Welcome to ALL THINGS CHTHONIC

ALL THINGS CHTHONIC is a group for anyone interested in the morbid and the macabre.

I welcome thoughtful, informative, or fun posts on books, movies, poetry, short stories, photography, music, or art that deals with anything that is chthonic, morbid, gothic, macabre, uncanny, and horrific—that which unhinges the mind, curdles your blood, and chills the very marrow of your bones.

Other AoM discussions of interest:
Bad Ass Movie Monsters and Villains
Classic Horror Films
Countdown to Halloween... the Theme Song!
Gender Theories on Zombies and Vampires
Lovecraft: Considering a writer's values along with his skill/influence as a writer
Most Disturbing Scene
Schadenfreude. Or, why do we like to watch bad things happen to good people?

This looks low budget, but not terribly executed.

I saw House of Wax. It is creepy but predictable and the best part is when Paris gets killed. I wont tell you how, lol.
Comment by Dallas the Phallus on September 1, 2011 at 5:31pm

Insidious won't bowl you over, but it's not the worst I've ever seen either. It's very contrived though. 

 

I saw House of Wax at the library the other day, but it has Paris Hilton in it, so I didn't pick it up. Has anyone ever seen it?

Comment by Scott Omega on September 1, 2011 at 5:09pm

DG, I agree with your review of Audition.

I read so many people loved it, calling it "stylish". That is the new slang for boring.

I have not seen Insidious.

Comment by Dallas the Phallus on August 28, 2011 at 7:42pm

Last week I watched the Japanese film Audition. Don't bother. It was slow, boring, and a big disappointment.

 

Also watched Insidious, but it was basically a remake of Poltergeist, and not nearly as well done. It was just so-so.

I don't think I've ever seen that one -- though I kind of like Terrence Stamp, normally.
Comment by Scott Omega on June 2, 2011 at 10:08am
I saw the original with Terrence Stamp, where he keeps this hot redhead in some dungeon. Very slow with a weak plot.

Taking credit for community projects?

Brethren,Please give me your thoughts on this issue.I'm the outside events coordinator for my lodge. Yearly I chair charity fundraisers for local nonprofits.I'm also swimming in student loan debt and have recently learned of opportunities through Americorps that, if I were to claim and get signed time sheets for my hours on projects, would qualify me for student loan repayment (approximately $2400.00 for 700 service hours).We advertise our events on the news, radio and online, do mailings and…See More

Tamar Gendler: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Politics and Economics

Tamar Gendler, Department of Philosophy Chair at Yale University, Cognitive ScientistWho gets what and who says so? These two questions underlie and inform every social arrangement from the resolution of schoolyard squabbles to the meta-structure of human societies. They are also the basis of political philosophy. Professor Tamar Gendler uses the work of three titans of the discipline, Thomas Hobbes, John Rawls, and Robert Nozick, as a lens to guide us through the taut debate about the role of…See More
