8 Movies to Die For: Dread

Watched Dread this past Saturday night. It's one of the newer 8 Movies to Die For and it's by Clive Barker!
Here's a little sexy eye candy:
   

It stars Jackson Rathbone. Who is Jackson Rathbone you ask? At first I saw him and I was like "oh he looks familiar but I can't place him"

Anything yet? Does this help any?

  Yes, it's Jasper from Twilight! And lemme tell you, he plays a better down and out college boy than a wimpy, mood controlling vampire!! Yes, the movie was kinda slow. But it made up for it in other ways! Here's a synopsis from lionsgateshop.com:

"Stephen (Jackson Rathbone, the TWILIGHT saga) and Cheryl are college students making a documentary about what people dread in life. But they have no idea that their partner, Quaid, witnessed his parents being murdered by an axe-wielding lunatic and wants to make others experience his own personal horror. This stylish horror/thriller is produced by Clive Barker, the Godfather of modern horror/fantasy and the creator of the HELLRAISER and CANDYMAN series."

Ok this is more of a psychological, OMG-what-the-fuck-were-they-thinking-this-has-the-possibility-to-be-real movie. It's not horror if you solely define it along the lines of Hellraiser,  etc. It's mind fucking horror. There are a few grisly, gory scenes that I won't talk about here because it would kinda give it away. I can tell you that if you enjoyed Barker's "Midnight Meat Train" or " Book of Blood", you will most likely enjoy this one too

Here's 2 personal reviews on 2 movies I've watched lately.

#1 Clash of the Titans (2010)




I personally am a HUGE fan of the original. I really love the stop motion stuff. It's awesome! But for an updated remake, this one is great!! They do pay homage the to the original with a brief scene. Perseus is getting ready to go on his journey and is searching through a truck. He pulls out Bubo!!! The only thing I didn't like was the Pegasus. In the original he was white, in this one he was black. But it does have great action through out the whole movie!!


#2 Legion


This movie was a waste of my time. The only good part was when Grandma in the diner got possessed and said "I said your fuckin' baby's gonna burn." The few action sequences had promise and there was so much more that could have been done with this movie. But it was otherwise painful to watch.

Honey Jar working!

I started this jar this past Thursday. It is for my husband and I. I added sugar to the bottom of the jar. Then had him help me add various herbs for love and protection. There's also 2 cowrie shells in there to represent each of us. I also had him write our names on a paper and fold it towards him then place it in the jar. Before I added the honey, we both put some of our hair in it!

I've kept candles lit on it everyday except yesterday. The jar didn't call out to me to light one. But this morning it did. And lucky me, all the candles I've been using have evaporated, so no candle wax down the jar :( What you see is where I melted the candle down a little so it would have something to stick to.

I'm already seeing work with this jar. We've both been sweeter to each other the past few days. I will continue to light candles as long as the jar calls out for them.

Making my own coffin nails!

nstead of buying coffin nails for future work, I've decided to make my own. I downloaded a coffin from http://ravensblight.com/papertoys.html

I covered the print out with packing tape so it is protected a little. Then I put it together. I filled it with some graveyard dirt I've collected in the past plus 9 nails. Later today, I will be going to the cemetery. I will bury it and leave it there for either 3, 7, or 9 days, which ever the spirits tell me to.

unfixed VooDoo dolls.

would anyone be interested in buying/trading for unfixed VooDoo dolls? I have some Spanish Moss I collected from a local cemetery (where Hank Williams Sr is buried Oakwood Annex Cemetery Montgomery) and plethora of fallen branches in my front and back yard. If interested, please message me or comment on my page.

This is a shrine that I made for my grandmother. I originally bought the shrine unfinished off of Etsy for a swap I was going to do on Swap-Bot. But I dropped that swap. So I decided to do this with it instead.

Shedding in Room #4

It hasn't quite begun yet. But I wanted to start this to be able to show what I'm up against here!!! The 3rd room I'm working on is my sewing/crafting room. I have a HUGE old dining room table that I use. And as you can see, it collects a lot of stuff. The dishes you see are from the kitchen shedding we did Christmas night. My sister wants some of them and the rest are going to Goodwill. I will be packing them up in my car later today hopefully.

Speaking of Goodwill...I went with my 8 bags of donations today and dropped them off. Then I decided to head to another thrift store in town. I was hoping to be able to find a smaller table to replace the huge table I'm using now. I didn't think I would find one, but WOW..I did!! I know I know, I'm shedding and should be getting rid of stuff, not adding to it!!! But this smaller table will serve several purposes. #1 More room in my sewing room!! #2 smaller table = less area to hold excess junk! and #3 I can now get rid of the larger table and the 6 extra chairs with it that I don't need or use!! The table did come with a small stool that I will be recovering. I went to Wal-Mart last night looking for a similar stool for my 3 yr old. I'm trying to potty train him and need something for him to stand on!!

I am posting pictures below of the room in it's current state. Later today, I will start working to get things cleared out. Once I get it all done, I will post new pictures!!!
