Make This Disturbing and Hilarious Cocktail Next Time You Watch ‘Don’t Breathe’
We’ll never look at turkey basters the same way again.
If you haven’t yet seen Fede Alvarez’s Don’t Breathe, one of last year’s best horror films, we encourage you to avoid reading any further. Are you still here? Why are you still here?!
Okay, pretty sure it’s safe to talk spoilers now.
I saw an incredible amount of movies in the theater last year, but I don’t think I saw anything more genuinely shocking than the final act reveal of Don’t Breathe. The unnamed “Blind Man,” initially presented as the victim of a home invasion at the hands of three youths, turned out to be anything but: the tables were turned on the youngsters when the Blind Man turned out to be a total badass with some pretty horrifying secrets of his own. He’s got a young woman locked up his basement, the same young woman who got drunk and killed his daughter in a car wreck, and he’s trying to get her pregnant so that she can give him a new child and even the score. It’s totally twisted stuff, and I’m honestly still surprised that Alvarez got away with showing so much.
The Blind Man has been using a turkey baster to, well, impregnate the woman, and towards the end of the film he ends up with it shoved in his own mouth. Yes, the baster is of course filled with his… stuff… and the sight of it gurgling out of the man’s mouth is one I don’t think I’ll ever erase from my memory. And trust me, I totally want to. You’re a sick man, Fede Alvarez.
The folks over on the website Cake Wolf are clearly pretty sick and twisted too, and we say that because they just came up with a cocktail inspired by Don’t Breathe‘s most shocking scene. The cocktail is fittingly titled The Blind Man, and let’s just say that there’s no more disturbing way to watch the movie than by watching it while sipping this vodka and Irish cream-infused treat.
Yeah. No thanks, guys.
We have learned the sad news this week that prolific horror author Ray Garton, who wrote nearly 70 books over the course of his career, has passed away after a battle with lung cancer.
Ray Garton was 61 years old.
Stephen King tweets, “I’m hearing that Ray Garton, horror novelist and friend, died yesterday. This is sad news, and a loss to those who enjoyed his amusing, often surreal, posts on Twitter.”
Ray Garton’s novels include Seductions, Darklings, Live Girls, Night Life, and Crucifax in the 1980s, followed in later decades by output including A Dark Place: The Story of a True Haunting, Trade Secrets, The New Neighbor, Lot Lizards, Dark Channel, Shackled, The Girl in the Basement, The Loveliest Dead, Ravenous, Bestial, and most recently, Trailer Park Noir.
Garton also wrote young adult novels under the name Joseph Locke, including the novelizations for A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Master and The Dream Child. He also wrote the novelizations for Tobe Hooper’s Invaders from Mars and Warlock, as well as several books for the Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Buffy the Vampire Slayer franchises.
Other young adult horror novels you may remember the name Joseph Locke from include Petrified, Kiss of Death, Game Over, 1-900-Killer, Vengeance, and Kill the Teacher’s Pet.
You can browse Ray Garton’s full bibliography over on his official website.
He wrote on his website when it launched, “Since I was eight years old, all I’ve wanted to be was a writer, and since 1984, I have been fortunate enough to spend my life writing full time. I’ve written over 60 books—novels and novellas in the horror and suspense genres, collections of short stories, movie novelizations, and TV tie-ins—with more in the works.”
“My readers have made it possible for me to indulge my love of writing and I get a tremendous amount of joy out of communicating with them,” Garton added at the time.
Ray Garton is survived by his longtime wife, Dawn.
