500 Years Of Satan
In the 16th and 17th century, grisly paintings of the
Evil One were intended literally, Barryte says.”They were meant to have a moral
effect, which is why artists made him awful looking. Even if you were educated,
you would wonder, ‘What if?’ No matter how skeptical one might be today, there
was real faith underlying this imagery.”
The Enlightenment began to change that. As our conception of evil shifted, so did our personification of the devil. “He becomes more human, even romanticized, after the popular revolutions of the late 18th century, especially the French Revolution,” Barryte says. In the 19th century, the devil was often depicted as a “shrewd and wily dandy,” a Mephistophelean figure who would trick you out of your soul, not brutally tear it from you. “Fear is no longer his most effective tactic,” Barryte says. “And in the 20th century, he all but disappears except in advertisements.”

John Carpenter Live
An amazing night last night watching Mr. Carpenter perform songs from his film career and his latest albums. Absolutely mesmerizing and surreal being in an audience and feeling the music vibrate the seats. Such a fun concert.
He ended the night with the below track. Turn it up as loud as it can go without wrecking your speakers...then picture it louder and clearer. Crazy.

The Exorcist III From Scream Factory
In many ways I dig this film more than the original.
It's a super fave in this house.
From their Facebook page:
You’ve heard the rumors for months…and they’re all true! William Peter Blatty’s cult favorite THE EXORCIST III will be bearing its cross on a 2-disc Collector’s Edition Blu-ray set from us on October 25th. Extras (of which there are tons) are underway and will be announced at a date in Late Summer / Early Fall. The newly-designed front-facing artwork from Joel Robinson you see here is final (not pictured is the reverse wrap image which will showcase the original theatrical
poster art.) Early pre-order now directly from us and receive a free
18″ x 24″ poster of the new art (while supplies last) plus early
shipping! We know that the biggest question you might have is: Will
there be a “Director’s Cut” of the film? The answer is yes—but with some
caveats. We are working on putting together a version that will be
close to Blatty’s original script using a mixture of various film and video tape sources that we have been provided with. This is still a work in progress and we will update you with more details at the time we announce the full list of
bonus materials.

Alien Lies
The big guy said to me; they wanted to put something into me for tracking reasons. He asked if I would cooperate? I said; as long as you don't hurt me. He said; I will be with you, they will not harm you in anyway. I trusted him. He led me to a chair and had me sit down in it.
