Okay, I know. Halloween can be all about slinking into that naughty, sexy costume with the hemline, neckline, revealing cut-outs, or whatever that you wouldn’t normally wear. It’s like trying on a new you for a few hours and letting yourself do and say something outrageous … “No, it was the naughty nurse who said that … *giggle* … *wink* …”

But for some of us, kicks are a bit further out there on the shock and awe scale. A bit of vinyl is fun, but add a few gallons of faux blood, maybe some hanging intestines, facial decay … epic win! Yeah, I’m talking about one of the hotter trends in the alternative modeling world, zombie and gore pin-ups. And, I must say, I’m damn happy and proud to have one of the brighest lights in that edgy edge of things right here as part of our disturbed, little ‘zine group.

You get to read the musings of our favorite gore whore, Nos, every other week here in the ‘zine in The Devil Inside. But you may not have seen her in all her fabulous, slinky, sexy, gory glory. Here is a cool shot published in Bizarre by also fab photographers (and killer artists) Wicked Illusions (who were responsible for the über-hot werewolf Nos pics in last week’s feature). We’ve also got a great Wicked Illusions pic of Pandora Genocide in our gallery below. If you want to see some kick-ass dark photos, click through to their MySpace albums. You’ll not be disappointed.

Nos has also shot with the always-awesome Chad Michael Ward, whose photographic art makes a Marilyn Manson video feel like a trip through It’s a Small World. But there is an ethereal beauty in the dark images, something creeping in and tugging at the hanging bits of your soul … compelling you to delve further. We wanted to give you a small sampling (and none with the naked ladies because … well … you can click through and see ‘em yourself), but you REALLY want to go to his site and check out his complete collection of creepily erotic imagery.

If dark-tinged gore is perhaps not your thing, maybe some nice, wholesome pin-ups are more like it? Or some ZOMBIES! Or maybe some ZOMBIE FUCKING PIN-UPS! Yea baby! Leading the braaaaaaains contingent is My Zombie Pin-up, with a killer calendar of undead cheesecake. WOOT! Or, if you want to check out a dazzling array of zombie sexy, take a little trip over to Zombie Pin-ups and get all the rotted eye candy you can ever hope to see all in one place. Or perhaps you might like Ghoul Girls … There’s no limit to the yummy braaaaaaaaaaaain-chomping beauties out there!

Or, if smooth, sensual zombie sexy with a hypnitically ethereal soundtrack is more your thing, check out this killer video by photographer (and webcam diva) JJ Bonde.

Okay, so maybe blood and hangy guts (or braaaaaaaains *hee hee*) are not your bag … how’s about some ROBOT BABES!!

For my money, the leader of the robot pin-up pack has got to be Jeffery Scott of Factory 1019. Not only are his beauties mesmerising, in his digital artist perfection, he creates the world around the characters he creates. Sure, images of women spliced with machinery can be a little disturbing, but when they’re this dead-on sexy, we can live with it!
If Factory 1019 doesn’t sate your hunger for robot babes, never fear … there’s MORE! You can check out some hot robots, as well as some wicked fantasy digital art in Michael O’s gallery. Or you can take a peek at the sexy future as envisioned by Benedict Campbell. Or perhaps human dolls is your thing? You can get your Barbie-lovin’ engine running with some cool digital art by Alex Sandwell Kliszynski.

And … OH YEAH! There are aliens too! If you want to create your own funky Pinups from Outer Space, I’ve got just the tool for you! Pin-Ups From Outer Space (hard to forget that, eh?)

Or … if you happen to make your way to Osaka, maybe you’d like to live out the alien abduction of your naughty dreams at the Hotel Loire. *heh* Happy probing!

Well, that’s lots of food for naughty thought of how to spice up your Halloween in some rather funky ways. Until then …

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.

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!
