Hey WOD Watchers!

•

Sorry, I know it’s Monday so I’ll keep the excitement to a minimum until everyone has had their coffee or whatever they use to help get them through this most dreaded day of the week.  Today’s theme is seriously horrific to people with coulrophobia.  I’ll wait while you Google that shit… Got it?  It’s the fear of clowns.  That’s right.  Today we have a double feature of a Bozo bonanza.  These tales are more terrifying than that time you woke up with face paint on your jeans and a Juggalo passed out on your floor.  One too many Faygos and Everclear will do that to you.

 •
Anyhow, our first film on the docket is Don’t Creep Up from director Jhon Doria.  This one brings us to the typical suburban home of an upper middle class family.  Mr. Majestic the clown is there in full regalia, interviewing with the parents of the household for their child’s birthday party.  He survives a barrage of awkward questioning before he has to try and survive their dirty little secret.  If you hate clowns, this one if for you, because they pretty much get what you think they deserve.  This is a good blend of humor and horror with just enough awkwardness to throw you off the scent of death.
 •
Then director J.D. Brown brings us his shortie, The Tap Dancer.  Alvin and his girlfriend are having an awful hard time trying to go to sleep with all the noise from the neighbor upstairs.  Let’s face it, most of us have experienced this ourselves or listened to someone bitch about it on Facebook.  However, things take a turn for the worse when Alvin decides to storm his aggravated self upstairs to confront the tap dancing perp.  Seems like the person in that apartment has an unwanted guest who has made himself at home.  This one takes practical effects and grit and makes us think twice about bothering our neighbors.  Think of Rob Zombie’s 31 on a micro-budget.
 •
So again, enjoy the flicks and see for yourself that we are NOT clownin’ around when it comes to giving you the best in indie horror.  Haha, see what I did there?  Sorry, I’ll see myself out.

Roll it!
