Ghost Dude XIII

TX/39/Half Ghost Half Dude/You may be amazed but I am invited in very few private homes.

Mostly here to post and occasionally reblog things that catch my attention. If need be, I will yell into the void.

My interests include professional wrestling, horror movies, comic books, genre films, music that ranges from danceable to emotionally questionable, and whatever random hyperfixation has grabbed me this week.

Not trying to be an influencer. Not trying to build a brand. Just hanging around the internet like I always have.

Feel free to say hello. I’m generally pretty friendly, even if I occasionally disappear into the shadows for a while.

Just one more day of work left, then it’s sweet delicious bed rotting time!

Happy 20 years of Decemberunderground! AFI's 7th studio album was released on June 6th, 2006.

This is the album that introduced me to AFI (one of my favorite bands as a teen), so it holds a special place in my heart. I can't believe it's been 20 years now. What's your favorite track off the album, or favorite memory associated with it?

I really should have gone with my instincts on this one, but I was feeling antsy and decided to check it out anyway.

First off, I have no nostalgia for He Man or Masters of the Universe. I know there have been different cartoons over the years, and I’ve seen the original Dolph Lundgren movie, but it’s just never been a franchise I’ve connected with.

One thing I don’t understand is why these live action movies insist on bringing Prince Adam and He Man to Earth. Why not just let the story take place on Eternia?

This movie just wasn’t for me. It felt like it was trying way too hard to be funny, and a lot of the humor felt forced. I don’t mind comedy in action movies when it’s done well, but here it just didn’t work. I actually like the actor playing Adam, and I thought Jared Leto did a decent job as Skeletor when the movie let him be serious, but whenever it leaned into comedy, it completely lost me.

I was giving it the benefit of the doubt because it was directed by Travis Knight. I like his work, especially Bumblebee and the stuff he’s done with Laika, but this just didn’t click with me at all.

In fact, I ended up walking out. That’s only the second time I’ve walked out of a movie in the past year. The first was Five Nights at Freddy’s 2.

Maybe fans of the franchise will get more out of it, but for me, this was a miss.

This is a good one.

I thought Undertone was really good. As someone who used to listen to a lot of creepy podcasts about the supernatural, the occult, and true crime, especially ones with great audio production, this movie reminded me a lot of those shows that I haven’t revisited in years. Honestly, it kind of made me want to go back and listen to some of them again.

I thought this was very creepy, especially because so much of it relies on audio. When you can’t actually see something and your mind has to fill in the blanks, I think it’s way scarier. The same thing happens with podcasts and audiobooks. Audio can really mess with your imagination in a way that visuals sometimes can’t. What Undertone does really well is combine that podcast style storytelling with the format of a feature film.

There are a lot of unsettling moments, creepy vibes throughout, and an overall feeling of dread that worked for me. I wasn’t completely blown away by it, but I still thought it was very solid and very well done.

I also saw that this writer and director will be doing the next Paranormal Activity movie, and honestly, I think that’s a perfect choice after watching this.

Overall, I’d recommend checking it out. I rented it, and I definitely felt like it was worth the rental. I was entertained the whole way through.

Depech Mode - Enjoy The Silence

I have always loved how this music video starts.

[ghostdudexiii]

I really enjoyed Obsession a lot. This is definitely my type of horror movie. From my own experience dealing with a toxic person in the past, parts of this movie brought back some really creepy and honestly horrifying memories that I thought I had buried deep down. That just made the whole thing feel even more disturbing and effective. This was so good. I can’t believe I waited almost a month to watch this. I really enjoyed it from start to finish. Very good.
