These are without a doubt some of the FUNNIEST examples of defaced money of all time.
In the world of today where art and viral imagery is as transmitted like an intellectual currency in itself, there are those whom have taken their art to a peculiar medium. Possibly created out of sheer boredom or the never seen hilarity that would ensue when that money was given to someone who would appreciate the characters depicted, one thing is for sure.... It might be illegal to deface money, but it is certainly worth all the laughter in the shadow of the chance that an authority figure will have definitive proof you performed the dastardly deed in question. These are without a doubt some of the FUNNIEST examples of defaced money of all time. One off Harry Potter humor for the win... Too soon?

The Human Race (2013) follows 80 confused people from all walks of life after they are plucked from their everyday lives to participate in a race to stay alive. Each participant in this competition of life or death hears their own voice in their heads telling them the rules of a game being played in an unknown location, 'If you are lapped twice, you die. If you step off the path, you die. If you touch the grass, you will die. Race... or die.' The struggle to survive and determine what brought these doomed people together for this contest of futility will prove exhausting and lethal.
In the slew of films depicting a group of unrelated individuals forced into the ever-present battle to the death, there has been many of noteworthy films. From Battle Royal to the new Hunger Games Franchise inspired by the novels of the same name, a niche is being carved from the genre that is oddly pleasant to watch. It is in the vein of such films that The Human Race makes it's presence known as a unique and inventive stab at the horror premise where seeming everything has become redundant. What I found separated The Human Race from similar films that preceded it, was an incomparable cinematic brilliance and perhaps the most rounded group of actors I've ever seen in an independent horror film. Taking the lead and showing that “handicap” is a misnomer is Eddie McGee. Former Big Brother winner and inspiration to those whom have followed his career, McGee's role solidifies him as a role model for fellow amputees and industry newcomers alike. “Horror movies are rehearsals for our own deaths.” |
Dracula A cannibalistic creature once believed to have been myth, his craving for blood has resulted in the death of more than 600 people across the United States. Age unknown, the Government is unable to appropriate the exact number of victims he has left in his wake or his current location. The public is advised to refrain from being outdoors after dark, and to prepare themselves for the possibility of an attack under any circumstances. Description: Charismatic and hauntingly normal, it is in the wisdom of age that the infamous serial killer Dracula has learned to blend in without drawing attention to himself. Bursts of uncontrollable anger prior to drinking fresh blood make him violent. It is only on these times that Dracula will show his actual form. |
Open Grave follows the events that unfold when John, a middle aged man with no recollection of who he is our why he is in a pit full of bodies, climbs from the chasm of death to inevitably meet others who are burdened by similar memory loss. In a struggle to figure out the circumstances of their amnesia and who is responsible for the macabre that lurks in the unknown outside, tensions and confusion culminate to something none of them could have anticipated.
This is undoubtedly the most brilliant work to date from Director Gonzalo López-Gallego. A meeting of some of the most underrated actors in the last decade, cinematography that makes the abundance of awards the film won entirely justified, and spot on writing...Open Grave flawlessly injects you with a state of morbid curiosity equaled to that of the characters themselves. As much as I'd like to spew all this film's secrets and correlate it to the specific genre which it impeccably perfected, a promise that you will be awestruck is going to have to suffice.

Yes indeed you've read that correctly. 91-year-old Horror and Sci-Fi legend Christopher Lee has released a heavy metal Christmas single. Titled “Jingle Hell”, the single features a b-side cover of Frank Sinatra's “My Way”. A followup to the '12 release "A Heavy Metal Christmas", Lee's lesser known exploits in music have blessed many of the soundtracks of the films he has starred in.
The most peculiar part of this meeting of a cinematic legend and metal music is that it is simply incredible! Who would have known that the deep speaking voice and presence of Lee would translate so well to one of the heaviest metal covers of a Christmas song we've ever heard. You can currently check out some samples on Amazon, and get a behind the scenes glimpse at the birth of one of the most profoundly “Jolly” singles ever in the teaser trailer:
In honor of Friday the 13th and one of most celebrated horror franchises in history, I asked myself... If given the opportunity to RE-DESIGN the legendary antagonist Jason Voorhees, how would I do it?
We've seen Jason tall in stature, average to muscular build. We've seen him indulge in his murderous exploits adorning a cloth bag with one eye hole, the iconic hockey mask in various levels of weathering and even a metal version that he wore in Jason X. His appearances and even mannerisms have changed throughout the franchise, with much of the body movements most recognized today being improvised by Kane Hodder on set. The way Jason looks and then turns his body in the direction he is looking, the deliberate tilt of the head and many other actions gave a bleak yet present personality to the killer which seemingly had none. |
The story of Jason has a familiarity in pop culture as known as Dracula's favorite beverage, and for that reason I will simply delve into how I would manifest that story whilst paying homage to the original.
At a young age Jason Voorhees would find self hatred and insecurity normality. Disgusted by his weight and appearance he often found satisfaction in putting other children down, bullying and forcing his will upon them. His mother Pamela was blind to her son's actions, and did nothing but spoil the young boy with anything and everything he possibly wanted.
While trying to support her gluttonous and spiteful son, Pamela would land a part time job at Camp Crystal lake, where she would ultimately force Jason to attend as to save money on child care. Furious at his mother's choice, Jason's presence at the camp would follow suit with the tendencies that he had in school. Tormenting his fellow camp goers, he had no consideration or empathy for others. His mother had once been told by school counselors that her son had some psychopathic traits and asked that she seek the aid of a psychiatrist for the young boy. It was at this camp where this would be all the more obvious to everyone except for Pamela herself.
Sitting on dock watching the other children swim and enjoy themselves from beyond his reach, Jason whom was terrified of the water scoffed at their joy as the lifeguard sought out Pamela to tell her of her son's actions while under her supervision. It was then that karma and inevitability would prove true for the young boy, as another child would push Jason off the dock and into the water.
Screaming for his life wasn't any louder than the screams of laughter while the bullied children watch Jason squeal, unaware that he was drowning and not throwing his atypical temper tantrum. Jason's cries for help would prove to be his last.

Prepare to be mind blown. The following 11 Horror Movie facts are enough to send a horror fanatic into a NERDGASM!
11. ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES WOODY A DULL TOY
The iconic carpet design used in The Shining (1980) was used in Sid's house in the Toy Story (1995). Although the colors are different, the design is intentionally an homage to Kubrick's classic. Toy Story Director Lee Unkrich was asked about this coincidence and reason behind the subtle nods to the cult film, he stated..
"I saw it when I was 12, in 1980, for no particular reason other than that it was a new film in theaters. My mom took me to see it. She’d taken me to see a few bad horror films that had affected me really deeply in terms of having chronic nightmares. But still, that didn’t stop her from taking me to see this one. And it turned out to be the best move she ever made — because it began this 32-year love affair with the film. It was the film that inspired me to become a filmmaker myself."

In the wonderfully inventive world that is the horror industry, there are many ways which film-makers cut costs and or utilize resources to enhance their motion picture. One such example is that of the infamous mask worn by Michael Myers in the Halloween Franchise. Simply a Captain Kirk mask painted white with eye holes widened and hair teased... The mask has become synonymous with terror and has gone down in horror history.
This got the minds at Horror Central wondering... WHAT IF another celebrity's face was used instead of William Shatner? Would it carry the same ever-present fear or just be entirely ridiculous. The following images represent how different pop culture icons would look covering the face of Michael Myers.

TOM CRUISE
Yeah.. That's right. Our fun loving Scientologist extraordinaire could ALMOST pull off a horrifying mask. In essence though the douchebaggy expressions that he comes by naturally would ultimately make the mask rather non intimidating.
