WHAT THE HELL HAVE I BEEN DOING: Cottage Chaos 2012 Intro



Hey everyone I'm back again with another yearly update on that crazy weekend bash known as Cottage Chaos.

If you're new to the site or haven't been paying attention, Cottage Chaos is a once a year event where my friends and I head out to a lake town, raise hell, and let loose. To have proof of our idiocy, we film the entire thing and I edit all the random and asinine footage into one surprisingly coherent and hyper-stylized home video.

With this being our 9th year of Chaos, we decided to go with the old tried and true theme of 80's rockers and the results were nothing less than spectacular. We even went as far as inventing a fictional band for our collaboration of assholes and weirdos, and we named it Thunder Crotch! Here's a few images of promotional artwork that I've recently completed, which will go into the design of the DVD and its supplemental material.



I know what you're thinking.... we've got way too much time on our hands, but the truth is we're all sick in the head. Just look at these sweet 80's glamour shots of the main core of participants. FREAKS!


















SCARY!

Well, let me get into the real reason why I'm updating you and that is that I've just wrapped up the intro for 2012's entry and thought I'd let you all experience the Chaos for yourself... in shortened form that is. WARNING (as always)...... Chaos ahead. Enjoy!

TRAILER: Kill Kringle Kill


Hey everyone, I've got some more Trailer Obscura goodies for you to munch on. This time it's a Christmas themed slasher flick called Kill Kringle Kill. It's the sequel to last years Tis the Season to be DEAD, and follows the crazy and psychotic holiday hating Henry Kringle as he starts out on yet another, blood filled massacre.

As usual, there's no shortage of camp and the thing is played out like a grindhouse feature with trash, grunge, and all. Let's not delay this train wreck any longer. Check it out for yourself and feel the holiday horror of.... Kill Kringle Kill!

ANNOUNCEMENT: My Collection & Requests


Hey everyone! I thought it might be a good idea to spice up The Lucid Nightmare a bit and get a little more interactive with the various people that stumble across the site.

I've made the decision to post my entire film collection in the hopes that, by allowing the masses to check out the extensive list, that a few brave souls might take it upon themselves to request specific films that they'd like reviewed or expanded upon.

The cinema landscape can be a daunting thing to dive into and it's always nice to be able to pull from other people's adventures and knowledge in the subject, so if you see something on the list that you've been craving to learn more about, contact me by email, Facebook, comments, or good old fashion pony express (joking of course).

I'm interested to know what you guys would like to read up on and even if the addition of the collection doesn't garner some interactivity within the site, at least repeat viewers can keep up to date with what's in the collection.

Well for those of you that are interested in perusing the shelves in my collection, digitally speaking of course, check it out [HERE] or on the right hand side of the site under the image labeled,
THE COLLECTION.

Thanks for checking it out and enjoy.

WHAT THE HELL HAVE I BEEN DOING: Kill Kringle Kill


So what's new with my world outside of the blogging stratosphere? Well the answer to that question would be that I've been working on my latest Trailer Obscura project, Kill Kringle Kill.

The Christmas themed faux trailer is the sequel to last year's killer Santa flick, Tis The Season To Be Dead. I've been filming and editing the trailer together for the past week and only have a few more key scenes to go. Here's a small little preview of what you have in-store when the main attraction hits later this month. Enjoy and stay tuned.
