Haters Gonna Hate: 2 New Interviews with Me

Oh, what it is to be internet famous! LOL I wouldn't know.

First, I was interviewed by Left Field Films:

And then I was interviewed by Horror Bob's Blog II:

Don't forget to subscribe to the blogs while you're there. There's bound to be some other good stuff to read on both.

MySpace is back! And I love it!


It's not really like it was when it was good 8 years ago, but the new MySpace is potentially awesome! I'm back on it and loving every minute of it!


Although it could do with a few more tweaks, a lot more music, and some kind of help guide to show new people how to use the features, it's a huge step in the right direction. As you can see, I've even got a massive picture of my Willow on there!

If you are one of the cool kids, the new MySpace is like a side-scrolling version of Pinterest or Tumblr but with music instead of pictures. Hopefully, there'll be lots of new videos too if all the artists who already have accounts finally update their profiles. I would love to see MySpace give YouTube a good kick in the balls. I'm sick to death of watching all the mediocre money whores with audiences made up of schoolkids, and mush-mouthed movie reviewers with crazy teeth who tell the plots in their own words or repeat themselves retardedly to fill up their 15 minute vlogs. Most of all, I can't stand adverts on videos.

Will MySpace replace Facebook? Who cares about that crap? Facebook is so 2008. Does anyone still use it except to play games, bitch about their lives or post LOLcats? All I get on there is a load of fairweather followers who get butthurt over the slightest dig at one of their "special films" as if they've made them themselves instead of only buying them on DVD. For social networking, I'm still on Twitter (the world's biggest and most one-sided chatroom), and I've rejoined Vampire Freaks so I can grab the bands I like from there and add their music to my playlists (mixes) on MySpace. Maybe I won't lose my VF account for inactivity again this time.

Since I've been ill, I've lost all interest in horror blogging, and now that I've rediscovered MySpace, I can't really see any way that I'm going to return to regularly writing things on here which nobody apart from trolls, spammers and stalkers ever reads. Something has changed for the worse with the Blogger editor too. It doesn't refresh properly as I'm typing so I have to keep scrolling up and down to see what I've just written. I don't have the patience for it. I'd rather listen to music. Nice, melodic pop music and electronic stuff.

Let's face it, I've only continued to write this blog for the paltry Amazon affiliate sales which have continued to drop to only slightly above nothing. I'm not going to get rich or famous out of being a horror blogger so I might as well just enjoy myself with what the rest of the internet has to offer instead of wasting my time on here. Blogging had its heyday 3 years ago. New bloggers might as well give up before they even begin.

Nobody reads or cares anymore. Blogger is now just a popularity contest where success is rated by the number of avatars in the GFC widget. It's all follow-for-follow even if the person you follow can't write for shit and is, quite frankly, an embarrassment to the blogosphere. I haven't enjoyed blogging or watching horror movies for a very long time. It probably shows. It's taken a while, but I've grown out of both.

Is this the end of "Dr Blood's Video Vault" on Blogger? Maybe. The URL will expire this year, and I've got no great desire to renew it. I'll probably let it go back to the default blogspot address. Unless I see something that I absolutely have to write about such as the new "Mama" movie or the "Evil Dead" remake, then I've got nothing left to tell you. Horror and horror blogging is dead.

New Horror Films 2011



I've been searching around various websites and the IMDb to see what excitement we can all look forward to next year. Apart from one or two crappy handycam movies which are more than likely to be churned out without warning, this is as much as I've been able to come up with.

The Blob (2011) [REMAKE]
It's a remake which will obviously not even be as good as the 80s version.

The Cabin in the Woods (2011)
A twisted and unusual take on the familiar "cabin in the woods" formula. We shall see.

Castlevania (2011)
Yet another obsolete video game turned into a movie but at least it has vampires in it.

Child's Play (2011) [REMAKE]
Another remake which I'll avoid.

Clock Tower (2011)
A woman is tormented by an evil that has haunted her family for generations, but the only man who believes her is the psychiatrist she meets in a mental institution. Together they must find the source of her family's damnation and then fight for their lives, until the curse is finally laid to rest.
I bet it turns out to be crap.

Deathlok (2011)
A man unwittingly finds himself the subject of an experiment which slowly turns him into a cyborg, with computer and robotic parts replacing nearly his entire body...
Not really horror and bound to be inferior to "Robocop".

Evil Dead IV (2011) [SEQUEL]
Is this really going to happen? It's listed on the IMDb but nobody in the know has revealed anything about it. I think it's about as likely as Timur Bekmambetov finishing the "Dozor" trilogy or making "Wanted 2".

Final Destination 5 (2011) [SEQUEL]
Survivors of a suspension-bridge collapse learn there's no way you can cheat Death. Whoopee, here we go again. It has to be better than the fourth one.

Halloween III (2011) [SEQUEL]
Patrick Lussier is taking over from Rob Zombie. Er... yay?

The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) (2011) [SEQUEL]
I'm doubtful whether this one-trick-pony will be worth the wait especially as we all know what's going to happen. The rumour is that a dozen victims will be joined together this time which could be interesting to see. I hope it's gory this time though.

I, Frankenstein (2011)
I can imagine what this is about, can't you?

Jeepers Creepers 3: Cathedral (2011) [SEQUEL]
I'm hoping this will be good but I fear the worst.

Scary Movie 5 (2011) [SEQUEL]
I don't like comedies and I have no idea what they will parody after the appalling horror movies of 2010. If they do "The Human Centipede" as a comedy it might work.

Scream 4 (2011) [SEQUEL]
Ten years have passed, and Sidney Prescott, who has put herself back together thanks in part to her writing, is visited by the Ghostface Killer.
And ten years have passed since I even cared about this franchise.

Silent Hill: Revelation 3D (2011) [SEQUEL]
Heather Mason and her father have been on the run, always one step ahead of dangerous forces that she doesn't fully understand, Now on the eve of her 18th birthday, plagued by horrific nightmares and the disappearance of her father, Heather discovers she's not who she thinks she is. The revelation leads her deeper into a demonic world that threatens to trap her forever.
I hated "Silent Hill" and the video games were about as boring as could be but this might be okay.

The Strangers 2 (2011) [SEQUEL]
Why?

The Suffering (2011)
I have no idea what this is about but the title makes it sound promising. It'll probably live up to its name for viewers anyway and I'll be able to rip it to shreds on this blog.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 (2011) [SEQUEL]
I don't know about you but I have to know how it all ends now. Well, I already do know because I've spoiled it for myself but I still want to see the last two outings with the sparkly vampires and bare-chested werewolves.

Zombieland 2 (2011) [SEQUEL]
There aren't any details available for this either but I should imagine that it will be more of the same only even crappier. I hated "Zombieland" and probably won't even watch it unless it has somebody interesting in it.

So there you have it, another slew of sequels and remakes with a couple of unoriginal low-budget formulaic titles thrown in for good measure. What are you looking forward to seeing next year?
