right up my alley. I just dont think they pulled it off right.





There was some cool stuff...like these sweet lookin mutant things....some blood....guts....you know, all the good stuff! It wasnt too bad of a movie, just kinda hard to take Daniel Stern seriously.







I picked this up at My Minds Eye Records today. it was dirt cheap...20 smackaroos! I think its more than that on the Big Beat Records Website.





Its a set of five 7 in records: The Vibes, Meteors, Guana Batz, Stingrays, Bananamen, and the Milkshakes!

SS Girls (1977)

SS Girls

dir. Bruno Mattei







I saw this a couple of years ago and recently watched it again. Ive been slow on watchin some of my movies recently but picked up that filthy habit again while gettin pumped for Cinema Wasteland this weekend.


Basically this is just another nazisploitation flick. Same imagery, more orgies, and even more death.I believe the director used the same actress Macha Magall in some of his other movies of the same subject. I even got this in a movie bundle called the SS Hell Pack.


Ive never seen so many wierd sexual acts as in this movie...gimps...fat guys...dogs...what?


I love the ending of this movie! You can almost see it happening in real life, and who knows, maybe it did!

Diggin Up Some Dirt

I cam across these pictures that i took a while back. I kinda forgot i had them. They're from a small semi-abandoned cemetery by my house. Its called Denison-Centre Burial Ground. I think it looks so cool due to all of the cracked and fallen headstones. Not all the pictures i took turned out good but these did!










You might even be able to get some of these if theyre still available from an etsy shop that me and Erin run.

semi-new drawings and shtuff!

man, i haven't done anything lately, but have been busy as hell the whole time. So, as for my life .....work, work, eat, practice guitar, drink a lot. Thats about it. For Wolfboy.....played a couple shows this month and have a couple more. Im starting to look for some close yet outa town places to play....Eerie, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, etc. So i had a couple of minutes to spare so i figured id put up some o' my recent crappy drawings!





I didnt draw this, and its not too recent.....but, i did design it for my best gal Erin, and maybe you can read it and tune in sometime?!

Switchblade Sisters ( 1975)

The Switchblade Sisters

Director: Jack Hill



Foxy chicks, knives, guns, booze, sex......what else could it be? The Switchblade Sisters. Another fine addition to the sick, blood spattered movies Jack Hill has kicked out. This buncha girls are the Dagger Debs the girl chapter of the local Silver Daggers. They and their male cohorts terrorize town and their high school.






The leader of the Deb's, Lace soons meets her match Maggie. Shes the new kid on the block who just wont give in to this gangs shit.They fall into a little rumble that end these gals in the slammer. She can beat em, but she still joins em. They even show the female correctional officers how to really use a plunger!







The Debs soon ditch their wimpy men after the leader gets capped. They join up with a radical political gang and make sure that they're the toughest, #1 gang around. They win, but that's when the real trouble starts......







I got this killer new slab o wax the other day. Its a clear 5 in hand lathe cut record. Its slighty bigger than a cd. I opened it up and could believe how damn little it was.....and how cool it was.
Thee Wild Wraith-Just Set Me Free. The B-Side has a cool cover of Whitey Mack and the Booze Hounds.
