Spechtreum I

SCREAM
Undoubtedly, one of the best horror movies to scream along in awhile.
Scream incoperates all of the cliches of Horrordom, but manages to utilize
them as they were always meant to be. Scream is a combination between
Halloween & Friday The 13th, but contains a cleverer plot instead. There
are many interesting twists & turns that are quite delightful in their ingenuity.
Drew Barrymoore makes a cameo appearance, & meets with a creative demise, that
makes it a first for a killer thusfar. Speaking of the villain, the killing techniques are
very interesting to watch, & is quite the psychological terrorist, that actually left ME
impressed! Linda Blaire also makes an appearance.
Scream is very engaging, & will make for a perfect evening. Indeed, I found My date
clinging on to Me on more than one accasion ----- more than usual, that is.
The ONLY dissappointment, was there really were no erotic scenes, & no nudity
whatsoever, which would have made this movie perfect. Besides that, however, Scream
is a scream.
There is pleanty of blood, suspense, & shock to go around throughout the whole movie.
So there isn't the stagnant boredom that plagues many of the other movies, but instead,
the suspense is constant.
No matter which way you slice it, Scream is a classic.
RAWHEAD REX
Brutal. Gruesome. Chilling. Bloody. Inspiring! Just the way I like it!
Everyone should watch this video in the dead of night ----- especially
cross-huggers. This is a horror film with a message. One that they don't
want to hear, because it is the truth, & they choose self-denial. After all, for
xians, self-deception is bliss.
Rawhead Rex, a Primally Pagan, pre-xian creature, worshipped, according to the
movie, by ancient peoples as a Dark God, the Lord of Death & Savagery. But he is
not without his persuasive charms of fascination. Like Dracula, he possesses powers
of mental manipulation, to coerce, & set his victims in awe. An ideal balance betwixed
mental & physical might. Satanimalism. Besides the hypnosis, Rawhead is a
barbarous beast. A onsterous daemon of havoc & chaos. The personafication of
Abaddon. He goes about the Irish countryside ripping & tearing his preys asunder, &
feasting on their still warm bodies.
The movie is repleat with religious symbolism & folklore. Yay, even upon the
stained-glass windows of the church, there lays the Pagan history of the Terrible One.
He that was here before the accursed missionaries came. Even the church was built
atop a Pagan Templewhich was defaced by monks, but they could never keep this evil
down for long. Rawhead bursts from the primal shrine, an obilisk, symbol of fertility &
might, onto the earth from below, to horrify the disbelievers, & put them in their low
places. "My death fortells My return!".........That they may hear their own
heartbeats, pounding fast, so long as their blood doth flow. That they cherish their
breaths, for any one could be their last. They are set to run like deey before the hungry
roaring lions.
The typical irresponsibility of mortals without foresight, who constantly ignore the
warnings of the wise, until the great calamity is upon them, at which they stare blankly,
with stupified bambi-eyes, into the face of their slayer. Thus, they learn in the harchest
of ways.
Everything is subject to interpretation. Therefore, to Me, Rawhead Rex represents
the ultimate Satanic Predator. Unstoppable. Immortal. Invincible. Merciless.
Insatiable. And thurough. Satanists would do well to take a lesson from this
character, & apply certain traits to practical measures in One's life. For he is made of
the stuff of nightmares, from which we too have been fashioned. We represent such an
awesome & terrible force, that the multitudes cower before us, & only the suicidal dare
to stand & defy. Our heritage is forged with honor & pride, a dark legacy of pleasure
& pain, wrath & victory, strength & might, blood & gore. We are the monsters that
simple men seek to evolve to, or, bewrought with jealousy, envy, & frustration, seek to
veinly battle. We stand as the constant threat to their false securities, their chosen lies.
We are the dark angels of truth. The truth that we are hunters, & they are the hunted.
We are true to our natures, & inherantly operate according to the Law of the Fang.
They aspire to that which is not, & such as they are not, so they build white walls of
deceit & fancy, thinking that they are safe from Our influence. But alas, the barriers
come loose by Our, & their very own doing, & they suffocate in their own lies.
Whatever the case, for them, death is certain & premature. For us, life eternal, world
without end!
Rawhead Rex has all the elements that makes a horror show stimulating &
entertaining. Fun for the whole family. So fill the air with the sounds of terror &
torment......& maybe, if you are fortunate enough, or unfortunate, depending upon the
person, or sub-vital, you may attract some of those "evil spirits" that the sanctimonious
scumbags hack about.
Don't believe the BS-DP at the end. They put those kinds of ideologically
unrealistic endings to prevent people from crapping all over themselves, & again, to
preserve them in their little "happy-sunshiney" world. Just another pre-determined,
pre-programmed, pacifying outcome. The "meek & the weak will inherit the earth"
type of nonsensical bile. This marauding mortifier will give the weak of heart a good
cardiovascular workout. Beware, lest Rawhead smell the fear.........
BLOODBATH
From the getgo, it is easy to see The Black Pope's & The Church of Satan's
influence in the media at that time. The first two segments illustrate this in the most
obvious means.
The first shows a "Warlock" beseeching The Lord of Darkness to manifest, as a
faire maiden is tied down to a coffin serving as an altar, in the background. It's straight
off the COS advertisement poster, "Satan Wants You".
The second segmant shows a Satanic marriage, between a gentleman & The Devil's
daughter, this, no doubt inspired by the highly publisized COS marriage of Judith
Case & John Raymond, that was officiated by Dr. LaVey. The actor playing The
Devil bears a resemblence to LaVey, but is on the short & stocky side. By the way,
nice horns! Unlike Dr. LaVey's cowl, which is made from genuine bone.
The rest of the movie deals with assorted freaktales of comical & disturbing
proportions. One of them, dealing with a goatboy, the abominable product of the movie's
marriage, no doubt served as inspiration to the Saturday Night Live character by the
same name, & The Weekly World News' "Batboy".
Movies such as these are just not made anymore, so viewing Bloodbath will prove to
be a unique cinematic excursion into The Devil's Carnival, & morbid museum of
freakery, in that distinctive late 60's early 70's flavor.
HELLRAISER III
B l o o d l i n e s
The continuing saga of Pinhead & The Puzzlebox abysmal. Gone are the
idiotic bimbos & high-school morons. Instead, we witness the creation of the
box, & the black box, & the Black Magic that brought it forth from an evil
Warlock, & a truly wicked succubus. The Toymaker who fashioned it,
becomes Pinhead's arch-foe, as it has been throughout the ages. Hellraiser 4 takes us
through a timewarp to the past, present, & future. Throughout time, you shall witness
the blasphemy, the sacrilege, & the unholy mutilations, always creatively executed upon
those who dare challenge Hell, & its abysmal residents.
The mutilations, eviscerations, lascerations, & decapitations are masterfully presented
herein. Mr. Barker really manages to outdo himself with this, in My opinion, the best
Hellraiser to date.
I particularly enjoyed this movie, because it gives Pinhead plenty of opportunity to talk
& philosophize, much like the LeCroix of Forever Knight fame. Indeed, it a die-hard,
hard-core fan is so inclined, a book can be created based upon His dark observations.
Keep on manifesting those wonderful nightmares, Mr. Barker, your place is assured
amongst the Infernal Legions. Amen.
THE PROPHESY
The Prophesy is a biblical Twin Peaks for sure. The whole intriguing
plot is linked to a deceased Colonel, who, in essence, has become the Lora
Palmer, as it were, who is the valuable key to the "second war in heaven".
He was a diabolical Black Magick Magician who sacrificed some of his own
soldiers to gain power, & impale angels as sacrifices. He seemed to have been a sort of
Antichrist. Thomas, a saint turned angel, is saught after by a wicked Gabriel, who
developed a Luciferian attitude, after getting a taste of the mortal world, & by an
incessant envy that the "talking monkeys" {humans} are in "God's grace", & he is
not. So he goes about poutting any to sleep who get in his way, & employs zombies to
do his work.
The human-hero is an ex-priest turned cop, who accidently becomes involved by divine
intervention. He becomes Gabriel's nemesis, attempting to foil him at every turn.
Apparently, he is also clairevoyant, for he receives morbid visions of Angelic
impalement now & then.
He takes over where Thomas left off, after being scorched by Gabriel, for protecting a
little girl who houses the soul of the evil Colonel, placed within her by a "holy kiss"
from Thomas. The battle wages, angel vs. angel vs. mortal.
Lucifer makes an appearance, & eventually rips Gabriel's heart out {the only way to
kill an angel, according to this movie}. He looks like an evil jesus, interestingly
enough. The whole movie contains an ominous undertone to it, a-la Twin Peaks, &
much of it takes place in the boonies.
The Prophesy is a parapsychological thriller, & a brain-stimulator, as the plot is
somewhat complex, yet brilliantly executed. It also has the tendency to bestow
Deja-Vu chills.
MIDNIGHT OFFERINGS
The little sheep from Little House on the Prairie, Melissa-Sue Anderson, has
wandered far from the flock, to portray a Satanic Witch in this gem of a movie,
Midnight Offerings. She plays an adolescent Satanist, determined to be the top-notch
students at Ocena High. She adds & diminshes whom & whatsoever she pleases, by
her Occult Powers. She has a marvellous Ritual Chamber erected in her bedroom, &
an adorable black cat familiar, She is completely covert about it, until a rival, Robin
Prentice, moves into town, who is under-developed Magically, & even tries to deny her
natural Witchery, which only works to the advantage of Vivian, who manipulates her at
will, but not without subconcious resistance. She ends up getting the attention of Dave
Sterling, Vivian's boyfriend, which invokes the wrath of the Dark Sorceress, to the
eventual point of a face-off in the school's athletic field turned execution grounds.
Robin's attempts to gain help from some dumb weakan proved fruitless against the
magnified Black Magic of the Black Witch on that Full Moon's night.
Dave Sterling remains the jock-bimbo ingrate, unappreciative of Vivian's efforts to
keep him as the star-quarterback of the High School's team, who, because of Vivian's
spells, have enjoyed top-rankin. Instead, he becomes confusedby his twisted
"morality", & veers further away from her, & into the arms of the idiotic Prentice.
There's a dramatic scene between Vivian & her weak, stifling mother, who seeks to
thwart her daughter's aspirations of success, whrein they have a brief psychic battle.
That bitch didn't even want Vivian, because she was the 7th daughter of a 7th daughter.
Her father is a good-natured, gullible fellow, who is clueless about Vivian being a
Hectite Witch, who works closely with Hecate, Dark Goddess of the Moon &
Witchcraft.
The opening scene is INCREDIBLE, & not at all as far-fetched as some people
might believe. This first scene reall sets the tone of the movie, & is profoundly
memorable.
Midnight Offerings is quite impressive, for the great aesthetics of Magic, the beautiful
Baphomet, & the demonstration of the moronic antics of the normals, who can never
quite comprehend the glory & Power We Children of Darkness possess.
This movie also has a great score, which can be useful in your own rituals &
ceremonies, if you can find it.
Midnight Offerings is yet another inspirational, Satanistic film that should have ended,
however, about five minutes sooner, to avoid the D.P.
WOLF
"There is a beast in man that should be exercised, NOT exorcised."
--------- Anton LaVey
A deeply inspiring film with beautific scenes bathed in blue moonlight. We
are taken through the forest upon insanely savage legs, seeing a bit of
ourselves through the redness of Lust. JACK NICHOLSON
portrays the barbarian in us, & what an excellent choice! He who incessantly,
& visually brings us into the blissful terrors of The Darkside of the Psyche. A lot
can be learned from this movie, from a psychological & a philosophical crouchpoint. Dr.
LaVey's "Secrets of Lycanthropic Transformation" arises to mind, from THE
DEVIL'S NOTEBOOK, in which we learn to surrender ourselves to the beast
within, thus allowing for the "civilized" part to remain stablized. Where reason &
instinct may work together likened the Ying-Yang, instead of denying eachother like the
repressive, enslaving xians have attempted to do to the human spirit / nature.
The movie moves along in a realistic pace, thus adding that bit of actuality to it, which
makes it more compelling. Nicholson plays a publishing company's boss who, upon
driving across North-Eastern U.S., gets bitten, & thus becomes blessed with the
sacred gift of Transmutation. But he & his significant other do not see it that way.
Just like the usual commoner's attitude, they try to restrict & deny the "touch of evil"
with everything from handcuffs, to seeking the coucel of an author on the subject, who
emparts a "protective" {hindering} talisman unto them. But nothing can hold the beast
back if it is pure enough!
.........I suppose this is what makes a horror-movie, though. Ironically, it is this very
so-called "curse" that saves his girlfriend from being raped & killed. I will not say
much more, other than there is very interesting twist towards the end. I derived a sense
of Pride by this monsterpiece. It is quite elevating. I know that every Satanist will
most probably relate also.
THE CROW
Two words: Tragic. Triumphant.
Out of tragedy comes the face of the morbid jester, utterly insane with grief &
rage. Possessed of the Satanic Spirit of Vengence, as the excrutiating
memory flashes again & again like a mindstrobe. Pain comes in many forms,
but probably the worst of them all is that felt at the loss of a loved-one ----- one whom
you have spent the best nights & days with, shared your most intimate moments.
There's nothing like looking deep into the eyes of your beloved, seeing & feeling the
love they have for you.
The rainy evenings by candlelight, sharing a bottle of bloodwine together. You have to
ask yourself: "What would life be without them?" Then you shall feel how deep the
love runs.........
The Crow is the bird of ill-omen for those who cross the path of the Satanist. In
Chinese culture, it is the animal that houses the soul of one who seeks justice. When
that justice is attained, then the soul is set free.
After the tragedy, The Crow returns from the dead, to right the wrongs done to him &
his beloved. He takes on the symbology of the crow, for its significance to living death,
& goes about executing the perpetrators of the heinous deeds in several creative ways.
BRANDON LEE carries the character off excellently. There's nothing like real
personality behind the characterization. What a pity it is that his movie career was cut
short by some incompenent SOB, who should themselves be shot. It is almost
inevitable, that when one is successful, there's always some devil-damned envious
peckerhead who wants to bring the king off the mountain. Bring them down first!
Before they even get the chance! They are pitiful little bits of canine feces stinking up
the place with their petty jealousies. Be rid of them, by Magical procedures, & any
other way available, & the world will be a much better place for it. Remember, if you
want something done, do it yourself.
These current noir-oriented movies are wonderful & inspirational to the Satanist, as
are other movies such as Edward Scissorhands, The Addams Family, The
Nightmare Before Xmas, & of course, the immortal Batman. There's always
something about the alienesque character, who we can relate to, that has a dynamic
ability to implement Diabolic Justice to the highest extreme. Not only the character
themselves, but where they live, as well. Those Gothic paradises of Darkness, those
irregular angles of artistry, loaded with trapezoids & gargoyles, which all disturb the
common mind, but always gratify ours. These movies also teach a profound lesson to
each & every one of us: Always be prepared. Always steps ahead of the rest, always
having something to fall back upon. These movies teach us, in their wonderfully
exaggerated ways, what could happen if the proles had their way ----- they certainly
have big mouths to threaten with. Always remember, when attacked, destroy them
utterly & without mercy. for they would probably show none to you. Recall The 11th
Satanic Rule of the Earth.
If there's but one thing I derived from this production, it is a higher appreciation for
loved ones, including pets.
In all, & without further a-due, or revealing too much, THE CROW is an
incredible depiction of vengence. These two black hearts joined in eternity, while their
idiotic detractors float in a stagnant limbo.
