The Evil Ad #25


A very simplistic Halloween ad for Ballentine Ale depicts a jack-o-lantern stating a convincing truth: "that's Ale brother!" Thanks Mr. Lantern for your enlightening observation; if it's good enough for him, I'll certainly take a draught.

Zombies!!! Board Game: The Strategy of Survival


The other night my friends and I settled down to play a board game, and since my housemate had brought up a new game called Zombies!!!, we thought we'd give strategy survival a try. The game is made by Twilight Creations, and though we played the 2nd Edition Director's Cut, it seems there are a bunch of expansion packs and zombie figurines to collect for the avid gamer, as well as different scenario board games including Martians!!! and Cthulhu Rising.

The first thing to realize about Zombies!!! is that it's not just a roll-and-move board game. There are more facets to the gameplay than Monopoly or Life, and it takes a little time to fully understand the rules and situations. Once players get started, however, it's quite easy to fly through the game with little difficulty. But Zombies!!! takes a while to finish, and that's including set-up time, breakdown time, and the multiple times survivors will die trying to make it to the helicopter.

In terms of gameplay, it's probably best to think of the recent zombie video game Left 4 Dead. In that game, one is ambushed by hordes of zombies, working with teammates to get out of the level and escape from the zombie-infested territory. The basics of Zombies!!! are the same, but the implementation is different. Instead of working as a team, you and your friends will battle against each other, an all-for-one approach so that there must be a designated winner.


There is no pre-made board; instead, players construct their own board with puzzle pieces that can be placed anywhere that the roads of the two pieces connect. Zombies are then placed on the squares inside the board according to the rules and the instructions on each puzzle piece. Life tokens, in the shape of hearts, and bullet tokens can also be collected in certain squares - these help to determine who survives and who is eaten.

Most of the board will be filled with zombies because of the gameplay style - since players have to add a new game board each turn, and zombies must be added to these tiles, the amount of the undead multiplies all the time. This ensures a fun but stressful play mechanic for the survivors, because one might find they've cleared out a few zombies only to be swarmed with five more.


There's not much strategy to avoiding the zombies, though. Every time a player rolls the dice for movement, zombies must also move one game square. They approach all survivors, and most of the time it's almost impossible to avoid an encounter with the brain-eaters. They're all over, and no matter how you strategize your movement, there's bound to be a zombie attack quickly - it just depends on how many are around you at the time.

Killing zombies is pretty simple - you must roll over a three to kill the zombie. If one doesn't, they may use their three bullets to add to the dice roll; so if you roll a three, you may add one bullet to the roll to kill the zombie. Likewise, if one has no bullets or doesn't want to use them, one can use one of their three heart tokens to roll again for a higher number. It's a lot about chance, and though it can get frustrating to continuously roll under par, it makes it fair for each player. If a player dies, they must head back to the center square and attempt to make it back to the helipad. They also lose half of the zombies they collected by killing, but they get a new chance to get out of the town.


There are also player cards that survivors can use to help them defeat the zombies. Some of these cards give you added bonuses, like more bullets or hearts. Yet some of them can help you screw over your teammates by adding new zombies to the board or making others give up some of their tokens. This is where the strategy aspect plays a pivotal role: one must question who they want to help in hopes that they'll receive help from them later, and who they want to send to the depths of the underworld.

The game design looks great, and the artwork on the cards is incredibly well-done. There are only two types of zombie figurines to play with, unfortunately, but Twilight Creations makes different pieces for the collector to enjoy.

Overall, Zombies!!! is a lengthy, enjoyable strategy board game that is easy for newbies to pick up. Though there are a few kinks in the gameplay, the rules are easy to understand and simple to use. If you and your friends like zombies, horror atmospherics, or board games in general, give Zombies!!! a try.

Graphic Thursday: "The Skulls of Pak Island"

From Ghosts #20 comes this story of a haunted mansion on a cannibal island, where three American soldiers are protected from Japanese fighters by the ghosts of the couple killed there. Though the story is a bit trite and its depiction of tribal natives politically incorrect, I like the idea of a haunted mansion on a mysterious island.

Horror Out of Context #1


These images come from the anime series Lupin the Third's offshoot film The Secret of Mamo. While this is the opening sequence, and mimics encounters with Dracula in a variety of ways, it has nothing to do with the actual plot of the movie and serves as a spoof for comedic purposes only. But it's still a great throwback to Bram Stoker's seminal vampire.

Death Metal Debauchery #18: The BRAIN DRILL Edition

Brain Drill revel in the technical aspect of death metal, and to the uninitiated listener, many of the band's songs tend to blend together into one mish-mash of shrieking guitar solos and blistering drum tracks. While Brain Drill's songs never quite leave a permanent mark because of their lack of hooks, the dominating presence of their music allows the listener to enjoy the fleeting moments of technicality rather than dwell on the technique or message. That's the theme of Brain Drill's newest, Quantum Catastrophe, a flurry of heavy guitar riffs and blast beats set to the tune of annihilation.

Movie Review - Drag Me to Hell

Drag Me to Hell


There's a large part of me that wants to like Drag Me to Hell just because it was directed by Sam Raimi. And, I think, this fact has a big influence on who enjoyed the film and who didn't. That's alright, I guess; it's not up to me to decide what constitutes the rules for liking a film or how much a celeb should be able to sway viewer interests. But there also has to be a point where one decides to judge a film on just what's depicted, and try to get away from outside factors. Unfortunately, for me Drag Me to Hell carries far less weight than the prospect of Raimi's direction.

Of course, the movie must face off against the reputation of The Evil Dead trilogy, a factor that can't be wiped from the slate because of the status of the cult behind them. But there's little connections to draw between Drag Me and Evil Dead; they both feature ugly, rotting women, unbelievable environmental phenomena, and the occasional creepy scene filtered with hints of comedy. Yet Drag Me never reaches the depths of horror that Evil Dead did, and neither does it capture the tongue-in-cheek humor of Army of Darkness without losing its edge.

There are a few reasons for this, but one of the most egregious is because of the imperceivable line between what's meant to seem comedic and what's meant to feel spooky. Occasionally, Drag Me captures some eerie instances, mostly due to the appearance of Lorna Raver as a decrepit old gypsy. And at other times, Raimi is able to transcend horror and jump right into Army of Darkness-esque humor (like a devil-possessed goat). However, the problem doesn't lie in the extremes of what Raimi can do, but in the middle ground. For the majority of the film, it was difficult to decipher what ridiculous stunts were intentionally comedic and which weren't.

This wouldn't bother me so much if at the end, the sarcastic humor poked through to resonate with the viewer, almost like looking back to laugh at the jokes that might have seemed like poor execution earlier. That doesn't happen, though; instead, the film ends on a sour, predictable note, one that the audience should see coming for miles.

Also detracting from the overall experience was Alison Lohman as Christine, who remains a fairly dull character throughout and rarely manages to show any type of emotion. Likewise, as the film progresses and Christine is supposedly growing from soft-spoken pacifist to aggressive go-getter, Lohman is equally unbelievable and unconvincing, which left me to question: what was she doing in the movie?

It's impossible to say that there was no enjoyment to be had from Drag Me. I found myself laughing quite a bit, though perhaps for the wrong reasons. There's more bodily fluid thrown around here than a porno, and quite honestly most of them felt like gross-out gags because of the oral fixation. The devil isn't in top form here either, and I found his fleeting presence somewhat humorous and frustratingly generic.

Slash to the Point: Drag Me to Hell didn't strike a chord with me like Raimi's other works, and I found that the film's tone was unclear: not quite comedic, nor hellish, it captured neither to the best of Raimi's ability. Couple that with the very stereotypical storyline (think The Wolf Man, but with the devil), and poor acting from our heroine, and the film provides only passing amusement, one that literally had to drag me, rather than entice, to Hell.

The Evil Ad #24



I want to preface this Evil Ad by saying that I've never seen Dunkin Donuts doughnuts looking like the ones in the ad, with spectacular sprinkles, monster faces, and frosting galore. Instead, Dunkin Donuts generally pulls out the orange and black sprinkles and that's about as decorated as it gets for the month of October.

I think the colors and sheer Halloween joy are why I like this commercial so much; to think - Dunkin Donuts workers staying late, tediously preparing each and every doughnut for the next day? Blows my mind!

Book Review - The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie



Another one of Ms. Christie's Poirot novels, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd finds the famous detective retiring to a home without his cohort Hastings in a small town, probably in hopes of avoiding the clue-ridden cases of his previous novels. Instead, he moves right into another murder mystery, this time of a wealthy estate owner who is mysteriously murdered in his study; the clues point in all different directions, and the time of death conflicts with family members' statements. It also doesn't help matters that our narrator, Dr. Sheppard, received a phone call from Liverpool claiming the death of Roger Ackroyd. After being roped into the case to save Ralph Paton (Ackroyd's stepson) from arrest, Poirot resumes his detective work to find the real culprit.

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is most notable for its surprise twist at the end of the novel, but if you've read many Christie novels, it might not seem like such a big deal for Ackroyd to have such a twisty conclusion. Christie's novels excelled because of her formula: a crime committed in a large house, with a dozen people involved, and many smaller cases to be solved before the big mystery can be resolved. But Ackroyd features a somewhat unfair game for the reader, and readers were outraged at the final resolution.

I'm sorry, but I do have to ruin the novel to begin to discuss a review of it. So for those who have not read, one should pause a moment and contemplate whether they want to continue reading.

Have you paused? Good. WARNING, MOONERS: SPOILERS ON THE HORIZON


Christie incorporates an unreliable narrator in the form of Dr. Sheppard, and, at the end of the novel, it is revealed that our narrator has committed all of the crimes while leaving out some choice details for the audience. The complaints centered on the fact that it was almost impossible to see this twist coming, and readers were offended that they could not figure out the case on their own, without the help of the finale. But it's not out of the question for readers to come to the conclusion that it's probably not any of the original suspects, as Poirot is able to unmask airtight alibis for almost everyone. Christie works through each character in detail, and if I were to mark down the clues that lead to Sheppard's involvement, I'm sure I could find a good number that implicate him in the murder.

Even though the novel came under fire, it's still interesting to think about why. Poe had given readers unreliable narrators long before the late '20s when Ackroyd was published, and even cases like "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" dealt in the impossible. So could it be that, perhaps, audience expectations were so high that Christie's use of an unidentifiable suspect aroused turmoil within her fans?

Maybe. But I think the factor that caused so much confusion was not so much that the narrator was the killer, but that Christie makes Sheppard out to be just like the reliable Hastings from earlier Poirot novels. This is ingenious work; it limits our expectations of Sheppard, makes him seem as though the same character as Hastings, and ultimately distracts from some of the more obvious clues against Sheppard. The same goes for the confusing jumble of cases that happen all at the same time in Ackroyd. It seems somewhat uncommon to have a multitude of mysteries at once, but what Christie does is wrap the main murder in a very tight knot that doesn't unravel until all of the twine has been cut away.

Yet the complicated case does take away from other aspects of the novel, including Poirot's personality. Again Poirot is characterized as intelligent, diligent, and intense, but his personality outside of detective-work is almost non-existent. It's a shame, because it would be incredibly interesting to see what Poirot does in his spare time. Besides the odd gardening or reading, he seems to have no other hobbies, and though he helps to solve every case and turns up to save the day, his personality feels lacking.

Slash to the Point: The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is very similar to others of its ilk, at least in regard to Christie's previous novels, but it does feature a surprising ending that might leave readers with a bad taste in their mouths. Fortunately, the mystery is skillfully paced and resolved with a neat little bow, and the short length of the novel tends to make it a good quick read. If you enjoy lighthearted mystery, I'd suggest Ackroyd because of its critical reception and its influence to genre, and leave it up to you to decide if Christie gave a fair account.

Death Metal Debauchery #17: The DEICIDE Edition

As their name would suggest, Deicide are atheist. In fact, they're possibly the most atheist one can get, what with  their complete rejection of anything God-like and their belief in Satanic worship. Fortunately, most of the time the listener's beliefs, whether Christian, Buddhist, or agnostic, are not attacked, and instead Deicide go after the big guy himself. But it's natural fare for death metal music, and Deicide pair the rejection and killing of God with violent imagery and a knack for riff hooks - perhaps moreso than most death metal. In honor of Deicide's new album, which drops today, here's a look at the band's discography.
