Review: Exists Movie Directed By:Eduardo Sánchez

For five friends, it was a chance for a summer getaway- a weekend of camping in the Texas Big Thicket. But visions of a carefree vacation are shattered with an accident on a dark and desolate country road. In the wake of the accident, a bloodcurdling force of nature is unleashed-something not exactly human, but not completely animal- an urban legend come to terrifying life...and seeking murderous revenge.




You guys all know my love for horror, and my passion for a good Cryptid Story.  Eduardo Sanchez and his entire crew are the first ones to pull off the impossible.  A perfect blending of found footage (even though I'm not fond of that style) plus a huge Hairy Hominid whose Pissed off and doesn't even bother taking names......... just kicks ass.

Who can blame him...... most 20 some things always leave trash in the woods, get a little to rowdy, running off to have sex in the woods.

The story......works and flows great.  The cinematography is Excellent.  Horror films do not get to me, I just like the genre.  The camera angles and techniques used in the film, made my loving wife our in house Continuity expert, jump several times, and I caught myself flinching a couple of times as I was caught off guard.

That's hard to do, as based on camera angles, and foreshadowing I usually ALWAYS know what's happening next.........oh no NOT with this film.

Outstanding film!  Kudos

Go out can grab a copy today.  It's worth every penny.  If I ever get the chance to meet any of the Crew on this project at the many conventions we attend... I'm getting my copy signed! 

I've broken out the Probes......I give it.

How to do Hellraiser Make up Effects by Nicci Fett





We met Nicci Fett Recently (see the VisionCon Story).

She is amazing at the style she has chosen, and seriously, who does not love a good horror flick.  Her makeup effects that We have seen, are better than many you see in big budget movies now.

So we hope she gets noticed by some in the incrowd and allow her to explode into the horror genre making everyone leery of meeting her creature creations in a dark alley!

Nicci Posted a Video today on how to, a tutorial on how to do this particular make up job.

So instead of a long drawn out article.  Just watch the tutorial and then try it out yourself.  Send us your finished works to enter into the contest.  What's the prize?....... oh could be a makeup kit, or a movie prop, or...... an autographed photo of Nicci in one of her costumes?  You'll just have to wait and see.

VisionCon Takes on Branson with Huge Success.

When you think of Branson MO images of country music come to mind. But this weekend CosPlay has descended on the Music Capital. As we reach our destination, The Radisson parking lot is completely full! Storm troopers are, well, storming the hotel along with Ghostbusters and the away team from Star Trek.
 
This is Visioncon's 22nd year holding this event and their 1st year holding it in Branson. The lobby was packed as fans of every venue hustle and bustle in and out of the variety of different rooms.
 



Its not everyday that at a glance you can see a Trekkie, a Storm Trooper and a Ghostbuster all at a glance.
 
As I squeezed by Freddie Krueger to get to the Art room I am amazed at the talent that is in the building.  Photography was not allowed in this room but take it from me they are talented. Images ranging from fairies to Doctor Who.
 


On to the convention guest room where we run into our good friend author, artist, film maker, Johnno Zee of Zomular Media LLC and our own Jason Mansfield aka Binary Entertainment
 
 
     As we wander the room we met several artists showcasing their work.
 
 
    
Nicci Fett made the long drive from NJ to come to VisionCon. She did a remarkable makeup job as she showcased her talents on herself. She was very creative as a child who grew to be fascinated by the effects in horror movies and said" I want to do that!" and so she did. Along with being an FX makeup artist she also makes props and costumes and is available for your next film project.

Ryan Wheaton, 26, from Springfield MO is an up and coming illustrator and comic book writer. This is his 2nd year at Visioncon. While talking to him I found out we are very like minded. Although a sceptic (like me) he is very open minded to the paranormal but believes in scientific proof, which there isn't much of on any subject.
You can check Ryan out at:
 
 
 
 
 
    



The gaming room was full of different tables set up with many types of different games being played by a diverse group of people. I happened across a table of 6 playing Cards Against Humanity. Starting front left and moving clockwise around the table we have Josh, Sparky, Marie, Plummer, Robert and Rodney.











 
     Keith Rennaker received his degree in Visual Communications from Colorado Institute of Art. He joined Associated Theatrical Contractors (ATC) in 2005. ATC supplies and services the entertainment industry. While talking with Keith, he was transforming his coworker into a werewolf











ATC offers professional theatrical Makeup classes that cover everything from makeup looks for the runway to the application of full face prosthetics. Later that day we got to see the finished transformation of the werewolf.

  I have to admit that I saw David from across the room and could not take my eyes off of him. From where I was standing he looked an awful lot like Matt Smith, the 11th Doctor Who, and being an enormous Doctor Who fan I couldn't resist a closer look. I am so glad I went over and met David. He is a super person with a great talent. His work is all original and he works in all mediums from pencil to sculpting, he does it all, and does it very well. He has designed for rock bands such as Avenged  Sevenfold, Sevendust and Wednesday 13. This was his 2nd year at Visioncon and he came prepared with many of his pieces. Please check out more of his work at;
 





Last but not least was headliner Ernie Hudson, AKA Winston from the movie Ghostbusters I and II. He sure did bring in the crowd. There was a line out the door.
 


 




 
 
 
While waiting for a lull in the crowd so that we could interview Ernie, we met Chris Canote of Canotefilms.com. He was also waiting for an interview. Chris led the interview with Ernie and ParaPalooza tagged along. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atlZivBU-RI&feature=youtu.be
 

 


VisionCon was a huge success and really worth the visit. If you can make it next year I am sure you will enjoy it too.

Horror Movie Scream Queens brought to you by Playboy

To mark the recent 60th birthday of Playboy magazine, we look back at how many of its models have appeared in horror movies over the decades.
Whilst the often controversial publication likes to convey an image of sophistication and taste, to most of us the Playboy brand is synonymous with unabashed titillation. Small wonder, then, that so many Playmates go on to work in horror movies; while some professions might frown on a prospective employee having posed nude in a magazine, it's a surefire way of getting your foot in the door as a Scream Queen.

No, not every Playmate who went into acting - or, in many cases, side-stepped into nude modeling to boost their acting career - would wind up 'slumming it' in low budget genre fare. There are the oft-cited cases of Kim Basinger and Charlize Theron, for whom Playboy was but a step on their way to superstardom and Oscar success; but it's fair to say they're the exception rather than the rule.
Still, for those of us with a taste for the somewhat distasteful, a great many former Playmates have done admirable work in some thoroughly entertaining, often thoroughly trashy horror movies. Here are some of those most worth remembering.
