My Top 20 Favorite Monster Movies (part 2)

Art by me - http://kaijusaurus387.deviantart.com/art/Tetsuo-the-Iron-Man-630594032
Well last time we talked about smog monsters, STDs, and parasites and this time we're talking about more of my favorite creepy critters!

Links to videos in the image captions.

Video
Tokyo Gore Police
While my tastes in raunchy, Japanese gore-fest is limited in all honesty when it comes to films; I like anime and manga like that just fine, but somehow when it's in film it makes me pretty queasy. However, Tokyo Gore Police is a very, very big exception (not to say this movie isn't extremely nauseating at times). 

The idea of a disease that causes people's wounds to grow weapons and some pretty unexplainable mutations is just such a great concept to me. I guarantee that if when I cut my hand off it would turn into a crab-claw/eel mouth hybrid, I would chop it RIGHT NOW! 

Just to let you know, this movie is NOT for everyone's tastes. These are some of the most disgusting visuals I've ever seen. I've yet to see a movie with anything worse than that damn, chair.  

Video
Ghoulies
Ghoulies is a movie that is very close to my heart. I watched the second Ghoulies when I was around 7-8 with my dad on cable and it had an extremely lasting effect on me; not only horrifying me, but it also left serious mark on my taste in horror and fiction in general. Ghoulies is the entire reason I love the whole "small monster" thing and absurd horror stories. 

If you at all like Horror Comedy, B Movies, So Bad It's Good, or 80's Horror, this movie is the holy grail of your life. The movie isn't really sold as a Horror Comedy, but it does come across as one.The pure schlockiness though is really part of the charm and what makes it great. 

Video
Odd Thomas
People seeing ghosts to solve mysteries is nothing new by any means. Neither are ghosts that help solve mysteries. Odd Thomas, however, is by far the best supernatural mystery I've ever seen. It's also full of great acting which is something missing from MOST of the movies on this list. 

Video
The Creature from the Black Lagoon
Before you read this paragraph, watch that video. Doesn't that gorgeous critter just look alive? Honestly, I would choose these special effects over any CGI dinosaur or Satan any day. You really get something a lot more from a person inside of a creature-suit, it just feel so much alive; probably because it is. 

There's also something to be said about the movie itself; it's sheer quality is outstanding for the time it was made (1954); the story is well crafted and seems believable enough, the filming and direction is great, the writing is great, and the acting is very good and natural. It's honestly hard to believe this movie was made in the time it was, with all the schlock and cheese that was pushed out of the media in fear of nuclear radiation and space aliens; don't get me wrong, I love those movies, but they really do get kind of old.

Video
Godzilla vs Megaguirus
This is the first Godzilla movie I ever saw, but I love it for so many more reasons than that. This movie really stand out from the other Godzilla movies (a lot like Godzilla vs Hedorah) story and tone-wise. There's times when this movie seems like it wants to be a horror movie and even references the movie Alien; which a lot of the movie seems like it's a homage to).

Also, I think Megaguirus is one of my favorite monsters shown in the Godzilla Franchise so far. Her design reminds me of Battra a lot (another favorite) and she's one of the very few Dragon-fly kaiju I think of. Plus she queen of the Meganula, a monster previously from the film Rodan!

Bandai Creation 2013 King Ceasar



Image is taken from here

I just bought this today for 18 dollars, it was so worth it! This is a great figure, I totally love it. So let's get started.

Articulation 
The figure has five points of articulation, and it kinda has two others. The arms will move a little more than 180 degrees, you have to force them a little once they reach the center but not really. The legs do move 360 degrees but you do have force them in the back and they might scratch the paint so I really wouldn't suggest it. The tail moves 360, which I really wasn't expecting. The waist moves 360, no forcing needed. And as for those two that I mentioned above, the ears will move :D ! You have to force them and they've nearly popped out on me. I really don't think they are supposed move, but they can.

Paint Job/Sculpt
The paint job is pretty accurate but I think the body should be a little lighter colored and more reddish rather than brown. The detailing done with the paint on the hair is also a nice touch.  The sculpt is great, really great when is comes to the face. The face is amazing. The detailing is also amazing.

Rap Up
This is a very great figure, get it if you can find. Wouldn't pay more than 20 bucks for though, got mine for 18. Buy it if you find it, so till next time this Mordle Warrior signing off.

The Gate Demons




The film The Gate is an amazing piece of cinema art. Not to mention it has some of the best Demons of all time, right after The Evil Dead Series and Demon Knight. Sadly though, It doesn't have a lot of them, but when you seem them, you shit your pants from amazement.

Minions

The Minions get the most screen time of all the other demons. They are by far some of the scariest demons of all cinema in my opinion. They also have one of the coolest designs in my opinion, though they may only be about one foot tall, they mob in numbers. They also do turn into the next monster we have in plan.


Zombie
I love this Demon, as simple as his design is, he is still beautiful. But i really don't have anything to say about him.






Demon Lord
The Demon Lord, or Grand Master, is the overlord of the lesser Demons. His design is just beautiful, look at all those arms, his body is like a worm too. The Demon Lord and others like him were once the rulers of the universe, how they were fired is never really said.






Other than demons this movie has other great things, such as...

...melting Telephones...


...melting faces...


...Zombies that break into small demons...


.And what ever the hell this.

The Internet Is A Beautiful Place part 1

 The internet is a beautiful place, and you may be asking why, well...

This is why...


And this is why...


And this...

Yes, the internet is a beautiful place, full of beautiful things, beautiful people, and things that are just down right strange. Of all the lovely things on the computer, I have list of favorites, lets talk about this said list...



Bogleech, is maybe my all time favorite website of all time and space. I go on this website probably at least five times a day. Bogleech is the home of Mortasheen, the best thing in the world. I'm not gonna ruin Mortasheen for you by explaining exactly what it is, you just need to go and see for your self, and you won't be disappointed. Bogleech also has a large archive of Articles written by him, that are amazing and sometimes disturbingly beautiful. And those articles include toy reviews, lists of monsters you didn't even know existed, and other strange and wonderful things. Bogleech also has a store !!!! It has the best selection of t-shirts ever! Shirts with monsters, shirts with parasites, and even shirts with Butt Snipes. The store also has a few other things, such as stickers with the guy's art work (This man is an amazing artist), and others things that I don't want to spoil for you. And finally Bogleech has  THIS!!!!!!, I can't tell you what "this" is, it is the most terrifying thing I've seen, and you have to see it for your self.


The SCP Foundation , oh now we're getting started... in a really weird way. We've talked about SCP before, with a list of my favorite SCPs. SCP is by far one of my favorite websites, it has everything, monsters, talking Beatles albums, and even vases that make little monsters. As much as I love The SCP Foundation, not a lot to say about it.


Marble Hornets , is amazing, if you aren't watching it, you're really missing out. Marble Hornets is terrifying, it also features two of the most famous and scary proxies of all times, Masky and Hoody. Marble Hornets also made up the famous circle and x, symbol, which is used universally by slender fans. I'm only on the 60th episode or so, and I'm on the edge of my seat all the way. Go and watch it if you know what's good for you.

Well this is the end of part one, I'll try and get the second part written by the memorial day.

13 Days In Hell


  13 Days In Hell is a first person shooter game made by QiGames, that in enjoyable, fun, and extremely terrifying! The game takes place in of course Hell, and you play as the chosen one who has to survive 13 days in Hell. As you play the days get harder and harder and more and more demons and zombies show up, sounds fun all ready right?
Zombies

 The Zombies/Demons appear to be people with axes and burlap sacks over their heads, or they have burnt heads, one or the other.  But those are just the basic the Demons, there's others that I don't have pics of. The others are strange demons that look like the normal demons but with shoulder pads, helmets and what appear to be crowbars. 







    The other zombies are called Butchers, and look nothing like the others. They look kinda like a mix between Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees, but with black clothing. The Butchers are the hardest to kill, and by far the scariest.

   
    I've only been to Day 9 (the levels go by days), so there could more demons/zombies as the days go. I was hoping for maybe some more Satan looking demons, you know with red skin, forked tails, and horns, but no...



Not a long article to day, just a little review of the game. So till next, this Mordle Warrior signing off.

Top Mortasheen Monsters

I love Mortasheen! Mortasheen is a collection of monsters from Bogleech.com, one of my favorite websites. Mortasheen is a vile and evil world of monsters and freaks that kill or be killed.


Mumblegog
 Mumblegogs are small little plague creatures created by an insane mayor to keep the town's inhabitance locked indoors. The creatures would mob people and spray thick clouds of deadly bacteria.The Mumblegogs are one of my favorite Mortasheen monsters and inspired by some very cool and creepy things in history, cough Plague Doctors Cough.










Chainsaw Kids
The Chainsaw Kid is an awesome monster. What more could you want out of a monster, it an armless dinosaur with a chainsaw on his face.As much as I like this monster, don't got much to saw about.












Festerling(Type D)
Festerling type D is an inhuman creature born out of Zombie breeding. There's quit a few types of Festerlings, but this one's my favorite, it looks like some kind of Walrus/Critter monster from Pluto (which is a planet again by the way.) and was exposed to gamma rays in the Earth's orbit.  













Gluttony
Gluttony is a devil. Gluttony can not move or digest it's own food. The bird will create a giant wall of physic energy to lure in creatures that will  start to eat uncontrollably and then find the Gluttony and regurgitate it food into the creature's mouth. Fucked up right ? But fucked up in a good way.

  











Goblobobble
Goblobobbles are everything that nightmares are made of: demonic roasted turkeys. Goblobobble makes me want to cry, his appearance his saddening. They are immobile and their tiny head just sway back and fourth as they loudly spray spit all around.












That's it for now, so till next time, this is Mordle Warrior sign off.

Rush - 2112 Review



  Our first music review, and it's on one of my favorite albums, 2112. The album is from the year 1976 and record by the talented artists in the band Rush. We will be reviewing each song by itself.


2112
 2112 is one of my favorite songs. It tells the story of a man in a strange futuristic society ruled by the Priests of the Temple Sierinx. The man finds a guitar  in a cave and brings it to the priests. The Priests saw that it is an evil machine and it "Doesn't fit the plan!". The man is crushed and wanders home in sadness. The man then has a dream about the people who built the guitar and says that they left our planet long ago and to "Learn and grow". The man then is then incredibly sad, and kills himself. Shortly after the"Elder Race" come back and "Take control". The story of 2112 is continued in Cygnus X-1, on the album Hemispheres.

                                                                       A Passage to Bangkok 
A Passage to Bangkok is about going around the world to smoke weed, that's really it. 

The Twilight Zone
  The Twilight Zone is a great song all about The Twilight Zone TV show. It talks about a couple episodes from the series. The song is one of my favorite Rush songs, right after Red Barchetta. 


Lessons
Lessons is a great song, I'm not sure what it about, but it great. It's a part acoustic guitar part electric guitar. A great song though and really worth listening to.

Tears
   Tears is a beautiful song, about either heartbreak or just being sad in general.  It's a great song but i don't have much to say about it.


Something For Nothing
Something For Nothing is another favorite of mine. Again not really sure what's about. And also Again i have almost nothing to say about other than it's great.
