CHRISTMAS

What Better Way To Cap Off The Holidays Than With A Christmas Message From Albert Wesker

I really can’t think of a better way to say farewell to Christmas — and the apocalypse, at least for the time being — than with this special holiday message from Resident Evil’s Albert Wesker. He seems a little bitter, like he’s not happy with Chris for leaving him in the mouth of a volcano or with Capcom for not including him in Resident Evil 6, but he did make this song for us so the least you can do is watch it. I suggest snuggling up close to that special someone in your life, maybe set your computer in front of a crackling fire where you’re undoubtedly roasting chestnuts, and enjoy this video. It may be Wesker’s last Christmas, but we still have plenty more to look forward to.

This morning, Capcom’s PR team sent me a very stylish Christmas card that feature’s Dante from the upcoming Ninja Theory developed Devil May Cry reboot. That got me thinking about how exactly Dante would celebrate the holidays. When I imagine the parties he throws around Christmas time all that comes to mind is blood, sex, and pizza. Not a bad way to spend the holidays, I think. Check out the card after the jump. It’s pretty great.

Horror legend Christopher Lee is 90-years old but that doesn’t stop him from being the dictionary definition of the word “badass”. On top of being in some of the greatest horror films of all time, Lee is also a trained singer. So what kind of music does a man of Lee’s stature release? Why, heavy metal of course! With the Charlemagne project, Lee has released two heavy metal albums (check out “The Bloody Verdict of Verden” below).

Now, Lee has released A Heavy Metal Christmas, which features heavy metal versions of the classic Christmas noels “The Little Drummer Boy” and “Silent Night”. You can hear audio samples below or you can snag the songs on iTunes. READ MORE

The Ultimate Gift Guide For That Special Gamer In Your Life

Christmas is just around the corner, but if you’re anything like me you’ve procrastinated and still haven’t bought the gifts you need to get for all the special people in your life. That’s okay, I understand your situation and I’m here to help. I’m sure most of us know gamers, whether they’re of the casual variety or the more hardcore persuasion. You might not know what to get for these people, I mean, how can you know what games they own and which ones they don’t? If you’re getting them video games, you have to take their personal taste into account. Final Fantasy may be a good game, but maybe they’re not a fan of the series. Getting them a game they don’t enjoy could be detrimental to your relationship with that person. They could think you don’t know them, or worse, they think you’re angry with them because you gave them a video game they hated. This could lead to a pretty awkward Christmas.

To keep something like this from happening, we’re going to forgo looking for video games so we can instead focus on gaming related items. I’ve even separated this list of goods into three tiers, divided by price. No need to thank me, I did it because I care. I’m here to spread Christmas faster than the T-Virus spreads a hunger for living flesh. Now sit back, grab a mug of hot cocoa, click that little read more button, and start gifting.

On November 30th, Anchor Bay Films presents Silent Night on screens in ten major U.S. metropolitan areas. That following tuesday, December 4th, the Blu-ray/DVD combo and DVD will be available to unwrap nationwide.

Now we have a new clip (on top of our exclusive one from yesterday) via Hulu that has Malcolm McDowell dispensing some broad and bizarreinvestigative advice to Jaime King.

The film, directed by Steven C. Miller (Automaton Transfusion, Under the Bed, The Aggression Scale), is a loose remake of the horror classic Silent Night, Deadly Night. The cast includes Malcolm McDowell (Rob Zombie’s Halloween, Easy A), Jaime King (Sin City, My Bloody Valentine 3D), Donal Logue (Shark Night 3D, Blade), Lisa Marie (Sleepy Hollow), Brendan Fehr (Final Destination, X-Men First Class), and Ellen Wong (Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World).

“McDowell and King star as a small-town sheriff and deputy on the hunt for a murderous Santa Claus terrorizing their community on Christmas Eve. But with the streets full of Santas for the annual Christmas parade, the killer is hiding in plain sight. He’s made his list, checked it twice, and the naughty are going to pay with their lives.”

Bonus features on home video include “Silent Night: Behind The Scenes” featurette and Deleted Scenes. READ MORE

Hint hint, you could be looking at a potential future video game vixen. How about a little Christmas cheer? I know, you have other things on your mind. Like all the presents you got, and are playing, or Kat from Halo Reach, but why don’t you relax, and head past the break.

I wonder what type of presents Cthulu would place under the Christmas tree after he squirmed his way through the chimney? Fallout style gorebags filled with an assortment of squishy body parts? I don’t know about you but I’d definitely prefer that over a stocking filled with coal.

Don’t put away your copy of Lords of Shadow just yet as there are two DLC packs on the way that will continue the story next year. The first, dubbed Reverie, will have Gabriel returning to the vampire’s castle to vanquish an evil that was let loose after he took out Carmilla. The second dose of DLC, entitled Resurrection is an epilogue to the main game and will continue the story and promises a fight with a yet to be revealed “notorious enemy”. No word on what these packs will cost but Reverie and Reserrection are due out in February and April, respectively.

I’m sure most of you have forgotten about The Killing Floor. Well, SHAME ON YOU. It’s Christmas time, and I have no shopping done at all. But that’s ok, because from December 14th until January 4th, it’s Christmas time in The Killing Floor. Watch this trailer below to see exactly what I’m talking about.

Looks, INSANE right? I wish more games got totally brutal around the holidays. New special Christmas Achievements will get you Baddest Santa as a playable character if you complete them all. If you payed close attention to the trailer, you Team Fortress 2 fans will get to play as Pyro in The Killing Floor if you own both games before the event is over. Well, what are you waiting for? Go Kill Santa and his fucked up elves! READ MORE

2010 BLACK FRIDAY CHOPPING LIST: MUSIC

Movies
Posted by Chris Eggertsen on November 24, 2010 @ 3:08pm
Category: Movies / Editorials

While the horror genre is most closely tied to the medium of film, it also sometimes manifests itself in the musical realm, with some acts being more aboveboard with their horror-movie references (i.e. White Zombie, The Misfits) and others merely hinting at a subtle menace threatening to rise up at any moment. Which you prefer really depends on how you like your blood and guts served – fresh off the grill or slipped quietly into your dinnertime soup (or maybe it just depends on what you’re in the mood for). In the “Music” section of B-D’s Black Friday Chopping List we focus a little bit on both types, featuring new releases from artists both classic and contemporary that are firmly entrenched – either overtly or subtly – in the horror tradition.
