Just when things were beginning to get stale with the horrorpunk genre along came the 80’s glam-inspired stylings of The Newlydeads, Wednesday 13, The Peppermint Creeps, Seraphim Shock, and Ironhead among others. And now as we reach the terminus of all the genre has to offer comes Spyder Baby. Fashionably late, but late all the same.

Hello Destroy The Brain visitors!  I’m proud to introduce DTB’s first literal contributor to the site.  Matt will be giving you Album Reviews by horror-esque and horror related bands!  For now, enjoy his review on Seattle’s 1st Crypticon.

Seattle hosted its inaugural horror convention here over Memorial Day weekend. And if you found out about it like I did, you found out about this shindig about three weeks before it happened. It seemed to have kind of a rushed feel. This was made plain when I arrived nearly an hour late on Friday and there were hardly more than six people in line to register. So as a consequence I did not know about it long enough in advance to secure press credentials. Truth be known, I was prepared to pay out of my own pocket since it was rare that something like this would happen in my town. So since I was willing to pay anyway I figured I may as well go in style and spring for the VIP package on the strength of Barbara Crampton and the Crazy Babysitter Twins (you’ll find I’m a total fanboy geek for all things Grindhouse). But the week-of all three of them dropped off the bill, as con guests are wont to do. It’s just a fact of life you learn to get used to. It was just my bad fortune that it happened literally days before and they were the whole reason I purchased the VIP ticket. But I digress.

I saw this up on the Rue Morgue boards and other websites, so I want to do my part. Please let your friends know and call them. If you can’t call them, fax them. I should be posting video tomorrow of me calling them. They were closed by the time I tried.

A Plea from Clive Barker:

My Dear Friends,
As you may or may not have heard, due to certain politics, “Midnight Meat Train” is in danger of Lionsgate not giving it a wide release. The below email was brought to my attention earlier today and shows a movement, of sorts, in order to get the picture the proper support and release it deserves. I’m asking you to please help spread the word in order for all to enjoy this film. I want to passionately encourage everybody who cares about my work to use this chance to change the minds of the folks at Lionsgate. I’m excited at the prospect of a movement of people who care deeply enough to initiate a campaign such as this.
Anything any of you can do - be it emails, web postings, word of mouth, and the like - to help encourage this movement would be deeply appreciated. The film is worth the effort in my mind, and I do not want to see my work fall by the wayside.
If any of you have any further ideas, thoughts, or suggestions to help with this effort, please let me know.

Thanks, as always, for your help and support.

Much Love,
Clive

OPEN LETTER TO ALL HORROR FANS:

WE NEED TO START A VIRAL CAMPAIGN TO GET THIS MOVIE A WIDER RELEASE!!!

A very reliable SOURCE from within Lionsgate has told me that the decision to dump Midnight Meat Train in as few as 100 screens and then rush the film to DVD is based purely on INTERNAL POLITICS.

Something along the lines of: the new head honcho does not like the old head honcho so he is deliberately dumping all of his films out of spite and malice.

But there is HOPE. The only thing that overrides backstabbing politics in Hollywood is PURE GREED. It is clearly not healthy for investor relations to dump a movie that has a vocal and dedicated audience. Midnight Meat Train represents the kind of horror film that audiences have been dying for!!!

There is growing internal pressure within the company for a wider release of this film and PUBLIC FAN PRESSURE may help to push this decision over the edge.

If you wish to see MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN in all its big screen glory at a THEATER near you, please do the following:

Cut and paste the message at the bottom of this post and e-mail it to:

1) investor relations at Lionsgate: keasterling@lionsgate.com

2) Lionsgate: general-inquiries@lionsgate.com

3) call Lionsgate at (310) 449-9200 and express your desire to see MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN get the release it deserves.

BE POLITE AND PROFESSIONAL! We do not want to piss them off, just want them to know how many fans out there would like to shell out their hard earned cash to see the most groundbreaking horror film of the past ten years in a real movie theater!

4) SEND THIS E-MAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!!

WE HAVE WAITED TOO LONG FOR THIS MOVIE TO LET IT GO STRAIGHT TO DVD!!!

Post this message everywhere, send it to your horror friends and spread the word! We need to act FAST to have an effect!!!

And LONG LIVE THE MEAT!!

HERE’S A SAMPLE MESSAGE FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE (or feel free to compose your own):

Dear Lionsgate,

As a long time Clive Barker fan, I am writing you to express my strong desire to see “The Midnight Meat Train” on the big screen.

Rumors are currently circulating that the film will only be released on a limited basis and I am very concerned that I will miss my opportunity to see the most highly anticipated Clive Barker film in over a decade in all of its big screen glory!

There are millions of horror fans like myself who have been disappointed by the recent trend towards watered down PG-13 horror movies. Clive’s work represents a return to serious, thought provoking horror movies and with Ryuhei Kitamura at the helm, I am even more excited to experience this collaboration as it was intended: in a packed theater with hundreds of other horror fans like myself!

I urge you to please give this film the release it deserves!

Many thanks,
YOUR NAME
