f you surf on over to the NYCHorrorFestival channel, you’ll find a number of selections from the 2002 and 2003 installments of America’s largest genre film fest. It’s got a little something for everyone, from red-meat bloodbaths to classy supernatural thrillers. Here are the highlights:

The handsomest flick with the swankiest production values would have to be Deadline, a creepy-kid chiller by the Italian filmmaker Massimo Coglitore; you’ll go all goo-goo eyed watching the film’s lush 35mm exteriors. In the same subtle vein is Two Story House, about a first-time homeowner’s encounters with things that go bump in the night. The starring role belongs to Anna Maggio, an outrageously photogenic beauty with Lizzy Caplan’s emo vibe and Nicole Kidman’s close-cropped hair from Birth. This actress looks fan-fucking-tastic in a Batman T-shirt. Do you hear all this praise coming your way, Anna? See my contact info below.

For all you Hillary ‘08 supporters, there are a few feminist-revenge flicks in the tradition of I Spit on Your Grave and last year’s Rosario Dawson vehicle Descent. Subway is an effective turn-the-tables-on-your-attacker thriller that builds to a genuine jump-and-scream moment. Tomorrow’s Bacon sounds like a gorehound’s wet dream, but it’s actually the most purely dramatic offering of the bunch, detailing the bitter end of a violently broken marriage. Not since John Dahl’s Joyride has a movie made stopping at a roadside diner such an unsettling experience.

If all you want is blood-and-guts splattered all over the screen, then check out Disposer. The movie starts off with a phone-sex caller making his way through an automated menu. Just wait until you see who – and what – is on the other end of the line. Sickest joke ever. Plasticity 1.7 is a bio-terror chamber piece reminiscent of Tetsuo and the early work of David Cronenberg. I have no idea what the title means, but the same goes for THX 1138 and that movie rules.

If you like to bust a gut while watching a busted gut, then Slasher Flick is the one for you. I love the ampira-esqe late-night TV hostess who lists off a seemingly endless number of sequels (Bride of Slasher, I Was a Teenage Slasher…). Cup O’ Abominations features the second-sickest joke ever. Here, you get to see the Whore of Babylon consume a cupful of entrails. For pure farce, watch the hilarious support-group mockumentary Non-Abductees Anonymous.

Click on the player below to watch Tomorrow’s Bacon, which is my personal favorite. Once there, you can link to the other titles listed in this blog.

Oh, and Anna? You can reach me at sbshupe@openfilm.com.

Teen Fashion Tips by Fashion Tube…The Fashion Tube website at SexyCubes.com brings you the best tips for buying and choosing the best fasion trends for teens.

There are many articles dedicated to fashion trends: trends for men or women, trends for kids and even for dogs. What about teens? Try to do a web search and you will see that finding nice guidelines about teen fashion trends is not as easy as it may seem. Why is it this way? The reason for this lack of information is teen fashion being more complicated than any other. Teenagers are fighting against society; they put a lot of effort to be different, but they also invent new trends and fashion styles.

The latest trend is EMO (emotional) style. EMO style is definitely for those who adore bright colors. Green, pink, red, yellow matched with black will undoubtedly make you noticeable. If you are into this style, you must have an appropriate hairdo: Zelda hairdo for girls and jet black mop top for boys. Pencil or at least cigarette-shaped jeans with studded belt is also a must-have. Rules for top are not that strict, you may choose anything you want, just be sure it’s close-fitting and bright colored. You must wear large amounts jewelry and it’s even better if you pierce your face (small lip ring would do perfectly). EMO style is perfect for those who wear glasses – it’s a great accent and EMOs love nerdy ones.



Hip hop never goes out of fashion. Music that speaks street language is definitely for young rebellious souls. Hip-hop style for teen boys and girls is rather different. Boys are usually wearing baggy pants and t-shirt, while girls chose sexy outfits. Cap is a must for both. When it comes to colors – choose anything you want. Boys usually prefer blue jeans and white-colored top while girls are totally unpredictable. Girls wear big rounded earrings and boys must wear at least one ring.

What fashion designers have come up to this season is gothic youth. Although this fashion has existed for a number of years and has been discussed in various ways, it is the first time it is fashionable. Dressing all-black, coloring your hair black, using only black makeup means or even whitening your face to make everything else look even blacker is a hot trend. Choose big shoes with chunky heels; go for metal details all over your clothing and accessories and you’re a perfect goth. No matter if you are wearing a short or a long skirt, a close fitting top or a loose one – it’s ok as long as it’s black.

Bohemian style is also fashionable among teenagers. Loose light colored clothes, wraps and wooden, stone or amber accessories will make you look like a real bohemian girl or boy. Peop…

le choose to get cross tattoos. This might be because they are a flexible design which can work well with just about any body part. At the same time, this tattoo design can fit well with both men and women. So there really is no specific gender that should wear the tattoo.

The cross is also a deep symbol to those who live in the West. This is because they represent the person’s religious background, spirituality, and even as a depiction of protection. For this reason, the design is being chosen for several tattoos. However, the decision does not end there. You will still need to decide the type of cross which you want. Here are some options.

The artwork done by the Celtic has been used to depict some of the early forms of our Bible. These beautiful works of knot lines has produced several beautiful Bible pages. For this reason, several other forms of the Celtic cross has been produced. Aside from this, there are also several different styles which you can find within the Celtic artwork and these styles can also produce several different cross designs. The most famous is the knotwork cross. However, the Celtic cross can also be made with step or a spiral pattern.

Another cross design which is being used is the real wooden cross where Jesus died on. This design can be done by simply using a wooden cross and adding a Crucifix. The designs here are incredibly powerful and can also be done in several different varieties. People who are emo and Gothic can also use the cross design by making it look more Gothic. This can be achieved by incorporating metal pieces onto the cross.

The metallic look on the tattoo can be achieved ornately by adding several shadings and shadows so that the tattoo will look like a real metal cross. Often, these tattoos are adorned with a lot of jewels and can sometimes have an almost dark, eerie feeling. While they can be on the border by being dark, they can still be done beautifully and be well designed.

Lastly, the tribal cross design is being done by using big strong black lines which have been interwoven similarly to the Celtic cross. However, the lines of the tribal cross are usually placed randomly and can either have hard or sharp turns. No matter what cross tattoos you choose, you will still need to consider your options before getting it done.

In our last article, we debated Michael Jackson’s famous costume from thriller. We’re going to continue along that track with an investigation of the Michael Jackson Bad Costume — an outfit which impacted fashion for years, and still impacts the style of some of the major counter-cultures.

Let’s give the obligatory preamble to this exam. When we’re talking about Michael Jackson, the famous King of Pop ( may he rest in peace ), there are many things that are certain about his career. His fantastic talent spanned across many areas of performance, but most notably were his contributions to musical technique, dance, and style. Each one of these might have novels written about them, so as discussed, we are going to focus in our magnifying glass on the Michael Jackson Bad Costume.

In a style very different from his other music videos, the Michael Jackson bad costume features a long haired Michael, decked all in black. The outfit is multi-layered, including a black jacket, black shirt, black gloves, thick black belt, black pants, and black boots. While I do call all of the items in the Michael Jackson bad costume’black,’ all of them also have numerous accessories or latch-ons that are silver. On the jacket this includes a wide selection of chains, loops, links, and zippers. The gloves have studs/zippers. The belt includes chainlinks. The boots have extra zippers. The pants , however , have a different highlight — red — in a stripe along the side.

What’s actually impressive is that this isn’t an outfit that is’s very well designed for coming up with. Tall boots like these, tighter jackets, hanging chains and accessories, and all these other knobs and whistles, simply don’t make for a convenient dancing experience. Then again, neither does grabbing your crotch, but unless there is a cup included in the Michael Jackon bad costume, that is’s a part of this too! All fooling aside, the King of Pop gives a particularly inspiring display in this extravagent costume.

Though our counterculture movements do not need to acknowledge it, the Michael Jackson bad costume had a significant impact in the look and style of the punk music, and later emo and goth offshoot countercultures. This video was released in 1987, years before the outfits with extra zippers, chains, and more became mainstream for any group. Though these looks were actually influenced by the tough bedecked look of biker crews and hardcore rockers, the precise variations that the King of Pop put in are entirely unique.

If you walk into a Hot subject store, or similar, you will see outfits that are similar to this, even today. Naturally, they are not matching, but the influence can clearly be seen if you are familiar with the video. The style of gloves being utilized in the video are extremely popular ( particularly among females ) in today’s punk rock and emo style.

So notwithstanding having passed on, Michael Jackson is alive in a thousand different ways. His music is immortal, his dances will always be remembered, and accept it or not, even decades later, the King of Pop is still working his way into our wardrobe. The amazingly unique and enticing style of this costume have been significant enough that fashion designers, and members of large counter culture movements, still copy this work ( deliberately or unknowingly ).

Now, with Halloween approaching, plenty of people are wanting to pay homage to the King of Pop. If you’re on the lookout for a fun outfit, where you can use some of the accessories in the rest of the year, then this costume is a great direction to go. Still, remember, if you’re going to be doing the dance — wear a cup.

I’m not old, but I’m old fashioned. Or, maybe I just long for the good old days like those before me, and like those will after me. I’m certain the music that I grew up with was probably mediocre at best, and that it absolutely grated upon the ears of my elders. Styles, tastes and the definition of what is current and relevant are always changing with the times. And for older music fans, there is always a quiet war to stem the tide of what is popular – and, maybe more interestingly, what will be popular. The most obvious document of that battle are the Grammy Awards. While now they celebrate all forms of music, they were initially designed and developed to “award” excellence to certain forms of music, and ignore other kinds – namely that new style of song called rock and roll.

So, in risk of appearing old and crotchety, I will pose this question: why is there so much crummy music being released these days? Seriously.

Now, I know that the music that I like will be considered lame and awful by most people, and I understand that. But, for the sake of argument, let’s assume that I know everything and that I am right. There are many factors that have led to the decline of the quality of music that is being released. It could be as simple as the artists being signed are just not as talented, innovative or intelligent as artists and groups from the past. There’s just no source of creative inspiration to really tap into – and that lack of resource shows in terms of the music being produced. It’s just there, and maybe that’s a reflection of the artist.

It could also be that today’s music-buying public do not have the attention spans that are required to listen to a finely crafted song or a well-though out album. There is such a bombardment of entertainment choices and options, and so little time to digest and enjoy them all, that something simple, catchy and requires not too much thought is the only way to go. One brilliant song, surrounded by filler, and you have a top selling album. But, even that argument can be quelled. Because more and more people are apt to simply download their favorite songs on their own and avoid the rest, there is no need to create a great album if only the hit single is going to be listened to.

In the old days of tapes and records, the hit songs were sometimes purposely placed in the middle of the tape or record. That forced listeners to locate the hit songs by fast forwarding or rewinding. And the listener would maybe found another gem of a song that they otherwise would never have located and discovered.

Maybe musicians aren’t taking their craft seriously anymore. It’s hard to concentrate on crafting a quality record when you have to film the reality show, design the clothes, remember your lines in the movie cameo and lend your voice to your video game. Today’s music artists – or the popular ones – now consider themselves businesspeople or entrepreneurs rather than artists and musicians. The music itself is now simply a division of Artist X international.

I know I am probably coming across as old and lame, and that I believe all music should have ended after Robert Johnson passed away. But, here’s something that sometimes puzzles me: let’s assume that EMO music is the most popular style of the day. All the top songs on all the important hit lists are EMO songs done by EMO artists. If EMO is so popular, then why is it that the most popular concerts and tours are done by older, classic groups and singers?

A group like Fall Out Boy may be popular and have all their videos playing, but compared to a group like the Rolling Stones that hasn’t tasted relevance in years, they are small potatoes. Of course, a group like the Rolling Stones will probably never be in heavy rotation or heavy requests on music and radio stations either. So, the door swings both ways.

I should probably shut my ears and listen to oldies for the rest of my life.

There is a lot to attract someone to study in London. To begin with there are some of the best Universities in the country as well as over 200 museums, stunning architecture and history and top facilities for students. London is one of the most vibrant, creative and diverse cities in the world and is a perfect place to build your future.

Studying a side, another of Londons wonderful qualities is its nightlife. No one should ever be bored in london, ever. However as a new student in London it can all be quite daunting and you may find yourself get in the habit of hitting the SU Bar and the walkabout and keeping in your comfort zones which is ok I suppose but you’d be missing out on a hell of a lot of fun and that would be a big shame.

I have constructed an area by area guide to the bars you must go for a drink in and the clubs you have to go and shake your ass in. Deep Breath…

I’ll start off with the legendary Camden Town. Camden is associated usually with Goths, Punks and Emo’s, but there is loads more going on. Camden is packed full of gig venues; The Dublin Castle, Barfly, Dingwalls, Proud Gallery, Koko, The Lock Tavern, The Round House, The Monarch, The Underworld – the list can go on and on. Every year the Camden Crawl makes great use of the long list of venues with a two day festival hosting gigs all over the area showcasing the best in new music. Acts this year featured Crystal Castles, Sam Sparro, Noah and the Whale and loads more.

I’ll pick out a couple of Camden’s best bits for you. My favourite place for a drink with my mates is probably The Lock Tavern; there is a roof terrace and a beer garden and really good food. In the summer they have a barbeque too. The music is always really cool with surprise DJ’s and residents. Just up the road from there is the Barfly, the local rock and roll sweat box. Generally the gigs there are the best of Camden’s new music scene, it’s usually rammed full on Friday and Saturday nights, drinks aren’t too expensive they have cheap shots and on their club night Casino Royale you can play roulette and win drinks.

Proud Galleries recently relaunched in a new venue about 100 times the size than the old one. Maybe that is slightly inaccurate but it is seriously huge. Situated in stables market, there are two massive rooms and then loads of seated areas in the old stables. Expensive drinks but great nights. The launch kicked off with The Enemy playing a gig and things have just been getting better and better since then.

Koko is home to club NME and Xfm do their awards show there. It’s really stunning inside and if you’re an indie scenester then it’s the place to be on a Friday night. There is usually discount for students on entry as well.

Shoreditch has become the trendiest place to go out. The area is flooded with artists, musicians, poets, photographers and fashionista’s. The vibe is very chilled and bohemian through the day times and then at night the pubs and clubs come alive. Hoxton Bar and Kitchen is home to Sunday nights BoomBox, the club that started a fashion revolution. It became the place to be with the likes of Naomi Campbell, Lindsay Lohan and Kelly Osborne swinging by to party and a tribe of regulars who dress not to impress but to gob smack. It sounds like it would be full of egos and posers but it is so open and welcoming and has free entry, everyone is there for a great time. The after party is held at Bar Aquarium, Wet Yourself. It’s basically a club playing good electro with a pool and Jacuzzi, soooo much fun I can’t even get started. Don’t forget your Speedo’s!

Also in Shoreditch its worth checking out Brick Lane. There are some great bars around like 93 feet east and cafe 1001, hosting all kinds of gigs, short film nights and DJ sets. Great food is available too.

The Old Blue Last on Commercial Street is a cool venue. It’s owned by Vice magazine and there are usually gigs upstairs most nights. Check out club night BOSH! one Friday each month. It’s free to get in and always has an awesome line up and great DJs.

Goldsmiths students have a pretty good selection of places to go down in New Cross. London’s most stylish students hit the Amersham Arms for gigs and club nights. Check out SKIPtheatre, it’s a night of live music and theatrical performances from girls who love to skip, sounds quite bizarre but it’s very cool. There are good gigs at the New Cross Inn and the Goldsmiths Student Union host some great nights too with very cheap drinks on offer.

Hanging out in central London can be a bit hit and miss. You may find yourself in a heavily over priced pub or cocktail bar and the atmosphere lacks a sense of community due to the amount of tourists. However there are some really great places to go. For the student with a tight budget I would recommend going to one of the many Sam Smith’s pubs dotted around Soho. My favourite is the recently refurbished Princess Louise on High Holborn. It is truly beautiful inside and a standard pint is two pounds! If it’s too busy in there then move on to The Crown on New Oxford Street and take your beer outside where there are loads of people gathering around drinking and chatting.

For clubbing in central London, the most popular places for students are Madame JoJo’s, The Roxy, Punk and Metro. They’re all gig venues that have club nights too, usually pretty rock and roll but there can be lots of different stuff going on too. The End is a great club in the west end. Home to Durrrr the successor of the iconic Trash club night where the theme is to be as eccentric as you can and have an amazing time. Other nights are good too, there’s a lot of variety; dub, techno, electro, drum and bass etc. And on the weekends it is open until 6.

There are also loads of club nights put on for students with very cheap drinks. There is Vodka Island at Tiger Tiger every Monday; Lost in London at The Zoo Bar every Tuesday; Game On every Wednesday at Zoo Bar and Mystik Disco at On Anon every Thursday. They are all very popular with students probably due to the low prices for drinks and the vast genre span of the music. It’s also a good place to go to meet other students when you are settling into London life.

West London has a great scene too. It is more likely to drain your bank account but there are ways to make the most of Notting Hill on a budget. Notting Hill Arts Club is home to Alan McGee’s Death Disco, the legendary punk, rock, electro club every Wednesday. The drinks are reasonably priced and it’s free to get in before 8 so definitely worth going down for. There are lots of nice pubs and bars in the area too, check out Neighbourhood at 12 Acklam Road for a mix of funk, soul, jazz, afro-latin and more.

I could go on but you’d never get any homework done, so I will leave it there. Party On!! x

There are many things that will always be manly, like stubble, red meat, and being angry. Other things tend to change as time goes on – tend to lose their manliness factor as the world changes. Before you know it, the manliest thing on the planet has been reduced to an effeminate, useless version of its former self. In the interest of protecting our readers from all things formerly-manly, we begrudgingly present a short list of those things which used to be manly, but now aren’t.

Tattoos

Once the symbol of nonconformity in a hopelessly conservative political landscape, the tattoo has now become the exact opposite – total conformity posing as nonconformity. Like when emo kids pretend they’re all total individuals that nobody understands, but they all somehow manage to look, sound, and act the same. Tattoos have taken on many different meanings in modern society: men with any sort of oriental symbol tattooed on their arms or torso are generally pretentious, pseudo-political douchebags. Guys with barbed wire circling their arms tend to be insecure assholes who probably work out a lot, refer to themselves as “badasses,” and secretly hate everything about who they are. Granted, there are still those older men who got tattoos back when they actually meant something, but they are a dying breed in the face of this new wave of tattooed douchebaggery – the men who were getting inked back in the day are forced to watch, horrified, as an entire generation of neo-yuppies singlehandedly steals one of their generational symbols and perverts it beyond all recognition.

Piercings

There was a time when a man could get a bull ring pierced into his septum and get a little respect. Those days are over. Piercings of any sort have become the method of self-expression to use for emos, Goths, and faux-punk kids all over the planet; it appears that the more boring and self-involved one is, the more piercings must result. Jesus, even women are getting piercings en masse: you find me a chick who doesn’t at least have her belly button pierced yet, and I’ll show you a chick who hasn’t yet reached her eighth birthday.

Stabbing people

In the good old days, one guy would get into an argument with another guy, the words would turn into fists, and the fists would turn into a few inches of cold steel getting mercilessly plunged into the eye socket of the weaker guy. Men would stop, and stare, and as the killer was dragged away by the cops, muttering something about unpaid debts, people would look on in awe – that dude stabbed someone. What a badass. But in a time of so-called intellectualism, fraught with political liberalism and progressive ideals, stabbing people isn’t “cool” anymore. Not only is violent crime now frowned upon, but stabbing people generally appears to be the gayest way to shuffle someone off their mortal coil: years of horror movies and bearded historians have established the blade as the number one phallic symbol of violence on earth (the gun is number two, if only because you can’t kill someone simply by forcing a gun up one of their orifices), and so it now appears that stabbing people no longer has the manly connotation it once had – and pretty soon, shooting people won’t be all that neat either. The only other option left for the violence-loving man is to either not kill people (an unacceptable decision, in every way) or to beat people to death with his bare hands.

Motorcycles

Like the tattoo, the motorcycle used to be a counterculture icon – thanks to Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda (two actors who have also lost a significant amount of manliness), the motorcycle was a symbol of freedom, independence, and rebellion. Nowadays, it represents one of two things:

-The fact that your mom bought you a Yamaha, which you will almost immediately crash

Or

-You’re a middle-aged marketing guy who joined a motorcycle club, rides your bike on the weekends, and secretly puts “Born to be Wild” or “Bad to the Bone” on repeat on your iPod Nano whilst cruising down 6th street at 41 miles an hour next to other similarly repressed middle-aged marketing guys.

Today, the motorcycle has lost literally all of its meaning. While the Hells Angels still run around raping men and women all over the countryside (and God bless ‘em for it), the motorcycle has completely lost its status as an icon of masculinity, given that those most likely to own them today are either vapid, mid-40’s men trying to channel the spirit of Easy Rider without getting more than a few miles away from home, or spoiled preppy kids who stupidly race their crotch-rockets and end up totaling them once they actually have to turn.

Leather

Enough said.

Chivalry

Whether you like it or not, gone are the days of roses, hastily scrawled love poems, and sweet serenades crooned lovingly outside a fair maiden’s window. Today, women may pretend like they want to be courted by a chivalrous gentleman, but in reality the chivalrous man has about as much chance of netting the girl of his dreams as Helen Keller has of winning a darts competition. Women want a good-looking, arrogant asshole to treat them like crap. You may think that’s overly-misogynistic, but it’s a scientifically proven fact* that once a woman finds out you are attracted to her, her level of attraction towards you drops by at least 50%. Chivalry, in all its forms, focuses on the man professing his endless love for the woman whilst doing quasi-romantic deeds – deeds that, today, immediately drive women away. It’s an unfortunate trend, to be sure, but an unavoidable one: the chivalrous romantic can write all the love songs and give all the gifts he wants, but outside circumstances aside (in this case, “outside circumstances” means “money”), the chivalrous man will end up with nothing more than his dick in his hands by the end of the day, while the cocky asshole who lifts weights and/or plays guitar chokes the girl of your dreams to death with his penis.

Special Note

This article is not meant to suggest that any man who might have tattoos or piercings or leather or a motorcycle are immediately unmanly: we simply wish to suggest that the things, the objects themselves, have lost their intrinsic worth as objects of manliness. If we were to see a 300 pound guy with tattoos and piercings, wearing a leather jacket and holding a knife, we’d still be very, very scared of him, and would certainly be in no position to doubt his manliness. One can possess all these pseudo-manly traits and still be the baddest motherfucker around – it’s just that the actual objects themselves no longer mean what they used to.
