Well, lemme see what I can talk about... Oh. I have it...<br />
<br />
So about five or six years ago, I wanted to make a <i>Phantom Of The Opera-</i>style character for AMPUTHEATRE. He is after all one of the classic monsters, and he for sure <i>needed</i> a representative Slasher in my horror fighting game opus. Trouble was that the actual Phantom doesn't really have any abnormal powers. He's just a music teacher with a scarred face, and AMPUTHEATRE already has a wildly uneven beef-stroganoff-face-to-GQ-looker ratio.<br />
<br />
So I delved a little bit into <i>Phantom</i> folklore, and found out that Tony Todd once portrayed him on Broadway. At this time, Bill Cosby was making headlines for NO, NOT THE RAPES; he was approaching any podium that would have him and order black kids and black performers to stop swearing, pull up their pants, and quit embracing the thug life. So an African-American phantom determined to educate the inner-city youth on Shakespeare clicked with me... <br />

<br />
And Fantome is one of the better characters in the game, I feel; his
move set is cool and his man-catcher theater hook is quite iconic. Plus I got to make a black villain without falling on obnoxiously overdone stereotypes. Which is nice.<br />
<br />
So what I want to ask myself today is this: Would I have conceived Fantome if Andrew Lloyd Webber said "NO; THE <i>PHANTOM OF THE OPERA</i> IS WHITE, HE'S <b>ALWAYS</b> BEEN WHITE. TONY TODD CAN'T PLAY HIM, FUCK OFF"...? I can't say for sure.<br />
<br />
Shorter Stan Lee: We made Spider-Man's costume full-cover so he could be any race, BUT HE'S WHITE. Does it genuinely matter?<br />
<br />
...Why are so many of you comic book fans so creatively incarcerated and weirdly conservative? You swallow so many notions about these goofball stories, like rings that can affect anything except yellow things, a pair of glasses making Clark Kent indistinguishable from the train-hefting man-god, and the fact that <b>DEATH FLAT-OUT DOESN'T WORK</b> IN COMICS because these costumed cretins just come back twelve issues later.<br />
<br />
Creativity will always blossom, just give it a chance. Make a black Spider-Man.<br />

As I currently stuff myself with Hot & Spicy Cheez-It crackers (my wife is trying to kill me) I thought it best to kind of tell everyone what's been up lately.<br />
<br />
Hopefully you guys are enjoying the cartoons. I get a few likes here and there- and <a href="https://www.patreon.com/perkyandslick" target="_blank"><b>thanks to sweet people like you,</b></a> I'm earning a decent chuck of change from it. It's good to be doing it again... I always told myself I shouldn't due to the dichotomy of being an artist who builds figures of no sociopolitical slant who then turns around to draw something the complete opposite. But [back of palm to forehead] perhaps my own demons have always proved the worst.<br />
<br />
Hope you Northeasters are surviving this cold all right. I wanted to hold AMPUTHEATRE today (it being Friday the 13th and a national holiday) but <i>too cold fuck it...</i> Wanna see what else I've been doing?<br />

Hey, let's hope 2015 is going to be better than what came before, eh...? I know! I doubt it, too!<br />
<br />
One of my wife's top topics is the Jonestown Massacre of 1978, so with one final Holiday evening of a self-imposed Nothing To Do (no really: <i>final!</i> I gotta get my ass in gear), we saw <a href="https://www.netflix.com/WiMovie/70293414?trkid=200250783" target="_blank"><b><i>"The Sacrament"</i></b>,</a> which has been on both Netflix and several Best Horror Films of 2014 lists for a while now. Putting aside my trepidation of director Ti West, we fired up the XBOX and let Magnet Films and producer Eli Roth do their thing: Recovering drug addict Caroline has holed herself up at a drug-free retreat called Eden Parish. When she invites her fashion photographer brother Patrick to check it out, he arrives with Sam and Jake from VICE Magazine because there's clearly a story in here. There's also armed guards, an abused little girl, and an enigmatic religioso called Father whose paranoia kicks in by the arrival of the journalists- all of which turn Shangri-La into Shit Outta Luck in just shy of twenty-four hours.<br />
<br />
West creates an excellent atmosphere. The first half oozes with dread, and the second is nail-biting terror- exceptionally difficult to pull off in bright daylight since the climax occurs at morning, but damn. He also gets solid, creepy performances out of my actors, and this "found-footage" movie doesn't <i>feel</i> found-footage: there are quick edits and crisp cinematography that really captures the feeling of hiding in the woods from fuckers out to kill you.<br />
<br />
So what <i>is</i> my problem with Ti West? I don't think the guy is particularly creative story-wise. <i>The Sacrament</i> is an almost by-the-numbers Cliff's Notes of the Jonestown Massacre; all West left out was a selfless congressman. (Back when politicians did their jobs, it was Leo J. Ryan, California-D, who braved one assassination attempt to personally rescue the cult members and died to a second.) West has said that this film is his most horrific one yet, which isn't too hard when quoting cult leader Jim Jones directly. My wife has seen documentaries on Jonestown, and pretty much kept piping up "Yep! THAT happened!" "Yeah! The 'Please Help Us' note; THAT happened, too!" "Yeah, Jones TOTALLY said that!" throughout the viewing. Which is fine, but I can't really call it original. <i>Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, </i>and<i> The Silence of The Lambs</i> were all inspired by Ed Gein; you don't end THOSE movies with nipple belts weighing on your mind.<br />
<br />
But, for those unwilling to see real photos of a field in Guyana where you can't see the grass for the corpses (until 9/11 happened, Jonestown held the record for most killed American civilians), <i>The Sacrament</i> shines as a means of awareness towards a terrible tragedy. And one day, Ti West <i>will</i> receive a unique, innovative screenplay to direct, and<i> that </i>horror film is going to knock it out of the park. <b>5/5 cyanide syringes.</b><br />
<br />
<br />
...Oh, and I have a great idea: how about we, as a society, stop goddamn saying that obnoxious accusation of conformity known as <b>"You drank the Kool-Aid!"</b> Really<i>. </i>Not because the drink was actually <i>Flavor</i>-Aid, nor because of sensitivity to the survivors- for the record, there were a <i>lot</i> of last-minute epiphanies and they were all answered with bullets to the head. I mean, feel free if you <i>want</i> to keep using it, but consider this: <i>willingly drinking poison was the <b>fifth</b> insane thing</i> these people did. What does that say about <i>you!?</i> "Well, I can <i>see</i> why you thought this guy in dark glasses was the Nazarene; I have no problem with you selling all your shit to build him a compound in East Bumblefuck, Whereverthehell; I <i>completely</i> understand leaving your home, your career, your family, and everyone you know to live there in a tent with tropical insects; and I'm <i>totally down </i>with letting strangers have their way with me sexually and violently! But you <i>lose</i> me on the cyanide! Dude! You have <i>so</i> much to <i>live</i> for!" So the next time the rest of society gets in line for an iProduct or votes for the candidate you dislike and you just have to say <i>something,</i> do us all a favor: <i>bray like a sheep...? </i><br />
<b> </b><br />
Besides, <i>Kirk fucking Cameron,</i> a man who does not believe in evolution<i>,</i> said "You drank the Kool-Aid!" to his fellow Christian Christian in his execrable <i>Holiday</i> movie (ha, ha!) <i>Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas</i>, for not Jesus-ing everything up as much as <i>he</i> did. HE said it. There is FOOTAGE of him saying it. That automatically means it is no longer cool or funny. You don't want to be like Kirk Cameron, do you? Stupid question!<br />

Want to know what I thought about <b><i>Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas...?</i></b> (I put off writing about it for a bit; I thought I might draw a cartoon about it. But nah.)<br />
<br />
Yes, Virginia: The Gil-Monster saw the lowest rated film on iMDB ever- AND HE SAW IT IN THE <b>THEATER;</b>* BOW DOWN <i>BEFORE</i> ME, JOR-EL!! Hearing that this beast was playing at the local Regal outlet, I saw it as a personal challenge! So my wife and I went on a cold Monday matinee to inhabit the theater with one other person sitting back and center- to make sure no one was going to set fire to the screen, I suppose.<br />
<br />
The movie- and I use that term pan-galactically loosely as it's barely over an hour, even <i>with</i> credits and outtakes- opens with Kirk Cameron sitting at an easy chair. Sporting a gruesome beard that could only accompany a GPS-enabled ankle bracelet, Kirk espouses the joys of both Christmas and hot cocoa to an empty theater (save for me, my wife, and an old guy sitting back and center to make sure no one was going to set fire to the screen, I suppose). Exotic locations, like his real-life sister's living room and the interior of a SUV parked in a driveway, are where we are transported through the magic of film.<br />
<br />
We spend a glut of the running time in the latter as it's where Christian, Kirk's <i>fake</i> brother-in-law, sulks because he, like a lot of people, gets sad at Christmas because that damn tree in his living room and that fat shitheel in the red suit steals Jesus' thunder<i>- unlike</i> a lot of people. In a moment that deserves to be in every horror film, Kirk climbs into the passenger seat and plays Six Degrees Of Jesus Of Nazareth with everything Christmas-y. For example, Christmas tree lots are just like the Garden Of Eden because of all the trees in them- only with a lot less warmth, nudity and animals. Instead of doing the logical thing- which is gunning the engine, driving headlong into a tree, and casting this former fucking conservative child-star homophobe FUCK out his windshield- Christian agrees with every one of Kirk's batshit bonkers allegories. Returning inside, he slides headfirst into the presents and a dance party ensues. There you go.<br />
<br />
As short as this film is, it's also astonishingly PADDED. The camerawork is atrocious, with long slow-motion pans of Christian and his "wife"
filling out the denouement, and a rock where the baby Jesus was born is dissolved to twice
in the same scene. And the message... ugh. The message of this film is that so long as you can tie whatever you're doing to the Bible, it's all right. Be as materialistic as you like, says Kirk- really- because Christmas Day was the day that <i>Jesus took material form.</i> Uh-huh? UH-HUH...? There are even <i>more</i> slow pans on the turkey and the feast and Kirk's sister's fine china to emphasize this. And even the outtakes suck.<br />
<br />
Irony: one of Christian's beefs with Christmas is the money squandered on expensive one-off gifts, instead of food and clothing for the needy. Never once does he complain about the million or so spent nurturing Kirk Cameron's insanity with a selfish ego vehicle. There's a reason Rotten Tomatoes is tearing him a new one... 0/5 notions that a worm's-eye-view of the presents beneath the tree resembles the skyline of the future city of Jerusalem.<br />

style. Note Kirk's "O" face what with the floor being the most physical contact his crotch has received in years.<br />

*The Merritt family would like it known that the money that would have gone towards theater admission to <i>Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas</i> was instead donated to the starving children of the city of Panem; i..e., given to the first week gross of <i>Mockingjay, Part 1.</i> We felt Kirk Cameron could never be so gauche as to actually charge people to hear his message, given its importance.

Greetings, <a href="http://makerfairerochester.com/" target="_blank"><b>Rochester Mini Maker Faire</b></a> attendees! Welcome to the Chenille Macabre blog! I'm still in awe over how <i>huge</i> that show was, as my assistant will tell you. Did you manage to get a good look at the Gorynych I contributed to the raffle? I think it's pronounced "GORE-ee-NYKE", and I should have printed that on the publicity card I provided so as not to embarrass the announcer.<br />

<a href="http://www.patreon.com/creation?hid=1227388" target="_blank"><b>New</b> </a><b><a href="http://www.patreon.com/creation?hid=1227388" target="_blank">Perky & Slick</a> </b>is up at a place where you can read <i>Perky & Slick.</i> It's open to the public Thursday, but pledging gives you <i>cool</i> things like creator commentary and PDF's of each comic. Plus, I stay on the internet longer. Which is what this week's strip entails... give, won't you?<i><br /></i><br />
<br />
So I saw <i>Deadly Prey.</i> I gotta say: outside of slasher movies- where you got a mask, a few garden tools, ten friends, a camcorder, and <i>had at</i>- the "Rambo"-inspired military actioner could prove a close second when it came to DIY-home video movie making. You chat up your one friend at the gym with the rack and the looks, and sweet-talk him with the notion that his character is "haunted" so he doesn't have to say much or inflect anything, then you chat up your friends at the army surplus store to provide the uniforms and props, take all your bar buddies to the woods, and begin filming. Wahoo. Okay, there <i>are</i> a few helicopters and tanks in this. Anyway...<br />
<br />
The dishonorably discharged and diabolically deviant Colonel Hogan is feeling the screws tighten on his private mercenary enterprise from evil suit Troy Donahue, of all people. The many setbacks facing Hogan are<b> 1)</b> his arsenal's grenades and tank shells boast concussive force barely equivalent to that of a dung ball rolled by its beetle into the side of Fort Knox, <b>2)</b> his mercs are astronomically and explosively incompetent- inasmuch as a chunky, well-into-70 Cameron Mitchell can effortlessly sneak onto their compound and stealth-murder several of them whilst wearing a bright yellow shirt (this is based on truth), <b>3)</b> Hogan's self-defeating habit of thinning his own troops' numbers whenever they open the newer carton of milk before finishing the old, and of course <b>4)</b> Hogan's method of training said mercs- in which they kidnap random doughy guys from the suburbs, loose them unarmed in the California forests, and hunt them down- <i>and Prologue Random Doughy Guy actually </i>does<i> take one of them down!! With a ROCK!!!</i><br />
<br />
The final stream of urine in Hogan's cereal sprays when his men
unknowingly abduct Danton, a blonde mullet in filthy white cut-offs whom
Hogan personally trained. So awesome a soldier that he eschews such
trivialities as rifle sights, defensive cover, calling 911, and looting
the rifles from his kills, Danton stays in the woods to bamboozle and
kill Hogan's men over the course of 90 minutes with all manner of
impaling twigs and Styrofoam boulders. In a tasteful touch, women are
shot point-blank in the face. A rape scene also briefly unfuns the
proceedings, but the scenes where Hogan's squads obviously march ten
feet beneath the dead tree Danton "hides" in are fucking comedy gold.<br />
<br />
5/5 earthworms eaten by beefy mullety guys on screen for SURVIVAL. But don't take my word for it. Here's the thrilling denouement OH COME ON HE'S BEING SHOT POINT-BLANK IN THE FACE AND HE'S RUNNING FULL-TILT AT HIM <br />

The mask was a Spirit brand Werewolf mask. I removed the fur and ears, painted it black and gold, attached sturdy scrap mat board ears, and attached the headpiece of an Egyptian Pharaoh costume. A very fancy hieroglyphicky ribbon brought it all together. Not too bad. And I'm too old to trick or treat, but NEVER TOO OLD to walk my dog in costume!<br />
<br />
So I didn't finish that whole ONE HORROR FILM A DAY! deal. Sorry about that; October was uncommonly busy. I kept falling asleep through most horror films. I try not to build or draw during them so I can pay proper attention, but if my hands aren't moving then the rest of my body doesn't understand why it should. Eh, I'll keep watching stuff... <br />
<br />
Here are two children running around the Village Gate at <a href="http://maydayunderground.wordpress.com/" target="_blank"><b>Mayday! Underground</b></a> playing with a griffon and a dragon their parents bought from me. Don't you wish<i> your </i>children could be this happy?
