Extreme Horror Video Soundtrack Action
These are two samples from 80's horror movie soundtracks, perhaps my two favorites, Tangerine Dream's soundtrack to the film Near Dark (about cowboy vampires) and Goblin's soundtrack to Argento's Phenomena (also known as Creepers). People say that guy Phil Spector had a good ear for production or the wall of sound. I think there's a bunch of music by European artists that appeared for cinematic purposes such as Goblin's work or some of Tangerine Dream's work that would make Spector cry if you played it for him in prison, to be totally honest. Actually, this post has nothing to do with extreme horror only regular horror, but I made the title that way so that the post might actually get a good number of hits. The more sincere I am about my interests, the less anyone cares.

Torture Videos! Snuff Films! Serial Killers! Psychotronic Grindhouse MADNESS with Scream Bloody Murder!
It has come to be that on this blog, the topic and real topic that gets hits consistently is an on-going investigation or meditation on the topic of extreme horror and to some extent the related topic of extreme pornography of various kinds that exist, and, as I have frequently written, this is largely true because people find my site looking for pornography. This is not necessarily even within the rubric of horror films the topic that interests me the most. I tire of writing about it, but audiences do not tire of looking such subjects up.
This is from a grindhouse film from 1973 that isn't even good for a grindhouse film. The name of the film is Scream Bloody Murder. It's about a young man with a hook for a hand who is deeply uncomfortable with sex who keeps a prostitute captive. The film completely ignores basic logic and plausibility, is super low-budget, and as such is highly entreating, especially to watch with a group of people. That's actually much more so the spirit with which I watch horror films generally.
There's the final interview with Ted Bundy done by Evangelical James Dobson from Focus on the Family where Ted Bundy argued the influence that pornography, in particular violent pornography, had on his psyche. If I continue discussing the general issues addressed in that interview through different horror films or something like the Powell family case, it will continue to have an audience. It will be reiteration but there will always be an audience for it. It's the same general stuff. You have sexual taboos about the violation of another, for example taboos against rape. I dig up some horror film that involves rape as subject matter, a woman is raped and impregnated by an alien in the film for example, and write on the film. The discussion by it's very nature must be a reiteration of the kind of themes found in the final interview with Ted Bundy, ultimately. Someone finds it looking for footage of a woman being raped by an alien. Based on the numbers that come in, I determine that this is a popular kind of blog to write, so I work on some variation on the theme. If I try something different, the number of hits are smaller, and so the cycle keeps going. My heart is elsewhere. My mind is elsewhere. But it repeats because that is what gets the most attention. I can try to make jokes of, to poke fun at Josh Powell's collection of Spongebob Squarepants porn, for example. Or for instance, here I might quote Charles Manson's response to Ted Bundy- "I've been watching pornography my entire life and it hasn't effected me"-
As groovy and psychedelic as Charles Manson is though, however, I think Scream Bloody Murder from roughly the same era might be almost equally groovy. That's some serious Psychotronic Grindhouse ACTION!

Extreme Torture! Murder Caught on Video! It's August Underground!
This is a review of the shot on video film August Underground by Fred Vogel. This film comes up and again in discussion of extreme horror I see on-line. I am not a particularly big fan of the film. I find it kind of boring, to be honest. There is this kind of predicament that I'm in where blogs on extreme horror cinema are in general by far the most viewed (at least on this text based blog, my political internet radio show gets thousands of hits) the problem being that I think I'm running out of quality films within the genre to deal with. I had said in my review of S&Man that I wouldn't review August Underground. I didn't really want to for awhile but this blog probably will get hits because a review of this film could easily be mistaken for pornography of some kind, which is a trick I frequently use just to get more hits. It's a pretty bad film though, in my opinion. No insult to Fred Vogel, I'm sure he's a fun guy to sit and watch some zombie flicks with, this film is ultra low budget, sort of slow, and generally kind of pointless in my opinion. It's a dull faux-torture-snuff video made with no money, it's nothing much more than that, and that has some audience. There are segues, but I'm not really interested at all in seeing them for any reason. Man, Fred Vogel must have really had budget constraints because he couldn't find particularly good looking women desperate to get their foot in the door to be actresses. I don't know if he eve sunk quite as low as Bill Zebub, but August Underground is pretty wretched fecal matter. This is a very stupid movie.

Raped and Impregnated by a Monster Back in the 80's Part 6: The Prometheus Factor
I have re-catogerized this post, which is really about the film Prometheus, as part of a series of reviews dealing with films from the 80's in which a woman is raped and impregnated by a monster of some kind or other. I have done this because even the fifth post in the series, about the obscure film Redneck Zombies, has now gotten over a hundred hits. Prometheus is a current film, coming out in the beginning of next month, but the topic of 80's films in which a woman is raped and impregnated by a monster came up in writing about information that is surfacing about Prometheus from trailers and TV spots, and so I have entitled the post as such so that it gets attention.
So this will sort of settle something-The space jockeys from Alien are clearly in Prometheus (the upcoming prequel to Alien) but the primary monster in Prometheus is not a Xenomorph per say but something akin with at least four different life stages that is apparently "every woman's worst nightmare". That's what Hollywood Reporter is saying at least.
I'm going to take a guess from trailers this involves alien impregnation of some kind, which has been an extremely popular topic on this blog. I find the wave of "woman is raped by a monster and gives birth to a baby monster" films from the eighties like Inseminoid, Xtro, and Humanoids from the Deep to be pretty poor films to be honest. But I found if I wrote on this films or referenced tentacle hentai (Japanese animated porn involving women being raped by monsters with tentacles) that I would get huge numbers of hits, largely, it appears to be, from people looking for pornography. Prometheus had a budget over a hundred million dollars. Based on that, I assume what we will see in Prometheus has a better quality then Inseminoid, which I've read described, I would say accurately, as a low budget British rip off of the original Alien. Prometheus has been rated R and not NC-17, so it probably won't be as extreme as films like Human Centipede 2, A Serbian Film or the Bunny Game. However, I have a feeling this bit with the new alien creature with at least four different life stages that is described as "every woman's nightmare" gets fairly gross and involves reproductive organs. As we can see clearly from the trailer, there is something alien moving down around the Elizabeth Shaw character's reproductive areas, and we hear her screaming, so I would assume from that, that that's pretty much the idea. The specifics aren't fully publicized at time of writing.
www.PrometheusForum.net by PrometheusForum This film has not been banned overseas like Human Centipede 2 was for a while and The Bunny Game still is,or within the category of films from the 80's in which a woman is raped by an alien life form Xtro was. However, I'm really intrigued, if not obsessed, with Prometheus. Xtro I can do without, to be honest. I think if we're ever going to see a mature development or well done version of the themes of alien impregnation we see in 80's films like Xtro and Inseminoid (perhaps strongly influenced by the original Alien) it's probably going to be in Prometheus and/or subsequent sequels to Prometheus which they're already talking about doing. Of course, the great likelihood is that many people who read this post will be people looking for tentacle hentai or some other form of pornography involving women being raped by monsters. Those people probably don't care at all what my opinions on things like "body horror" are. It is what it is. I don't see the attraction with tentacle hentai, but I'm very excited about Prometheus.

More Hardcore Snuff Film Video Action with S&Man
This is yet another film that uses the making of snuff films for the central plot-line. I've reviewed a number of them, and will continue to do so, just because, well, I get hits when I do. As I've said, I'm really starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel on these films. This one is memorable in so far as the director of one of the worst films I've ever seen, if not the worst, appears in this film playing himself. Bill Zebub who made Zombie Christ is in this one as himself. Also, I had plans to review August Underground, but the director of the August Underground films, Fred Vogel, appears in this film also as himself, and having seen him speak and seen clips from August Underground in it, I'll pass. While S&Man is not the worst film I've ever seen in my life, it is one that made me bored and kind of depressed.
S&Man (pronounced "SandMan") is a 2006 film that incorporates documentary footage of real underground filmmakers, as well as interviews with a film theory type named Carol J. Clover and professional specialists that work with sex offenders. There is also a fictional plot strain about a fictional filmmaker named Eric who stalks girls and kills them on camera. A big problem with this film is that Eric is kind of a composite of stereotypes and not much of a character, or at least not an interesting one. Bill Zebub gets in a good line which is "I don't shot films to be a piece of cinema, I shot these films so perverts to give me money"- and having seen Zombie Christ I can testify that that is true.
Alas, Bill Zebub, the sub-genre of horror films that use the making of snuff films- this kind of stuff isn't even what interests me the most within the rubric of horror films. I review it with a cynical reason mush the same as Bill Zebub's, although it isn't cash in my case but publicity in the hopes of getting a big enough name that I can get other kinds of projects off the ground. Carol J. Clover might be an interesting to sit down and have a conversation with, the same certainly is true of the people they have that work with sex offenders on there. I don't know if I really care about Zebub or Vogel that much. Then, of course, I've seen so many films now that use snuff films as a plot device that it would be veritably impossible for me not to be sick of the topic.
