UNK SEZ: We had so much fun with our pal Amanda by Night last week that we asked her to stop by and host the Kindertrauma Funhouse once again. She's got some real toughies for you kids this time. After you've made some guesses, make sure you stop by her home base MADE FOR TV MAYHEM for even more made for television fun!
UNK SEZ: You kids are in for a special treat! Today's Kindertrauma Funhouse is being hosted by the glamorous queen of television AMANDA BY NIGHT of the beyond spectacular MADE FOR TV MAYHEM!!! Amanda has supplied us with ten televisions on which can be seen ten images from ten made-for-television masterpieces. How many can you name?
Hey, Look! I grabbed a shot from each and every AMITYVILLE HORROR film. Can you tell which image is from which movie?
Since it's New Year's Day, I thought I'd share 20 swatches from the posters of 20 of my favorite horror movies of the last decade. Can you guess the movies?
Disclaimer: There are a lot of great movies missing from this list (I don't think there are too many left field surprises though). I'm not claiming that these movies are superior to any others, just that these are the ones that resonated the most with yours truly for whatever arbitrary reason.
Furthermore, because I try to have an open mind rather than a stagnant one, my opinion is subject to change at the drop of a dime. In other words, take it all with a grain of salt. I'm already regretting not including the fascinating HOSTEL based solely on my bitter feelings toward its director (by the way ELI, enough with the texting, if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it.), THE DARK HOURS (simply because I don't think many people have seen it.) and the genre-defying masterpieces MULHOLLAND DR. and IRREVERSIBLE.
I also think (with one exception) that I was prejudiced against newer titles just because it's way too soon to say whether I'm madly in love or just crushing on them.
Also: If you don't feel like guessing, leave a comment telling all of us about your own favorite films of the decade anyway. One commenter is going to win the beautiful noir comic THE CHILL by JASON STARR (art by MICK BERTILORENZI) courtesy of our pals at DC!
Oh No! Billy the beloved homicidal maniac from BLACK CHRISTMAS has finally been arrested! What's worse is that his capture occurred on the very same day that Canada decided to reinstate the death penalty! Billy's only chance to avoid death by Canadian electric chair is to plead insanity but to do that, he's going to have to recall the events of BLACK CHRISTMAS to a court appointed Canadian psychiatrist!
Can you help Billy remember the correct order of events? I'll get you started by revealing that 1=C (the title card) but what about the next 10? C'mon kids, Billy's counting on you!
NOTE: If you could give a crap about Billy's fate leave a guess or comment of some sort anyway because Aunt John still has a couple more awesome Kindertrauma logo t-shirts (sizes M, L, or XL; winner's choice!) to give away and anybody can win.. just a leave comment and you are in it to win it!
Would you just look at all these stills from Christmas themed horror flicks I scrounged up! How many can you identify?
If you're not sure, feel free to guess. If you don't care to guess, leave a comment telling us which Christmas movie (horror or otherwise) is your favorite!
One lucky commenter is going to win a fabulous Kindertrauma T-shirt sort of like the one worn below by Kinderpal Taylor!
Note: The Kindertrauma prize t-shirt will be white and size medium, large, or extra-large (winner's choice!) with the same artwork as the one Taylor picked up at Kindertrauma Mart.
Also: The winner will be announced tomorrow so that everybody will get a chance regardless of time zone! (Step it up Left Coasters!) Good luck to all!
With winter approaching I am now planning my annual trip to the Overlook Hotel. One thing I've learned not to bother packing is my concept of time. Can you put the below images from THE SHINING in the correct order as they occurred in the film? (For example: 1=K) There, I've gotten you started ( 2-11 are yours to do.), now I must go and finish my novel; it's about how all work and no play makes ya kinda dull…
If you don't know guess! One random commenter is going to win a Kindertrauma goodie box filled with 2 DC comics (House of Mystery & Victorian Undead) 2 DVDs (SAMURAI PRINCESS and the Aussie vamp flick THIRST and the coolest prize of all, a size large T-shirt from the kick-ass movie FRAYED!!! (Check it out HERE.)
Prove you still have some of your marbles left and start piecing together what happened when… NOW!
