A second post from “The Cabin in the Woods: The Official Visual Companion”

Description of the pictures:

Picture 1 and 2: The Goblins, also known as “Dismemberment Goblins”

Picture 3 and 4: Pictures of the deleted scene of the “Alien” (for those who don’t remember it, when going down the elevator Marty and Dana were supposed to see up close the cube of the Alien, probably before the Hell Lord/Ballerina cube scene). 

Picture 5: Zombies in a cube

Picture 7: The scene of the Goblins riding the small metro cart, with by their side the Mummy

Picture 8: More of the Dismemberment Goblins

Picture 9: The Yeti/Bigfoot/Sasquatch in his cube

Picture 10: The Cyclop in his cube

Some interesting facts and informations from the book:

# Several times the “nine monitors” on which the camera zooms during the “Purge” sequence are mentionned. We know that among them we can see the “Doll mask people”, “Reptilius” and the “Vomitting Mutants”.

# The Dragonbat is of course mentionned

# It is mentionned that in its original scene, (well its original background scene) the Angry Molesting Tree was animated in such a way it really sexually assaulted its victim. The filmmakers had to explain to the animators that it was supposed to be an “Angry Molesting Tree” and not an “Angry Raping Tree”, and thus the attack was “softened up”.

# By now most of the fans probably know about “Kevin”. Kevin is a name that appears on the betting board of monsters. In the Companion, it is explained that Kevin was supposed to look like “a very sweet person, the kind that could work at Best Buy”. During the Purge he would “wander down the hall” amist the massacre, and off-screen exsanguinate someone - the idea being that he was a perfectly normal and human-looking person that turned out to be a monster like the others. However, the Companion clearly states that the filmmakers decided to abandon Kevin altogether - even though he is on the board, and in the script, they never filmed his scene nor included it in the movie. They explained Kevin would have been “too confusing” for the audience. So stop searching for Kevin in the movie - you will never find him.

# For the creation of the Buckners, the filmmakers explained that yes, they are basically a zombified version of the “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” family, but that it wasn’t their original intention. The idea for the Buckners was much more simple : they wanted to have zombies “with characters”, based on the zombies/undeads/possessed corpses from the “Evil Dead” movie. They also wanted something “slow, scary and terrible”, again using ideas from both “Evil Dead” and “Night of the Living Dead”. Only in a second time did the ideas of the “Old World”, of the “prairie family”, of the use of weapons and of the pain-worshipping cult came. 

# The filmmakers wanted this movie to be primarly a reference to the movie “Evil Dead”, which they consider to be a masterpiece in terms of horror movie experience. They also explained they wanted to explore this idea of evolution of the horror movie. They take for exemple the remake of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre which, compared to the original, is “ugly, stupid and morally bankrupt” (their words). For them, it represents the fact that we, human beings, continue a same ritual and repeat the same ritual, the horror movie ritual, despite said ritual degenerating. 

# For the Japan scene, the filmmakers wanted to represent what they perceive as Japan’s cultural duality, with on one side a very downbeat horror (the monster here being based on the famous J-horror ghosts from “Ring” and “Ju-on”), and on the other side a very bright, happy and childish culture, with anime and manga, in their words a “crazy optimistic kind of culture, with bright colors, bright lights, singing and weirdness” - hence the ritual taking place in a classroom full of children and anime-like posters, and the monster ending up being defeated by a cute little ritual.

"Angry Molesting Tree" for the all-time win.

Seriously though, I need to find out why the property value of the cinema was so low when I first opened it. I have the feeling there is something bad brewing under the foundations of the building, and it wants to do things...not very good things.

As for the movie, I think it's rather silly. Don't get me wrong, the characters are likable and the parts where the scientists show up to try and explain these strange paranormal phenomena, but when the ghosts start attacking it stops being suspenseful and it turns rather...well, cartoony. I'd say give it a shot, but only if you don't have other horror movies available at the moment.

And now, if you excuse me, I have to go deal with this possessed tree...or, well, he's going to be the one dealing with me. Wish me luck, everypony.
