Covered In Goth, Count Coco Fang cerial, and other spooky kooky campy vampy thingy's

[Darth Eggplant]

well today in theatres Underworld starts,

I saw the Trailer and thought cool!

it even has a funny shakespearian angle to it,

a blood feud between

the Montiques and the Capulates.

(wolfies and vampies)

anyhow being a movie geek,

i like things like soundtracks;

and being spoilt with the really great music

the Matrix franchises have generated

I bought the Underworld OST and hated it,

hated it so much I took it to an Indie record store

and traded it for a copy of the OST for The Lost Boys.

 

now I get comments

from all kinds of gothlings these days,

trouble is I am old school goth

and I find new goths and old goths

just dont lie down the same way in the same coffin.

i mean i had the gothic vampirella

at the record store tell me,

well maybe you just are not into goth

or industrial or alt music.

I never say too much I smile.

I was at the record release party for Ministry

when The land of Rape and Honey was first released;

(thats right moshing wildly in purple smoke

from a smoke machine that broke and would not turn off,

also the clubs ventilation system could not handle the smoke,

we all had a great time and ministry kept playing

as if nothing had happened.)

and that was a big departure from

oom pa pa halloween song.

(although nostalgically the song is funny)

I like Ministry and Skinny Puppy

and Sisters Of Mercy and Dead Can Dance,

This Mortal Coil,

I could go on but I rant.

 

anyhow, I have seen almost every Vamp movie

ever \made even the real bad ones,

like George Hamilton's one.

the campy ones, the cool ones;

I've seen "shadow of the Vampire"

both John Malovitz and Willem Dafoe

they were both great!

and Gary Oldman, Tom Waits & Richard E Grant;

plus cool music for Dracua.

The part of Bella Lugosi in Ed Woods

by Martin Landau was god like

and earned him an osscar for of all things

cursing in a carpathian accent.

 

well the point is

Blade had a good song

at the vampire blood bath rave,

the rest I did not like.

Spawn had a kick ass OST!

and the coolest OST

was for a game called

Vampire The Masquerade Redemtion

that OST rocks!

it was sppoky music scored by

Kevin Manthei (invader zim fame)

and great songs like

Bad Blood by Ministry

and Creepy Green Light

by Type O Negative.

I think maybe at his website

http://www.kmmproductions.com

you still might be able to buy Vampire.

I just found 2 unrealeased tracks yesterday.

 

anyhow post is getting long.

I still hope movie is good,

but music is so important these days,

the music was okay, but just that okay,

not cool and not nearly viceral enough.

 

anyhow my little gothlings,

sing your songs of darkness

and the night here.

we can all share a bowl

of Count Coco Fang cerial together.

 

also before I forget

a music compilation called

Covered in Goth\

Vampires Straight To Hell

exists its worth owning;

with covers of classics like

Highway To Hell

Metallica's Nothing Else matters

and Prince\Shiela E song;

You've Got The Look.

Hmmm, I wanna see Underworld, but I'm reserving judgement until after I do.

Trailer looks cool, but I've seen too many cack vampire movies to know better.

 

Now to me, old school starts and ends with the Sisters, but I'm very limited in my Goth

 

It's got a stong Brit cast, so my hopes are high, but we'll see...
