LOLcky Horror Picture Show
(1)Every once and a while a parody of a cult classic pops up, and the cult following will usually bash it, and possibly, in a collaborative effort, destroy it. The LOLcky Horror Picture Show, for the moment is still alive.
This little site takes screen shots of Rock Horror Picture Show and adds a little icanhazcheezeburger.com flair…which creates…awkwardness?…hilarity?…I just can’t figure this out.
Check out the full site for a rather butchered, yet entertaining, photo summary of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Deja Drugs
(2)I just rented the Irish horror film “Shrooms” (2007), which succeeded in being quite scary, despite the fact that I figured out its “secret” about a third of the way into the movie (it reminded me of the French horror film “High Tension,” although I couldn’t put my finger on why I made the connection between the two).
The film’s about five American friends who join their Irish friend (who is actually English, another thing I figured out) to do magic mushrooms in rural Ireland near a closed institution that used to house a bunch of sadistic, homicidal brothers and a weird twin with a bag over his head (that reminded me of “Baghead,” which I’d just seen). One girl, Tara, eats what she doesn’t know is a “death’s head mushroom” (that reminded me of “Silence of the Lambs”), which is potentially lethal, and has the ability to take the consumer into another dimension. She goes into that other dimension resulting in bloodshed and horror, yada yada yada, one survivor, blah blah blah.

The Amityville Horrible: A Review
(0)You know it’s a bad sign when you start taking notes during a horror movie. An even worse sign is that the notes you’re taking are about how bad the movie is.
The 2005 remake of the 1979 movie “The Amityville Horror,” which is based on a true story that was eventually proven to be fiction — off to a great start! — has three major flaws: the producers, the screenwriter, and the director. As Michael Bay is one of these producers, I should’ve known how bad it would be. Still, he wasn’t to blame for it all. Behind the scenes we get to meet the two young producers behind the project, (a sort of unclever couple real-life version of the slackers in “Knocked Up,” which is great, by the way). Dumb and Dumber tell the viewers that they saw the 1979 original on DVD and said that this had to be their next project. ‘Nuff said. Later on, I came to learn that they also came up with the completely unoriginal notion that they should change the awkward babysitter with a nightbrace into a hottie. While Scott Kosar, the screenwriter, wanted to keep the awkward teen, these two producers said no way! this was their chance to have a “smokin’ babysitter.” Dude.
