The recent Bad Taste post left me thinking about the dark and grisly side of life -and death. A side traveled by some strange, interesting folks that create art that's not easily accepted by the masses. The Surreality Watch believes that masses can be very bland and celebrates great artwork such as this bold poster found at Killville.
Angry Johnny, the artist behind Killville, draws feverish, violent and darkly humorous tales of murder, insanity, loneliness and pain. And he does it astonishingly well!

Acquired taste
Long before Peter Jackson became the blockbuster/Lord of the Rings big shot that he is today, he was the master of a small but influential niche: crazy, over the top, splatter-covered comedy horror. With a surreal sense of humor, a DIY attitude and a relentless taste for gory situations, he created cult favorites that still carry quite a punch -if you are the right person, that is!
I believe that his masterpiece is Braindead (aka Dead Alive), a film that may be described as the goriest movie Monty Python never made. But it all started with Bad Taste, a 1987 film that exploded in the horror genre with all the lunacy, fun, and amateurish zeal his creator could muster. It's low-budget charm and intentional stupidity ensure that big audiences will always find it idiotic and revolting but one man's meat (hehe!) is another man's poison.
So, without further ado, I present you here with the most amazing story of mean extraterrestrial fast-food owners harvesting the population of a small town for their meat, and of the brave (and not so bright) young men who decide to stop them:
[DISCLAIMER: It's full of silly, ultra-graphic violence. The title should tell you something...]

Lovecraft & Co
It's been a long time since we last saw something Lovecraft-inspired, and I started having these strange dreams again... So, to make amends with the sinister powers that be, here is a great b/w t-shirt that's sure to satisfy your goulish -yet stylish- needs.
When you first get a glimpse at this design it almost looks like a darker, more elaborate version of a "Love" artwork (the kind you are sick and tired of). And then you look again and you notice the details! That's a fine surprise pulled off by SCARS Magazine shop, a splendid store for horror and gory t-shirts.
Let's have a look at another beauty:
A great scary design, characteristic of the Nosferatu film -the stuff real vampyres are made off!
If you are into horror movies and you appreciate a little bit of good, oldfashioned blood and slime, then you should also check SCARS Magazine website. It really is a gorehead's paradise!
