[Exclusive] Stars In Stereo Share Their Craziest Holiday Gifts
‘Tis the holiday season! It’s a time of sharing, a time of caring, and a time when many of us open gifts and our only reaction is to raise one eyebrow and wonder, “What the hell were you thinking?” That’s precisely what rock band Stars In Stereo thought and decided to share with Bloody-Disgusting. If you head on below, you can read each member’s craziest holiday gift!
Stars In Stereo released an EP entitled Album Preview on Oct. 2nd (iTunes). A full-length debut album is planned for a 2013 release.
Stars In Stereo “Craziest Holiday Gift’s List”
Guitarist Jordan McGraw: “I made my dad a duct tape wallet one year because I couldn’t drive yet and didn’t want to force my brother to take me shopping (that was my gift to him). Turned out to be his favorite present. He still has it 12 years later… It looks like shit and has a few pockets missing from it but it’s hangin’ on!”
Vocalist Bec Hollocraft: “I remember one year getting knee pads from my then boyfriend. He thought it was really funny, and I didn’t get the joke. I threw them away then shortly threw him away. Ahhh young “love”. “
Bassist Justin Siegel: “In 9th grade, my first girlfriend made me what was supposed to be a star shaped pillow. But it ended up looking more like a jellyfish shaped pillow…and it was pink. I still have it somewhere. Probably the same place I put it the day after I got it. I unfortunately don’t have much use for a pink, sort of star/jellyfish shaped mini-pillow.”
Drummer Drew Langan: “I took a shake weight to a white elephant exchange once. It was a huge hit. I wound up with a pointless child’s toy. It was literal for 3 year olds so I was pretty bummed.”
Guitarist Frogs McCormick: “My sister gave me bubble wrap one year when we were younger. Just the bubble wrap. True story. It was actually a pretty great present, I was popping for days.”

A gnarly infection threatens to claw its way out of a moving camper in the first trailer for Shudder’s claustrophobic Hellcat.
The feature debut of writer/editor/director Brock Bodell, who previously edited the Fantasia title Ultrasound, makes its debut on Shudder on August 14.
In Hellcat, “Lena wakes up in a moving camper trailer with a horrifying wound. She’s warned by the driver that they have one hour to get to a doctor, or she’ll succumb to an unimaginably awful fate. As the pain sets in and reality begins to fray, who should really be afraid?”
Dakota Gorman (Natural Disasters) leads the cast that also includes Todd Terry (“Breaking Bad”), Liz Atwater (The Other People), Jordan Mullins (The Bikeriders), and James Austin Johnson (“Saturday Night Live”) in a voice role. Bodell also produces alongside Andrew Duensing and Nate Eggert.
Hellcat made its world premiere last summer at Fantasia. I wrote in my review, “Hellcat is a bit of a Trojan horror that defies easy classification, by design. Bodell’s sneaky debut feature is occasionally too sparse in its worldbuilding in its bid to preserve the mystery, but not enough to detract from the thrilling road thriller that transforms into a completely left-field type of horror we don’t get nearly enough of. The stripped-down tribute to a classic horror staple catches you off guard in more ways than one, marking Bodell as one to watch.”
In other words, there’s a lot more than meets the eye to Hellcat‘s simple infection setup, delivering plenty of surprises along its bumpy road of horrors.
Check out the trailer and poster below and add Hellcat to your watchlists asap.
