Contains spoilers, click to show
Prince of darkness- is a underrated horror film directed by john carpenter and stars donald pleasences.
the film is the second installment in what Carpenter calls his "Apocalypse Trilogy", which began with The Thing (1982) and concludes with In the Mouth of Madness (1995).
The film is about cellar, a priest finds an otherworldly vial filled with slime. Frightened, he brings his discovery to a circle of top scholars and scientists, who eventually learn that the strange liquid is the essence of Satan. The slime then begins to seep out, turning some of the academics into zombified killers. As the possessed battle the survivors, student Kelly is infected by a large quantity of the liquid and becomes Satan personified.
It has supernatural elements, psychological elements and horror elements.
Its underreated and i think more people should watch it.

Book Divas (227 KP) rated Dr. Gore's Cannibal Circus in Books
Jul 16, 2019
This author continues to push the boundaries of our sanity and completely pushes us over the edge. Your mind is completely and utterly fragmented by the time you reach the end of this book. This sadistic tale has us visiting the circus but trust me this is not a wholesome Barnum and Bailey type of place. The storyline is fast-paced and encases you in its madness. The characters are well developed and all of them have their own agendas. The world-building will have you feeling like you have fallen down a twisted and demonic rabbit hole.
This is another book that is not for those with weak stomachs. Could use some editing but at times some of those issues actually added to the story. I will continue to read the author's books as quickly as he can pump them out.

Awix (3310 KP) rated The King in Yellow in Books
Aug 12, 2019 (Updated Aug 12, 2019)
Much-mentioned but seemingly little-read collection of short stories by Robert Chambers. The anthology owes most of its fame to the fact that HP Lovecraft was sufficiently impressed by some of the stories to retroactively incorporate them into his own mythology, something Lovecraft's disciples built upon with more energy than finesse.
The best of these stories do have a sense of subliminal encroaching madness and unease, as symbolised by the mysterious play mentioned in the title and its associated motifs, which is very impressively created. However, much of the remainder is a set of essentially interchangeable tales of rich young Americans studying art in Paris and swooning over beautiful young mademoiselles; they are quite heavy going and possibly not worth the effort of reading. The opening few fantasy stories are very good, on the whole; the rest not so much.

James Koppert (2698 KP) rated Atrocity Exhibition by Danny Brown in Music
Nov 2, 2019
Skipping that thin line.
Danny Brown looks and sounds like he's done a lot of drugs, but then so do the Rolling Stones. Atrocity Exahbition skips that very thin line between madness and genius and stays on the creative side more.
The beats are on the abstract side a la Kool Keith, but again, just enough to stay on the side of commercial sounding without being too 'alternative'. Then there is his voice and flow. Danny Brown sound cartoonish and ever so slightly deranged and as a rapper his flow is not exactly on point but it works. It all comes together and sounds very good.
Like Eminem, it's difficult to listen to too many tracks next to each other, but take them Indavidualy and you will enjoy this album extremely.

So you're my replacements a dandy and a clown
Made to celebrate the first ten years of doctor who and to bring back the first two doctors William Hartnell and Patrick troughton in my opinion it's brilliant it's a shame William Hartnells role was reduced due to illness but still manages to give one last performance. which gives Patrick troughton one of best performances as the doctor showing us he's still got it and his banter with the thrid doctor at first frosty but over time mellowed. Stephen Thornes performence as omega is perfect showing a calm side then madness at a drop of a hat. Also watched in hd which makes it just as good as when it was shown 1973
