60-second claymation Evil Dead is as good as the real thing

I like The Evil Dead, but the problem with full length movies is you have to watch them, which requires sitting still and paying attention for a really, really long time. That’s why I think this sixty-second remake is perfect. And the claymation style looks right at home if you remember some of the effects from the original.

The movie was made for a contest for Empire magazine. If you like it, you have until March 12th to vote for it–click over to the Empire site and cast your vote.

There’s a sixty-second version of A Nightmare on Elm Street too, and although it’s got some impressive recreation of Freddy’s glove and his phone-sex gag (see image to the right), it’s nowhere near as satisfying as this one.

Evil Dead remake with clay and done in 60 seconds, made for the Empire Jameson competition 2010. http://www.missinghead.co.uk

SNL video: bathroom terror with Ellen Page and Dracula

If you don’t watch SNL, I don’t blame you, but you may have missed this short last year that spoofs the gotcha! moment in horror movies when someone appears out of nowhere in the bathroom mirror.

Note: if the embedded video doesn’t show up below, blame NBC, not my blog, and click here to view the clip on their site.

Full video of Disney World’s Haunted Mansion!

Disney World upgraded their Haunted Mansion this summer with new effects and new audio elements. The Orlando Attractions magazine/blog was good enough to video the entire ride–including the darker parts in “night vision”!

Haunted Mansion video clips part 1

The video is murky throughout, but if you’ve never been, it’s a cheap way to at least get a feel for it (even if the video doesn’t really capture the experience in its full glory).

Oh, and be sure to wear headphones–the audio is binaural! SPOOOOOOKY!

Download the video directly from the Orlando Attractions website.
