The January Phantasmagorical, 2012
Wherein ChillerPop presents a short, unwordy lazy roundup of the
month in phantasmagoric, creepy, spooky, speculative, fantastical,
wonderful, science-fictiony, monstrous, psychotronic and strange...and
stuff like that...
I was introduced by my friend to the jaw droppingly disturbing world of....Salad Fingers! (and you may have probably known about this for months, however I am not highly susceptible to viral stuff)
Finally, a fellow OSer and I share an obsession with pop culture moral panics and conspiracies of a spiritual nature. I encourage you to read Beth Winegarner's "Backward Messages" (I'm very jealous of the blog title).

I'm frustrated in my attempts to try to see Wicker Man pseudo-sequel (spiritual sequel?) The Wicker Tree,
on which across the pond and selected screening reviewers have had
mixed feelings. I don't care - that's how much I love the original.
Again: Nic Cage? NOT INVITED TO THIS PARTY.
This may turn into a stand-alone article, but Lifetime
Movies have much worth for connoiseurs of psychotronica. And there
surely could be no more perfect Lifetime movie than Drew Peterson: Untouchable starring Rob Lowe. I don't want to suggest that we should find mirth and amusement in a true story of domestic violence (in fact, this article takes that very stand), but Drew Peterson: Untouchable was
unfortunately a howlingly funny bit of unintentional wrong fun. Try
not to be enthralled by the hypnotic power of the 'stache and the
midwestern accent....or Rob Lowe's striptease...

On The Soup, they
completely made me want to watch the Drew Peterson: Untouchable,
especially the last scene where he does the slow strip tease at the
police station!! ~L~
"I'M UNTOUCHABLE!!" :D
"I'M UNTOUCHABLE!!" :D
Poor Nic Cage. Hasn't he managed to pay off the IRS yet? Why else would he continue to make such awful movies/remakes?
With regard to Rob Lowe, my junior high crush, not even for him will I watch the Victim Channel. I look forward to your stand alone post.

Thanks for the link to
The Wicker Tree trailer. I know we're both big fans of The Wicker Man,
and I'll certainly be seeing this new film from Robin Hardy, too. I
have avoided the Nic Cage remake like the bubonic plague.
I didn't even realize it was Rob Lowe in that photo until I read your text and then looked back up ... and then wailed with laughter. Thought Salad Fingers was great, too.
I like this idea for a monthly digest!

Tink - I just knew the soup would have to show something about Drew Peterson! I wish I'd seen it!
Muse - the Victim Channel indeed! There's something almost endearingly constant about the formula of their movies of the week
VA - great to hear from you as always! I'm glad you liked Salad Fingers...he's quite an interesting chap.

Drew Peterson: Untouchable? Oh no. Say it isn't so!
