Motelx 2013 - Come out and Play said the Creeper

Creepy Crawlers,
Delusional Dames,
Satanic Spirits,
Mangling Monsters,
these are some of the things that give me shivers.
- Sara Dartmoor
 

hello again!
 I went to the Motel X in Lisbon, which is a very scary film festival!
and we love scary, right?

I really wanted to go in costume as Heidi from the new Rob Zombie movie; The Lords of Salem; which by the way I loved to watch immensely. again.
yes, I had already watch the movie but I just had to see it on the big screen, otherwise, what kind of a film addict would I be?
unfortunately I didn't have any spare time *cof, money, cof, cof* to make a good-to-decent costume, so I just flared a bit with some mean eyebrows and the Witches' symbol, that I would adore to tattoo one day.

they also had some cool stuff in exhibition, and just drooled over it...



 lovely guts.
needs more goo!


 now, the concept art, storyboard and little snippets of the actual workers:


 *lower left drawing caption: oh no you don't girlfriend!*
 


 you know, I'd have to say that there are many *jobs* I know I would be good at, and this...
would be one of them.
I actually tried to find courses that taught this type of stuff, but 11 years ago, all I could find was a private course all the way on the other side of my country, that besides being abhorrently expensive, it required high school courses done in chemistry... I was a major in Arts.

what happened to the good old days where a person could just learn by shadowing someone in the business?

 
 and this? I just thought it would be a good wallpaper.

we made plans with some friends to go see some of the new movies, like "The Conjuring" and stuff, but when we tried to buy the tickets to those movies, everything was completely sold out!
so it wasn't much of a big outing with our friends, but  we ended up being with our friend Freezer and some of his mates, who were really cool, and we just chatted about movies while me and Skav were eating dinner.

we ordered 2 large pizzas and a bottle of red wine.
now, we ordered wine because we *thought* the pizzas would suffice as means of not letting us get super trashed, and I'd had pizzas from Baldracca before, and my memory is that they were quite good. granted, it was some odd 3 years ago, but I never thought they would fall trough on quality as much as they did.

the pizzas were an almost comical paper thin dough the size of 2 dinner plates, with what seemed to be 2 table spoons of tomato sauce and 3 lonely, sad slices of pepperoni...

I think this better illustrates our feelings after seeing our "dinner":

 
so yeah, we had a bit of nothing-pizza with our red wine.
after a delightful conversation about Japanese horror movies, we said goodbye to the guys and went on to our designated movies.
me and Skav went to the viewing of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" the original, that I believe every person who even thinks about calling themselves a horror movie fan, has to watch at least once.
it's called old school son.


we were already late to the movie by the time we got up from the table, and even tho we had eaten the "pizzas" we couldn't leave the quarter of alcohol inside that bottle and just leave it there.
we have too much respect to our booze, so we just put the rest of it inside an empty water bottle and continued our drinking inside of the cinema.
was it allowed? I don't think so, but I think we were passed the respect for rules, after downing almost an entire bottle of wine in less than 20 minutes.
an awesome thing about that movie was the person who was going to present it, and it was no other than the amazing Tobe Hooper!!!
my Skav is the real fan of his work, but I was in such a stupor of booziness that I was the one who couldn't contain herself. I was so excited to meet a master of horror like him that the moment he walked through the stage door I went ballistic and waved like a maniac to him, and we were so close to him, that he saw us.

well, I don't like to put my excuses on the booze, but I believe that for character protection I will do it just this once.
the next thing I did was to... "wiggle" my boobies at him while the crowd was applauding insanely.
I was applauding my own way. I'm *different*.
but the most awesome part is that he in fact SAW me, and started saying hello and giving me the thumbs up, smiling with is cute grampa face.

I guess he liked what he saw. 

I could find a very witty way to explain how I think I was behaving at that moment, considering the whole previous rumbustious happenings of that night, but there is nothing I can parody better than the great Seth McFarlane can't do, so... this ended up being me and Skav when meeting a famous movie maker:



 stay cool!
xoxo
