True Blood, Eric’s arse… Can I get a hell yeah!
Posted by Ms Harker | Filed under Horror TV
So unlike some arsehole on Facebook I will not ruin the latest episode of True Blood with any spoilers, as happened to yours truly. I will however let you all in on a tidy little bonus of this episode… Eric’s arse makes an appearance. Oh and it was worth the wait! Hell yeah!
No longer do we have to look a moody Bill’s… moon. His foppish burgundy (whatever the fuck colour you call it) mop, which here’s hoping, for poor Sookie’s sake, the collar don’t match the cuffs!
The Nordic sheriff appeared in his glorious pallor, seductively curved amongst white satin sheets, setting off the the blue in his eyes just so. Highlighting the golden hue of his not too girly long but not nazi short hair. His masculine shoulders and back forming a natural line pointing the gaze down to his muscular yet soft perfectly shaped buttocks.
Oh and for the boys Sookie was lying there naked too, but ladies I know you feel me, who gives a shit, can I get another… Hell Yeah!
The undead Nordic god has rocked my evening and I’m sure will make another appearance in my dreams tonight… That is all.

Life Imitates Horror: Man branches out… literally!
Posted by Ms Harker | Filed under Life imitates Horror
Post a weekend of horror infused viewing I feel it necessary to drop back into reality… kind of! Whilst indulging one of my guilty viewing pleasures ‘Nip Tuck‘, which stars hot Aussie export Julian McMahon, whose arse I can never see enough of no matter what kind of slapper he is humping. Those of you unfamiliar with the show, in summary its about two debauched, yet not too hard on the eye plastic surgeons who have drunk, snorted and screwed their way through five seasons of medical freak shows, serial killers and porn stars. You can understand why I adore it! It is quiet time in the Harker household when Julian is on for the night, hush now Mumma’s watching her stories!
Good Evening Julian...
The show took an empathic yet horror like turn towards the end of season five by featuring the storyline of a man who was half tree. Yes, you heard me half man half tree. He had a skin disease that presented with warts that looked like bark, extending into tendril like growths on his hands and feet disabling him completely. So, fascinated, I did some investigating into whether this tale was based in fact.
It was… The story was based on the life of an Indonesian man who came to media attention in 2007 via the Discovery Channel. The man had suffered the condition for twenty years, getting his first growth at the age of 15yrs, post falling and cutting his knee. The disorder is believed to be caused due to the man suffering a rare auto-immune deficiency coupled with contraction of the human papilloma virus. Accumulating in these tree like growths on his body, surgeons made efforts to initially remove them, but the virus spread to resulting in his condition (see below).
So what’s the moral of the story kids, always where thongs/flip flops in the shower, especially when showering with trees… Oh and don’t have sex with trees there are 100 types of human papilloma virus, 30 of which are transmitted sexually… I know there’s room here for a ‘Got wood?’ joke but that would be tasteless.

Hell Girl, pull the scarlet thread, you know you want to!
Posted by Ms Harker | Filed under Asian Horror, Horror Animation
Over the years I have copped a little bit of flak from friends who do not understand my love for Anime. ‘Why do you watch cartoons?’ they ask, well its because ‘insert explanation of Anime’s artistry and in depth story telling’, this discussion is usually pointless, however if drunk may end in a ’suck my balls’ comment from yours truly! Today I want to introduce you to a wicked little lass who I have been watching intently for the past week, her name is Ai Enma aka Hell Girl!
Hell Girl is an Anime which first aired in Japan in 2005 and from her web presence has a large following of fansites, merchandise and Cosplay look a likes.
Hell Girl is called upon via an internet page called the ‘Hell Correspondence’ to wreak vengeance for those who have been wronged. The victims can only find the web page at midnight, whereby they then type in the name of their oppressor. If their cause is just, Hell Girl presents them with a straw doll which has scarlet thread around its neck. If the victim chooses to pull the thread then their enemy is carted off to the depths of hell by Hell Girl and her team (which includes a spunky young man, a wise old sage who chain smokes and a busty raven haired woman dressed in an extremely loose kimono) in a nightmare fashion in order to try and teach them the error of their ways. However there is a price, there must always be a price. If you choose to pull the scarlet thread when you die, your soul will also go to Hell, so the choice is yours, would you pull the thread?
Hell Girl and her crew!
The season I watched was 26 episodes long, now I don’t know how many of you out there are Anime fans? So lets be honest, sometimes when these series go on for more than 12-15 episodes they can go a bit loopy, lets say tangential. All of a sudden there is a fifth dimension, a doppelganger or a giant robot that enters the fray and you are as confused as all crap left wondering what happened. This is not the case with Hell Girl. Even though at some points the whole carrying souls off to hell bit got repetitive (see below for clip), about halfway through not only did the methods of teaching the condemned souls a lesson become more horrific (my favourites are in the episodes ‘Island Woman‘, ‘The Night Among Traveling Entertainers’ and ‘Bride Doll’) we start to see the story unravel as to how Ai Enma came to be Hell Girl.
The use of traditional Japanese imagery such as cherry blossoms, strong red and brown Autumn leaves, Japanese costuming; juxtaposed with the frenetic city dwellers is striking both visually and is reflected in the narrative throughout the series. The tension characters feel between their duty, their sorrow and the traditional versus the present is constantly conveyed in the stories of each victim and eventually Hell Girl herself.
This is not hard core Anime horror, like ‘Wicked City‘ there are no women with teeth in their vagina’s who turn into giant spiders (I’ll review that some other time, the spider chick rocks!). Hell Girl is a more subtle, haunting style of horror, playing on people’s desire for vengeance and exposing the evil’s that human kind perpetrate on each other, delivering the unique yet eternal cost that hell provides.
