Stuff that scares the shit outta me.

The Dark Knight creative.
I’ve seen Brokeback Mountain, but I’ve also seen the intro to Casanova, so my feelings for the late Heath Ledger – though respectful – are not especially warm. I’m skeptical of the Oscar buzz milling around his performance in Dark Knight, but I will give him credit for freaking me out in the little I’ve seen of him in DK trailers. I hope the makeup artists on the team get lots of kudos for their character design. His face terrifies me. I can barely keep my eyes open on all of the menacing posters circulating these days. It’s batshit insane!

Speaking of posters, a new poster has hit the Web via a viral marketing campaign, and I think it is excellent. It scares me, but its design is awesome. Last night I saw a new billboard as well, and I feel like there isn’t a single DK Joker promo image that I haven’t thought is fantastic. Very eye-catching stuff.

The Orphanage.
I’m not averse to watching horrors films or thrillers, because they usually don’t have a lasting impression on me. The Orphanage, though, holy shit. It was such a good film and I have never felt compelled to describe a horror as “beautiful” until now.

Also, I refused to go to the bathroom by myself for a couple of hours because I was convinced a random child in a burlap sack would appear in my mirror. C’est freak.

This kid is FREAKY!
