Mega Update: New Watercolor paintings, Artwalk photos, henna dread details

And some snapshots danny took of me working on these:

as you can see i took over the dining room table with my watercolor supplies!


Honestly i had been itching to play with watercolor ever since i sold one of my originals- talk about inspiration and encouragement!

In other news- we must now backtrack to Thursday the 26th which was the Last Thursday Artwalk on Alberta st for August:

This was our booth set up. As always we were selling original art, silkscreen prints, tie dye and more.

I painted my face up in hopes to entice some souls to have their own faces/bodies painted by me for a few bucks:

...and so it did attract quite a few moms and their kids to have their faces painted:

and all was well and super fun until the unthinkable happened....Wells Fargo set up a table to "sign up accounts" right next to us!!! I was truly outraged by this and confronted them about it. I pretty much said that i was very uncomfortable with their presence at what is supposed to be a community based independent artwork festival. I hope i made my disgust known enough for them to think twice about setting up again. This may be a sign that its the beginning of the end for the Alberta arts festivals but i am determined to not be too disheartened. We will see how it goes for September's last Thursday art walk.

...Oh and for those who are wondering why my dreads are suddenly red- i colored it with Henna( all natural plant based hair coloring!)
The process was pretty messy and looked something like this:

but i had fun making the mess as always and the henna was so soothing and healing for my scalp.
The color change was pretty dramatic as you can see- but i love it! Change is good.

Danny has been super busy finsing these huge screens for a Buddha silkscreen/marbling project he has in the works:

As you can see- he is all done with the three screens needed to make up his 3 color Buddha print. Instead of using the photo emulsion method of creating these silkscreens he hand painted them with drawing fluid. The next step is getting all his supplies ready to begin marbling big sheets of paper that he will then print the buddha onto. i cant wait to see the outcome but we have to wait awhile and let the $$ come in so that he can purchase all the supplies.



a quick snap of Danny and I over the weekend. We spent a good amount of time hanging out on the patio, conversing and drinkin tea.
I hope every one's weekend went well.

more updates coming soon.

Best wishes,
-Chelsea Rose

Missing 25 minutes of 1927 Metropolis found and restored

BBC News has reported that the 25 minutes of Fritz Lang's 1927 classic sci-fi movie "Metropolis" have been found in Argentina and now the film has been put back together as Fritz Lang had originally intended. The film is now the proper two and a half hours long.

Visit this BBC News page and watch the news broadcast video in which Stephen Smith reports on the discovery and even shows a few seconds of the missing footage.

This is one of the most influential science fiction movies and Fritz's vision of the future was eerily accurate. We are looking forward to this full version being packaged and released for general viewing.

John Cusack cast as Edgar Allen Poe in "The Raven"

John Cusack posted to Twitter today:

"officiali- will play edgar allen poe in fall-a-film called the raven, send any poe- gold - my way as i begin this journey into the abyss."

The film, "The Raven" is directed by James McTeigue and tells a fictional tale of the last five days of Poe's life as he joins a detective in the hunt for his fiance's kidnapper. The serial killer is committing murders inspired by Poe's work.

The movie begins filming on Oct 25 in Budapest.

This sounds like it could be a good film, especially if they do the serial killer properly. As long as the serial killer is "worthy" of mimicking Poe's stories, the movie should be good.

Free NIGHT OF THE DEMONS showing in NYC

FANGORIA will host a free screening of director Adam Gierasch�s horror remake NIGHT OF THE DEMONS at the Cinema Village (22 East 12th Street, off University Place) on Friday, October 15 at 11:30 p.m. Gierasch co-wrote the new film with longtime partner Jace Anderson, the two having previously collaborated on AUTOPSY, TOOLBOX MURDERS, MOTHER OF TEARS, MORTUARY and the upcoming FERTILE GROUND. Gierasch will introduce the 35mm screening and conduct a Q&A.

The updated DEMONS due out on DVD and Blu-ray October 19 from Entertainment One, follows a bunch of young party animals who spend Halloween night in a haunted mansion, turning into demons and mutilating themselves and their friends. The film boasts a hot cast led by 13 GHOSTS� Shannon Elizabeth as the new Angela (that infernal troublemaker), with stunners like FREDDY VS. JASON�s Monica Keena, LAID TO REST�s Bobbi Sue Luther, TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: THE BEGINNING�s Diora Baird and THE HAZING�s Tiffany Shepis playing the wild girls who turn into wilder she-demons. TERMINATOR 2�s Edward Furlong heads the male cast, while TRAILER PARK OF TERROR�s Drac Studios provided the film�s eye-popping makeup FX and monsters. The original film�s Linnea Quigley has a cameo.

The Fango NIGHT OF THE DEMONS screening will be a free show; to obtain tickets, send an email to fangoscreening@starloggroup.com This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . You must list �DEMONS� as your subject line. Offer is good for you and one guest. Plus tell us your full name and whether you want to be added to the FANGORIA newsletter list so we can inform you about future Fango screenings and events. Names will be checked at the door. Offer is first come, first served, and we will confirm your RSVP. Seating is not guaranteed, however. This advance preview is sponsored by Entertainment One.

Gareth Jones of Dread Central called NIGHT OF THE DEMONS �a modern throwback to a simpler era of horror where boobs and blood were the main attraction,� while Steven West of The Horror Review said, �If you see only one movie this year featuring demonic anal sex�make it this one.� And Suspiriorum at Horrorview.com summed up NIGHT OF THE DEMONS as a �shamelessly trashy experience, but one which is solidly entertaining, and a rare remake which doesn�t shame the memory of its progenitor.�

Check out FANGORIA #291 for exclusive NIGHT OF THE DEMONS photos and interviews. And watch this space for more upcoming Fango screenings. See you at the show!

Human Centipede causes controversy

Tim Masters of the BBC reported that the film "The Human Centipede" is causing quite a stir. The movie is about a twisted doctor that captures people and performs hideous experiments on them. In this movie, he creates a triple conjoined "centipede" out of three unlucky victims. The film plays on the horrors carried out in Nazi Germany during WWII and uses that emotion to its advantage to upset the viewer.

The imagery is enough to make some people ill, while others have found it quite funny. Tim Maters reported that the Japanese fans laughed during the screening. Perhaps that is because they are used to monster movies.

Tim Masters went on with an interview Tom Six, the writer and director of "The Human Centipede". Read the interview here.

"Master of the Macabre" WILLIAM CASTLE speaks from the grave

A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM THE �MASTER OF THE MACABRE� WILLIAM CASTLE

Don�t think that a little thing like being dead would preclude me from attending �The Return of William Castle� retrospective at the Film Forum in New York City beginning Friday, August 27th (http://www.filmforum.org/films/castle.html)

I am very much present. And I do so remember how I loved scaring the living daylights out of all of you��But I�m not done yet. Not by a long shot.

I am sure you are dying to know what to expect from me now that I�m back with FROM THE GRAVE!, a new tale of terror and my first novel, that will scare a corpse out of his own grave. So, everyone, if you get a whiff of my beloved Don Diego #5 cigars during �The Return of William Castle� retrospective, don�t be alarmed, know I�m there with a grin that stretches from here to eternity. And for the faint of heart, beware we might meet in the �Coward�s Corner.�

WHO: My daughter Terry Castle will be on hand Friday night to introduce the opening double bill of �The Return of William Castle� retrospective. The dear child had a most unusual childhood and has endured the legacy of a father who is indeed larger than life. I wonder what she will say about me? Does she believe I�m back FROM THE GRAVE?

WHY: I never met a gimmick I didn�t like. Many consider me to be the godfather of the modern horror movie genre and and �experiential films.� And to think I died in 1977 thinking I was unsuccessful.

Background: I made over forty B movies following a formula for box office success: low-budget chillers geared to the burgeoning Youth-sploitation market including The Tingler, House on Haunted Hill, 13 Ghosts, Macabre, Strait-Jacket (the latter scripted by Psycho's Robert Bloch), and Homicidal � which TIME magazine liked better than Psycho. They called me a master of ballyhoo who shamelessly promoted his pictures with highly effective gimmicks, some of which will be lovingly re-created for the Film Forum�s 15 film retrospective, �The Return of William Castle� running August 27 through September 6 in NYC.

HATCHET II slashes ties with MPAA, out Oct 1

Dark Sky Films, a division ofMPI Media Group, announced today that in anticipation of the upcoming Halloween horror movie season, Adam Green's HATCHET II will be distributed in theaters across the country beginning Oct 1. The film will be released without an MPAA rating, marking the widest release of an unrated genre film in more than 25 years.



AMC Theatres, under its AMC independent program, will be exhibiting HATCHET II in the top 20 markets across the country. Vitagraph Films is serving as theatrical distributor.


The announcement regarding the HATCHET II release was made jointly by Adam Green with MPI Media Group's Senior Vice President of Acquisitions Greg Newman.



A ferociously fun tribute to the old-school horror sensation slasher movies of the 80's, HATCHET II is the follow-up to the popular original film, which was released theatrically in 2007 and became a sleeper-hit, gaining a wide following on DVD. The cast of HATCHET II features a cavalcade of horror movie icons including Danielle Harris (HALLOWEEN) and Kane Hodder (FRIDAY THE 13th), reprising his role as serial killer Victor Crowley. Also starring are Tony Todd (CANDYMAN) and R.A. Mihailoff (TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE).


HATCHET II is having its world premiere this week in London at Fright Fest, the UK's premiere horror and fantasy film festival.


Director Adam Green said, "Having a movie as graphically over the top as HATCHET II come out in major theatres unrated is an absolute dream come true -- not only for the genre fans but for the entire make-up effects crew who normally have to watch their amazing achievements get sliced and diced for theatrical release. This is an important event for the horror genre and I hope the real horror fans support HATCHET II and help change the way genre films are released theatrically from this day forward. Kudos to Dark Sky Films and AMC theaters for truly honoring the spirit of old school American horror and doing this right. Gorehounds won't know what hit them!"


Dark Sky Films' Newman added, "We are thrilled that audiences will not have to wait for a director's cut or unrated version of Adam Green's HATCHET II. On October 1st fans will have the opportunity to see Hatchet II in theaters exactly as it was intended to be seen: full-on, uncut and uncensored! We hope that this unrated release of HATCHET II marks a new trend in providing an uncompromised theatrical experience for genre film lovers nationwide."


"Our AMC independent program embraces diverse storytelling of all types," said AMC Theatres' Vice President, Specialty & Alternative Content, Nikkole Dneson-Randolph. "Bringing a story like HATCHET II to our guests is a natural fit during this time of year and we're excited to share the filmmakers' vision on-screen in its intended state."

Francis Ford Coppola receives Academy Governor Award

Courtesy of AMPAS

Beverly Hills, CA � The Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences voted last night to present the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award to producer-director Francis Ford Coppola and Honorary Awards to historian and preservationist Kevin Brownlow, director Jean-Luc Godard and actor Eli Wallach. All four awards will be presented at the Academy�s 2nd Annual Governors Awards dinner on Saturday, November 13, at the Grand Ballroom at Hollywood & Highland Center�.

�Each of these honorees has touched movie audiences worldwide and influenced the motion picture industry through their work,� said Academy President Tom Sherak. �It will be an honor to celebrate their extraordinary achievements and contributions at the Governors Awards.�

Brownlow is widely regarded as the preeminent historian of the silent film era as well as a preservationist. Among his many silent film restoration projects are Abel Gance�s 1927 epic �Napoleon,� Rex Ingram�s �The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse� (1921) and �The Thief of Bagdad� (1924), starring Douglas Fairbanks. Brownlow has authored, among others, The Parade�s Gone By; The War, the West, and the Wilderness; Hollywood: The Pioneers; Behind the Mask of Innocence; David Lean; and Mary Pickford Rediscovered. His documentaries include �Hollywood,� �Unknown Chaplin,� �Buster Keaton: A Hard Act to Follow,� �Harold Lloyd: The Third Genius� and �D.W. Griffith: Father of Film,� all with David Gill; Brownlow also directed �Cecil B. DeMille: American Epic� and �Garbo,� the latter with Christopher Bird.

Coppola began his film career in the early 1960s making low-budget films with 2009 Honorary Award recipient Roger Corman. By the end of the 1970s he had won five Oscars�: Best Picture (�The Godfather Part II�); Directing (�The Godfather Part II�) and Writing (�Patton,� �The Godfather,� �The Godfather Part II�). Among his numerous producing credits are �American Graffiti, �Gardens of Stone,� �Bram Stoker�s Dracula,� �Mary Shelley�s Frankenstein,� �Jack� and �Tetro.� In 1969 he established American Zoetrope, an independent film studio that helped launch the careers of George Lucas and Carroll Ballard, and has since produced more than 30 films, including �The Black Stallion,� �The Outsiders,� �Lost in Translation� and �The Good Shepherd.�

A key figure in the French New Wave movement, Godard started out writing about cinema before beginning to make his own short films. His influential first feature, �Breathless� (1960), impressed audiences and filmmakers alike with its jazzy take on the American crime film. For fifty years, Godard has continued to write and direct challenging, and sometimes controversial, films that have established his reputation as one of the seminal modernists in the history of cinema. His more than 70 features include �Contempt,� �Alphaville,� �Weekend� and �King Lear.� Godard is also credited with having influenced numerous contemporary directors, including Bernardo Bertolucci, Martin Scorsese, Steven Soderbergh and Quentin Tarantino.

Born in Brooklyn in 1915, Wallach made his debut film appearance in Elia Kazan�s 1956 feature �Baby Doll,� starring alongside Karl Malden and Carroll Baker. Since then he has starred in more than 50 features including �The Magnificent Seven,� �The Misfits,� �The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,� �The Godfather, Part III� and �The Holiday.� Throughout his lengthy career, Wallach has worked with such directors and actors as Francis Ford Coppola, Michael Douglas, Clint Eastwood, John Ford, Clark Gable, John Huston, Sergio Leone, Marilyn Monroe, Al Pacino, Gregory Peck and Kate Winslet. Wallach will next be seen in �Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.�

The Honorary Award, an Oscar� statuette, is given to an individual for �extraordinary distinction in lifetime achievement, exceptional contributions to the state of motion picture arts and sciences, or for outstanding service to the Academy.�

The Thalberg Award, a bust of the motion picture executive, is given to �a creative producer whose body of work reflects a consistently high quality of motion picture production.�

The Governors Awards presentation will be produced for the Academy by producer Sid Ganis with Don Mischer Productions.
