The Theatre Bizarre (2011)

The Theatre Bizarre was another Netflix special - tossed on as a background film while I was doing other things. It turned out to be another one that I stopped and put on when I could actually sit and watch it.

We have another anthology venture here. A woman gets drawn to this strange theater and slips inside. Mannequins and dummies populate seats here and there. She takes a seat herself and Udo Kier walks onto the stage in some of the most creepy dummy makeup I've seen in a while. He introduces the first act and additional dummies come to life on stage...and away we go.

I won't go into much more. We have a series of short horror films presented well, shot well and written well for the most part. The stories are interesting and engaging and well worth a viddy. Sort of like the old HITCHHIKER HBO show from back in the day. Nothing "brilliant", but nothing I wish I had my life back from either.

On Netflix streaming at the time of this post.  Check it!

Dark Music Mixes of Simon Drax

The wondrous SIMON DRAX has some cool music mixes on the 8 Tracks site for those who have a little darkness in them.

Are you looking for a little mood swing music from the twilight reaches of the soul? Look no further than DRAX! He uses the site to craft mixes that create a mood and space that strikes a dark and melodious cord. I find myself taken with the choices time and time again. He has a real sense of flow and direction that I find to be very pleasing. The the chosen music is an eclectic and wondrous mix as well. Groups I would never know about spin round each other expertly - one song leading into another with expert vision.

Turn out the lights. Settle in. Take a listen.
