MONSTERS A GORGO!

Some giant monster artwork here, a couple of drawings from my drawing pad, a straight-up monster drawing, and then a jokey play on the name. 

This flick is a fun Godzilla wannabe, a cheeky British knock-off version. Big, scaly, slightly confused, and absolutely loving the chaos it’s causing in the climactic closing scenes  - just good ole classic rubber-suit-crushing-model-building vibes and all with a proper England setting. What's not to like about it? 

Honestly, if this beast showed up in my backyard, I’d probably just grab a cuppa tea, sit back and watch the mayhem, saying “Cor blimey, guv-nah…” each time the monster obliviates one of those iconic black London cabs by stepping on it. 

Here's the beastie, it comes at you in black n' white 
Below is a coloured up version.

 DIRECTOR’S CUT

Haha, I don't know why, but I just have to have a little chuckle at this each time I come across it! 

I found this little jokey drawing by me tucked away in my old art folder,  it’s horror film related and actually appeared in a script book for the 1978 movie, so yep… the director saw and the director approves!

I’m not going to tell you the movie, though, see if you can guess. 

Here are a couple of cryptic clues:

 It’s bizarrely edible in wordplay (well, some of it is),

 You can do this in someone's eye, and you can also "roast" like this… and the last word goes with “gravy.” 

Okay, bonus clue, also not in the title itself, but somewhere in the middle of the movie, a weiner pops up.

It's guess the movie time!

 MARS ACK ACK ATTACKS 

Ack ack ack ack! Ack ack, ack ack ack. Ack ack ack ack ack, ack ack!ACK Ack ack ack ack! Ack ack, ack ack. Ack ack ack ack ack, ack ack! ACK?

"ACK ACK PULL MY FINGER !"

M-ARSE ATTACKS! 

AMERICAN BLOODY MARY 

American Mary is a freaky, dive into the weird and not too wonderful world of body modification and human obsession. “Unique” and “freak” are the only words that really fit — and for those poor souls who take body modding to the extreme, they somehow end up being both at the same time once the body pimping is done. There’s a sort of sordid realism to some of the background characters, like they're not really actors but real participants. I knew next to nothing going in, stumbling upon this movie by chance. The title gives nothing away, in the best way. The first time we meet her Betty Boop friend Beatress, it was unsettling, sure, but also weirdly fascinating and utterly bewildering.

There’s an abundance of disturbing, unsettling scenes, strange characters, and bizarre ideas at play here. Basically, extreme underground cosmetic surgery, there's one woman who wants to turn herself into a human Barbie doll.  And as for that creepy, leeching doctor? Let’s just say karma in American Mary doesn’t do subtle; it serves up exactly what he deserved, with a side of freakshow justice.

 All in all, it's not a great movie, but to me, this movie hit the spot when I had nothing to watch and craved a film about body dysmorphic correction surgery: an enjoyable, if disturbing, find. 

Sure, it has flaws, it's a bit of a mess sometimes, I guess, like some of the people, but honestly… I can live with that, no need for re-edits. There was already enough cutting and splicing going on. 

Once a douchebag - now a punch bag - " ready for that upper cut, mister?" 

 

 JOIN US! FACE YOUR DEMONS! 

Chainsaws revving, blood flying, and a cabin doing its best impression of a possessed blender,  with Ash and demons as the main ingredients, yes, it’s the utterly deranged Evil Dead finale! Poor Ash is down to one hand, one nerve, and zero hope of ever getting his deposit back. The Necronomicon’s throwing tantrums, the walls are bleeding, and the furniture’s laughing; it’s basically an Airbnb from hell.

This climactic showdown had it all: plasticine monsters, stop-motion chaos, and mushy peas that never looked so terrifying. 

What a movie! It was a true standout in my horror-watching life. I still remember this moment the way that possessed demon lunged forward, like it was gliding on rails,  pure, unfiltered nightmare fuel that burned itself into my brain forever.

“Having a sore hand is bad… having a chainsaw hand? That’s badder!”

KEMPER CHAINSAW MASSACRE

here be a  quickie drawing of the moment that actually terrified me watching the 2003 remake of Texas chainsaw massacre, its when we catch a glimpse of Leatherface wearing Kemper's face, such a disturbing image.

Friday the13th again

Just realised what today is, so I drew a quickie sketch in recognition.

Now just as I'm posting this up I realised that this is the third incarnation Jason so it's from FRIDAY THE 13th part III, this takes place after the events of the first two movies which means this movie actually occurs on the following 2 days ...so its really Saturday the 14th and Sunday the 15th! Doh! I could have saved rushing it and taken my time drawing this.
