Artists you should know- Suehiro Maruo

Posted on June 1, 2011 by SleazeeVulture

Suehiro Maruo was born in 1956 and has been disturbing people ever since.

Perhaps you’ve seen his work with John Zorn’s Naked City

Or have watched his bizarre work translated into the animated film Mr. Arashi’s Amazing Freak Show (1:40 in is when stuff gets wild).

Or maybe this is your first exposure to Mr. Maruo, and if that’s the case get ready to have your mind blown, his work is some of the most beautifully disgusting stuff we’ve ever seen. All of the following images are pulled from the 1988 book Bloody Ukiyo-e. Enjoy…

Not so scary…

Posted on May 31, 2011 by Roil Vulture

When we were kids, we used to watch movies that were WAY too old for us and at times, scared the living shit out of us. Now we can look back and say “What a fucking pussy I was. That’s stupid.” but try to think back and remember the shit that made you weep with fear. This trailer Tuesday is all about those cinema relics that we can say with full adult confidence “hah. that’s not scary.”

I grew up with 2.5 miles of woods behind the house. This movie was SUPER scary but now it’s just kinda dumb and awesome.

Now you see it, now you don’t.. NOW YOUR DEAD! stfu Demon Wind..

In hindsight, killer man eating yoghurt isn’t all that scary.

had I known then how cool a movie about Metal, Demons and seances would be I wouldn’t have been so scared. But I was fucking TERRIFIED of having eyeballs come out of my hands.

Jessica Tandy in a nightgown is STILL the subject to my most violent night terrors. On a positive note, I think I just made a huge breakthrough and my psychiatrist is going to be STOKED!
