Banned Exorcist Trailer from 1973 (via Bloody Disgusting)



Major props to the always awesome Bloody Disgusting for posting this. To me Friedkin's The Exorcist is still the scariest movie ever made. Interestingly enough though last year I purchased the "Version you've never seen before" DVD and it seemed like the editing was waaaaay different, to the point that the same palpable menace did not settle over the room as I watched it. Now, this could have been because I had several friends over for the viewing, although the viewing previous to that one saw myself and at least three friends sit in the dark and watch the film. That particular viewing I remember being too scared to even get up and answer the call of nature, for a time. I'll have to A and B the versions at some point.

Clearly I am trying to hold onto that Halloween feeling for as long as possible. Music like this makes that possible.

Sophie Sees - A Short Film by Tricky



Not even sure how the hell I just found this. You can read more about the making of this on Tricky's website HERE. Some of the music is unreleased stuff.

Portal - Ω Curtain



This band is insane. I'm not a huge fan of their music - it's not bad but what I've heard doesn't necessarily jump out at me as exquisitely different. HOWEVER, everything visual about them more than makes up for that.

Oh yeah, and as far as I know, they pre-date Ghost:


David Bowie's Love is Lost



Released the day before Halloween this one was right on time as it is some spooky stuff. Bowie continues to amaze me even when I'm not in the throws of a Bowie-binge. I watched this with the sound low and Blut Aus Nord on in the background and it fit, what the hell does that say?

That Bowie can still go as dark as anybody out there.

Now, what the hell is this video that I found on Gigwise all about -
