Alex Aja's 'Horns' Already On iTunes!
Wanna see Alex Aja's Horns, the adaptation inspired by Joe Hill's comic about a man demonized for the murder of his girlfriend, right now?
Thanks to Bloody reader Ryan R., we learned that Horns, starring The Woman In Black's Daniel Radcliffe, is now available for rent or purchase on iTunes. It's $9.99 to rent, or $14.99 to buy, and while many find it disappointing, I enjoyed it as a direct-to-VOD title. It also opens wider on October 31.
"Blamed for the murder of his girlfriend and ostracized by everyone he knows, a small-town guy (Daniel Radcliffe) awakens one morning to find he's grown a pair of horns. Armed with the supernatural powers they possess, he sets out to find the true killer."
Directed by Alexandre Aja (High Tension, Mirrors, Piranha 3D, The Hills Have Eyes) from Keith Bunin's script, Horns stars Daniel Radcliffe, Juno Temple, Max Minghella, Joe Anderson, Kelli Garner, Heather Graham, David Morse, Kathleen Quinlan, and James Remar.
Bloody Disgusting's Mike Pereira was a huge fan – read his review here – calling it "an audacious, wonderfully twisted romantic horror fantasy."
10 Best Halloween Attractions of 2014 (Presented by Travel Channel)
TravelChannel.com names the "Travel's Best: Halloween Attractions" of 2014.
This year, these top 10 attractions are pulling out all the stops – heightening the fear factor and frightening visitors with new haunted houses, thrilling rides and amazing special effects produced by the best in the business.
TravelChannel.com editors enlisted a panel of experts to help determine the 10 best Halloween attractions for 2014, including: Zak Bagans (Lead Investigator, "Ghost Adventures"), Jeff Belanger (Author, TV Personality and Paranormal Expert), Larry Kirchner (Owner, HauntWorld.com, Hauntworld Magazine and Halloween Productions) and Aaron Sagers (Geek Culture and Paranormal Pop-Culture Expert).
The 2014 "Travel's Best: Halloween Attractions" (in alphabetical order by state):
Queen Mary's Dark Harbor – Long Beach, Calif.
The Queen Mary was built in the early 1930s as a luxury trans-Atlantic ocean liner, but was pressed into military service to carry troops during World War II where hundreds died in and around the ship. This Halloween, the haunted ship is offering its Dark Harbor tours with four new attractions – the Soulmate maze, the B340 maze, Voodoo Village and Monster Midway, which features a freak show, a mechanical monster and a new ride, the Sinister Swings. Travel Channel's "Ghost Adventures" recently did a lockdown investigation aboard the Queen Mary for the show's season 10 premiere, uncovering chilling paranormal evidence. So keep your eyes open, because those ghostly apparitions you see may not just be another special effect.
13th Floor Haunted House – Denver, Colo.
Guests taking a frightful visit to the 13th Floor Haunted House in Denver – the largest and longest indoor haunted attraction in Colorado – will understand why most buildings don't have a 13th floor. Renovated this year with two new attractions, watch evil take control of unwilling bodies in Undead: The Possession or run for your life as terrifying ghouls and monsters come alive as you walk through Dwellings of the Dead. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology such as Microsoft Kinect, the robotic monsters are more than capable of frightening the victims who dare to venture into the 13th Floor.
Universal Orlando's Halloween Horror Nights – Orlando, Fla.
Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando should be at the top of anyone's Halloween bucket list, especially fans looking for big-budget scares. Movie industry experts craft haunted houses so loaded with detail that visitors walk through and feel like they've been dropped into an episode of "The Walking Dead" or the movie "From Dusk Till Dawn." Other popular attractions featured at the theme park include Bayou of Blood, Dollhouse of the Damned and Roanoke – Cannibal Colony. Those willing to face their fears can also enter, at their own risk, the "Halloween" house for a face-to-face meeting with Michael Myers, the iconic masked slasher from the movies.
Netherworld – Atlanta, Ga.
With over 200 animated monsters and 100 live actors, Netherworld is one of the nation's most famous attractions. Having been featured on TV and in movies such as "Zombieland," this spooky attraction has amazingly detailed sets. And unlike other Halloween attractions, Netherworld's creepy characters greet patrons in the parking lot before they purchase tickets, scaring them off before they even enter.
13th Gate – Baton Rouge, La.
The 13th Gate is one of the most, if not the most, elaborately detailed haunted houses in America thanks to a construction crew that includes award-winning set designers, lighting and sound technicians and special-effects artists. Sets are over-the-top and feature live animals, including snakes and gators. In each of the 13 themed indoor and outdoor areas,more than 100 professional actors and 12 special makeup artists help bring the horror to life.
Festival of the Dead – Salem, Mass.
Salem, Mass. is historically known for the 1692 Witch trials that left 20 people executed. This year's Festival of the Dead includes two weeks of events and parties designed to bring out your inner-Witch. Attend a séance to speak with the dead, share your stories with others at the Mourning Tea, pick up new ghost-hunting techniques or learn about death's macabre customs and strange rituals. Finish the festival with the Official Salem Witches' Ball on Oct. 31 and you'll leave this town spellbound.
Bennett's Curse – Jessup, Md.
This haunted spectacle outside of Baltimore is one of the top Halloween attractions in the Mid-Atlantic region. It features three terrifying haunted houses – Medieval Underworld, Inferno 3D and Sanctuary of Insanity – and the owners of this popular haunt continue to add monsters and twists to keep the attractions exciting for new and returning visitors. Not only has Bennett's Curse been featured on Travel Channel's "America's Scariest Halloween Attractions 3," but it has consistently been ranked by several sources as one of the best Halloween attractions in the U.S. This spooky spot is also among the first to frighten its victims with the latest cutting-edge technology.
Fright Dome – Las Vegas, Nev.
Located in Circus Circus' Adventuredome, the Fright Dome is one of Las Vegas' largest and longest-running Halloween attractions. With six new haunted houses, the theme park is transformed into a pitch-black, lights-out, haunted spectacle – easily making it the scariest on the Strip. Scary creatures lurk in every dark, fog-filled corner, making guests feel as though they're walking through their worst nightmare. The five-acre theme park also includes 25 rides and attractions, multiple live shows at night and four new scare zones, including the Clown Overload Zone. "My personal nightmare of clowns with glowing eyes surrounding me came to life," says Zak Bagans, lead investigator of "Ghost Adventures," "I had the worst panic attack. Needless to say, I'll go back again because it was badass!"
ScareHouse – Pittsburgh, Pa.
ScareHouse is the place to be this year, especially with an exclusive partnership with Legendary Entertainment to help create the scariest Halloween to date. The partnership even sparked a visit from filmmaker Guillermo del Toro, who said, "With the sound design and the atmospherics, it is beautiful. I could live here!" Featured attractions include The Summoning, Pittsburgh Zombies: Black Out and The Basement. This Halloween haunt offers a big-budget sensibility without losing its hometown appeal.
Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum Haunted House – Weston, W.V.
The Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum is one of the most memorable haunted locations for "Ghost Adventures" lead investigator Zak Bagans, who completed a live 7-hour investigation with the Ghost Adventures crew. The spirits that roam the asylum's halls are extremely active and tours are offered to see how the mentally insane lived and died within these walls. "It is undeniably the scariest overall haunted attraction that I've been to in the U.S.," says Bagans. Additionally, visitors can participate in zombie paintball, a fall festival and the Asylum Ball, which includes a costume contest.

'Gremlins' Director Howls For 'Ombra Amore'
If you can't get a project off the ground. Change the title so it doesn't look "damaged." Thankfully, Joe Dante's Burying the Ex is getting rave reviews and has given fresh life to the project formerly known as Monster Love.
Joe Dante's long-planned Monster Love is hitting the market scene with a new title, Ombra Amore.
THR says that it begins at the Rome Film Festival's New Cinema Network co-production market, dubbed "Great Beauties," focusing on films that promote Italy as an ideal production partner for global films.
One of its eight projects this year is Dante's Ombra Amore. The Gremlins director, who premiered his latest film Burying the Ex, pictured, in Venice this year, has his sights set on underground Rome as the setting for the vampire/werewolf love story that puts a classical Romeo and Juliet tale into today's financial crisis-ridden Italy.
"Pete is a werewolf whose pack is a crew of hotheaded financial traders responsible for Italy's current economic crisis. Maggie is a vampire whose family is a formerly-wealthy aristocratic clan brought to bankruptcy by the greedy werewolves. Amongst a series of other-worldly troubles, it remains to be seen whether or not their love can survive among the warring families."
"Rome. The Eternal City of Gods and Monsters. Where a She-Wolf suckled Romulus and Remus," said Dante in a statement. "And what could be more eternal than Un-death?" Ombra Amore is budgeted at around $14.6 million. Dante promises "a compelling new take on a classic genre."
[Review] 'The Taking of Deborah Logan' Is Creatively Bankrupt
There are a few great movies that have "Taking of" in their title. For instance, The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974) is a gritty crime classic and The Taking of Beverly Hills (1991) is an angry little thriller directed by action wiz Sidney Furie. The Taking of Deborah Logan is not one of the greats. It tarnishes the "Taking" titles with a miserable stab at found footage that starts off with an interesting angle before abruptly devolving into trope territory. Aside from a gruesomely nightmarish moment at the end and Jill Larson's ghoulish performance, The Taking of Deborah Logan is hopelessly bankrupt of fresh ideas.
When they say Deborah Logan is "taken," they mean she's possessed. It could've also just as easily been the "exorcism" of Deborah Logan. I guess director Adam Robitel and producer Bryan Singer (Apt Pupil) didn't want to be thrown in the landfill of movies with "possession" and "exorcism" in the title, so they went with "taking." Regardless, they do build up to the full blown demonic presence in an interesting way. The first half of the film is a medical documentary about elderly Deborah Logan's (Larson) struggle with Alzheimer's disease. Here the movie is very grounded, as medical student Mia (Michelle Ang) documents Logan for her thesis. They talk about the disease for a while and Logan's daughter Sarah (Anne Ramsay, who played Ellen Wolf on season 3 of Dexter) explains how it's crippled all of their lives.
The film never really does more than flirt with the topic of Alzheimer's. It just uses it as a springboard for the "taking." Physically, Logan's akin to Zelda from Pet Sematary, so right off the bat I wanted to dive under the covers. When the film shifts into full blown horror, Logan is transformed into a skeletal terror. It's a scary mutation for sure, but as the film shifts to horror, it also sinks deep into the aspects of found footage that most fans hate: shaky cam, nauseating cam, and their evil cousins, dark cam and static cam. And, like you probably guessed, the climax is shot so deplorably, you can't see what the hell is going on most of the time.
There's some folklore and mythology mixed in to liven up the possession tale. It's pretty silly how Mia, a highly educated med student, buys into all of it so quickly. One minute she's having a discussion with a neuropsychologist, the next it's demonology and exorcisms. When we meet her, she seems strongly rooted in logic, so the sudden shift in her supernatural beliefs feels like bullshit.
The best part of Taking of Deborah Logan is one single moment during the frantic climax. It's a shot that lasts about four seconds or so and hot damn is it something ripped straight out of a nightmare. Aside from that single shot, the film brings nothing new to the table. Avoid, avoid, avoid.
[TV] Showtime Teases "Penny Dreadful" Return
I unfortunately don't have Showtime, so I don't know whether or not to be excited for Showtime's second season of "Penny Dreadful."
My colleagues have been quiet, so I assertion the same, but I have heard the show was pretty great.
Maybe the first season will hit Netflix or Amazon come 2015 when Season 2 premieres.
In Season 2 we can expect "Penny Dreadful" to "get bigger. There's a great antagonist next year played by Helen McCrory… Season 1's antagonist was sort of an inhuman character. It'll be good to have a more human antagonist," said Showtime president David Nevins.
The series stars Eva Green, Timothy Dalton, Josh Hartnett, Reeve Carney, and Harry Treadaway; it was created by and is executive produced by John Logan.
[Review] 'Annabelle' is Not Really About the Doll
Annabelle, the standout in James Wan's The Conjuring is back, in her own, eponymous film. And while Annabelle really had no place in The Conjuring, she doesn't really have a place in Annabelle, either.
Young expectant couple John and Mia are clean-cut and annoyingly perfect, which only makes me eager to get to their inevitable suffering. Luckily, I don't have to wait too long. Their next-door neighbors, an older couple with whom they go to church, lost their daughter two years prior when she ran away and joined a Satanic cult. One night, John and Mia wake to screams from next door. The Higgins' daughter has returned, and she kills both of them. Then she and her crazed boyfriend attack Mia and John. The boyfriend stabs Mia in the belly before cops get there and shoot him dead. The daughter has locked herself in the nursery. When the cops break in, she has killed herself, clutching one of Mia's beloved dolls. This is the Annabelle doll and guess what? The daughter's name is Annabelle. And some of Annabelle's blood has been absorbed into the Annabelle doll.
Mia and the baby are okay, but are put on bed rest until she delivers. John, a med student, isn't home much, which leaves plenty of time for Mia to be haunted: things move, doors slam, all the usual haunted stuff. Mia doesn't want the Annabelle doll in the house anymore, so John throws it away. A pack of Jiffy-Pop on an unlit stove sets the whole house on fire, and sends Mia to the hospital once again. She delivers a healthy baby girl (unfortunately named Leah) and demands that they move. John obliges, and somehow the Annabelle doll shows up at the bottom of one of their boxes. Mia decides to give the doll a second chance and puts it back in the nursery. Of course, the haunted happenings follow them to their new abode. Luckily Mia befriends a neighbor with a tragic past, who helps her realize that the Annabelle doll is trying to corrupt Leah.
The third act of Annabelle becomes quite ridiculous. As I was describing the plot to my husband, I had to stop in the middle. "This sounds even more ridiculous when I say it out loud." No spoilers, but it all kind of falls apart in an effort to make sense. Everyone is looking towards self-sacrifice in order to solve an absurd situation and past transgressions.
For a movie about a doll, the doll is not the focus. The Annabelle doll (which is more terrifying brand-new) is given no backstory. What kind of doll was she? Why was she so rare, so sought-after by collectors? Annabelle was just a doll (a nameless one at that) until human-Annabelle killed herself and transferred evil into her. There are no details on how she did that, and the why is sketchy at best. The doll itself is not evil. She doesn't move on her own or chase after people with a knife. Human-Annabelle could have just as easily "possessed" a toothbrush or a rug.
There is a definite Rosemary's Baby vibe that I think writer Gary Dauberman and director John R. Leonetti are trying to go for. There is the obvious Satanic possession, the meek pregnant woman, and the era. But pushing it over the edge are the character names: Mia and John (Rosemary's Baby starred Mia Farrow and John Cassavetes). And while it may be a tenuous link, Mia is watching news reports about the Tate/LaBianca murders and the arrest of the Manson family. (One of the Manson victims, Sharon Tate, was married to Roman Polanski and pregnant with his child. Polanski directed Rosemary's Baby.)
I will say that Annabelle offered some good scares. Nothing astonishingly new or unique, but effective – which is surprisingly hard to do, it seems. It was a mildly fun, mindless two hours. But all in all, I think you would be happier just watching The Conjuring again. The Annabelle portion of The Conjuring was far spookier and more cogent than the entirety of Annabelle.
Chucky vs. Annabelle a Dream of 'Child's Play' Creator
Don Macini may just be the most consistent of the writer-director horror icons.
The creator of Child's Play, and director of both Seed of Chucky and Curse of Chucky, dreams of a horror battle in the vein of Freddy vs Jason (a monster success for New Line Cinema in 2003).
This past weekend, Annabelle, the haunted doll film that was spun off from The Conjuring, nearly won box office gold, but still opened huge for an R-rated genre film.
Mancini talked to USA Today about the dream of pitting Chucky, from the Child's Play films, against the Annabelle doll.
"I am hoping that at some future point we have Annabelle and Chucky team up," says Mancini. "I can see that (even) in 20 years from now."
There might even be a cameo for Annabelle in the seventh Child's Play film, which Mancini is writing now.
"We would be into it, the only problem is that we are in different studios. That would probably be years worth of red tape to work it out," says Mancini. "But if it all could be worked out, then yes, we're very into it."
There is even a power connection. Explains the site, Annabelle director John Leonetti was the director of photography for 1991′s Child's Play 3.
In the meantime, Mancini vowed to be one of the first to see Annabelle, even just to inspect her fighting style.
'The Evil Within' Minimum PC Specs Are Still Scary
Bethesda has offered the minimum PC specs required to run The Evil Within, and they don't look too different from what's recommended. I know enough about GPUs to be surprised an i7 is recommended to run a game on lower settings, especially since — as many of you have been pointing out for some time now — this game doesn't look particularly graphics intensive.
In related news, The Evil Within can now be pre-ordered, and pre-loading is available now on the platforms that offer it. You'll need a decent head start to get that 40 GB install (on PC, PS4, Xbox One) finished in time for its Oct 14 arrival.
Minimum Specs:
OS: Windows 7/8.1
GPU: GTX 460 or an equivalent 1gb VRAM card
CPU: i7 or an equivalent 4+ core processor
The Evil Within arrives on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on October 14.
What Are Some Of Your Favorite Short Horror Films?
There are times when I don't have a full 90-120 minutes to devote to a horror movie, which is something I'm sure many of you can relate to. Let's be real and admit that we have lives, we have work, we have families, we have friends, etc… While it's great to kick back with a horror movie there are simply times when it just can't be done.
But that doesn't mean we can't find horror in other ways. And a good short horror film is just the answer to those times when time is lacking. That's why I've put together a few short horror films that I think are incredibly effective and also run the gamut of emotions.
After you check these out, make sure to leave several of your own favorites in the comments below!
Lights Out – David F. Sandberg & Lotta Losten
Sometimes, the most effective scares are the ones where the story tells itself, without a narrator or any dialogue. Sometimes, the best way to scare someone is to not give them any explanation and let the mind go where it goes.
There's a reason this won awards and was selected at several film festivals. It's incredibly effective and makes a case for anyone who's scared of the dark.
'The Vanishing of Ethan Carter' Review: Scenic Route
Over the last few years we've witnessed an exodus, of sorts, as one developer of AAA games after another has decided to drop the insane expectations and ridiculous budgets of blockbuster video games to focus on passion projects. In 2012, Red Barrels was established by some of the folks behind Assassin's Creed and Splinter Cell so they could bring us Outlast. There's also Blackpowder Games, a studio comprised of former Monolith devs, which recently released its atmospheric open-world shooter Betrayer.
AAA-turned-indie devs have gradually developed a solid track record of making quality games that didn't need tens of millions of dollars to realize or a hive of PR people to market to the widest possible audience. They're also far more courageous ventures — like an open-world game that's almost entirely bereft of color — than what we usually see in the AAA space.
It's almost as if setting aside all the nonsense and high expectations that come with making wildly expensive games to focus on the creative side of development can actually benefit the game. When no one's wasting time asking stupid questions like whether or not featuring a woman on the front of the box art negatively impact sales, we get games like Outlast, Betrayer and The Vanishing of Ethan Carter.
That last game is the latest example of what's so great about this exciting industry trend. It comes from The Astronauts, a brand new studio formed by ex-People Can Fly devs. This is (part of) the team behind bombastic blockbuster action games like Bulletstorm and Gears of War: Judgment, though you wouldn't guess it by looking at their latest project.
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is entirely unlike anything this team of clearly talented developers has done before, and I absolutely love it.
I don't think I'm going out on a limb when I say there aren't enough quality mystery games to choose from these days. Ethan Carter may just be good enough to change that. At least I hope it is. It'd be great if this game was successful enough to inspire more talented game makers to take a stab at this alarmingly underused genre, because we need more games like this.
It's worth mentioning that Ethan Carter isn't a horror game in the traditional sense. It manages to be scary without relying on gore, monsters or jump scares. It needs none of that, because its dark themes, moody atmosphere and slowly building dread prove far more effective.
Before we really start picking it apart, let's talk about what this game is all about.
Ethan Carter is a story-driven supernatural mystery played in the first person perspective. It couldn't be played any other way, for two reasons. The first is because the immersion relies on our ability to live inside the head of its lead character — the man who's investigating Ethan Carter's murder — paranormal investigator Paul Prospero.
The second reason for this is its emphasis on exploration. There's a major focus on discovery here, and The Astronauts has made scouring every inch of the gorgeous world they've made feel worth it.
This was accomplished by making its world feel as real as possible, and by making it the focus at all times. Even the interface has a gorgeous, minimalistic design. There are no tutorials, annoying in-game hints, maps, compasses, objective markers, or any of that crap that inundates so many modern games, and that frees us to enjoy this big virtual world that's been created just for us.
The attention to detail here is impressive. I found myself going out of my way just so I could frame the perfect screenshot. Despite its supernatural tendencies, Ethan Carter strives for realism, and much of why it's so successful is thanks to its setting. It's difficult to believe that such a serene and peaceful setting could hide such darkness, but it does, and witnessing it slowly unfold before you is nothing short of spectacular.
There's a beautifully realized world to explore here, and a keen eye is required not only to solve the mysteries that have been scattered about it, but to find them as well. If a keen eye isn't something you already possess, it will be something you develop.
Prospero has a very specific set of skills that make him more than a little familiar with the occult and the supernatural.
Like any good investigator, he has an eye for little details. Examining objects gives us a glimpse into his mind as brief notes appear, representing fleeting thoughts and observations. Things get interesting when his more unique talents reveal themselves.
Being a supernatural investigator, Prospero possesses the ability to see past the reality "normal" people see. He can glimpse into a hidden world. For him, it seems as simple as lifting a veil. This talent will prove invaluable in finding out exactly why a young boy, the eponymous Ethan Carter, was murdered.
Prospero's suite of abilities will be helpful, but they won't be enough to solve every riddle that comes your way. This isn't a survival horror game, but much like the best games of that genre, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter will require your full attention.
I've mentioned my love for quiet moments numerous times here on Bloody Disgusting, so I was delighted when I realized Ethan Carter shares my fondness for these moments that are so rarely found in modern games. It certainly helps that it's backed by a subtle, haunting and sufficiently mesmerizing soundtrack by Mikolai Stroinski (composer on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt).
Ethan Carter is more of an interactive story than a video game, in the traditional sense. But where similarly themed story adventure games like Gone Home and Dear Esther have each been wildly successful in handling their narratives, this is an area where The Astronauts stumbles.
A substantial amount of effort has gone into crafting a stunning presentation, I only wish the narrative was given the same amount of attention. The writing is superior to many games, but its flaws have been made more obvious with the spotlight shining upon them. Without spoiling anything, with a more confident execution, certain revelations could've landed with greater impact.
Ethan Carter is a case of the quality of the package sometimes overshadowing the contents contained within.
Because the player's only real impact on this world has been purposefully limited, it's clear from the beginning that we are only visitors in this place. We're never meant to have any real impact on it, our only purpose is to pay a visit it, solve a mystery, and leave. Wwhen we're gone, we'll leave nary a trace that we were ever here.
Funny, that. Prospero has daily dealings with ghosts, yet in a way, he's a ghost himself.
I also wish it trusted the player enough to not use invisible walls. If there's a cliff and I get perilously close to its edge, I want to feel like I'm in danger, as I would if I were in a real-life version of that scenario. Protecting the player with unnecessary boundaries is cheap and hurts the immersion.
In the end, Ethan Carter is likely to polarize a few folks, but I assume a majority of those who leave disappointed weren't sure of what to expect from it to begin with. Its refusal to hold our hand makes it only slightly less accessible to the average gamer, but it's necessary for this kind of experience — and for gaming as a whole, because excessively hand-holdy game design is ruining some games.
The Final Word: The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is ambitious, visually stunning and becomes gradually more unsettling the deeper you go. It's a shame the writing is often outclassed by its other strengths, because that's the only thing that holds this game back from true greatness.
What's the Scariest Game You've Ever Played?
For horror fans, October is a month-long celebration of all things horror. It's 31 straight days of scary movie marathons, staying up as late playing horror games, telling ghost stories, visiting haunted houses, and testing local urban legends.
It's an endless stream of all things fun and scary that leads up to one very special night of the year where old friends garbed in pitch black robes meet in empty cemeteries to continue ancient traditions of sacrificing innocents to appease the Old Ones, lest they return to unleash 10,000 years of hell on Earth.
Okay, maybe not that last bit, but the rest applies.
This year, my goal is to spend as much time as is humanly possible doing all of the above, with an emphasis on the gaming bit.
I'm going to cram as many hours playing horror games as I can into the paltry 744 hours that make up this wonderful month. When I'm not busy with one of the numerous horrifying releases October has in store for us, I'll return to my old haunts, the games that scared me the most in the past and continue to send shivers down my spine years later.
This leads me to my question. What is the scariest game you've ever played?
That's a tough question, right? You could go old school, with something like Silent Hill, Clock Tower, Dino Crisis, Resident Evil, or Fatal Frame 2, among about a thousand others. Or you could pick a more recent release, like Condemned, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Dead Space, Slender, etc.
Narrowing it down to just one game that was, to you, the most terrifying of them all, is nearly impossible after you've played enough games.
After much consideration, I think I may have come up with the game that, at the very least, comes damn close to reaching the top of my list. That game is Outlast. Its Whistleblower expansion may be superior, but by then I had become familiar with its gory back of tricks.
Since my first visit to Mount Massive Asylum is going to stick with me forever, and not just because my experience with it has been forever immortalized on YouTube. How about you?
10 Horrific Ways to Die in 'Alien: Isolation'
This past month we've witnessed Alien: Isolation lead Amanda Ripley die ten horrific deaths. With the game's release just a few short days away, the next time we see Ripley die will likely be when we're playing the game. Now, because there were so many videos released over the last four weeks, there's a good chance you may have missed one or more of them.
I've edited together a sort of "death compilation" that show off some of the many ways Ripley can die in Alien: Isolation. I know, that sounds creepy and weird, and maybe it is, but it also has a point. Consider this video a tool. Something to help improve your odds of survival.
Alien: Isolation hits PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on October 7. Good luck.

48-Hour Asylum Jam Returns This Halloween
Last October, nearly 400 developers came together for a 48 hour-long event called Asylum Jam. The goal of the event was to give game makers and horror enthusiasts the opportunity to make games that don't rely on "asylums, psychiatric institutes, medical professionals or violent/antipathic/'insane' patients as settings or triggers," all of which have often abused, exaggerated or presented in stereotypical ways — even in otherwise fantastic games.
This year's event runs from Oct 31 to Nov 2. They haven't nailed down a venue yet, but when they do, you can be sure they'll announce it on the official website.
I played through one of the games that came out of the first Asylum Jam as a part of our 13 Days of Horror series, which also happens to be returning this year. It's a neat game that's made even more impressive when you know it was made in just two days.
This is How That 'Alien: Isolation' Egg Pod Was Made
Even if you're like me and can't count yourself among the lucky few who were able to see it in person, I'm sure you remember that badass giant alien egg pod Sega made that served as an incredibly cool way to demo Alien: Isolation at games conventions. Public gaming events aren't great places to demo a horror game, but Sega found a clever way to work around that.
The egg pod made an appearance at a bunch of cons, including PAX Prime and San Diego Comic-Con, and now we get to see how it was made.
In semi-related news, if you were wondering whether or not Sega has any more of those vignettes left, they've confirmed that video we got last Thursday was the last of them.
Alien: Isolation arrives on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on October 7.
'Dying Light' Will Feature 50+ Hours of Gameplay
If you were ever worried about getting the most bang for your buck with the upcoming open-world survival horror game Dying Light, this bit of news should put those worries to rest. According to a statement from the game's producer, Tymon Smektala, in order to wring every ounce of content from its big, zombie-infested world, you'd have to spend in excess of 50 hours.
"The game is absolutely huge as it is, but to provide the ultimate zombie survival experience, we added an extra element of unpredictability to our nighttime gameplay," says Smektala. "Online players can face the threat of a possible invasion of their game by the Night Hunter, an extremely powerful, human-controlled zombie mutation. These invasions are an inherent part of Dying Light, available on all platforms for all online players from day one."
Below you'll find the latest trailer for the game that sheds light on its pre-order exclusive "Be the Zombie" multiplayer mode.
Dying Light hits PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on January 27, 2015.
Our 13 Days of Horror Returns October 19!
Last year, I moved our annual 13 day-long pre-Halloween extravaganza to our YouTube channel, because I thought recording myself playing 13 horror games over 13 days leading up to the best holiday of the year would be fun. You folks seemed to enjoy it, so I'm happy to announce we'll be doing it again this year! Want proof? Here's a silly intro David and I made for it.
Make sure you've subscribed, lest you miss out on all these sweet ass scares, and if you have specific games you'd like us to play, either let me know in the comments or tweet 'em at me.
Indiegogo Partners With Bloody Disgusting!
Horror. Genre. Slasher. Monsters. Zombies. Ghosts. Vampires. Werewolves. Possession. Exorcism. Creepies and the crawlies. These are things that I love and have always loved. When my partner Tom Owen and I founded Bloody-Disgusting.com in 2001, the site was born from a passion for these types of films and creative projects. Since then we've been on the front lines watching and admiring the modern evolution of independent filmmaking, gaming and digital content creation.
From Ti West to Adam Wingard, Bloody Disgusting has been leading the charge in discovering up and coming genre talent, and we have also bared witness to the ever-changing business model for these young filmmakers. Sure, it's cheaper to make a genre film than say a movie like The Avengers, but does that mean it's any less difficult?
HELL no!
We've built our brand based on the community experience, and are part of what we believe is a lifestyle (not just a mere obsession). Indiegogo is revolutionizing this communal experience, which is why Bloody Disgusting has for the first time decided to partner with a crowdfunding platform intent on discovering kickass new content so we can promote it and support it–something that we absolutely love doing.
To be Crystal-Lake clear, this isn't just about film, it's about music, it's about gaming, it's about art—it's about Gwar Bars and Persian Vampire Westerns. Whoever you are, whatever you do: If you're making something awesome, we want to help you birth those babies–get them funded, and then help get the word out.
We've been privileged to already partner with a number of amazing projects that will launch later this month on Indiegogo. We love 'em and we know you'll love them too. What are they? Well, that would be ruining the surprise!
How will this work? Head here to apply to be part of the curated Bloody Disgusting partner page. Myself and the Bloody staff will personally vet each submission, and choose only the very best projects to support. We've built a keen eye for talent over the years, and we're determined to only share and promote the projects and creators that not only we believe in, but also which we know you will believe in.
Here we are in the first days of October, our favorite time of year. So many things to do, so little time before the big day on the 31st. Things just got a little more interesting, and we're incredibly excited by this collaboration with Indiegogo, to take next steps in the horrorverse together.
Signed with blood,
Brad Miska, aka "Mr. Disgusting"

[Review] 'Annabelle' Should Be Sent to the Island Of Misfit Toys
You'll see a lot of love for creepy toy movies coming from me, it's one of my guiltiest pleasures. I own all Puppet Master movies, Child's Play, and you can probably guess my favorite segment from Trilogy of Terror. So, though not technically a "killer toy" movie I was really excited to see Annabelle.
This review does contain minor spoilers, please be cautious when reading.
Annabelle is a prequel/spinoff from James Wan's spectacular haunted house movie, The Conjuring. The conceit behind this is a film set in the past, it starts off in 1969, and tells us about the origin story of the doll in question. At the start Annabelle is a very normal doll, in spite of her horrific look, who is gifted to Mia from her husband John because she is a collector. One night while the young couple is asleep they hear screams from the neighbors and discover they have been murdered. Mia is attacked in the house by the female killer who was actually their neighbor's estranged daughter, Annabelle. Apparently Annabelle joined a satanic cult and was coming back to her parents to kill them and hopefully summon some sort of demon. The police arrive and shoot Annabelle's boyfriend as she locks herself in Mia's doll room clutching the creepy doll in her arms and kills herself. Her blood drips into devil Polly Pocket's eye and we see a cryptic symbol drawn in blood above her.
Let's be clear on one thing here, and it's important: JAMES WAN DID NOT DIRECT THIS MOVIE!
Not one minute of this film was directed by Wan who has pretty much solidified his horror status with The Conjuring and Saw. Instead it's directed by John R. Leonetti who directed such delights as The Butterfly Effect 2 and Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. Leonetti also is a cinematographer by trade and has done a lot of work for Wan in the past, including Insidious and Dead Silence. Basically, Wan became good friends with Leonetti and threw him this movie to help him out after the cinematic disaster that was Butterfly Effect 2.
I realize that Annabelle was never meant to be a killer toy in the way Chucky or Blade were, which is sad because I could have gotten a lot more enjoyment from that. Instead we get a skeleton execution of an interesting and creepy idea. How do you make a movie with a doll that creepy and somehow manage to not make it scary in the least. Of course there are jump scares, the scariest of which being spoiled in the trailer, but they don't even have near the effect caused in The Conjuring.
Annabelle is a very bland and generic take on a story like this. The leads, Annabelle (ironic) Wallis and Ward Horton certainly look the part of a middle class white couple living in the early 70s but other than that they don't do much else to keep our attention. After a while they begin to just fade into the background, particularly Horton who conveniently is a Med School intern and is very rarely around for any of the demonic action that plagues Mia. Neither of them seem as nearly concerned as they should in life and both are far too easily taken in by the supernatural. If the characters believe it's something spiritual right off the bat it robs the audience of scarier moments later on in the movie. Mia and John almost immediately agree it's something evil and head straight to their priest.
The priest is just one of 3 characters in this film that go absolutely nowhere. At the beginning we meet him when he wants to take a picture of Mia and her new born baby. This would be a good, though clichéd, opportunity for a scare like the demon or ghost in the background, but nope. Just a weird thing this guy likes to do. And while we're on the subject of the priest, he is extremely quick to agree with the couple that an exorcism must be performed on the doll. But if I remember right it took Regan's mom months of tests and procedures before they decided to call in Father Merrin and this is about the same time period. I know because the early 70s are crammed down my eye sockets every 2 minutes. The movie even starts out with Mia watching news coverage on The Manson Family. I get it movie, we're in the past and that would be great if the actual idea of a time period mattered but it doesn't! It isn't crucial to the plot, it could happen in any time, this one just so happens to fit into sequence with The Conjuring and Ed and Loraine Warren's lives. Stop it with the references already, I kept expecting Don Draper to walk in.
My final gripe on Annabelle is its overly convenient plot devices. Mia and John just so happen to move next door to a couple whose daughter returns with a cult member and is just so happening to try and summon a demon and just so happens to conjure it into the world's creepiest doll and on and on and on. There is even a character who falls under what Spike Lee famously termed "Magical Negro" who is sent to help out the white character because of their inside knowledge to what is going on. This archetype is both clichéd and insulting to audiences and filmmakers alike.
While Annabelle could have been a very creepy story with a lot of interesting mythology intertwined it instead gives us a mirage of potential. The best thing about Annabelle is it leaves off right as the story from The Conjuring begins. It sets it up perfectly to go into the next story about the nurses who had it, which means no sequel since we already were told that story!
Be Prepared, 'Cub' Is Coming (Poster)
Jonas Govaerts' Cub (read our review), which has World Premiered at the Midnight Madness portion of the Toronto International Film Festival last month, screened tonight at Sitges before hitting the London Film Festival on the 14th.
With a Belgium release slated for Halloween October 29th, Bloody Disgusting has a quote-filled new one-sheet for the film that looks like the early years of Jason Voorhees.
"Cub is a horror adventure in which a young imaginative twelve-year-old boy named Sam heads off to camp with his Cub Scouts pack, leaders Peter and Chris and quartermaster Yasmin. Once they enter the woods, Sam quickly feels something is not quite right. He soon stumbles upon a mysterious tree house and meets a shifty, masked feral-looking child. When Sam tries to warn his leaders, they ignore him: the boy often tells tall tales and Sam's mysterious past which he refuses to talk about makes his leader Peter mistrust him. As Sam gets more and more isolated from the other scouts, he becomes convinced a terrible fate awaits them: the Feral Child, it turns out, is the helper of the Poacher, an evil psychopath, who has riddled the forest with ingenious traps and is intent on slaughtering the scouts… one by one…"

3M and AHIMA Sign Agreement for Web-based Training Curriculum; Agreement Addresses Industry Need for Convenient, Affordable Coder Training.
SALT LAKE CITY--(BW HealthWire)--Oct. 15, 2001
3M Health Information Systems Division announced today that it will significantly expand its 3M Learning web-based training curriculum through an agreement with the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) to license and distribute the association's Coding Assessment and Training Solutions program. The 3M Learning curriculum, which provides clinical and coding content via the Internet to address the education needs of coding professionals, now will be enriched with an additional 300 hours of AHIMA coursework designed for all knowledge levels from entry-level to experienced coders.
The license agreement with AHIMA includes content in three education tracks covering the full spectrum of coding from ICD-9 coding through reimbursement. A student assessment tool automatically evaluates a student's current knowledge to match the student to the appropriate education track and can be used separately to evaluate a student's skill level. In addition, 3M Learning's student administration and reporting functions track student progress over time, document for compliance, and provide information for measuring an health information management (HIM) department's return on the investment in training.
James Burgess, vice president of 3M Health Information Systems, reiterated the importance of qualified, trained coders in today's health care industry -- and the challenge of finding and keeping them. "The growing complexity of coding and payment systems, along with increasing regulatory pressures, have heightened the need for experienced HIM professionals," says Burgess. "At the same time, the industry's chronic shortage of qualified coders has made ongoing training of new coders time-consuming and expensive for many HIM departments.
"We're very excited to be working with AHIMA, the leading HIM industry association, to provide convenient and affordable web-based training to our customers. This agreement greatly enhances our 3M Learning coding curriculum making it possible for 3M to meet a wide range of HIM training needs, from basic coding instruction to advanced coursework in complex diagnosis and procedure coding."
According to Linda L. Kloss, AHIMA's executive vice president and CEO, AHIMA is committed to providing health information management (HIM) professionals with the resources they need to increase their skills and knowledge in the field. "We are very pleased to partner with 3M Health Information Systems," says Kloss. "Development of Coding Assessment and Training Solutions demonstrates AHIMA's commitment to improving healthcare by advancing data quality and compliance with payment regulations."
3M Learning provides clinical and coding content via the Internet to coding professionals, compliance officers and clinicians allowing them to learn at their own pace and convenience. 3M Learning offers a wide range of courses covering topics such as coding compliance, ICD-9 coding for inpatient and ambulatory care, CPT-4 coding for ambulatory care and physician practice, and comprehensive training in Ambulatory Payment Classifications. The 3M Learning curriculum has been granted prior approval for continuing education credits from AHIMA.
AHIMA is the leading professional association representing more than 40,000 certified health information management professionals who work throughout the health care industry. HIM professionals serve the health care industry and the public by managing, analyzing and utilizing data vital for health system management. For additional information about the association, visit www.ahima.org or contact the association at (312) 233-1100.
3M Health Information Systems is an international leader in clinical information management, with products ranging from medical records coding systems to a comprehensive computer-based patient record system. Home Health Systems, consulting, implementation, training and process improvement services also are provided. 3M products are based on open architecture and industry standards; they interface with legacy systems and offer fast implementation and a timely return on investment. 3M Health Information Systems is a division of 3M, a diversified technology company with a health care business consisting of over 10,000 medical, surgical, consumer, home health care, dental and pharmaceutical products. More information about 3M Learning courses and 3M Health Information Systems is available on the Internet at www.3Mlearning.com, www.3Mhis.com, or by calling 1-800-367-2447.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Lincoln MKZ
By KBB.com Editors
In 2006, Ford introduced its Ford Fusion mid-size sedan and its divisional platform-mates the Mercury Milan and Lincoln Zephyr, all based on Japanese-partner Mazda's well-respected MAZDA6 front-wheel-drive architecture. Building on this proven platform, Lincoln combines the most powerful 3.5-liter V6 Ford engine available (the same used in the Fusion Sport), the six-speed SelectShift automatic transmission and available "intelligent" all-wheel drive to create the mid-size 2011 Lincoln MKZ (pronounced "M-K-Z") luxury sedan. Although the name is confusingly similar to the MKX crossover and new MKS luxury sedan, Lincoln simply follows a long line of luxury manufacturers whose marketers prefer letters and numbers to easily-recognizable names.
If a boldly-styled, beautifully-trimmed, solidly-built, well-equipped and reasonably-priced American mid-size luxury sedan that feels and drives more like a European import would fulfill your needs and desires, the 2011 Lincoln MKZ may be an excellent choice.
Lincoln long competed head-to-head with GM's Cadillac at the top of the U.S. market, but has lost a lot of luster in recent years. If brand image ranks higher than comfort, value and substance on your priority list, you may want to look elsewhere.
For 2011, HD Radio is added to the available voice-activated navigation system, while the all-new MKZ Hybrid begins its first year in production (reviewed separately.)
Driving Impressions The 2011 Lincoln MKZ's specially tuned, fully independent suspension rides a bit softer than the more sport-tuned Ford Fusion's but retains nearly all of the fun-to-drive Fusion's responsiveness and agility....Partly due to the car's stiff structure, its rack-and-pinion steering is precise, with good on-center feel, and transmits little vibration back to the steering wheel, thanks to its mounting on the isolated front subframe. The available "intelligent" all-wheel drive monitors and predicts traction at all four wheels and delivers torque to those with the best grip. The six-speed SelectShift automatic allows the driver to manually shift gears with no forced upshifts and an "enhanced overdrive cancel" mode locks out the fifth and sixth gears permitting shifts at higher speeds for better engine braking.
Standard Duratec 35 V6 Engine
Ford has long needed a smoother, more powerful, state-of-the-art V6 for its upscale mid-size entries, and this is it. Along with strong performance, it delivers respectable fuel economy of 18 EPA city miles per gallon and 27 on the highway with two-wheel drive.
Optional THX II-Certified Premium Audio
This 600-watt, 14-speaker system delivers surround-sound worthy of an upscale cinema. An MP3 audio input jack and SIRIUS Satellite Radio are standard.
Inside the ultra-quiet, premium-quality cabin are generous portions of real wood, aluminum-look trim and chrome accents. Rear-seat space is surprisingly generous, with more than three feet of legroom. The trunk is a best-in-class 15.8 cubic feet, with a flat floor and low liftover height for easy access, and the compact decklid hinges won't crush or interfere with your cargo. The class-exclusive standard 60/40-split rear seats fold flat, with a convenient pop-down spring assist, for easy storage access or to extend the cargo floor straight through from rear deck to front seats.Exterior
Lincoln says its modern image target is "earned reward" or "American dream," rather than "old world" flashy or "ostentatious luxury," which translates to quiet, casual, confident and more understated design. With its bold split-wing grille, jewel-like quad projector-beam headlamps, judicious use of chrome trim and low-profile tires on 17-inch, eight-spoke machined aluminum wheels, the 2011 Lincoln MKZ certainly looks the part of a credible mid-size luxury sedan. Around back are large wrap-around taillamps and twin chrome exhausts.
The nicely-equipped 2011 Lincoln MKZ comes with automatic on/off headlamps, leather seating, heated and cooled 10-way power front seats, tilt/telescoping four-spoke steering wheel with cruise and audio controls, dual-zone climate control, power heated mirrors, power windows and locks, remote keyless entry with exterior keypad, SYNC communications system, AM/FM stereo with six-disc CD changer and auxiliary audio input jack, SIRIUS Satellite Radio and two 12-volt outlets. Standard safety features include AdvanceTrac electronic stability control, Reverse Sensing System, four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes (ABS) with traction control and six air bags: Dual-stage fronts, front seat-mounted side and side-curtain for both seating rows.
Among the many MKZ options are chromed wheels, a power moonroof, Adaptive High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps, ambient floor lighting, 14-speaker THX II-Certified premium audio with 10 gigabyte Jukebox hard drive and SIRIUS Travel Link, voice activated navigation, rear back up camera, rain sensing wipers, Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) and remote start.
The MKZ's 3.5-liter DOHC 24-valve aluminum Duratec 35 V6 delivers 263 horsepower and 249 pound-feet of torque through a smooth-shifting six-speed, wide-ratio, multiple-clutch automatic transmission. It boasts variable intake-valve timing, a dual-plenum intake manifold and a relatively high 10.3:1 compression ratio to optimize its balance of performance and efficiency.
3.5-liter V6
263 horsepower @ 6250 rpm
249 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4500 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 18/27 (FWD); 17/24 (AWD)

"I love my 2010 MKZ. I have owned this car for 3 years and have no complaints. I have AWD which is amazing in our heavy snowfall. The heated seats are also a blessing. I am so glad I went with a Lincoln instead of an import."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 18,300overall rating 10 of 10rating details
Pros: "comfort, mpg, quietness,handling"
Cons: "high rate of depreciation,chrome overlay on wheel"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"This is the best car I have ever had for long-distance trips. It is very roadworthy, not requiring constant attention to the "helm". The ride i s controlled without being harsh. Everything is within easy reach. The seats are very supportive and comfortable. Climate control is great. A bonus is the great MPG. On two, three thousand mile trips, it averaged 30mpg while driving 75-80 on the Interstate. The average includes a minimal amount of driving at destination. High mileage was 32. Not bad for this V-6. Is this a great car or what? The car is quiet!"

Pros: "nice looking body"
Cons: "doesn't hold value"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 1
"this car lost value due to a restyling on lincolns part - suspension on this car is awful - never take a long trip in it - not comfortable - would never buy another lincoln - they certainly did not protect their consumer who owned lincolns prior to 2012 as I was told that because of the restyling, my 2009 dropped dramatically in resale value... I paid $26K for this car in 2012 and have been offered $12500 on a trade in 2014 towards another lincoln..seriously?"

Very hard cliff for me to find (im color blind to red/orange so the trail markers were hard to see) jakob found em for me though... really the hike would be no big deal if there was a trail...
Much of the crag is a bit crumbly, i might have added stars for solid rock... this should get better with some traffic...
overall, a good crag but i wont be back too often...

|Agree, it's a nice place to check out for a change of scenery and to get away from the crowds while still being able to clip bolts. One thing is nice, you can go up with just a half rope and small rack of draws. The routes are short, but end up being more fun than they look for the most part..not really a place you will want to go back to often though. One and 2 star routes in a nice spot. Tim, you are nuts. 3 stars? :) We are going to have to have a 7 star grading system.

|The "trail" has gotten even harder to find... if anyone goes up there it would be great to bring some trail marking tape and freshen it up... i will if i go back but now that i've done all the routes i don't know if i will be up there again in the next decade...

If the trail was well marked, this would be an ideal crag to bring new climbers and initiate them to rock climbing. the routes are short and moderate in grade. That would help the Parking Lot crag and The Meadows.
You can spend the day on a nice ledge with a great view over the valley.
Too bad I just read Lee's comment about putting new markers on the trees to make the trail easier to follow. I will try to go for a hike on a rest day and mark the trail so its easier for people to find.
I really liked the 11b and the 10d. Both have interesting moves at the top.
I never encountered as many huge spiders and wasps. Luckily, both were at a slow pace.

so after driving half way up to rumney only to remember they were blasting this week, we decided to search for this crag. to say the trail is poorly marked would be a an understatement as it took some solid guessing and some really keen eyes to pick out what orange tape was left but we made it! and were not disappointed! some super fun moderates on interesting rock with a fantastic view means I will definitely be coming back.
regarding location, here is the best way I can describe getting there (I got some pretty good beta from lee) when you cross the river park imidiately on the right (big dirt lot with a info sign) head straight across the road and trend up and right till you see a rock wall. keep that rock wall on your right as you hike up trending slightly to the left and try your best to pick out a blaze or two. you eventually cross a stream, then come to some boulders (like jeff said) and keep those on your right as well but continue to trend up and left. the last 100ft are the kicker as you are on some pretty serious 3rd maybe 4th class terrain. I would also not that I think in the height of summer this would be nearly impossible if you haven't been there before.
finally, I marked some gps coordinates that should get you pretty close if not to the cliff. 43°50'28.93"N 71°49'23.52"W
Good Luck!

Put a fork in Harry....he is done....
Sonja Morgan confronts the Countess LuAnn de Lesseps to see if she stole her man at Carole's birthday.0
Put a fork in Harry....he is done....
Why is Sonja so upset with Luann, when Sonja said she slept with Russ while Carole and he were still dating?
Sonja, Harry did you a favor. Any man who leaves his woman at a party and then tells her the next day that he wishes he HAD slept with Luann is a disgusting pig.
I cant believe any of these woman on this show are FRIENDS with such a creep.
So proud of you giving the ring back. You have your dignity. He has no class....no class.
I'm not trying to be rude, but Sonja, you are insane!!! You think you are so self-important, I don't understand how you have any true friends (other than Ramona,who sufferes from the same self-loving ways). I'm hoping this is the last season for the New York ladies, as only Heather and Carole (andLuAnn) are interesting.
Good luck!
Please go the WWHL page under shows on the Bravotv.com website then click on videos to see a clip of the upcoming reunion they have not posted yet on the RHONYC page. It's hysterical I am crying it's soooo funny.
Thank you for the sneak peak of the reunion. This clip validates everything I have thought about Sonja Morgan. First of all, I do not like Josh as a husband to Kristen but he did actually give Sonja very sound good advice on branding and marketing. Sonja says she doesn't need advice from Josh because she gets paid tens of thousands of dollars for her advice LOL. WHO pays Sonja Morgan for marketing advice? Second of all, Sonja tells Kristen that Josh might work for P Diddy but P Diddy comes on my yacht. This is where I have to put on an adult diaper REALLY we all know that Heather and Josh met years ago while working for P Diddy. Josh started his own business called EBOOST you would have to be blind not to know that......... every scene that Kristen or Josh was in literally had EBOOST product placement LMAO. Third of all, Sonja doesn't have a YACHT. Sonja has now left the planet and has landed back in time when she had a yacht but can't keep the time frames separated.
Uh Oh..... Quotable quotes from Le Countess: "Oh right, I just break up with Jaque and I'm going out on the town with Harry! Right" - " I just broke up with Jaques and I wanted to go out and have fun!" ...In less than 5 minutes of the conversation. WoW. And I loved :" I would NEVER do that! ........to you" Haahaa I'd do it to someone else but not to YOU, Sonja. Sure Countess. You're some friend.
So interesting that this season LuAnn pleasantly dialed back the pretentiousness & brought some genuine, heartwarming & occasionally comical realness while Miss Morgan did the exact opposite. I hope LuAnn continues to move in a true, positive direction. Sonja needs to get off whatever koolaide she seems to be over indulging in. She presents as increasingly off the rails bordering on unhinged. I'd take lunch or travel with LuAnn in a heartbeat, Sonja....not on a bet.
Dear Sonja,
I wanted - no needed - to write you this letter. YOU DONT NEED A MAN LIKE HARRY. He's a guy that will NEVER COMMIT TO ANYONE - the only.thing he will ever be committed to is HIS OWN happiness and satisfaction. YOU ARE TOO GOOD FOR HIM - DUMP HIM and find someone who can appreciate you for the wonderful woman you are!
@FrankTucson Uhhhh... no she didn't. The infamous "facialist" said Sonja slept with Russ. You must have blinked or perhaps missed what actually transpired due to the shouting and screaming accusations. The truth is secondary, remember??
@irisheyes185 I will never understand what any woman would see in Harry. Nothing but a rich old lush who couldn't be trusted.
@irisheyes185 It's called a quid pro quo (something for something in Latin) arrangement amongst USERS. Simple as that. If that's their standard of sophistication I'd count myself lucky to be viewed as backwater.
@Kymmie Totally agree. Love Carole, LuAnn and Heather.
@KMCoffey Sonja has lost all grip on what is real. Used to be funny. Now just sad.
@Francesca@Grosvenor1 You must have missed it that LuAnn didn't "jump" in the Taxi with Harry. She and Heather and Carole left and HARRY jumped in the Taxi with them.
@Francesca@Grosvenor1 I cringed at the 'I'd never do that...to YOU' comment but wasn't surprised by it. LuAnn's skeletons have been rattling for awhile. At least she owns some of her choices while SM & RS persist in presenting viewers with pee while expecting us to believe it's rain.
@Francesca@Grosvenor1 The story changed how many times? Then big mouth Heather lied on WWHL and said they were all in the cab. Her and the countess should have collaborated on their stories.
@Francesca@Grosvenor1 At the end of the day, Lu left with the ladies and Harry jumped into their cab. Sonja once again, has a hard time with her grasp on reality.
@cars121 I so agree. I've really enjoyed LuAnn this season.
@cars121 Genuine, heartwarming comical realness....who? If that's code for nasty, backstabbing behavior then yes. . Lulu found comfort in the girls with the largest teeth and most trash to say ( with the exception of Kristen who just nibbles at ankles and barks). Tides will turn in this franchise. After undies are sold and books hit the stores, and hubbys don't have to push their wives out on a reality tv stage for product exposure, Le Countess will have some high calorie humble pie to eat. Her friendship with Ramona and Sonja goes back farther than her contrived association with the "young set". Comical, yes. Real? never going to happen.
@cjrosciano471 My opinion exactly. He is a creep. What he did to Sonja is despicable. However, in the long run, she should be very happy to find out for herself, before it was too late, what a creep he is.
I agree what you said about Sonia..... she can find someone better.....
@email@example.com @irisheyes185 Thank you for putting that so simply. I totally agree.
@cars121 @irisheyes185 ....If a person gives babysitting services in exchange for legal advice, is that USING? I suppose it comes in all forms. You keep coming back for more each week so there must be some titillation. As far as "sophistication" is concerned, every one of these ladies have clawed their way up to their zip codes, generally by marriage. ( with the exception of Aviva who came from a few bucks, but look what raised her???!) Their level of sophistication is learned late in life mostly by observation of those whom they think are the echelon of New York Society matrons who, by the way, do not appear on reality TV.
I agree with you it's just sad and delusional. Sonja wrote in her blog.
One of the reasons Harry wants to nail me down right now (no pun intended) is because he knows I am ripe for the picking. I have had a fabulous year! I am feeling strong, and I have never felt better about everything! After that morning I was feeling so grateful to all the people who support me and want to see me do well. SONJA wanted to get married HARRY did not want to marry her or commit to her it's all an act. Sonja is ripe and always ready for one thing WE all know what that is SHE puts herself out there and flirts to the point of being raunchy
@cars121 @Francesca@Grosvenor1 uhhhhh ...what?
@Rubyjean4 @Francesca@Grosvenor1 You might want to check out Sonja's own twitter page, where she admits they ALL went dancing after Carole's party, INCLUDIG Sonja! She also admits that is where she twisted her ankle while dancing drunk! Luann did NOT leave with Harry!
@Rubyjean4 @Francesca@Grosvenor1 Heather just like to hear herself shout.
@ElsieKowbell @Francesca@Grosvenor1 Exactly the way it happened. I guess Francesca slept through that part. Lol
@Francesca@Grosvenor1 @cars121 In the context of this show, I stand by what I said. Everyone on the show has an agenda. Your periphiral familiarity with some if not all of this set informs you in a way regular viewers can appreciate, including myself. You've been fairly direct with the rancor, which may or may not be justified. One has to wonder if it's because you plan to serve that high calorie humble pie or if one of the sources of the rancor may be that you will only be sitting at an adjacent table doing what we all do here....observing.
@cars121 @irisheyes185 I would say that exchanging baby sitting services with legal advice is getting value for value. I would also say that getting Harry in any way is valueless. Yuck.
@Francesca@Grosvenor1 @cars121 @irisheyes185 You confuse the description of 'the act' with the description of the ACTORS in this case Pay more attention reading what is posted so you can more effectively move to your true intention. Not biting at the chum you're throwing. I didn't fall off the pumpkin patch truck, despite not rising from or to that echelon I'd bet money you're a part of, with very, very green eyes. Nameste! Breathe!
@KMCoffey Who the heck describes themselves as "Ripe for the picking"? That is just low and base. And juvenile.
@wirewrap1 @Rubyjean4 @Francesca@Grosvenor1 Whether Luann left with Harry or not, what he said to Sonja the next day about having " wished he had slept with her " was so low class.
@Francesca@Grosvenor1 @Rubyjean4 Lol it seems you do too!
@cars121 @Francesca@Grosvenor1 The "Pie" has been served, nibbled and swallowed and served again with the airing of these events which took place a year ago. In the famous words of Bravo, "Watch what happens next". Tune in to the Reunion and mark your calendar for next year's premiere. You won't want to miss a second!
@cars121 @Francesca@Grosvenor1 @irisheyes185 oh my, where did that come from? ( hold on... I'm breathing...) True intention? It's moving? What's a chum? Where am I throwing it? ( I usually don't throw things....sorry) So happy you're not falling off trucks, pumpkin or otherwise > The green eyes has me confused and my best advice would be not to bet money on anything, (ie: horses, card games). But I liked your Latin!
@ElsieKowbell @KMCoffey Clearly one who doesn't recognize that in fact the terms 'lowest hanging fruit' or 'too long / rotting on the vine' are far more applicable. LMAO
@cars121 oh.... and Hollaaaaa

I always thought it was because of the ports. Most of the federal taxes were collected at the ports, and the overwhelming majority of ports were south of the Mason Dixon line. The federal government would have been bankrupt had the south succeed, and that's why they couldn't let the south succeed. Now if I could only remember where I read that?
Col. John S Mosby (The Grey Ghost) never surrendered either.
History is riten by the victor just like most wars the civil war was not fought over slavery and racism as the government would love all to believe. it was about a Government pushing people to far and Money when the south asked Lincoln to secede from the union in peace Lincoln replied who will pay for the government. Southern Blood runs deep in my family I can trace it back to Jesse James and other kin. The Confederate Flag still waves proudly over the farm always will!
There were millions of acres of yet to be settled farm lands in the Midwest. Cotton farming was fading. Sons of Northern Free Farmers were subject to smaller non profitable farms.
The conflict then was Slave labor or Free Family Farms in the New West. Lincoln represented the Free Farm movement in the Midwest. The rest is history.
to each his own belive the BS you want Hock ive never cared for your nonsense input on anything! I will keep telling people the REAL TRUTH FOR THE SOUTHERN CAUSE
The war is over, guys.

And by the way Birch, that's not the Confederate flag ya got there. Nor flying on your farm as you might have found out since I brought it up...
