Section: The Devil Inside

Greetings Lippy fans! Welcome to the first annual DEVIL INSIDE horror movie wrap up. Chad Cherry and I will be breaking down 2009’s gruesome offerings.  Unfortunately many of the horror movies made in 2009 where not gruesome in good way… I really hope that every director’s New Year’s resolution is to “grow a pair” because I am sick of watered down junk.  This year we got stuck with a TONE of sequels and remakes.  However there were a few surprises and some unsung heroes.  I just don’t understand why making intelligent horror has become like pulling teeth! Nor do I understand “horror” movies that suffer from total lack of gore, violence, and traumatizing scenes. It’s total bullshit.  But I’m going off on a rant now … I’ll let Mr.Cherry spill a few words then we’ll get down to the nitty gritty!

Chad: Unfortunately most of the horror movies from 2009 were re-makes gone a muck from the classics we ( the freaks haha) still adore. For the sole reason that Hollyweird must have lost some of it’s imagination. I’m sorry to have to let you in on this folks. It’s all about quick coin and fuck all to art. Taking a risk might not pay the bills ya know.  Nothing new or out of the norm with that though I guess.

So this month I’m going to write about some of the bastard film makers of 2009 that have stuck to their guns and have fired off some doozys.

Alright first off a couple of these I’m sure you all have heard of but there might be a few in the mix that haven’t hit your radar yet. Here is my version of the blood goodies for the warped and macabre ( I’m talkin’ about Jessie) 2009 round up of what I got a chance to get into while still ROCKIN’ the foundation of this planet you all call earth!

 

FRIDAY THE 13th. (re-make)

I’m not gonna get into details about this re-make. Just look out for Derek Mears! He is the cat’s pajamas.

Nos: I enjoyed going to theater and seeing it but I think that had more to do with the group I went with. Considering all the things that could have gone wrong with this remake, I think it turned out better than expected. Derek Mears did a damn fine job as Jason.

 

DRAG ME TO HELL

Chad: This is Sam Raimi getting back to his old crazy ways of film making. Ala Evil Dead I and II and Army of Darkness! Excited? You should be.If you haven’t seen any of these movie get out from rock you have been livin’ under punk! This one focuses on a supernatural curse that gets placed on young lady by a Gypsy witch bitch. Now hexed, her world turns into a gnarly and very terrible acid trip of evil! The old lady in this movie is H.O. double T- HOTT! Check out the pics!!! OOOOH BABY! Don’t mess with eastern European hags man.

Nos: A lot of people hated this movie, I was not one of them. DRAG ME TO HELL was a fun summer flick that had a couple of good scares in it. Was it the second coming of Alfred Hitchcock? No and that’s not what you should’ve been expecting. This is Raimi folks. His movies, though charming, are not rocket science. –And that’s okay! I was just happy to see something that wasn’t  a damn remake!

 

MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3D

Chad: O.k…So I’ll admit it. Even though the 1981 original George Mihalka directed version is ‘King’…’King’ I say! I did like this re-make. Come on, it was in 3D. It has some good nudity and some great blood splatter everything. Also my bro Tom Atkins (Night of the Creeps, The Fog, Halloween III etc.) kicks ass till he gets his jaw and face removed. The orig is my fav but Patrick Lussier did a stand up job for this classic re-make about a miner that kills his co-workers, survives a cave-in, wakes up from a coma, slaughters every one in site, retreats back to the cave, gets shot by the cops, comes back 10 years later….(Hold on let me catch my breath-…Alright where was I…Oh ya.) Starts up the most wicked massacre the lil’ mining town has ever seen and stuffs ripped out hearts in candy boxes…Romantic. -Three words- PICK AXE STYLE!!! Watch the O.G. first.

Nos: This is one of two cases where the remake actually “wowed” me! (The first was THE HILLS HAVE EYES remake.) The original MY BLOODY VALENTINE is a true slasher classic.  This remake had a lot to live up to and it started things off right with the 3D. The acting was really well done and I enjoyed the new little twists they put on the story! The gore made me laugh out loud in the theater. – Naturally disturbing all those around me. I feel these late 70’s, early 80’s slasher films translate into better remakes … mostly because the originals aren’t that well known and had budget limitations.  It’s still not an excuse to redo someone else’s work or be lazy. But if you’re gonna do it, do it right.

I wish someone would send ME a bloody heart in a candy box!

 

DEAD SNOW

Chad: Guess what’s not nice?…. Zombies! O.k., now guess what’s even worse? …. Nazis! Put the two together and what do ya have?…. Sour kraut and sausage? No dummy! NAZI ZOMBIES!!!! That’s not designed to make anybody feel good. Norwegian director Tommy Wirkola’s horror comedy Dead Snow is though! In this one a group of med students on an Easter holiday hit up a cabin in the middle of snowy ass Norway to enjoy in some skiing, drinking, sex, unfrozen blood thirsty swastika wearin’ living dead guys, molotov cocktails, chainsaws, machine guns attached to snowmobiles, decapitation and death. Holy Happy Easter fuckers! If you don’t want to watch this after my explanation then get out of my house (just kidding). If you do what to see this then get ready to po-po in yer pants! Hilarious and nasty!

MARTYRS

Nos: This movie fucked me up. It’s seriously hard for me to even write about it because I don’t like reflecting on it. The film is wonderfully made and the acting is indescribable. And that’s what’s wrong with it: It’s too good at what it does. The story is about a childhood abuse survivor seeks revenge … and that’s not doing the plot justice. What unfolds is beyond words. All I can really say is that I watch horror and exploitation on a daily bases and this movie had me in tears by the end.

 

RUN BITCH RUN!

Chad: Joseph Guzman’s 09 exploitation flick in the vain of ‘LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT’, ‘I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE’, and ‘MS.45.’. A total throw back 70’s style rape turns into revenge, catholic school girls on the wrong side of the tracks dealio. A classic revenge movie scene for scene! Gritty, filthy, gore ridden, rape and sodomy. Why do I watch these kinda movies? Because I am not right….At all. No matter how liberal you think you are, – this movie will offend you -…Big Time! And it’s got Daeg Faerch who played lil’ Micheal Myers in Halloween in it too. Cute. “PAY BACK IS A BITCH”

 

 

SAW VI

Nos: It’s hard to keep sequels interesting. On average they to fizzle out around 3 and are beyond stupid by 5. However the SAW franchise has done a damn good job keeping its fans happy. We’re at 6. 6!!! And that silly Jig Saw is still finding clever ways to make people play his game. In this episode we watched SCREAM QUEEN winner Tanedra Howard hack off her own arm, saw what was in “the box”, and learned that yes indeed they could stretch this out to part VII.  I know the spell will be broken someday but I’m happy to report it wasn’t with VI!

 

 

HALLOWEEN 2

Chad: Written and directed by a creep named Rob Zombie. I’ve been in love with these movies since I heard the name John Carpenter, and I don’t give a good goddamn what trash talkin’ Micheal Myers super fans say about this re-make. Rob knows his shit. Period. Zombie puts another shade of darkness on “The Shape” and opens the door of brutality on this puppy, showing us what lies behind the mask and how tormented the lives of the surviving victims have become. Not pretty… Not pretty all. I went to the theater 3 times to see this bitch. One of my 09 favs.

 

THE ROAD

Nos: So this movie doesn’t fit neatly into the package of horror film but I’m going to include it in my list. (Hey I could be writing about THE UNBORN but I’d rather not go there.) THE ROAD is a post apocalyptic film that focuses on a father and son’s survival. In a world where most movies are a nauseous blur of shallow predictability, THE ROAD stands out with its depth and soul. This film is scary. The world is dying and growing cold, birds and other small creatures only exist in books, most of the human race has resorted to cannibalism. In all this hopelessness the father and son keep each other going. It’s a really remarkable film that I think horror fans would really appreciate.

 

TRICK R TREAT

Nos: This movie is really special. I remember catching little glimpses of the preview trailer and getting SO excited about it! I adore anthology horror and I thought it was greatest thing that it was coming back to the big screen. But alas … Hollywood can be really stupid. This gem didn’t make it to the big screen and was instead released right to DVD.  It’s the studio’s loss because this movie is an instant classic. TRICK R TREAT (Not to be confused with TRICK OR TREAT starring Ozzy and Gene Simmons.) brought back all the fuzzy warm feelings of Halloween as a child. It’s the perfect spooky film and has one of the most beautiful sets I’ve ever seen. I simply must applaud production designer Mark Freeborn for his amazing work. (As a side note Freeborn was also the production designer for HARPER’S ISLAND and WILLARD.)

Chad: Writer/director Micheal Dougherty’s anthology of four terrifying Halloween stories put together “Creepshow” style (love that movie) shows you how shit can get nuts if ya break all Hallows eve traditions. And Sam, the lil’ guy (or whatever the hell he is?!?!) wearing a burlap pumpkin mask and has a cameo in all episodes let’s ya know that creatures, sicko’s, urban legends, jack-o-lanterns and little red riding hood can fuck up the most frightening night of the year…Halloween. Candy apples with razor blades… Tasty.

What’s up with Chad?

Look out for the new single and video by – THE LAST VEGAS – “WHAT EVER GETS YOU OFF” !!!! And thank you to all the TLV warriors who made “I’M BAD” the itunes single of the year!!! My finale note to all is……. WEAR LIPS SERVICE CLOTHING AND YOU WILL BE A SEXUAL TYRANOSAURAUS!!!! Trust me.

What’s up with Nos?

I’ve been hard at work on my new website! So many new photos and never before seen video going into this … I can’t wait to show everyone! If you want up to the minute details check out my FACEBOOK page and my TWITTER.

And if you’re looking for that last minute holiday gift to yourself stop by: myblackumbrella.com!

I really can’t stop looking at this hot little number (the Dust Storm Moto Jacket) from the Ghost Town collection! **note from the Webmistress: I have mine and it’s fucking delicious … like denim and brushed velvet had a love child! That is all.**

Chad Cherry and I share the same exuberant passion for horror and exploitation movies. In fact, when we start talking about what we’re gonna cover next it’s hard to narrow it down to one idea! But this month we wanted to do something extra special so we decided to cover one of our favorite directors: Abel Ferrara.

Much has been said on Mr. Ferrara so rather than drag over the same boring facts you’ve heard a thousand times, We’d rather touch on his brilliant films and what they mean to us. Evil Sex rocker Chad Cherry does offer this little bit of insight into Ferrara’s early days: He directed a very awkward and confusing porno movies under his alias, Jimmy Laine, with the quaint title “THE NINE LIVES OF A WET PUSSY”. He stars in it but he doesn’t do any of the olr’ in and out, if ya catch my drift. That’s right! Ferrara knows how to get this party started with a skin flick. Well done Mr. Laine. He also went by Jimmy Laine when acting in THE DRILLER KILLER (which he played the lead in) and Ms.45. (He plays the first rapist.)

Ahh yes, Abel Ferrara you had me at-

BAD LIEUTENANT: Originally one of the first movies rated NC-17 for sexual violence, strong humping situations, naughty language, and hardcore drug use … and it’s a police lieutenant that does all this! A corrupt, smacked out, cocaine sniffin’, angry sex addicted, badge wearin’ po-po. To serve and inject! Bitchin’ dooods.

Harvey fucking Keitel. I really can’t say enough about this incredible actor. BAD LIEUTENANT is my favorite movie that Keitel has ever starred in. What Ferrara was able to pull out of Harvey was truly Oscar worthy. I still cry during the church scene. This movie is so raw and honest, one of Ferrara’s more poetic films. It’s really sad that the “remake” looks like such crap. Then again I’ve been assured that it’s not really a remake. They just took the name. – And that my friends is what we call “saving face”.

THE BODYSNATCHERS: Okay this movie has been done SEVERAL times. Seriously there’s a version of it to fit your every mood. You have the 1950’s Don Siegel b-movie classic, that creepy 70’s version with Leonard Nimoy and the fucking human head dog (that STILL gives me nightmares), the shitty Nicole Kidman thing, and right in the middle is Ferrara’s early 90’s version with the sexy Gabrielle Anwar. I can never really decide if I like this movie or not. The higher budget feels a little weird for one of his films. There is this overwhelming sense of dread throughout the whole movie that’s very intriguing. I still watch it about once a year.

Plant like pods that take over earth by killing off humans while they sleep and replace their bodies with emotionless carbon copies that work together to take over the human race!!! This must be based on a true story because … well holy shit!! I think it’s happening right now!!! I’m outta here!!!!

THE ADDICTION: A black-n-white gem of a flick. Out main girl Kathleen who is a philosophy student, gets attacked by a woman that bites the hell out of her neck and drinks her blood!!! And you know what’s next right? You guessed it punks. “SYMPTOMS OF VAMPIRISM”. Say bye, bye to sunlight Kathleen. My favorite scene (and you will understand why) is when out lil’ blood sucker savages some poor shmo’s jugular at her graduation party. And then takes it up a notch by participating in a chaotic blood soaked, killer vampire orgy!!! Hello sexy town!!! If you really pay attention to this movie it’s an allegory about drug addiction. Oh yeah, and one more thing … Christopher Walken.

But this is the best (my opinion rules) …

DRILLER KILLER: Oh yes … truly one of the greats in exploitation cinema. I think it was this movie that made me develop a lifelong crush on Ferrara. Maybe it’s because he plays that starving artist thing so well! It’s the perfect film for when you’re having one of those days. You know the kind where you want your roommates, lovers and family members to drop off the face of the planet? Just put this flick in and you’ll feel better. Promise. I love that after 30 years the gore still holds up in this film! Powerful, scary, and sexy, this movie has made a lasting impression on me.

The 1979 grindhouse slasher cult classic that was banned in the U.K. and in Germany. It’s one of the “first video nasties” in the United Kingdom, and has that great sleazy grainy film quality to it. Our boy Abel Ferrara not only directs this bastard of a movies but also stars as Reno Miller, a struggling artist and bum hater. A.K.A. “Driller Killers”!!!

The British punk band THE DAMNED (Hell Yayeah!) refer to this baby in their song “Nasty”, a Swedish crust punk band dawns their name from the title, the Danish psycho-billy band THE NEKROMANTIX (Currently on tour with ROB ZOMBIE), U.K. punk rockers DISORDER, and the U.S. death metal band MORTICIAN (who use wicked samples from this puppy) all have songs inspired by DRILLER KILLER. Alright now, that shit ROCKS!!! Hey Reno, are you wearing lipstick and drilling people to death? Oh, I guess you are. Artists. So creative.

And we can’t forget …

MS.45: Not gonna lie … this movie is the reason I wanted to be a model/actress. A very dear friend of mine loaned me an un-abridged copy of this when I was 17. I was completely blown away by it. Zoe Lund plays the character of Thana, a mute seamstress working in New York. After being attacked twice in the same day she takes revenge on all men. Lund portrays a great deal of strength while still maintaining her feminine side… with a performance that is truly something to marvel at. Ferrara has an understanding of the female that surpasses most men. Pretty safe to say that I’m in love with him.

So that wraps up our little tribute to Able Ferrara. These films are just the tip of the ice! He continues to out stupid good movies on the regular. If you’ve never seen anything by him, I hope this column has persuaded you to seek out his work!

Here is a small sampling of posters and images of Abel Ferrara’s work:

Now what have Chad Cherry and I been up to ?

I rarely have time off from THE LAST VEGAS with all the touring, filming, grave diggin’, TLV astro physic teachings, ect … or from writing the sound tracks to the mayhem all you humans create, but when I do, I like to get dressed up in all my bad ass LIP SERVICE stage clothes, put on some blood red lip stick and hit a night on the town Driller Killer style. (Did I just write that? Yes I did.) ROCK ON ABEL for making kick ass flicks, AND ROCK ON LIP SERVICE for making every one so goddamn hot! See you all next time, and I’ll see you all on the wild side. – CHAD CHERRY.

These last few months of 2009 have been wicked productive for me! Not only have I been keeping up with my SCARS BLOG (scarsmagazine.com/blog/nos-blog/) and writing for LIP SERVICE but I’ve also taken on a new project. I’ve joined forces with the amazing folks of CIRCUS HOOKER (chsregime.com/) and am now in development of my own site! Soon you will be able to see hundreds of my photos and videos in one handy dandy place! How cool is that? Rest assured I will be wearing some sexy Lip Service in the photos …

Halloween is almost a week away and I’m sure many of you share the same love for this holiday as I do.  If you ask me, it’s the perfect holiday. Sure I love the little perks like buying a new bat covered table cloth or having the best excuse to buy a costume! But, the BEST part about Halloween is that it’s a day just for you. You don’t have to go to someone’s house and eat an awkward dinner or spend money on other people. You’re supposed to dress up and indulge in yourself! It’s also a time that my favorite film genre really shines. Well, at least it used to be anyway….

This fall Hollywood seems to have “dropped the ball” once again.  Instead of opening highly anticipated  movies like  TRICK R TREAT,  NIGHT OF THE DEMONS and NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET around Halloween, they’ve bumped those projects straight to DVD or opted for an April release, ’cause who wants to see scary movies around Halloween?

Some critics are saying that the reason NIGHT OF THE DEMONS got pushed to April is that it’s a terrible film and would do poorly. Now I’ll have to admit that as a HUGE fan of the original, the remake looks pretty silly from the trailers. However, the producer in me is screaming, “Halloween is the ONLY time this film would make money!”

And you know what’s gonna happen…. April will roll around and the movie will flop. Perfect. Everyone who was involved in the film and was counting on it to show some type of success will be back to the drawing board.

It’s hard to imagine that after decades of turning a profit, studios still doubt horror films. They seem to have this perception that horror is all campy and outdated, that nobody really wants to pay to see these films.

Fucking stupid.

I doubt it’s gonna change anytime soon. All we can do as fans is continue to prove the naysayers wrong.  We have to support the filmmakers and actors we love … no matter what time of year or what format their films come out in.  Someday studios will tire of/be unable to sink millions of dollars into stupid Sandra Bullock movies and horror directors won’t have to scrap for every penny. Someday.

Enjoy Halloween Lippy fans! Rent your favorite scary movie this week!

http://www.wickedpixel.com/cinemaedge/ (The CINEMA EDGE AWARDS are still accepting films!)

Chad Cherry of the world famous THE LAST VEGAS and I have joined forces  today! We’re here to talk about a subject near and dear to both of our hearts: WEREWOLVES.

These magnificent creatures are often overlooked and overshadowed by other monsters. (Sad face) But today we’re going to take an in-depth look and the mask, the myth, and legend of werewolf films.

First Chad Cherry reminds us that the proper term and definition for werewolf is LYCANTHROPY: The transformation of a human being into the form of a wolf. From the Greek ‘ lukos’ -a wolf- and ‘anthropos’ – a man-………1+1 = WEREWOLF SUCKA!!!!!

The first Hollywood werewolf movie was WEREWOLF OF LONDON made in 1935. Actor Henry Hull was not exactly hip on long drawn out make up sessions, so his transformations are a little lacking. Fortunately makeup artist Jack Pierce was able to show off his work on a little film known as THE WOLF MAN in 1941. THE WOLF MAN is where most of us got our first impressions of the werewolf. Lon Chaney Jr. as Talbot truly tugs at the heart strings and the sets on the movie are still breathtaking to this day.  Hollywood has remade this classic and will be unleashing  soon.  Frankly, even with  Benicio Del Toro playing the part of Talbot, this movie looks like a big pile of CGI junk.  I really hope I’m proven wrong on this. Either way it’s gonna bring Werewolf back and that makes my black lil heart sing!

Chad Cherry: Lon Chaney Jr.!!!!! The great film icon to make the cursed soul of ‘The Wolfman’ one of the original Hollywood Monsters to play on our primal fears. From there we have received many a good wolf tales over the years (Curse of the Werewolf, American werewolf in London, The Howling, which I’ll speak of) as well as some serious crap (a.k.a. shiza in hefty portions). With the exception of some ‘ Underworld’, uh action and ‘The Wolfman’ re-make coming soon seems like Zombies and Vampires have been takin’ the blood cake (no offense, you un-dead bitches).

 

 

Throughout the years there have been several choice Werewolf movies.  They’re number of films may not be as high as the Vampire or Zombie genre … but there are also very few BAD werewolf movies. (Unlike certain other genres that have HUNDREDS of unwatchable films.)  Chad and I have picked out 3 of our more modern favorites.  If you haven’t seen these yet, you are truly missing out!

 

 

AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON

This is one of those films I’ll watch 6 times in one month.  I can never get enough of David Naughton’s performance! There are some genuinely terrifying moments in this movie as well as one of the BEST transformation scenes ever! I consider this one to be a modern interpretation of THE WOLF MAN.   Naughton’s David Kessler is a truly lovable and sympathetic character. – Not entirely unlike Lon Chaney Jr.’s  Talbot.

 

 

Chad Cherry says: One of the greatest on-screen transformation scenes of all time. Who was responsible for this? Rick Baker, that’s who!

 

 

THE HOWLING

I truly love this movie and I still find it to be truly disturbing. This film was released in the spring of 1981 and AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF would follow in August of the same year. Right from the beginning the whole thing feels seedy. The porn theater scene (What is is with porn theaters and wolf movies anyway?) will haunt you forever. This movie also really explores different aspects of human/animal sexuality  in way that make you want to take several cold showers afterwards. Killer transformations and even a creepy animated bit …. a true 1980’s classic.

 

 

CHAD CHERRY: Another mind blowing display of ‘man to wolf’ twisted brilliance brought to you by Rob Bottin. Remember special F/X? Physical make-up appliances? Jack Pierce figured it out on his ‘Wolfman’ in the 30’s (and it doesn’t look like a virtual mess on the screen either, like American Werewolf in Paris or Van Helsing). So take that CGI.

 

 

 

 

DOG SOLDIERS

I first set my eyes on this during the summer of 2006. It’s truly an impressive film on it’s own and a fine edition to the werewolf catalog. I think the full blown werewolves are the best looking in the  history of the genre.  I also love the simplicity of the plot and the strong performance given by the actors.

 

 

CHAD CHERRY: It’s a newer one but it rocks! Neil Marshell’s flick means – Sweet lookin’ w.w.’s my friends! Maybe not the best transformation scene but the tongue-n-cheek bloody action is killer! It’s like if  ’Aliens’ and ‘Evil Dead’ made sweet,sweet love and had a * “Wolf Child Baby a Wolf Child Baby”!!! * That’s a Cult song reference for those of you who are stupid….Just kidding

 

 

CHAD SAYS: All we write of is true (that’s why there’s book and movies about it dummy..hehe). And if you don’t believe us then I’ll hand this over to the master -SYBIL DANNING- Just read on, she knows…

October 06, 2009

I‘ve always taken every role I accept, very seriously. Like lengendary Christopher Lee with whom I’ve shared 5 movies, I especially took my role as the first ever, blonde, „Stirba,“ Queen of the Werewolves, in the Horror Cult Classic movie HOWLING II, particularly serious.

It‘s that sincerity which comes across to my for ever loyal fans. They expect nothing less!

HOWLING II shown in Theatres worldwide, has and still is very successful now on DVD. A hard act to follow THE HOWLING, with Rob Bottin, our Howling II had its own style. We shot in the Czech Republic, then still behind the iron curtain, not far from Prague. I remember a particular KGB agent with a dead squirrel on his head watched our every move. The surroundings, atmosphere and in particular, the castle in which we shot, brought us very easily into the mood of werewolves and actually being in Transylvania.

More to set the astmosphere were my spectacular leather costumes designed by Peter Mitchell, Australian costume designer who also dressed the likes of Mel Gibson in some of my favorite of all time, MAD MAX movies. After several fittings, the famous leather and brass outfit with arm and leg pieces was the most uncomfortable. Once in make-up, my hair done and in costume, I automatically transferd into „Stirba Werewolf Queen.“

Midnight Highlight of HOWLING II was definitely the special threesome scene in which I, Striba, Werewolf Queen transfer into a full blonde werewolf. This transfer of hair went much quicker on screen than in preparation. I actually had to stand 8 hours to have blonde hair glued to my entire body, starting from the feet upwards. It was well worth the wait because the hair was on strings almost like large eyelash strings of hair that matched my soft thin blonde hair to a T. You really didn’t see where my hair ended and the werewolf hair began. The ears were easy! Once I was fully transferred and became the howling hot, in heat blonde wherewolf, there was a lot of body contact, werewolf style, going on. The scene ended with the black hair from the beautiful African American girl, the dark and handsome guy all over me and my blonde hair meshed with theirs, as did our bodies.

Scenes like this bring out the beast in me, it would you too! How can you not believe!

Believe me, I believe!

Howlingly Yours,
Love your Queen,
„Stirba, Sybil Danning „

You could be unaware of your own shape-shifting abilities … You could be one and not even know. It’s probable … Have you noticed missing neighbors? Do you wake up naked and filthy (on-going thing with C.C.) and everything in your place is trashed except the record collection? Do you have mysterious stains on yer carpet and furniture, yet have no pets? And have you figured out that every time there is a full moon ( As I type this there really is a full moon in the sky. Classic.), you wear your Lip Service jeans with the feeling they will be shredded off your body from some kinda ‘lukos’ transformation, or from getting kinky?!?!………..Well kiddies….You might be Rock-n-Roll Werewolf lookin’ like a sexy beast in yer Lip Service duds….Rock that shit and be hungry like the wolf!

As we close this column out, there are probably about 20 werewolf films getting the ol’ green light, so they can ride on the coat tails of the new  WOLFMAN movie.

This is nothing new.

The people in Hollywood can be on the lazy side, so when one big budget horror films comes out, the next 10 must be exactly like it. Hell, we’re just now coming down from the zombie craze! Werewolf films saw a serge in popularity in the 1980’s but seemed to slink away in the early to mid 90’s when the Vampires took over. As I said before, the fan girl inside is truly excited to see more wolf flicks. – But the realist inside of me is dreading all the crappy ones that are sure to fold the market place soon.

So if you’re reading this and have plans to make a wolf flick in the next few months, PLEASE don’t fuck it up! It’s my favorite genre!

If you make a shitty movie Chad and I may have to go Lycanthrope on your ass.

Some werewolves to enjoy until the next time …

Hello Lip Service worshippers! You’ve probably seen my guest  articles popping up on the webzine this past month. Today I’m gonna take you on a tour of my life!

First a little background story …

I was raised in the third most haunted city in America A.K.A.  Decatur, IL. (Google “Haunted Decatur” it’s pretty messed up.) I moved to Saint Louis, MO at the age of 16 and started making films with Wicked Pixel Cinema at the age of 18, under the name Jessie Seitz. My work began behind the camera as a P.A. and quickly evolved into making behind-the-scenes documentaries. Never being one to take on too little, my big break came when I co-wrote the movie DEADWOOD PARK with filmmaker/producer Eric Stanze. During the production of DEADWOOD I was an associate producer and production designer. I also made a full length documentary about the making of the movie called WELCOME TO EIDOLON CROSSING: THE MAKING OF DEADWOOD PARK. -Crazy long title but oh-so worth a look! (You can download it on Amazon.com the MOMENT you get done reading this.)

Somewhere along the line, I decided it would be fun to jump in front of the camera too! I’ve been in a few amazing exploitation flicks, graced the pages of BIZARRE and GOTHIC BEAUTY more than once, and been able to work with some of the most sought after alt photographers, like LITHIUM PICNIC and Chad Michael Ward.

I have a good life.

But it took a lot of hard work to get here and it takes even more hard work to keep moving forward. So it is on this note that I give you a week in my life …

September 16th – 18th:  FLU

Despite washing my hands every 6 seconds and drinking gallons of orange juice, I fell prey to the tummy flu.  Being sick sucks hard-core, but it’s even worse when you have deadlines, people to see, and an overall LIFE to take care of.  It did, however, give me an excuse to lay in bed and watch movies.

I chose the original LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT, DRILLER KILLER, ANGEL HEART, and about 20 hours worth of THE SIMPSONS.

September 19th. CORRUPTED THE YOUTH.

After being stuck in my house for 3 days, I had a touch of the cabin fever. I decided to take in a movie at ye olde movie theater.  The next movie to go on was SORORITY ROW. Two underage girls were trying to get in, but the almighty ticket seller was on some sort of moral high horse that day and wouldn’t let them in without an adult. Well, I just so happen to be of “adult” age and fully endorse young folks watching slasher films … so I got ‘em in with my i.d.  - I also fully enjoyed this movie and found it to be one of the best horror comedies to come out in a long time.

The rest of the day was spent catching up on work. This included editing on my feature film called FIVE. (More in a later post.) I also had to approve and send photos in for a ZIVITY set.  ZIVITY is a really beautiful website that showcases the very best in erotic art. If you’re old enough, you should check it out: zivity.com/models/Nos – I have new sets going up this week too!

September 20th: THE PHOTO SHOOT

Sunday started off crazy. Everyone – and I do mean everyone - was getting their photo taken today. While I was waiting for Jim Wayer of WICKED ILLUSIONS to wrap with the lovely Pandora Genocide, I worked on promoting the CINEMA EDGE AWARDS.

The CINEMA EDGE AWARDS is a pretty cool contest for independent filmmakers seeking distribution. The prize is a deal with VCI ENTERTAINMENT and landing some great exposure. Click on the above link to check in out.

After posting on every social network site known to man, I start getting ready for my turn in front of the camera.  I always get great stuff when working with Jim. His photography, under WICKED ILLUSIONS, has really taken off this year and I’m so proud of him! Today we decided to go for a whole grunge theme. I wore a sheer, puffy skirt with a white tank top and a toilet charm necklace I found at:  http://www.myspace.com/binge_and_purge_stl .

It was a pretty relaxed concept shoot but the results where amazing! I really love when a project just pulls together like this.

After the shoot wrapped, I went home and watched THE GODFATHER part 1 with my special someone and ate pizza.

September 20th: THE DAY FROM HELL

Monday was a day I should have just skipped. My “other” day job is that of a hairstylist. We got really slammed right after lunch and, naturally, I got some overly picky male who needed his hair thinned. I got a little carried away with my sheers and managed to carve a rather large hole in my left middle finger. It didn’t bleed at first, so I kept cutting. About the time he said it looked good, I noticed my hand was covered in blood. I quickly wrapped it in a towel and rang him out. When I got back to my station, there was blood all over the floor and my sheers. I then saw what appeared to be a blonde tuft of hair sticking out from the teeth of the sheers. Then I remembered the client didn’t have blonde hair … it dawned on me that this little tuft was in fact my SKIN. I almost passed out.

All in a days work for this little gore whore!

I’ll be starting a new Blacklist Feature column, The Devil Inside, in the October 7 edition of the webzine and look forward to sharing more of my adventures with you.

This world is bleak.

There are several things that can account for the state of things but in the end, we are here because hardly anyone is honest with themselves anymore.  Most people are just one giant ball of repression and self hate.

Believe me, I’ve been there.

And then somewhere around 16 I let go of that junk. I became honest with myself and who I really was. It’s still a daily practice but 9 times out of 10, I really do love myself. There are a few people who are really intimidated by that and I find that really sad. You are the only one who wakes up with yourself and will die with yourself for certain. You better learn to love yourself while you’re at it.

And it’s with this mentality that I began to relish in taking gory/fucked up photos of myself.  In time the photos turned into more traditional fetish work but I like to think they always held their own creepy undertone. To this day I still engage in many blood soaked sets. (Note the brand new ones I’m sharing in this post!)

Modeling has always been a positive experience for me.  I didn’t get into this  to impress anyone. I didn’t starve myself. I never felt “ugly” or “unwanted”.  I know many men/women who have done all of the above and much worse. They are very unhappy with themselves and their careers. – And that’s no way to be.

I’m not sure what’s out there after we die but I do know what’s right here, right now, right in front of me. It’s called life and it’s amazing.  It’s also far too short and there’s no point in wasting it on hate. Espically if that hate is directed at yourself and what you are doing.

So cut it out!

Sometimes life is as simple as covering yourself in red liquid and standing in front of a camera. – That’s the Gore Manifesto!

Get out there and find something that makes you feel alive and never give it up. Challenge yourself and embrace who you are.

Then report back to me.

In this day in age, decades have become trends. We’ve had our run with with the hippies, taken our own spin on the mods, got hard with the 70’s biker look and revisited the the 80’s with much enthusiasm.

So this fall the 1990’s take their rightful place among fashion.  You remember the 90’s right? (KMFDM, Doc Martens, belly rings, Steve Urkel, etc.) It’s all been 10 years now. – Which is either gonna make you feel really old or really young.

The 90’s happens to be one of my favorite fashion decades. Grunge and rivet head styles have long been a staple in my wardrobe and don’t think I’ll ever stop wearing boots.  But this season’s revival gives me the excuse to rock an amazing hair color trend: The faded dye look.

Achieving this washed out style takes a little time and planing. The goal is to not make look too obvious, while not making it look like complete butt either.  You want to aim for the well polished apathy look.  There are several ways to achieve this, however I’ve found the below methods to be the fastest and produce better results.

#1 BLEACH, COLOR, WASH

Bleach your hair to a pale yellow, rinse, then apply the color of your choice. Leave the color on for only 5 -7 minutes then rinse. The color will be bright in some spots and washed out in others, making almost a tie-dye effect.

#2 CLAIFYING SHAMPOO

Color your hair as normal and rinse with a clarifying shampoo. (The kind swimmers buy to get the green out of their hair.) In about 3-4 washes you’ll have a great worn inlook. *My color in the picture above was achieved with this method.*

#3 ROUND BRUSH

Coat a round brush in bleach and run it through your hair. Let process as usual. Rinse. Then apply desired color. This works well if you’re going a grown out look.

There you have it!

Now it’s time to whip out that flannel shirt from the back of the closet …

Me and the red, red kroovy have a long history.

As a young girl I would stock up on “Vampire blood” during Halloween time and un-leash it during key events throughout the year. (Church youths groups, family gatherings, Junior high dances, etc.) The little tubes of gore where always icky tasting and often left huge red stains all over my skin. Yet the magic was there and these little social experiments with gore sent me down the path I walk today.

When I grew up and starting acting/modeling in in the horror genre, I became quite the connoisseur of fake blood. My arm has been fused to the wall with it, ants have tried to eat me when I’m covered in it, and I’ve even been sent into dry heaving when I’ve had it in my mouth. – And I still love what I do.

Over the years I’ve picked up on what works and what doesn’t concerning the making of fake blood. Today, I wanted to share my top secret recipe with everyone in Lip Service land!

First you’ll need:

• 2 QRTS KARO SYRUP
• 20 oz RED FOOD COLOR
• 2 oz YELLOW FOOD COLOR
• GREEN FOOD COLOR (Add a little at a time until color looks right)
• 20 oz LIQUID DISHWASHING DETERGENT (UNLESS you are using in the the mouth … the OMIT DETERGENT!)
• 10 oz COFFEE
• 10 TABLESPOONS NON DAIRY COFFEE CREAMER (Mixed into the coffee)
• 2 TABLESPOONS HOT CHOCOLATE MIX (Mixed into the coffee)

This should make a little over a half gallon. Make sure to use a good mixer for this!

Directions:

• Mix the creamer, hot chocolate mix, and (hot) coffee together. Mix untill powder lumps go away.
• Next add the red color and yellow color.
• Next add Karo syrup.
• Then add the liquid detergent with the mixer running on the slowest setting.
• Last, add the green color. Just a few drops at a time untill you get the color you want. Best to test the color on your skin.

The detergent will help get the blood off clothing, the floor, and skin. It does  get rather foamy if you shake it around to much … so keep that in mind when shooting a “live” scene!

Have FUN with it!
