Holidays are all about great food–everyone knows that. And this Thanksgiving, Ginger Christ, the super sassy and delightfully demented cooking show host, has served up a whopping feast of horror in her Thanksgiving Special! Directed by Alex Napiwocki and costarring a group of hilarious misfits (and a certain critter…), Thanksgiving is transformed into an absolute scream with their Ginger Christ holiday horror series.
I love bizarre horror, and as soon as I watched Ginger Christ’s Halloween and now Thanksgiving Specials, I’m sold. It’s weird, super twisted and will either make you die laughing or turn off the show in disgust! But if you do that, well, then you’re no damn fun. Watch Ginger Christ’s Thanksgiving Special, titled “What’s Eating Critter?” here!
Tasty, am I right? Also be sure to watch her Halloween Special!
Can’t wait Can’t wait what she’s serving up for Christmas…Happy Holidays Horror Lover!
Hey, I’ve been meaning to ask, do you know anyone named Jennifer?
It’s been some time since we’ve had an update, but for great reason, I assure you. I’m excited to announce that LAHorror.com’s first feature film, “2 Jennifer,” has wrapped principle photography and is on slate for completion in August! It’s been a wild ride putting this film together, and fans of murder, violence and horrifying GORE will not be disappointed! “2 Jennifer” is a hard “R” rated sequel to our good friend James Cullen Bressack’s 2013 film, “To Jennifer.” You can read our review of his film here.
“Two filmmakers attempt to make the perfect sequel to “To Jennifer,” however a dark secret threatens the lives of everyone involved. Jennifer, a beautiful actress, now has two options: become the heroine of the film, or face a brutal death.”
Welcome, horror lovers! For those of you that don’t know me, my name is Hunter Johnson, and this is LAHorror.com! I started this website to share the work of amazing indie horror artists and violent gore as I find it, but now, I’d like to introduce you to a creation of our own. “Melody” is our first original film coming 9/13/14 exclusively to LAHorror.com. Produced by myself and my partner-in-horror, Megan Perrin, along with the help of associate producers Michael Cannone & Chrissy Cannone, this will be the first film in a series of brutal horror that we currently have in the works. Needless to say, we’re about to get bloody, and why not start with something really, really nasty? Well, “Melody” is just that.
The film is just about 17 minutes long and features the work of some unbelievably talented artists. Starring stand-up comedian / actor Beau Smith and beautiful Emily Dahm as our title character, “Melody” is not one to be missed. I can promise you this: our film will leave you feeling slimy and uncomfortable, and the gory ending created by make-up effects guru Ryan Reynolds will be a delight for all of you sickos who enjoy…well…this kind of thing…
If you have a horror blog or website and embed our film, let us know, and we will put your banner link on our “Friends of LAHorror.com” page!
Until then, be sure to let us know what you think by hitting us up on Twitter and Facebook! Thanks so much for checking out our work, and I wish you a lifetime of fear, carnage and terrifying HORROR!
Maybe it’s just me, but doesn’t it feel like there’s been a lot of seemingly unnecessary and frightening carnage happening in our world recently? It seems like every day we are hearing about another shooting, stabbing, bombing or general loss of innocence and life to people all over the world. And while it may feel like these tragedies happen in waves, they don’t. They’re happening all of the time and really always have been. Whether or not it’s in our nature to inflict pain is debatable, but the fact that we are fascinated, intrigued, curious and reflective of our ability to do so is not. Why else would people create grisly works of art? Why else would we create an entire genre dedicated to fear? And often pain? And often violence?
My fascination of horror probably began when yours did – as a very young child. The first films that truly inspired me, or rather the first character that I ever felt I could relate to, was Godzilla. Okay, that may seem a little silly, but as I child I would watch that radioactive monster destroying (or protecting) Tokyo and I’d be right there with him, blasting my radioactive breath all over my building blocks and imagining the shrieks of innocent civilians caught in my path. This is taking me back…
I’m getting carried away. Obviously, I’m much older now but throughout my years my love of fictional carnage has only grown, and now I get giddy at the thought of watching another helpless person cower in fear or fight for their life against a ruthless killer. Or ghost. Or monster. Or alien. It doesn’t matter; the seed was planted and it grew, but only relatively recently I began to think about how the real world is the original seed, the inspiration for these things I love so dearly. It begs the age-old question: does life imitate art or does art imitate life?
Everything worthwhile in this world has a price, and horror is no exception. Some of the most intriguing and entertaining horror has its roots in suffering. Without Ed Gein, we’d have no Texas Chainsaw Massacre, or Psycho, or countless other classic works of terror. Think about all of the art that was inspired by real life slashers Ted Bundy or Jack the Ripper. Hell, even Godzilla wouldn’t exist had we not dropped nuclear bombs on Japan. Horror is our real world fears manifested in our imaginations, and even the silliest horror or the campiest project has it’s roots in real life horror.
And maybe that’s why it’s so alluring. We watch these images of horror, listen to sounds of suffering and dream of mass destruction because it gives us fear, and reminds us that we could be next at any moment. After all, we’re all going to die someday and rarely do people have any say in how they go. And in a world full of real life horror, it will catch up with some people. So enjoy it while you can, horror lovers, because before you know it you could be next…
Be safe out there, and thanks for checking out LAHorror.com.
