Clearing out the Cobwebs III - July17th, 7 to 9pm

[wickedgoddess]

Each bottle of BPAL oil is $20. No preorders will be accepted for the Cobwebs event. Bottles will be sold on a first-come basis, and there is a limit of five bottles per scent per person until 30 minutes before the end of the event, at which point, the limit is lifted.

 

We will begin giving out random numbers at 6pm. This gives everyone the opportunity to fondle books, poke at toys, sniff testers, and chat -- or leave and get a doughnut, whichever. We will open sales at 7pm.

 

Please note: the Vintage scents will be sportin’ a new label that was created for this event. You will not be getting the original label used for this scent.

 

Where and when is this happening?

And the Summer Blockbuster series part two, which is available now on the Dark Delicacies site, and will be available in store starting tomorrow night at the trunk show.

 

ALIEN INVASION

A melding of science fiction and horror in which extraterrestrial life forms come to Earth in order to…

 

* Colonize the planet

* Harvest humans for foodstuffs

* Enslave humanity

* Destroy the planet

* Use probes to perform uncomfortable sexual experiments

 

… among other nefarious objectives.

 

Examples: War of the Worlds, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Plan 9 From Outer Space, the Day the Earth Stood Still

 

Slick, spiced space fruits and residual tentacle goo.

 

 

DIABOLICAL OFFSPRING

The passage into parenthood is, despite all its joys, often confusing, a little shocking, and sometimes frightening.

 

-- moreso for some parents than others.

 

Examples: the Bad Seed, the Omen, Rosemary’s Baby, and Alice, Sweet Alice

 

Baby sweetness and a touch of brimstone.

 

 

GORE-SHOCK

With its roots in the Grand Guignol, Gore-Shock is a transgressive art form, using visual depictions of graphic, horrendous violence to push the limits of social tolerance. In the words of Michael Arnzen, “Splatter films differ from typical horror films because they revel in the special effects of gore as an artform. They are part of postmodern art and depict postmodern condition as a vehicle for cultural transformation.”

 

Then again, these might be extreme gross-out flicks and nothing deeper.

 

Examples: Blood Feast, I Spit on Your Grave, Two Thousand Maniacs!

 

Pulpy, scorched, pork-like flesh, glistening entrails, and doughy skin with the coppery tang of blood, salty, sweaty musk, filth, and a huff of rusted machinery.

 

 

GOTHIC HORROR

The blueblood of the horror genre. Gothic horror borrows heavily from Victorian Romanticism: a dark, passionate sojourn into emotionally-driven aesthetic experience – reaching through gloom towards a vision of the sublime. Using sprawling, decay-riddled visuals, and lyrical narrative rife with suspense, awe, and dread, these films tell tales of tortured souls, long-buried secrets, rapid descents into depravity and madness, and grasping supernatural beings.

 

Examples: Vampyr, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Dracula, Frankenstein, the Phantom of the Opera

 

Morbidly romantic, thick with murky melodrama, untouched by the centuries, and dust-rimed: Byzantine incense, benzoin, myrrh, bitter clove, spikenard, oud, and ancient balsam.

 

 

PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR

This is not the Monstrous Other; this is the fiend next door.

 

Examples: Psycho, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, the Collector, and Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte

 

It smells perfectly normal: a lovely, unassuming, traditional mid-20th century musk with something not quite right lying underneath.

 

 

ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE

Brains? Brains.

 

Examples: Night of the Living Dead (and all things Romero-plus-Dead), 28 Days Later, Undead, Planet Terror

 

Swirls of red jelly and sugary white ooze.

 

 

Details on C15 and the Saturday night meet n sniff will be announced soon.
