Master Sardus Archive Vol #2: Rotten Romances

As much as the horror genre relies on blood & guts to establish tone, at its core the whole genre really is built on relationships. All different kinds of relationships are abundant in horror; killer vs victim, familial relationships (parents, siblings, etc), and of course romantic relationships. These relationships are what make the tales of horror compelling. They build stakes into the violence, with actions and reactions taken throughout the story based on the feelings those relationships induce. This is especially true of the romantic relationships in horror. Romantic relationships in horror run the gamut; it could be the reason that the killer is attacking someone, or the reason why someone is looking to foil the killer out of revenge! Incest, obsession, devotion… a little something for everyone!

There have been many wacky romantic relationships throughout horror movie history, and in honor of Valentine’s Day, here are the top 14 Rotten Romances of horror movie history!( I even included a few bonus picks, just in case you can’t get enough.) Here’s to love; may Cupid’s arrow hit you... right between the eyes!

Jedi Rob, Jeff Bond and Mike D sat down and discuss our favorite chick flicks ever. Yup, you read that right... these manly men are talking the girliest films they have ever seen and loved.

The CCD Podcast: Episode #41 - The St. Valentine's Day Massacre Art Show or "The CCD Art & Supply Co. Sure Do Know How To Throw A Party!"

We here at CCD have branched out into a few different directions with the hope of expanding our "brand" in the next few years. In addition to the cool ass blog which we know you all love (wink, wink) we have started and awesome podcast and an artist collective know as The CCD Art & Supply Co. Basically we are trying to take over each avenue of entertainment one medium at a time. In October of 2014 we hosted our first ever live art show, and Monsters, Maniacs and Mayhem was a huge success. 14 artists create 14 original paintings based on the best Universal Horror Films of all time. The show was a raving success, with 9 out 14 artists selling their original pieces and tons of prints moving as well. We immediately planned our second show, and since it was falling around the Valentine's Day holiday we decided to give it a little CCD inspired flair. The show will take place on 2/7/15 and is called: The St. Valentine's Day Masscre: Mob Movies... in BLOOD RED! 16 artist have turned in 16 amazing pieces featuring characters from a plethora of mafia classic films... and the results are AMAZING! This podcast focuses on those movies that are a part of the show as well as touching on the individual artists who created these masterpieces. A perfect appetizer before the main course on Saturday night.

As Usual, GQ Fucks Up A Good Thing Once Again...

Another issue, another mis-step... and after it all was looking so promising once again. First was the nowhere near enough Glee cast photo shoot... what was up with that?
