News: Bigfoot Family Living In Man's Backyard!

The Radio Show, Overnight AM, have contacted and interviewed a 70-year old man, named Mike,  who claims that a family (or group) of Sasquatch often visit his back garden at night. He claims the pack consists of an adult male, adult female and two infants. If the gentleman is genuine and he has (and is) witnessing these creatures then this could be the single most important development in zoology. Just think.  Click the link below to listen to the interview and be amazed as Mike answers the questions and explains how he is witnessing the family in the background as he speaks! It's incredible.

Attack of the Mutant Animals!

No it's not a 1950s communist-fearing sci-fi film, I'm talking about the sudden abundance of freakishly mutated animals. Added today (here's a link)to the quickly increasing list of mutant pests was this five legged frog which a dog walker spotted. Along with the two headed cow and the 12 fingered/toed child are we seeing a rise in mutants? Could this be the start of a mutant animal outbreak? Hopefully.

This strange occurrence is nothing new however and freaky animals have been recorded before records began (yes, that makes no sense.) So, ladies and gentlemen, here is a list of the best and most famous freaky mutated animals. I present to you the Circus of the Freaky Mutated Creatures...

Oh and NONE of these are photo-shopped in any way. They're the real deal.


1) The Winged Cat - and not just one odd feline either. There's been well over 20 off these creatures. Very strange. How the hell does this happen! Must be something to do with the genes. Unless of course they're parents were naughty pussies.Check out the Wikipedia page for a whole list of them!

2) The Featherless Chicken - Not all mutations are natural or the product of a freak accident. Some are purposefully altered such as the Featherless Chicken which was breed not to just look ugly, but to make it easier to prepare for eating.
Think about it - how macabre could you get.

3) Two Headed Turtle- Born in a Pennsylvanian Aquarium, this little turtle was born with two heads at either end of it's shell, yet only had one pair of back feet and one tail. Teenage Mutant Ninja Conjoined Twin Turtles!

4) Two Faced Star - No, I'm not talking about celebrities! This is a genuine cow with two faces on one head.  Born in Virginia  has THREE sets of teeth and two tongues. Most freaky of all though is that the cow has only one eye socket in the middle of it's head...with two eyes in!

Last 5 Films Seen

Time for the last 5 films seen list. Complete with mini-reviews and clips! Hooray!

1) Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street (1979)
 Forget the Burton version of this Sondheim classic musical, that is NOTHING compared to the original stage version. The songs are better, the acting is better, the comedy is better, everything is better. Out of all the versions of Sweeney Todd none have quite come close to this particular version and George Hearn and Angela Lansbury are the best Todd/Lovett you'll ever see. Highly HIGHLY recommended!






2) The Capture Of Bigfoot (1979)
The 1970s was one of the most prolific decades for the incredibly underrated Bigfoot film. Sure the films were bad, and this is no exception, but they were a lot of fun too. This is one of the better ones complete with an evil villain with a maniacal laugh, a car chase, lots of snow and some sentiment thrown in there too.

Zombie News!

Here at Circus of the Freaky, I aim to bring to you not only reviews of freaky horror films, weird news stories, unexplained mysteries and other such paranormal hoohar but also the latest in (awesome) zombie news. So every now and then, I, the Freak, shall post a couple of links to the best and newest zombie material. Enjoy!

To kick start it all off....

Everyone's heard about the Orson Welles radio broadcast of War Of The Worlds which caused wide-spread panic across America. What with the recent popularity of zombies it wasn't long before there was a zombie version of this radio broadcast (not to mention the War Of The Worlds Plus Blood, Guts And Zombies book) which was entitled Zombie Influx. This CD presented itself as a real life radio broadcast of a zombie outbreak complete with sound effects and great music. Check out the site here for more information. Now, another one has come along and it goes by the name of The Zombie Cookbook. A CD very similar to Zombie Influx but with a focus more on Metal (music). Click this link to listen to a few tracks.


NEXT:

Everyone who is anyone in the field of zombie fandom has played Left 4 Dead (1 & 2). There's no two ways about it. That's just the way it is. And for those who have the PC version, well another brilliant Mod has been release. A Mod that allows the player/s to fight hordes of flesh-eating, screaming zombies in the world of Indiana Jones. I present to you: Indiana Jones And The Temple Of The Zombies! The link here allows you to download the Mod for free! Oh yeah!


And next...

Weekly Comp - Samurai Zombie - 04/07/2010

Besides running this blog, I also run the competitions on the Cult Labs forums. For those who haven't visited this site, I cannot recommend it high enough if you're a fan of film, especially cult/horror/exploitation. Full of great, knowledgable and very friendly members this is the one forum you'd ever need to join.

This week's competition prize is...

“GOOD NASTY FUN WITH GREAT ACTION SEQUENCES, ACTUAL PLOT TWISTS AND SMART, LIGHT-FINGERED CARTOON VIOLENCE.” – BOXOFFICE.COM



From screenwriter Ryuhei Kitamura (director of ‘The Midnight Meat Train’ and writer-director of ‘Versus’) and director Tak Sakaguchi (the star of ‘Versus’ and fight choreographer for ‘Tokyo Gore Police’ and ‘Vampire Girl Vs. Frankenstein Girl’) comes Samurai Zombie, a splatter-filled, genre blending, horror-comedy that delivers precisely what its title promises.

A vacationing family’s drive through the tranquil woods surrounding Eight Spears Village takes an unfortunate turn when their car hits a gun-toting man standing in the middle of the road. Suddenly, a young man and woman emerge from the woods and, after shooting the accident victim, proceed to car-jack the family taking them hostage in the process. The situation immediately goes from bad to worse when the car suffers a blowout and dad is sent off in search of a spare tyre or an alternative means of transport while his wife and two kids remain in the hands to the two apparent psychopaths.

Unfortunately, any sign of deliverance for dad, his family or their captors is a long way off. Before he can find help, a mysterious encounter with a rather large blade leaves the head of the family headless, precipitating a bloody rainfall and the resurrection of a long-dead samurai warrior with a mean streak and a score to settle. Meanwhile, back at the car, a derelict old hag appears before the stranded group with a dire but frighteningly convincing warning: “You’re all going to die!” Confirmation of this stark proclamation soon comes in the form of the undead warrior looking to add to his newly-begun collection of severed heads.

A highly recommended addition to the recent wave of Japanese extreme splatter movies, Samurai Zombie sees director Sakaguchi and writer Kitamura playing for laughs and shocks in equal measure with a joyously demented zombie flick that includes scenes of explosive geyser-spouting decapitations, hilariously graphic dismemberment, wince-inducing oral castration and the introduction of a pair of bumbling cops with an amusing case of serious gun envy. Size, it appears, is everything.

Samurai Zombie (cert. tbc) will be released on DVD (£15.99) by MVM on 19th July 2010.


So head on over to the Cult Labs forums to be in with a chance of winning!

Two Headed Cow Born - A Miracle?

Yep, that's right, this is moo joke. Last Saturday a cow was born in Egypt with two (fully functional) heads! The farmer and several others instantly described it as a 'devine miracle' and surely a sign of God. I, on the other hand, think it's an ugly freak. What's the point of a two-headed cow?! There's not much meat on a skull! A miracle or a freak? Whatever it is, one thing is for certain; cow's are officially the greediest animals. First three stomachs and now two heads! The spoilt cow.

OAP tortured and buried alive for two years!

Everyone has a phobia, from spiders to buttons, but perhaps one of the most terrifying is being buried alive.  Premature burial was such a prominent fear during the 18th/19th centuries that coffins were specially designed just in case of such an incident, complete with a bell, and occasionally even a toilet! So, unsurprisingly, it's a very serious fear. Now imagine being buried alive (in a coffin) for two years - only being fed once a day. Now imagine being buried alive in a coffin for two years by your very own family. Now try, if you can, to imagine being buried alive by your family and tortured through several holes drilled into the coffin.

Well, for one 72 year old man this was very real. It all took place in West India where eight family members (perhaps even more) buried the old man alive and tortured him daily. But why? For a portion of his land. Madness.

Bigfoot: A Fan Of Rock Music!

Bigfoot. Besides problematic footage, the odd footprint and 'hair' samples not much is known about the creature. So much so many people think it's just bullshit. But one thing is for certain; Bigfoot is a Hard Rock musician. Naturally.

A Sasquatch costumed Hard Rock band that are so awesome they could rock the roof off any Yeti's cave. Consisting of the Abominable Frontman, the ladies-apeman  drummer SasCrotch, the hairiest Bassist to live,  BassQuatch and lead guitarist Shredi the Yeti this throwback to the 1970s rock band is quickly gaining a huge following of Bigfoot and rock fans alike.

Check out the group's MySpace or Facebook page for more details and of course the videos on YouTube too.
