Alternatives will range from going by road up into the beautiful mountain valleys or low level mountain walks, and the views will be just as stunning!
Just an hour from Barcelona, you will stop for a short break in the ancient settlement of Vic. Here you will have a chance to stroll around the town center with its cathedral (a mixture of styles ranging from Romanesque to neo-classical), and its magnificent renaissance and baroque buildings; or to relax while having breakfast in the heart of the town: a beautiful arched square where the market and other major events are held.
Continue up to the Pyrenees driving past the Montesquiu Castle, surrounded by dense Oak and Red Pine forests. Montesquiu Castle is a fortified building dating from the 10th century. Originally serving the military until 15th century, it later became a stately home.
Next stop is Ripoll, the founding of which has strong links to the evocatively-named Gifre el Pilos (Wilfred the Hairy), the first Count of Barcelona, who began a dynasty in the late 870's that would last into the 1400's. From Ripoll, the tour proceeds to Queralbs, which, at an altitude of 1,236 meters above sea level, is the last vehicle-accessible village on the way up to our mountain valley destination.
Queralbs has a population of only 200 permanent residents, but numbers are swollen in the summer when the age-old tradition of transhumance brings shepherds and their flocks up to the higher ground. This has been documented tradition since 1273, when the infant Jaume, son of Jaume 1 of Catalonia and Aragon bestowed the right to the grazing land on the people of the village. Here you will see the Church of Sant Sadurni de Fustanya, built from stones so perfectly-hewn that legend has it that it was built by the fairies.
From Queralbs, you take the last 6 kilometers of the impressive rack railway, construction of which began in 1931, up to an altitude of 1964m above sea level, into the stunning mountain valley, formed by the glacial action of the ice from all 7 surrounding peaks pushing downwards. In the valley is a sanctuary, originally built to house pilgrims to the valley, which takes its name from the Virgen de Nuria. Her image, was reputedly unearthed by a very persistent ox.
In the valley, you can enjoy the unspoiled scenery, sharing it with unusual birds and animals ranging from Gryphon Vultures to chamois, and golden eagles to marmots, and take one of the many different walks, of varying levels of difficulty, or you can try horse riding, open air bowling, archery lessons, crazy golf, or boating on the lake. If that seems too energetic, another option is to enjoy some of the traditional Catalan dishes available in the valley's restaurants.

Great trip. Gloria at the tour office in Barcelona was outstanding in her help with the Pyrenees tour and helping with the sargada familia tour as our tickets had been stolen. Would recommend this trip to anyone.

"Scratchy Recording but Great Story"
The B-team is the first in a series of short stories by John Scalzi. This is the first I have looked at any of his work and from a Science Fiction perspective, he has married a great storyline into a descriptive futuristic environment. The story is great an leaves much room for future stories in the series to branch out into many new plot lines.
The only negative is the audio recording. William Dufris puts in a good effort in the narration but I believe the poor recording quality doesn't allow him to present his true skills.
In short I'm looking forward to the next story in the series.

In Santiago's largest shopping mall, this open-air food court has 32 cafés and restaurants and, with the advantage of being open on Sunday, is a great alternative for a drink or meal after a movie at the Hoyts cinema multiplex. It is also conveniently close to the Hyatt, Marriott, and Kennedy hotels. Children like the ice cream at Munchi's or Emporio La Rosa and the pizzas at Santa Pizza, but there are more sophisticated alternatives such as El Otro Sitio, a Peruvian
restaurant that serves large and powerful pisco sours, and the popular Italian Vendetta restaurant, with its pasta and pizzas. All the restaurants in Parque Arauco are casual.

Gretchen Bleiler has been writing a blog for the ladies over at espnW. Her latest is a really interesting first-hand account of what happens inside the mind of a competitor trying to step up her game in competition. Last month Kelly Clark won yet another halfpipe competition at the Burton New Zealand Open, leading many to wonder if we are about to witness another season of complete dominance by the only female to land a 1080 in competition so far.
It turns out Bleiler has been working on a new trick: a frontside corked 720. According to her blog, she's got the trick dialed, and hit New Zealand ready to take the next snowboard event season by storm. But something got into her head and not only could she not pull it, her overall run suffered because of it, and she ended up taking fourth in the contest. Here are her thoughts on the matter. It's an interesting read. Check it out.

From a materials science point of view, graphene is essentially a polymer having a giant, two-dimensional molecular configuration. In this Progress Report, solvated graphene and its derivatives are illustrated from the perspective of soft matter. Firstly, the key appealing features of graphene as a molecular building block for assembling bulk soft materials are highlighed. It is then demonstrated how the intersheet interactions in solution are correlated with the molecular structure of graphene, and how a combination of the unique molecular structure and colloidal interactions can lead to simple, solution-phase approaches for assembling graphenes into a variety of macroscopic nanoarchitectures. A number of new exciting functions and applications are also highlighted, which are enabled by the solvation effect and in particular, it is discussed why and how solvated graphenes can offer exciting functions that are unattainable with the dried, hard counterpart. The discussion is concluded with some personal perspectives on the future directions in which this emerging class of functional soft materials could be pursued.

An older LO, just trying to update my gallery a bit. I put this page together to document my ongoing struggles with my faith, my purpose and my roles as wife and mother. I wanted to keep my journaling very private, so it's in a pocket on the back of the LO. I usually don't like working with pink very much, but this page just came together quite nicely.

Posted originally on Second Helping Http://www.secondhelpingonline.com
"Especially on Mother�s Day, soak it all in. Realize what it is you want to fight for; be it your mother, your loved ones, your beliefs, and especially yourself.
And if in doing so, you realize you had given up on any of them, that�s okay. Really.
All you have to do is come back for a second helping."
A year since this was written in Second Helping�s first incarnation, those five sentences are the only thing more life-changing for me than my mother�s death two and a half years ago.
Last mother�s day, my then-editor encouraged me to write about my mother Jane�s death � her influence on how I covered food and dining, why and how I left my food writing job, and how my life fell apart in the aftermath got all mixed in. The rough-around-the-edges opus is archived on this site. You can read it here.
Red-eyed from tears and Fair Trade Organic in a cup-ridden booth of a North Carolina coffee shop, I didn�t realize writing those sentences would form the foundation of this Web site and begin an extraordinary adventure. In writing about how life fell apart when my mother died, it somehow knitted itself into something better.
And my beliefs haven�t been the same since. Be it a transformative body change, a death of a loved one, any status-quo shift � reflect on your life, stare it down and then dare yourself to not got lost in the transition. Succinctly � keep stepping back up to the plate, and standing for the constant expansion of life. Yours and especially everyone else�s.
That�s what I learned in my initial weight loss, gaining a chunk back after my mother�s death, and then losing it all again and leaving the messiness of post-mom North Carolina life behind. The real accomplishment of my weight loss wasn�t that I lost it the first time. It was when my life turned upside down I chose to get back up on my feet and recreate it from nothing. The 350-lb. Russ would have chosen differently, and that has nothing to do with what I weighed but rather what I believed about myself. The irony is, it took losing the weight for me to realize those beliefs for what they were.
I think everyone realizes weight loss itself doesn�t �fix� your life on some level. But I�m not sure people realize that it does offer you a clean plate, metaphorically speaking. Within weight loss is an implicit opportunity to make your life (not just your body) something beyond your wildest imagination. Something resplendent.
Doing that requires being unflinchingly honest with yourself when you ask yourself now what? I don�t think I�m unique in this � Mom taught me I�ll be asking myself now what? every day for the rest of my life. Those don�t stop being scary questions.
But in answering them, you can build the kind of life in which your weight loss � constantly showing off the fat pants � winds up being the least of your accomplishments. That�s what I strive for, and I hope it speaks to you too.
That constant will, determination and drive to fully realize your potential, stubbornly refusing to accept anything (like your weight) as �just the way things are,� is very much in keeping with the spirit of Mrs. Jane �Will, Determination and Drive� Lane. I encourage everyone to do as she would have and raise a glass of Chardonnay in her honor today. For all the scrappy fighters in your life � including yourself.
Yet the celebrating of her life still feels hollow. It doesn�t make me miss her any less.
But sometimes, the only thing left to do is forge ahead. That�s what Second Helping is all about.
So let's forge ahead together. I hope you enjoy what we�re building here on this Web site. We�re just getting warmed up.

Coursera pushes online education in China
The massive open online course site forms partnership with China's open.163.com, social media site Guokr, and online translator community Yeeyan, to extend its online courses to the Chinese market.

Amid a boom in smartphones, the unwillingness to pay for apps makes it a challenging opportunity but locking in these users now may pay off in the long run.
China has initiated a crackdown on mobile apps that offer news services but failed to obtain the necessary regulatory approval, which are notoriously difficult to obtain.
Seen a push toward its goal to offer Internet of Things services, the Chinese microblogging service teams up with home appliance maker, Hisense, to launch an air-conditioner which can be controlled via the Internet.
Among the nine markets included in the launch of new iPhones, none showed less interest in the lower-cost model than China and Australia, where 91 percent of consumers chose iPhone 5s over 5c.
Armed workers at a Foxconn factory in China fight with counterparts from another province, resulting in dozens hospitalized and three reportedly killed, according to media reports. But the hardware manufacturer denies the deaths.
Retail prices of the gold-colored iPhone 5s have almost doubled in China's grey market, but the rest of new iPhones, especially 5c, have received very lukewarm responses.
China's Sina Weibo is still struggling to clock significant profit amid rising cost, five months after securing millions in investment dollar from Alibaba Group. Does it need more advertisement revenue or better user experience?
Sales potential of Apple's new iPhone 5c in China is expected to be bleak, with disappointment among Chinese netizens primarily focused on its high price tag.
Chinese smartphone maker unveils two high-performance devices at competitive prices to combat domestic and foreign rivals.

Who is the least of all evils and why?
Your Thoughts?
Philosophy, Ethics, Atheism, Nietzsche
Who is the least of all evils and why?
Your Thoughts?
Dr. Daniel Fincke has his PhD in philosophy from Fordham University and spent 11 years teaching in college classrooms. He wrote his dissertation on Ethics and the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. On Camels With Hammers, the careful philosophy blog he writes for a popular audience, Dan argues for atheism and develops a humanistic ethical theory he calls "Empowerment Ethics". Dan also teaches affordable, non-matriculated, video-conferencing philosophy classes on ethics, Nietzsche, historical philosophy, and philosophy for atheists that anyone around the world can sign up for. (You can learn more about Dan's online classes here.) Dan is an APPA (American Philosophical Practitioners Association) certified philosophical counselor who offers philosophical advice services to help people work through the philosophical aspects of their practical problems or to work out their views on philosophical issues. (You can read examples of Dan's advice here.) Through his blogging, his online teaching, and his philosophical advice services each, Dan specializes in helping people who have recently left a religious tradition work out their constructive answers to questions of ethics, metaphysics, the meaning of life, etc. as part of their process of radical worldview change.
I'd say Palin. Unlike the others, she isn't ideological and ultimately will do whatever she thinks will make people like her the most.
I'd look at it differently: which has the least chance of winning. That would be Palin or Bachmann, I'd flip a coin and say Bachmann. Since she's never been half-governor of a state with about the same population as the county I live in, and you can't see Russia from her kitchen.
But I'm asking about a general election where these are your only options. One of them is winning, who could you most bear to vote for.
So, you're asking me whether I'd prefer to be hanged, shot, gassed or beheaded?
Jokingly, I'd say Palin, because she'd quit halfway through her term, if past behavior is any indication of future performance.
Seriously, I'd say Bachmann, because her goals are so far removed from reality, that there's the greatest chance of Republicans disagreeing with her.
Immediately we can eliminate Santorum and Bachmann. Their rhetoric implies that they value theocracy over populism.
Out of Perry and Palin, I guess my gut says Palin. Perry seems a bit more calculating and capable of re-election.
Palin hasn't, to this point, blatantly harnessed religion for political points. She has a track record of moderating conservative policy in office.
I don't hate Palin, I just think she is poorly suited for the role of president. They all are.
I would not vote if those were my choices. I am not sure that voting does very much anyway. No one vote has but an infinitesimal chance of effecting anything, and those of us who take politics very seriously will have our votes cancelled out by those who vote without knowing very much about the technicalities of political issues.
So, unless I can vote for someone who I think represents my will pretty well, I am not going to bother. It wouldn't be worth my time.
Go with the power of the pendulum and pick the worst, then the election after that would get us back to what we want (i.e. Bush got us Obama). I'd pick Bachmann as being the most loony-tunes.
Huh? Write in "Non of the above" obviously. Non-voting means nothing but a significant percentage of spoiled ballots at least makes the news enough to show that voters are seriously disconnected to the candidates.
Hang on – if those were the only people on the ballot that means there's no democrats in which case I suspect there's been a Tea Party revolution. Time to buy tinned goods and a gun…
I'd say Palin. This Atlantic article sheds some light on what could've been.
That might be the first case where I wouldn't vote at all.
Santorum and Bachmann are xtian extremists aiming for a theocracy.
Perry is a simple corporatist that will continue to drive this country towards a Mexico-like existence.
Palin is not actual option since (like Bush) you aren't actually voting for her. You would be voting for her handlers that you know nothing about.
I'm with Rambling T. Wreck. Those are not actual options, and I call foul via false dilemma…at least it better be false…
Not meaning to hijack . . . but
Suppose you were one of the few remaining rational Republicans, and you get a chance to vote in a primary (and you really don't want any of them to be President). Which one do you pick?
The craziest, on the theory that the country as a whole will not vote for the craziest. But what if you are wrong, and the country will (and does) vote for them?
Or the least crazy, on the theory that if they win the country will then be less worse off than if the craziest won. However, since they are less crazy (but still crazy), you've made it easier for the Republicans to win back the Presidency.
I would say that who I would vote for and who is the least of evils are two different questions.
All four of them, have at one time or another, advocated for a position that, if enacted, would put me in jail or worse, just for being who I am. It is agianst my self-interest to vote for any of them, and if I had to, I would vote for the person least likely to 1) damage the world as a whole and 2) least likely to get any of thier abhorrent policies enacted via legislation.
The least evil canidate is either Santorum or Palin. Perry is callous and craven, Bachman is a True Believer and dangerous globally. Santorum is more beholden to the GOP, even if he is a RR loon. Palin is just craven.
So I'll go with Santorum as the least evil right now.
I'd probably vote for Palin, however, and here's why. I don't think she'd launch nukes, and while she'd be incredibly ineffectual in international politicing, I think she'd be equally inept at getting anything done locally. We'd be in for 4 years of mismanagement chaos, in which the second and third tier of government would be forced to take on the real problems of the day, and then we could hope that we have better canidates in 4 years.
I have sympathy for a Bachman vote, but she's crazy enough that a military order might be met with a division in the military itself. Can you imagine if our President ordered the nuking of cities in Iran, or wanted to invade Palistine? It would be so loony that internaltional action against us would take place, and I would hope that there would be military commanders that refuse the order. We'd have chaos, and that'd hurt everybody.
No, we would need someone too crazy to get anything done, but not so crazy that the insanity spreads internationally.
If we had those sorts of politicians as our only options, I'd seriusoyl be considering moving and changing my citizenship. I'd perfer to live in a country in which, if they got thier way, my simple existance isn't illegal.
Now read it using a deep voice-over as if it were a promo for a movie.
In a world with few choices.
What If Your Only Options In A General Election Were Santorum, Perry, Palin, and Bachmann?
What would you do?
I'd do what I did when I had really crappy choices and didn't want to bit the bullet, I wrote in "None of the above."
Who's the best qualified? Nobody. Who's going to look out for the interests of the entire country? Nobody. Who isn't mired in corruption? Nobody. So:
Write in Nobody.
umm…move to Canada? Or maybe Europe?
Palin, because she lacks a coherent message and, most importantly, an established path to get to a 'promised land'. She is a large, and loud, gun that fires blanks.
All the other options have strong connections to coalitions that have a 'promised land', a desired ideal state which they want to get the US to. All of them are special forms of hell.
Palin has the virtue of catering to all of the crazy coalitions withing the insane right. Which means that there is going to be a struggle, and some chance that none of them get what they want. There would even be some chance they might cripple each other and allow time for the US to wake from the fever dream that might have brought Palin to power.
Good question.
It seems wise to consider the distinct possibility that politicians don't really mean what they say. I would tend to favor a Republican that I suspect is a hypocrite. However, the presidency requires intelligence and decisiveness; qualities none of these candidates seem to have. So which of these candidates is the least dangerously stupid?
Bachman is not right. Perry is craven. I'll have to say Santorum, because I can't stand the sound of Palin's voice, and her presidency would be a setback for the cause of equal rights for women.
Rick Perry would be my choice of these four, as I explain on my blog.
Not only that, I expect him to win in 2012.
Palin, because I think she'd quit. But if we were up against some foreign crisis. Perry. As much as I have loved voting against him all these years, I have to admit that he'd probably put together a pretty good cabinet.
Fearing that would be the choice, I took an alternative and left the US. Currently live in Singapore.
It is painful to even write this because they are all so bad of options, but: Perry. The other three are just loony. While I deplore his politics, Perry is an operative, and I honestly don't believe he says everything he says (or even most of it). I'll take someone who is sane but telling people what they want to hear over someone who genuinely believes that BS.

Move aside Hitchcock, here comes Walt Disney.
Last year, AFI Fest opened with that behind-the-scenes Hollywood drama about the making of an iconic film, and they're doing it once again — albeit with a spoonful of sugar this time.
Saving Mr. Banks, about the combative relationship between Walt Disney and Mary Poppins author P.L. Travers, will open the Nov. 7-14 festival, which is considered a prime showcase for Oscar contenders.
With summer coming to a close, Oscar season is officially in full swing. James Franco, fresh from his Comedy Central Roast, kicks off the first of the "For Your Consideration" ads that appeal to awards-show voters. In a bid to secure a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for his role as Alien in Spring Breakers, the film's distributor, A24, launched a campaign called "Consider This Sh–," The Hollywood Reporter first reported.
In Spring Breakers, directed by Harmony Korine, Franco plays a kind of Spring Break Jesus, in the form of a rapper/hustler/predator of college girls — replete with chest-length cornrows and a grill, and a psycho-Southern accent.
Though not considered a leading contender for the category, a spokesperson for A24 films told The Hollywood Reporter, "James Franco has created a character so indelible it deserves recognition. We are excited to be able to support it with a campaign and know the impact of Alien will last far past this awards season."
In the ad, Franco, dressed to the Florida-swag hilt as Alien, is book-ended by two out of four of his college-age, perma-bikini-clad protégés: Brit (Ashley Benson) and Candy (Vanessa Hudgens). Franco is leaning against a white car and proudly double-fisting Oscar statuettes.
The guy who is bleeding from his side needs help. But he's not asking – he's telling.
That's the setup for the simmering drama Labor Day, starring Josh Brolin as an escaped convict who takes shelter with the mentally fragile, reclusive single-mom Adele (Kate Winslet) and her almost-teenage son (Changling's Gattlin Griffith) over the course of one long late-summer holiday weekend in the mid-1980s.
The Oscars have gone from naughty to nice.
Ellen Degeneres will be taking over the emcee duties for the March 2 Academy Awards telecast, her second turn overseeing Hollywood's biggest event. She announced the news via Twitter: "It's official: I'm hosting the #Oscars! I'd like to thank @TheAcademy, my wife Portia and, oh dear, there goes the orchestra."
Degeneres returns to the Oscar stage as the kinder, more self-deprecating comedian compared to Seth MacFarlane, who brought some much-needed edge but also divided some viewers with his more acidic, raunchier comedy style when he hosted last February.
"I am so excited to be hosting the Oscars for the second time. You know what they say — the third time's the charm," DeGeneres joked in a statement released by the Academy.
Don't look for any white smoke floating out of the head of a giant Oscar statue, but the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has a new leader.
Veteran marketing executive Cheryl Boone Isaacs was elected Tuesday night by the Academy's board of governors to head the organization for the next year. Among her first responsibilities as president will be the selection of a host for the March 2 Oscar telecast. READ FULL STORY
The desperate astronauts are reaching, scrambling, grasping at anything they can get their hands on.
They end up seizing on the viewer's throat.
Warner Bros. has released even more new clips from the upcoming Alfonso Cuaron-directed survival saga Gravity, with Sandra Bullock and George Clooney as two space walkers cut adrift in orbit after an accident rips apart their shuttle.
In an age when no one's privacy is safe, even Big Brother has to worry about keeping his secrets.
The debut trailer for The Fifth Estate, a true-life thriller about the hemorrhage of government data in the Wikileaks age, depicts the early years of the clash between the most powerful nation on Earth and a group of well-connected hacker journalists.
Judging by the trailer, the movie seems to lean toward celebrating the rebel forces of Julian Assange (Benedict Cumberbatch) and his Wikileaks brethren, but director Bill Condon (Kinsey, Gods and Monsters, Dreamgirls) tells EW that's not his intent.
"The movie presents him neither as hero or villain. We just try to present who he is and let you make up your mind," Condon says. "I think, in fact, he's neither."
Blue is the Warmest Color won the top prize at the 66th annual Cannes Film Festival on Sunday. The French film, directed by Abdellatif Kechiche, is a sexually explicit lesbian love story (read Owen Gleiberman's review here). Meanwhile, Ethan and Joel Coen won the Grand Prix for their folk music flick Inside Llewyn Davis. The Artist star Berenice Bejo won Best Actress for her role in The Past, and screen icon Bruce Dern picked up Best Actor for his starring role in Alexander Payne's Nebraska. This year's Cannes jury was headed by director Steven Spielberg.

Last night, trailer editors gathered at the Art Deco-inspired Saban Theater in L.A. to learn who would receive the highest honor in their field — the Golden Trailer. Attendees in Hawaiian shirts, sequined dresses, suits and ties, and high-heeled boots settled in around the auditorium for two hours of supercuts.
Co-hosts Rob Schneider and Aisha Tyler took turns making fun of the movies the trailers were selling, including resurrecting some punching bags from the most recent awards season, like Les Miserables. Between such outdated jokes, the audience was treated to "nano trailers" — cuts of cuts from the nominated films.
If you look forward to going to the movies at least in part because you get to watch 20 minutes of trailers, the Golden Trailer awards is for you. Here are six things we learned about this thankless, often overlooked industry and its greats last night:
Awards season never really ends
It just gets more fun! The tone at the Golden Trailers was very low-key, with lots of joking around. The nominees and winners didn't take the event too seriously, but there were still some nice moments when winners thanked their colleagues for challenging them to be more creative and push the boundaries of their field.

Want Nightmares? Watch Male Makeup Artist Transform Into Annabelle
Whether you loved Annabelle (review) or you hated it, there's no denying that the titular character – first seen in The Conjuring and based on a real 'haunted' doll – is pretty damn creepy. With long pigtails, rosy red cheeks and a sinister smile, Annabelle is hands down one of the most nightmarish pint-sized terrors the genre has ever birthed.
Nightmarish. Yea. That's a word that doesn't even begin to describe the video we've just dug up, wherein a male makeup artist uses his tools of the trade to literally transform into the Annabelle doll, right before your eyes. You have been warned.
Like David Naughton's transformation in An American Werewolf in London, this one is both horrifying and awe-inspiring, as it's truly amazing how doll-like the artist becomes, with a few strokes of the makeup brush.
London-based artist Charlie Short is the man behind the makeup, going by the name PinkStylist over on YouTube. Check out the full transformational tutorial below, which somehow manages to make Annabelle even creepier than she already was!
The post Want Nightmares? Watch Male Makeup Artist Transform Into Annabelle appeared first on Dread Central.
It's Bigfoot, and He's Pissed! Here's a Crazy New 'Exists' Clip!
From Blair Witch director Eduardo Sanchez, Exists pits a group of twenty-somethings against the legendary Bigfoot. We have a brand new clip that drops you right in the middle of an attack where said Sasquatch is going absolutely crazy!
"For five friends, it was a chance for a summer getaway— a weekend of camping in the Texas Big Thicket. But visions of a carefree vacation are shattered with an accident on a dark and desolate country road. In the wake of the accident, a bloodcurdling force of nature is unleashed—something not exactly human, but not completely animal— an urban legend come to terrifying life…and seeking murderous revenge."
The film stars Chris Osborn, Dora Madison Burge, Roger Edwards, Samuel Davis, Denise Williamson and Brian Steele and is produced by Jane Fleming, Mark Ordesky, Robin Cowie and J. Andrew Jenkins.
Exists hits theaters and iTunes on October 24.
Houses October Built, The (2014)
Starring Brandy Schaefer, Bobby Roe, Zack Andrews, Mikey Roe, Jeff Larson
Directed by Bobby Roe
Let me be clear. I am sick to death of found footage movies. The subgenre has been weakened, overdone, and generally speaking, I can't imagine anyone looking for more footage as all the interesting stuff has already been found. Or so I thought… Just when it seemed I was out, something came along and pulled me back in: the truly frightening The Houses October Built.
In it our characters, who play themselves, are about as fed up with homogenized haunted attractions as I am with first-person movies. Rather then spend their Halloween season headed to the usual haunts, they decide to take a trip to the not as well known towns who host their own spook houses each year. Our group, made up of a pair of brothers along with several life-long friends, are in search of the most extreme haunts imaginable. One in particular hits their radar that's supposed to be the apex of scares. The only problem? No one knows where it is or whom to ask for directions. This isn't something that's advertised. It's only known through word of mouth.
Once on the road, our protagonists hit up several haunted attractions, each one spookier than the next, and while there they start their pursuit of the holy grail of haunts by asking around each town. Finally they get a lead and lo and behold end up there. The only hitch? They might never leave.
Filmed in actual haunted attractions, each with their own scare-actors, The Houses October Built masterfully captures the look and feel of both the industry and the season with eerie sights and jump-scares aplenty. The film's characters are ridiculously natural, and their relationships and reactions are both fun and frightening. You really feel as if you're there with the gang having a blast. This illusion is pulled off flawlessly, and I don't think any other style of filmmaking could have done such a service to this particular movie. I will say this though… if you're not a fan of shaky-cam, you may want to steer clear as there's a lot of it, but if you don't mind or can just deal, there's quite an experience to be had here.
As with every other found footage film, you're going to have to suspend logic every now and again. That's always a painful task because you want things to make perfect sense, but here you've just gotta accept that the camera is rolling and take the ride. Believe me, it's worth it!
By the time we get to the finale, we've been thoroughly assaulted with nightmarish imagery that leads to a third act that's home to some of the most intense situations we've seen in some time. It's frighteningly real and leads you to wonder exactly how all of this happened and who was behind what. There's much discussion to be had by the time that the credits roll, and that's the hallmark of a great film.
Tis the season, kids, and this is a great Halloween-time tale of absolute terror. Revel in it!

'Annabelle' and 'Toy Story' Mashup Introduces 'Woody' (Halloween Treat)
"Now Woody, he's been my pal for as long as I can remember. He's brave, like a cowboy should be. And kind, and smart. But the thing that makes Woody special, is he'll never give up on you… ever. He'll be there for you, no matter what."
There's a new trailer mashup that's sort of a bit lazy and thrown together as click bait (well, it worked didn't it?). On the heels of the success of Annabelle, this new mashup combines the haunted doll movie with Pixar's Toy Story.
The faux trailer for Woody is clever in theory, but doesn't work until the last gag, which is why I decided to share this Halloween Treat with ya!
'The Wave' First Norwegian Disaster Movie
Norwegian director Roar Uthaug, best known for Cold Prey and Escape, is preparing Scandinavia's first disaster movie, The Wave (Bølgen).
The film, writes ScreenDaily, budgeted at $7.9m (NOK50m), will depict a tsunami that is predicted to hit Norway at some point in the future.
There was a previous instance in 1934 when 2 million cubic metres of rock fell into Norway's Tafiord, triggering a 85-metre wave, which left 40 people dead.
Currently, a 700-metre crevice in the Åkneset Fjell, aka the Fjell of Death, expands by 10-15cm annually. This will eventually result in a rockslide, creating a tsunami in the fjord and destroying everything in its path before it reaches land in Geiranger.
Filming on Norwegian locations and in Romanian studios, the cast include Kristoffer Joner, Ane Dahl Torp, Eili Harboe and Jonas Hoff Oftebro.
The script, about an experienced geologist (Joner) who finds himself separated from his family 10 minutes before he knows the disaster will take place, has been written by John Kåre Raake and Harald Rosenløw-Eeg.
The Wave will be released in August 2015 by Nordisk Film Distribusjon.
Stephen King's 'Mercy' Dumped to VOD…Today
Apparently Universal is cleaning house of old Blumhouse films as they've dumped not only Mockingbird direct-to-VOD, but now Stephen King's Mercy. Yes, both can be rented or purchased on various VOD platforms, right now with absolutely zero press. This makes you wonder if we'll finally see Blumhouse's Area 51, on shelves since pretty much a year after Paranormal Activity released (although, that's released through Paramount Pictures)…
Anyways, we now have the trailer for Mercy, directed by Haunting in Connecticut's (yuck) Peter Cornwell. It looks sort of like an Evil Dead ripoff, without all the cool deadites.
In Mercy, "Two young boys ("The Walking Dead's" Chandler Riggs and Super 8's Joel Courtney) who move with their mother to take care of their dying grandmother at her decrepit farmhouse. When they suspect that the elderly woman they love has encountered a dark spirit, they fear she might not be the only one who won't make it through the summer alive. Once George (Riggs) and Buddy McCoy (Courtney) arrive at their Gramma Mercy's (Shirley Knight), what they find inside her 150-year-old home is nothing short of terrifying. As the brothers experience deeply disturbing phenomena they believe to be the work of an ancient witch, they must fight for their lives and overcome the evil forces threatening their family."
The film stars Dylan McDermott, Frances O'Connor, Chandler Riggs, Joel Courtney, Shirley Knight, and Chris Browning.
'The Ring' Director Returns to Horror With 'A Cure For Wellness'
Ever since we were teased with a "BioShock" movie, I've been dying for Gore Verbinski to return to horror. His The Ring remake is of huge inspiration for me, and is part of the genesis of the V/H/S films.
Verbinski is getting paranoid with comedian Steve Carell in an untitled thriller that New Regency will put in production in March. But that's not all, Deadline reports that the plan is for Verbinski to follow this one by shooting back-to-back projects for New Regency. Those films will be A Cure For Wellness, an elevated horror film written by Revolutionary Road scribe Justin Haythe, and the comedy Passengers.
Verbinski, who signed the deal in April, is coming off The Lone Ranger and before that the Oscar-winning Rango and the first three Pirates of the Caribbean films.
Angelo Badalamenti Discusses Scoring 'Twin Peaks'
With the amazing announcement that Showtime has secured a third season of the cult murder mystery TV show Twin Peaks, I thought I would bring back this old interview where composer Angelo Badalamenti discussed how he sat with creator David Lynch and came up with the infamous "Love Theme" that has haunted and entranced listeners for almost 25 years.
What I love about this clip is how passionately Badalamenti recalls the exact circumstances when this piece was composed. His story conveys a deep appreciation of the power of music and how it can be used to enhance what is happening on the screen.
Much of the audio was used as the introduction to this free electronic mix.
'ABCs of Death 2′ Director Dennison Ramalho Vs. Religion (Exclusive Interview)
With Magnet Releasing and Drafthouse Films' ABCs of Death 2 now on various VOD platforms, Bloody Disgusting caught up with Dennison Ramalho, who directed one of my favorite of the 26 short films.
In his "J is for Jesus," a man is kidnapped by his own father and given an exorcism to cleanse his soul only to learn he's not the demon.
We talked to Ramalho about the genesis of his short, his hatred of religion, and whether or not he fears backlash for spiritual horror fans.
BD: You surprisingly share a very similar view on religion we me, I was wondering what promoted such, hatred?
Dennison Ramalho: "Most religions use fear as a prime tactic. I was raised in a churchgoing environment and saw how huge of a toll the maintenance of dogma made lives horrible for many people around me. So far, that's ok. Some people choose that lifestyle, all difficulties included. But then things get hairy when extremists articulate themselves in whatever manner — from "politics-politics" to "sexual politics" to "home politics", and so on… — to impose their beliefs and lifestyle on others using, guess what? Yes. FEAR TACTICS. And LIES. In comes the fear of Hell, the fear of being morally or mentally anomalous, the fear of not having acceptable moral good-standing… That's where I tell (extreme) religion to fuck off, and make movies against it. To expose all that cruelty. It's not about spirituality anymore. It's about mind control, and it's unacceptable. Brazil is a particularly cruel country when it comes to not being religious, or being gay, or being a humanist or a free-thinker. It's a mostly-conservative society pretending to be cool and progressive. It's not my first movie on the subject, btw."
BD: Are you afraid of any sort of backlash from religious folk?
Dennison Ramalho: I'm damn hungry for it!
BD: Can you talk about the genesis of the short, and the affects of social commentary on film?
Dennison Ramalho: "I can talk about the genesis of the short. About the affects of social commentary on film, well… I don't feel I know, historically that much about it. Suffice to say Romero is my great idol on this strategy, in all his zombie films. He uses Horror and Death as metaphors of ethical subjects going rotten in American Society. I try to do the same. In my previous short film (NINJAS, 2010) I unleashed a vicious attack against the Brazilian Military Police, showing them as the sadistic monsters they really are. As for the genesis of the short, I created a number of possible stories for the anthology. Some of them with my dear friend, Screenwriter Jeff Bühler (of INSANITARIUM and MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN fame). I was pretty outraged at a few evangelical politicians in Brazil at the time (basically media preachers who used their popularity to become congressmen). These fellas proposed a project of law that revoked a decision of the Superior Federal Council of Psychiatry, which banned the treatment of homosexuality in Brazil as a mental disease. In other words, if that law passed (which it didn't!) gay people would be legally considered mentally-ill and, thus, eligible for psychiatric treatment — a human rights catastrophe!"
BD: Religion and horror always seem to hit the spot, it's like peanut butter and jelly, can you speak more to this…
Dennison Ramalho: "As I said: it's all about fear of a deep Evil lurking right around the corner, or inside your mind. Religion, with ethical and compassionate approaches, always zealed for the human soul. Then fanaticism took over, and turned this zeal into hysterical dictatorial lust — you see it from ISIS beheadings to my neighborhood's chapter of the Assembly of God. But in movies the uses of the religion-horror combo are not that immoral. After all, the Devil — you beautiful! — was always there as a villain to inspire stories about possessions, the Occult, etc. But in movies there is pure evil — and I don't believe in pure evil in real life. Even Satan was an angel once, after all… However, it's one thing is to invent a black-metal demon named Baghuul for your movie, or come up with Satan, the absolute evil one, possessing little girls. The other thing is to use Fiction and the mass-media to demonize minorities, which is what these fuckers do. Well, this little movie is my personal answer to that."
"ABCs of Death 2 is the follow-up to the most ambitious anthology film ever conceived with productions spanning from Nigeria to UK to Brazil and everywhere in between. It features segments directed by over two dozen of the world's leading talents in contemporary genre film. The film is comprised of twenty-six individual chapters, each helmed by a different director assigned a letter of the alphabet. The directors were then given free rein in choosing a word to create a story involving death. Provocative, shocking, funny and at times confrontational, ABC's of Death 2 is another global celebration of next generation genre filmmaking."
Trailer for 'The Strangers' Director's 'Mockingbird'
Bloody Disgusting was excited to share with you the first ever review of Mockingbird, directed by The Strangers' Bryan Bertino.
The direct-to-video Blumhouse production is now on VOD platforms, which means we now have a trailer for the found-footage thriller starring Todd Stashwick ("Justified," "Heroes"), Audrey Marie Anderson, and Alexa Lydon.
"Three individuals each receive an anonymous, unmarked video camera and a horrific ultimatum to continue filming… or die. Experience the terror through the eyes of these unsuspecting victims, with a chain of found-footage events so real and absolutely dreadful, you'll have to watch it again to believe it."
Gore Verbinski Directing A Cure For Wellness and Untitled Steve Carrell Thriller for New Regency
Some interesting news for fans of the US version of The Ring has come in… Gore Verbinski is directing a trio of new films for New Regency, including one "elevated" horror project plus a "paranoid thriller" starring Steve Carrell. The other's a comedy, but two out of three ain't bad!
Per Deadline, first out of the gate is the Carrell vehicle, still untitled but written by Steve Conrad (The Pursuit of Happyness, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty).
Verbinski will then helm A Cure for Wellness, penned by Revolutionary Road writer Justin Haythe. (If you're curious about the final project, it's Passengers, also scripted by Conrad, said to be a "large-scale action comedy.")
We'll have more on A Cure for Wellness for sure and possibly on Carrell's thriller depending on how it shakes out genre-wise so stay tuned!

Wolves Start Howling in New Creature Pics!
Some FX stills from Wolves have arrived, and they warm our hearts in the most practical of ways. Ya see? Practical werewolf effects. That so hard, Hollywood?
Directed by David Hayter, Wolves stars Lucas Till, Stephen McHattie, John Pyper-Ferguson, Merritt Patterson, and Jason Momoa. Look for it Thursday, October 16th, on Video on Demand and Friday, November 14th, in select cities nationwide.
Popular high school student Cayden Richards wakes from a horrific nightmare, only to realize that he's living it. He is changing into something vicious, unpredictable, and wild. Forced to hit the road after the brutal murder of his parents, Cayden tries to hunt down the truth of what he is. In the remote mountain town of Lupine Ridge, he discovers others like himself – including the beautiful Angelina, a young woman caught between two ancient clans of "wolves." And when he finally discovers the shocking truth behind his ancestry, Cayden realizes there is only one way to save the woman he loves… a grisly fight to the death against forces more savage than he could have ever imagined.

Try Not Laughing At This 'Summer of Blood' Clip (Exclusive)
There's a new film coming out that nobody is talking about, but should be. It's Dark Sky Films' absolutely hysterical Summer of Blood (read our review), arriving on VOD and limited theatrical October 17.
Written, directed by and starring Onur Tukel, I call the vampire comedy "hipster-horror" – so the film may not connect with every viewer. I think this new exclusive clip is a great way to find out whether or not you should be circling October 17 on your calendar (you should). Below we have an exclusive new look at the film in which Tukel becomes a vampire. Another vampire stops him in the street and quizzes him before putting the nail in the coffin. The scene is not only gut-bustingly funny, but also has deep-seeded social commentary, something that I believe makes a movie great. Summer of Blood is easily one of the best films of the year.
"Writer/director Onur Tukel turns in a hilarious performance as the monumentally lazy, socially oblivious and commitment-shy Erik Sparrow, who is dumped by his career-woman girlfriend (Anna Margaret Hollyman, White Reindeer) when he rejects her rather charitable marriage proposal. Feeling lost, he turns to a disastrous string of online dates that successively eat away at his already-deteriorating confidence until a lanky vampire turns him into an undead ladykiller. Soon, Eric is prowling the streets of Brooklyn in search of anything to satisfy both his maniacal sex drive and his hunger for blood. A collision of absurd, self-deprecating wit and existential curiosity, Summer of Blood is a hilarious horror-comedy with a clever bite all its own."
Onur Tukel (Septien, Red Flag), Alex Karpovsky (Girls), Anna Margaret Hollyman (Gayby, White Reindeer), Dakota Goldhor (Thumbsucker), Dustin Guy Defa (Bad Fever), Keith Poulson (Hellaware, Listen Up Phillip) all star.
Which 'Alien' Character Are You?
It's no secret that the 1979 sci-fi/horror film Alien is one of the greatest genre films ever released. The amount of films, characters, and creatures that it has inspired is unfathomable. Plus, it's scary as hell and the Xenomorph has become an icon of fear, terror, and strangely beautiful horror.
Now, when it comes to the original film, each character was important and had a significant reason for being there. From Dallas, the ill-fated captain, to Ash, the treacherous android, each character brought purpose and developed the story.
In most horror films, characters are disposable, meant to be killed as quickly as possible to keep the action going. But in Alien they took their time and let the viewer see these people, see how they interacted, saw their friendships and their annoyances. They were human, they were real, and their loss was palpable. God, I love this movie…
If you've ever asked yourself which character you would be in Alien, look no further as you can test yourself and get the answer below! I took it and got Parker. Now, who's going to be the Lambert that I sacrifice myself for, huh?

Monster Magnet Release Phil Mucci-Directed "The Duke" Music Video
Sludge psych rockers Monster Magnet have released an official music video for "The Duke", the latest single from last year's release Last Patrol. Directed by Phil Mucci (Opeth, High On Fire), the video tells the story of a survivor of the Hiroshima bombing who then undergoes years of scientific experiments. However, there is far more going on and things don't end the way you'd think.
I personally love Mucci's style and work. It's always incredibly unique and visually arresting while telling a story that demands thought and attention. "The Duke" is no different and I know that you'll love the hell out of it if you give it a chance!
Make sure to preorder the band's upcoming album Milking The Stars: A Re-Imagining Of Last Patrol via Napalm Records.

The New 2012/2013 Chelsea Home Shirt
Adidas have revealed the new Chelsea home shirt for the 2012/2013 season. The major change in the Chelsea kit from previous years is the gold trim – according to adidas this is in celebration of the 2012 London Olympics (for which adidas launched their biggest UK campaign yet for Team GB earlier this month).
The new Chelsea FC home kit sees the adidas, Samsung and club crest all turned completely gold. This theme is reflected in the iconic three stripes across the shoulders and the 'CFC' motif seen on the rear of the neck. Subtle dark blue stripes also feature through the front of the shirt. The look is finished off with gold piping around the arms and neck. This design detail is repeated through the shorts and socks both of which feature golden three-stripes on Chelsea's famous blue.
As before, the adidas Chelsea shirt uses Techfit and Climacool techonlogies to ensure peak performance and optimal temperature control during games.
Question is, will Chelsea color the Premier League badge in gold as well? Isn't that something only the champions do?
The new Chelsea home kit will be available to buy on May 10th 2012 (expect Chelsea to be wearing it for their Premier League games in May) but can be pre-ordered online at the official Chelsea website. The official price is £55.
