Get Pinned – Pinhead Makeup Tutorial
No doubt you’ve seen Hellraiser or followed the entire Hellraiser series of horror flicks. Have you ever thought about going to a Halloween party, horror film themed club night or a Hellraiser event at a Horror Convention made up as Pinhead? Other than buying a Pinhead mask, has the idea of recreating the actual Pinhead look seemed to be both daunting and dangerous? Unlimited Elizabeth, a makeup enthusiast and custom jewelry designer, delivers a Pinhead Halloween Makeup Tutorial which details step-by-step instructions on transforming into… Read More »
Face Off – Hell Freezes Over
Face Off presents us with a tried and true horror challenge – design a demon. Then, like meddling studio executives, they throw a curveball at the contestants after they’ve already begun their designs. Hell has frozen over. Last season, Face Off liked to do this foreshadowing thing where they’d start off an episode with a contestant saying, “I haven’t won a challenge yet, so it would really mean a lot to me if I won this week.” Then they’d win. They did the same thing… Read More »
The Following Episode 2: The Saga Continues
Episode two of The Following, titled, “Chapter 2”, was aptly named. As we continue serial killer Joe Carroll’s (James Purefoy) ambitions of writing a sequel novel featuring Ryan Hardy (Kevin Bacon) as his flawed hero, we see the monstrous machine that is Carroll’s plan as its gears begin to turn. When we left off last episode, security guard Jordy had approached a young woman. Now he tells her he needs to check her windows and secure her house because Carroll is on the loose. She… Read More »
Lost Girl – ConFaegion
In this week’s Lost Girl, Bo, Dyson, and Tamsin regress into giggly teens, and I suffer intense disappointment when the show’s TV-MA content warning doesn’t mention nudity. The overriding theme of this episode is “Kenzi among the supers.” It seems the Morrigan really has it out for Bo, and has been sending wave after wave of dark fae to take her out. No problem for Bo, but human Kenzi’s starting to fray around the edges. All her buddies are fae with crazy powers, and they… Read More »
Killer Clown Makeup Tutorial
There is a glut of alt makeup tutorials on Youtube: goth, emo, zombie, alien, horror FX, split face, etc. Some TUTs are extremely detailed and helpful for you to use to create the look you seek or simply to view for entertainment. Others are lame video fails. Let me tell you about this amazing FX artist I found when I was cruising for the best Killer Clown makeup tutorial, Melissa Bernard! Melissa is a certified make-up artist (MUA), not just a girl who paints her… Read More »
The Following Pilot Episode
Fox’s new series, “The Following”, debuted Monday, January 21. Labeled as a drama, it also incorporates elements of horror and suspense with a storyline revolving around a serial killer. This is not your run of the mill serial killer, though. Joe Carroll (played by James Purefoy) is quite prolific and just happens to be an ex college professor with the ability to use his astonishing speaking skills and good looks to lure his victims and, later while in prison, gain a massive following to carry… Read More »

American Horror Story: Asylum Episode 13 Madness Ends
The end is here, folks. How will it all tie together? I was so eager to see that I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen. It was a sad and somber finale, but it was also satisfying to see some closure for many of the storylines that had been left open. I really felt for the characters this season as I watched them go through such horrors, and in “Madness Ends”, Murphy and his crew delivered a sweet, sometimes touching, homage to the second… Read More »
Face Off – Heroic Proportions
Face Off tries to create superheroes again, this time meeting up with some actual comic book artists at San Diego Comic Con to give the contestants a creative nudge. Last season, the superhero episode used cars as inspiration. This time, the contestants have no real directives, but they meet with DC Comics publishers Dan Didio and Jim Lee and a host of top notch comic artists (David Finch, Mark Buckingham, Nicola Scott, J.H. Williams III, Cliff Chiang, and Tony S. Daniel). The creative character ideas… Read More »
Lost Girl – SubterrFaenean
Lost Girl goes underground for “SubterrFaenean” while single-handedly supporting the entire Canadian push-up bra industry. I’m actually going to talk about folklore and the limits of Lost Girl’s progressiveness this week, but I figured I’d start off with a boob joke. Kenzi and Vex are visiting some kind of underground sightseeing club thing with Kenzi’s human friend Ozzy. Ozzy points out that Vex looks like Robert Smith, and my wife observes that Vex is essentially Spike from Buffy. During the show, people are snatched away… Read More »
