Venturing aimlessly around the internet oftentimes results in seeing things that cannot be unseen. Sometimes an image is so compelling that it leaves you with little choice but to take a closer look. The picture above is one of those images that demand more than a casual glance and investigating its origin is what led me to the discovery of The Happiness of the Katakuris; quite possibly the greatest Comedy Horror Musical since The Rockey Horror Picture Show.

In searching around to see what others were saying about this film I happened upon Film Grimoire's review of "Happiness" and as a result found another gem of a web site to share with the fans of BlogDogIt.

Enjoy!

From Patrick Higgs Facebook Page:
Yesterday spent all day the Film Festival for SWIFF. It the was first one they held and hopefully the first of many more to come. Unfortunately my film didn't win any of the awards, but it was well received and had a great round of applause at the end - and laughs in the right places. I realized it wasn't going to ever be perfect, but I was happy with the end product. Thank you to everyone involved in making it and helping in any way. I look forward to making another one soon and hopefully get better each time. On behalf of the Vampires of Dubois County, you are commanded to watch, and if you live in Dubois County, I will guarantee you in the coming weeks you will see more and more Vampires coming out of the coffin-maybe even knocking at your door.

Summer is almost at an end*.
Perhaps we can all still flock to the beach for one more dip, as they did here at Coney Island, ca. 1935.

Believe it or not I still try to make time to explore those many links to Belgian websites in the BlogDogIt article: Cyberspace-Archeology - "The Dig".  I am currently working my way through the "D" section and found myself on the website of Darkman: darklife.com, where I happened upon the following music video of Kawehi doing a mind-blowing cover of Nirvana's hit "Heart-Shaped Box."

Enjoy!

...but I would not let that stop you. She is all over social media and I for one plan to keep an eye on this techno-tunesmith. Maybe you will too. [smiley:;)]

Maniac on the Loose
Watch it now for free!

NOTE - Below is the review I wrote for IMDB: 

I had a good time watching Maniac on the Loose. If you have ever said that you like horror movies I am sure you will enjoy this too!

It is a brilliant tale about an escaped mental patient and why that can be a such bad thing. Steve Hudgins has woven a tale that should have everyone calling their local mental institutions to verify that ALL the doors are locked. It has been said that too much knowledge is a dangerous thing and Steve skillfully doles out this plot in a manner that perhaps will make you feel just a little too safe. But it's for your own good. You like surprises don't you? Do you like think you know the score? When a maniac is on the loose it is best just to stay at home, right? Really? In this case the best place to be is anywhere but Madisonville.

In some ways this is a cautionary tale on the pitfalls of on-line romance. In other ways it is a cautionary tale on the pitfalls of getting up and going to work. In ALL ways this is an excellent creation by the good folks at Big Biting Pig Productions. The camera work is admirable. The sound is A-O-K. The musical score is awesomely effective. The editing is Super-Good. The acting is just about to the top notch.

It has Humor cards. It has Suspense and Mystery Cards. It has Horror and Creepy cards. Are you in? The dealing has begun but beware, Steve has masterfully stacked this deck!

I recommend this for those who like good clever fiction with just enough terror to keep you glued to the screen.

Many thanks to Big Biting Pig Productions for teaming up with Snagfilms to bring this indie horror classic to the internet at large!

Share and Enjoy!

Follow with him now as he presents "an open minded glimpse into the notion of belief and skepticism in a small Irish Community.*"

Happy Tesla Day! - July 10th

Nikola Tesla
Inventor, Engineer (c. 1856–1943)

Serbian-American inventor Nikola Tesla was born in July of 1856, in what is now Croatia. He came to the United States in 1884, and briefly worked with Thomas Edison before the two parted ways. He sold several patent rights, including those to his alternating-current machinery, to George Westinghouse. His 1891 invention, the "Tesla coil," is still used in radio technology today. Tesla died in New York City on January 7, 1943. [biography.com]
