Laughing At Outer Space

Posted on 20/05/2012 by

In the past Ed Wood’s infamous sci-fi flick Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959) has been dubbed the “worst movie ever made”, but I think this charge is highly debatable. True, it is incredibly amateurish, but there’s nothing particularly offensive … Continue reading →

GothWatch: Stevie Ryan

Posted on 03/05/2012 by

Just when I thought my Stevie-fever had peaked, I discover that she once recorded a comedy video in full Goth get-up! Swoon! I couldn’t really dig up any details about the song “Goth Blocked”, but it’s credited to Adam Paranoia … Continue reading →

Quasi-GothWatch: Tiffany, Bride of Chucky

Posted on 22/02/2012 by

I’ve never seen the first three Child’s Play movies, which are notorious in this country for supposedly inspiring an actual case of juvenile murder, but I happily hopped on board when long-serving writer-creator Don Mancini rebooted the franchise as self-referential … Continue reading →

Quasi-GothWatch: Jade West

Still on a “tween sitcom” kick, I made the mistake of checking out an episode of Victorious on TV yesterday morning. For those who don’t know, this unit-shiftin’ Nickelodeon show stars Victoria Justice as an aspiring singer named ‘Tori Vega’, … Continue reading →

GothWatch: Nancy Downs

Posted on 20/10/2011 by

Switching my focus from vampires to witches, I watched The Craft (1996) last night, and reacquainted myself with one of the coolest/cutest/craziest fictional Goth chicks of all time. For those who don’t know, this horror flick tells the story of … Continue reading →

BeatnikWatch: Lynn Collins

Posted on 17/08/2011 by

While watching Down With Love (2003) the other day, it occurred to me that “Comedy Beatnik” characters were the old-timey precursor to modern “Comedy Goth” characters… in the sense that they both wear a lot of black, and like to … Continue reading →

Quasi-GothWatch: Monica Bellucci

Posted on 30/07/2011 by

I recently discovered that Monica Bellucci is one of my longest-standing crushes. Obviously I was familiar with her recent roles in movies like Shoot ‘Em Up and The Matrix sequels, but I didn’t realise she also played one of the … Continue reading →

Quasi-GothWatch: Tara Reid

Posted on 20/06/2011 by

A while ago I was messing around with one of those silly little multiple-choice quizzes you find online, to determine how “Goth” I was… but it turned out to be some sort of scam where you had to send them … Continue reading →
