Director Adam Marcus Talks Jason Goes to Hell on it’s 30th Anniversary! 

Adam Marcus talks about his attempt to take the beloved eighties slasher franchise and bring it smashing into the nineties. With a committed fanbase prepared to follow its iconic masked villain on another blood-soaked rampage, Adam crafted a tail of FBI agents, bounty hunters, Necronomicons, and new mythology. 

Jason Goes to Hell was theatrically released on August 13, 1993, and grossed $15.9 million at the box office on a budget of $3 million.

Schlocktoberfest XIII - Day 22: Friday the 13th - Rose Blood

Friday the 13th – Rose Blood Full Movie:    *Spoilers Throughout* What’s This About: A direct continuation of Friday the 13th Part VII: A New Blood. How the hell are they going to top that?! Here are some of my observations as I watched the film: So apparently this is a direct sequel to Part VII. Should be interesting to see how awfully they tarnish that great entry’s fine reputation.

Trash-Talking the 2024 NCAA Tournament "Sweet Sixteen"

Now that we are past the first and heading head-long into the second weekend of the NCAA Basketball Tournament, some of you may be happy with your bracket, and some are lamenting the fact their brackets are so much smoldering wreckage. That would be me…Kentucky and Baylor on Monday Night? What the fuck was I thinking? I’m blaming low blood sugar. Excuses aside, and no matter which side of the…

[imaginespazzi]

Alright it's time to bracket yap!

Spokane 1

First of all, I would like to once again reiterate that I called UCLA being the #1 overall seed and as much as the media wants to push the narrative that it wasn't deserved, it very much was and I've already explained why.

I think UCLA should come out of this bracket pretty unscathed, mainly because I just don't really see anyone who has the size to contain Betts but having said that if LSU is fully healthy (and can overcome both FSU and NC State) then, I think they would be the ones I would most expect to upset UCLA.

Upsets I see in this regions:

#5 Ole Miss over #4 Baylor - not really a major upset because it's just 4 over 5 but Baylor doesn't move me (I've barely watched them) and I think Coach Yo is pissed about not hosting and that'll reflect in their fire.

#6 FSU over #3 LSU and #2 NC State - so I didn't pick this in my main bracket but I did pick it in a couple of my "just for funsies" brackets because this absolutely could happen and it wouldn't shock me but I don't know if I necessary am fully committed to believing it will. I'm definitely rooting for it though!

#10 Harvard over #7 Michigan State - in Harmoni Turner I trust periodt.

Birmingham 2

Idk what SC or their coach is complaining about because jesus fucking christ if this isn't the easiest region and SC is gonna walk out of this with absolutely no issue. Maybe if a team gets really hot? But yeah I don't see how anyone but SC ends up winning this regions.

Upsets I see in this region:

#5 Alabama over #4 Maryland and #9 Indiana over #8 Utah - again not really "upsets" per say but I feel more confident about the lower-ranked teams in these matchups

#14 Oregon State over #3 UNC and #6 West Virginia - this is a vibes pick because I just really want Oregon State to make a run for it

#7 Vanderbilt over #2 Duke - listen I understand Duke made hell of a run in the ACC tournament and their defense is something wonderful but I'mma bet on Khamil Pierre and Mikaylah Blakes and their offense

Birmingham 3

So I was convinced that Texas would be the #4 overall and USC would be #3 but you know, in hindsght maybe don't lose to an unranked team Lindsey and you wouldn't be losing your damn mind feeling disrespect over being one spot lower than expected.

This is the bracket of death and is absolutely the hardest region to win and I expect it to be total mayhem if we're honest.

Upsets I see in this region:

#9 Creighton over #8 Illinois and then #1 Texas - call me insane, call me delusional but if Creighton gets hots from 3? They absolutely could beat Texas and their stagnant as hell offense.

#12 USF over #5 Tennessee and then #4 Ohio State - am I convinced this will happen? Not necessarily. But do I believe it could? Absolutely.

#6 Michigan over #3 Notre Dame - is this driven by hatred? Why yes, yes it is. But do I also fully believe this could happen because ND's defense can be tragic and if they make dumb decisions on offense which they have been Michigan could easily capitalize on it? Yes, yes I do.

Spokane 4

This region is made for TV basically. At least two of these potential matchups are ratings-driven (and also revenge-driven) and it's interesting because I don't know if both of them are going to happen. But I also think a USC-UConn matchup wasted in the Elite 8 from a TV perspective is also not the smartest choice but what do I know.

Upsets I see in this region:

#12 Fairfield over #5 K-State - based solely on the fact that I don't know what the hell is happening with Ayoka Lee

#6 Iowa vs #3 Oklahoma - I've barely watched Oklahoma this year but this just feels like an upset waiting to happen and I would like to get revenge on Iowa and Paige fucking hates Lucy Olsen

#10 South Dakota State over #7 Oklahoma State - South Dakota State has been here before, knows how to win here and I don't know much about Oklahoma State but I do know they're live and die by the three and I think this is gonna be a die situation

#4 Kentucky over #1 USC - so I don't necessarily have this one picked out on my main bracket either but I just think Georgia Amoore. That's all.

It's gonna be a fun March Madness you guys and like I always say, I want upset, I want chaos and I want UConn to win the damn thing :)

Felicia and Bellclaire knew each other?

WAKE UP GIRL NEW DARK SOULS YURI DROPPED ok ok ok one second let me elaborate hfhhvbhnf

So, basically, their summon locations are connected; one of them they are sharing (Lost Bastille), and their other ones (Amana for Felicia and Drangleic Castle for Bellclaire) are connected throgh their items lore!

Bellclaire is one of the Hollowed Mages from Tseldora, this robe is otherwise exclusively worn by the dudes who kept shooting you near the sand pit lmao. And it is further confirmed by the fact one of her spells is Crystal Soul Spear, a spell that can be created in NG+ from the Soul of Paledrake (Seath) and lorewise originating from Seath.. who kinda possessed the Duke of Tseldora to become cringe so it only makes more sense!

Her other set pieces are Rogue Leggins (clothes of Hollowed thiefs), Lion Warrior Helm (makes sense she put it on, Lion Warriors would be on her way upon leaving Tseldora) and Creighton's Chain Glowes (assume just Mirrah stuff, but this particular one should be ignored I think, feels same as Sceptical Old Man wearing Gehrman's pants aka just aesthetic item)! I think the robe should be THE focus here, all things considered

^^^ Another thing about her is that she has this Chime, but doesn't use a single Miracle, nor even has it just unused in her data! This coincides with how Vendrick kept clerics just for ceremonial purposes and not for actually doing the cleric stuff, and Tseldora was in service of Vendrick as part of Drangleic, so that further points Bellclaire towards just being in his service 🤔

Possibly, she went on her pilgrimage after becoming cursed, rather than staying back and waiting for the curse to take its toll like fellow mages, but wasn't able to run far enough; her summon sign in Lost Bastille is in the cell (with broken bars), seems like she was captured and imprisoned.

Another thing is.. she is not a Hollow! I know the invaders and summons in Dark Souls 2 use like the same 7 preset faces, but there IS a data for Hollow character (annoying three characters fought in Shulva as bosses use it for example)! The thing is, her weapon is Staff of Amana, a weapon that has nothing to do with Drangleic/Vendrick/Tseldora/etc!

But you know what IS interesting about Amana? Right, it has an Altar with a Milfanito at it that allows to restore humanity even without a Human Effigy! It exists for this purpose, and it is possible that THIS is how Bellclaire healed from Hollowing! This staff might have been something she picked on her way! Though this particular staff also scales when you are a human and gives penalty when you are Hollow, so maybe it gives her additional motivation to hold onto her humanity!

At the same time, Felicia's summon signs are in Amana and in Lost Bastille, not far away from Bellclaire but outside of jail cells! Okay, so about her now:

She is wearing a Knight Set (all pieces have the same description), and appears that she is not an Undead since she seeks "official" Knightship in Drangleic!

I need to also clarify about her shield, because it is actually a mistake; the descriptions of Greatshield of Glory and Tower Shield are clearly mixed upon development and it was never corrected:

You can clearly see it is a mistake as the Knights serving Vendrick, who are modeled after his knight Syan, use this shield too:

Her weapon is also Heide Greatlance! (Sorry I don't have a screenshot copied) So, she has a Heide Greatlance, but also a shield she uses is found IN Heide after Old Dragonslayer battle near Targray (the Blue Sentinels guy), and the set she uses is found in the path that connects Heide and No-Man's Wharf!

Note I don't necessarily take it as her dying around, especially with how in Dark Souls 2 every other NPC just conveniently has exact replica of their set and weapon to reward the player with XD (looking at YOU, Elden CRING killing Ansbach and Thiollier to give us their sets!!!). Just more like telling the story through items locations and environment. So, perhaps she tried to become a Blue Sentinel in her pursuit for knightship, but failed.... or maybe, rather, got sidetracked!

No-Man's Wharf got under control of Vendrick, and now they are the ones responsible for capturing Undead and sending them into Lost Bastille! So how about this idea: Felicia found, maybe by accident, path to No-Man's Wharf and by effect the Lost Bastille, and was NOT having what she found out there! If we assume she wanted to join Blue Sentinels, she must have had strong sense of justice or wish to help people.. and, well, Undeads captured and locked away is not nice. Her title is also literally Felicia the Brave, she would not sympathize with peoples fear of the Undead much if at all! Especially since even becoming Hollow doesn't automatically mean being a danger to society, across the trilogy we meet some characters who are Hollow but harmless and even still having their wits and memories, just weird at worst!

So, Felicia was the one to crash Bellclaire's cell open to free her, and accompanied her into Amana to seek restoration of her humanity since Felicia has a summon sign in Amana and Bellclaire has the Staff of Amana and isn't Hollow despite she should be!!! She was not giving up the hope for Undeads and encouraged her to seek help, seeing she yet had wits and deserved a chance instead of rotting in the jailcell! Maybe not even just Bellclaire? Maybe Felicia released every imprisoned Undead that was not yet completely beyond help and put them in the boat away from here, believing they could be helped. There is hope for the Undead (The Pursuer disapproves of THE naivety and optimism sooooOOOO hard lol).

I just think this is so nice tbh hfhruybf. Though Bellclaire is a summon in Drangleic Castle too. I wonder if Hollowing did erode some of her memories still, and she was looking for familiarity like Lucatiel ;-; Or Millicent in ER, actually. Though Felicia might have been looking for Drangleic Castle too because of the Greatshield of Glory, as true knight calling.... until she didn't. Or could have picked a fight with people there? In either case, hers and Bellclaire's paths might cross even beyond their shared adventure (that has no business being as cute as it is)

I also wonder if Targray still wonders where did she go. Maybe worries about her since she isn't an Undead; if she dies then she DIES. He doesn't know she simply has 5 seconds timespan gdhtjhgjh XD

P.S.: AKTYALY Bellclaire is one of those Fromsoft's trademark GNC characters! The thing is, she is wearing a MALE robe; female variant of this clothing is black!

^^^ White (male)

^^^ Black (female). @val-of-the-north Iirc Dark Souls 2 also has a male character wearing the black variant, right? Based and valid tbh. Common Dark Souls 2 W

P.P.S.: Literally no one asked about this but have this too anyways I g:

[horrorfilms1313]

23-year-old Adam Marcus made his directorial debut with this film.

The script was written in 4 days.

The casting director only did the project so he could return to Los Angeles to be near his dying mother.

Steven Williams would only play bounty hunter Creighton Duke if he could dress as a cowboy.

The screenwriter, Kane Hodder, and even 2 random California DJs have cameos.

Kari Keegan walked off the set and only returned when Adam Marcus was removed and Sean Cunningham inserted as the director for the final days of filming.

Almost half of the finished film came from re-shoots.

Yes, that was the Necronomicon from Evil Dead.

Only watching the score but Louisville beating Duke 👀

I’ve been telling y’all for weeks that Louisville is a good team and that they need to be ranked but AP voters don’t know what they’re doing because Creighton shouldn’t be ranked over Louisville😭

College basketball rankings: St. John's climbs into top five, Duke slides amid NBA Draft declarations

1 Houston This ranking is based on the Cougars returning three of the top seven scorers — specifically Emanuel Sharp, Milos Uzan and Joseph Tugler — from a team that finished 35-5 and advanced to the championship game of the 2025 NCAA Tournament. That core will be joined by a recruiting class highlighted by Creighton transfer Pop Isaacs, Sam Houston transfer Kalifa Sakho, five-star freshman…

[sidestepsam]

SD State doesn’t seem to be that bad 🧍‍♀️need our girls to lock in from the go (not questioning them but I want them to assert dominance early and not let SD think they are in it, even for a little bit)

They beat Creighton for the first game of the season by 4, Wisconsin by 22 (they are not good but that’s still a big 10 school), Oregon by 5, only lost to Duke by 4 and are on a 20 game winning streak after they lost by 46 (103-57) to Texas

They’re not to be underestimated. Very good program. Should be a decently easy win, but nothing like last game.

UCLA Returns to No. 1 in Women’s College Basketball Rankings After Big Ten Triumph

The UCLA Bruins have reclaimed the top spot in the latest AP Women’s Basketball rankings following an impressive victory over USC in the Big Ten Championship. After a season filled with intense battles and shifting rankings, UCLA has proven once again why it belongs at the pinnacle of women’s college basketball.

The race for the No. 1 ranking has been fiercely contested, with South Carolina, Texas, and USC all holding the top position at various points throughout the season. However, UCLA’s latest surge, fueled by a dominant postseason run, has placed them back in the driver’s seat heading into March Madness.

UCLA's Road Back to No. 1

Earlier in the season, UCLA enjoyed a 12-week reign at the top before falling to USC in a highly anticipated rivalry matchup. That setback knocked them down in the rankings, but they steadily climbed their way back. This week, the Bruins leapfrogged from No. 4 to No. 1, securing 16 first-place votes from the AP panel.

Notably, this isn’t the first time this season UCLA has made such a dramatic jump. Before Thanksgiving, they pulled off a similar feat after defeating then-No. 1 South Carolina. Now, with a Big Ten title under their belt, the Bruins are well-positioned for a deep NCAA tournament run.

The Top Five Teams This Week

Here’s how the latest AP rankings stand:

UCLA (30-2, 16 first-place votes) – The Bruins’ depth, versatility, and defensive tenacity have cemented their place at No. 1.

South Carolina (30-3, 9 first-place votes) – A dominant SEC tournament win over Texas helped the Gamecocks rise to second place.

UConn (30-3, 7 first-place votes) – The Huskies remain a force, with a crucial Big East Championship game against Creighton ahead.

USC (28-3) – Despite defeating UCLA twice in the regular season, the Trojans' loss in the Big Ten Championship led to a slight drop.

Texas (31-3) – The Longhorns held the No. 1 spot before falling to South Carolina in the SEC title game, pushing them down to fifth.

A Rare Shake-Up in the Rankings

The simultaneous losses of Texas and USC marked a rare moment in women’s college basketball. According to Stats Perform, this is only the fourth instance since 1999-2000 where the top two teams suffered defeats on the same day. The last time it happened was in 2019 when Oregon and Baylor both lost on November 30.

Notable Movements in the Rankings

While UCLA and South Carolina made the biggest headlines, several other teams saw significant changes in their rankings:

TCU (31-3) – The Horned Frogs jumped to No. 6, marking their highest-ever ranking after a crucial Big Ten tournament win over Baylor.

Duke (26-7) – The Blue Devils made the biggest leap, climbing four spots to No. 7 after securing their first ACC Championship in 12 years.

Notre Dame (26-5) – The Fighting Irish fell to No. 8 after a tough loss in their conference tournament.

NC State (26-6) – A loss to Duke in the ACC tournament saw them drop to No. 9.

LSU (28-5) – The Tigers held steady at No. 10 despite falling short in the SEC tournament.

New Faces in the Rankings

Mississippi (20-10) – The Rebels returned to the rankings at No. 25 after reaching the SEC quarterfinals.

UTSA (26-5) – Making history, UTSA received their first-ever AP poll vote after an incredible regular season (17-1 in the American Athletic Conference).

Michigan State – The Spartans, unfortunately, dropped out after struggling late in the season.

Which Conferences Dominate

Here’s how the ranked teams are distributed among the major conferences:

SEC: 8 teams ranked

ACC: 5 teams ranked

Big 12: 5 teams ranked

Big Ten: 4 teams ranked

Big East: 2 teams ranked

Summit League: 1 team ranked

The SEC leads the way in terms of ranked teams, while the ACC and Big 12 continue to show their strength.

March Madness on the Horizon

With most of the major conference tournaments wrapped up, attention now turns to smaller conferences fighting for a spot in the NCAA Tournament. The MAAC, NEC, and Ivy League champions will be decided this weekend, determining the final pieces of the March Madness puzzle.

With Selection Sunday fast approaching, the anticipation for the NCAA Tournament is at an all-time high. The battle for the national championship is shaping up to be one of the most thrilling in recent memory.

Cuck(2) detected

Ok so me and @val-of-the-north consumed mushrooms from Willem's back and decided to brainstorm the Old Gods family tree! This was fun! Maybe some things will get reviewed later, but for now we good!

1) It was initially Val's idea that Caitha was Nito's daughter as someone closely tied to death, as well as he pointed out Pinwheel's masks actually must refer to Nito's family! Nito has an empty coffin nearby, and there is even a smaller coffin hidden.. So yeah. Father, mother and child! I pointed out that since Nito was not a God but Caitha is, it was the mother who had to be a Goddess- and it is further backed up by how Mask of the Mother sticks out in comparison:

Father and Child look like just people, but Mother looks odd. I offered the idea that her quirk had to be connected to the water, since Caitha's quirk is tears of grief (death + water)! Her mask's design also features water waves motifs! o: (also I guess Nito had curly hair when he was alive XD)

2) We really liked the idea that whenever God has a child, they combine quirks of the parents, so there are other children! Gwynevere = Light + Love, Nameless King = Light + Justice as that kind of noble warrior associated with crows and what not, so this is general principle we follow mostly to detect parents

3) We are still not sure of the level on which Dancer, Rosaria and Queen of Lothric descend from Gwynevere, so the lines aren't clear! Dancer would be at least not a bastard kind of descendant since she is of royal family, so, from marriage!

4) Not sure of the exact specifics on Seath, it can be strange dragon genders or some soul fuckery, but we honestly tried to find another explanation for dragon blood of Gwyndolin, Priscilla and Yorshka and could not.. He is just the only dragon character relevant, and don't mind Gwyndolin being a sorcerer, and also the Moonlight butterflies stuff

5) Seath is the only white dragon and Priscilla is explicitly stated to be pale too, so we think it is safest to assume she is his daughter! She is also stated to be a bastard in Japanese original, so, illegitimate child of a royalty. Lifehunt ability then comes from Caitha's genes! We decided Priscilla was abandoned at infancy, clutching that doll, but we aren't sure yet whether her and Yorshka are non-identical twins only one of which shown fearsome ability potential right out or Gwyn just discovered a huge cuck fetish JHSDFFHDSHFS The thing here that puzzled me is that we receive Lifehunt ability from Soul of Aldrich in DS3, referring to him seeing 'pale girl in hiding' (Yorshka) after consuming Gwyndolin! That'd mean either that Gwyndolin had the gene too (connecting it to Seath then since Priscilla and Yorshka are no gods, ie the shared parent is not Gwyn), or that it was envisioned through sort of 'clairvoyance' from memory about Yorshka. Bro already envisioned Age of the Deep coming, so why not stop at the latter here?

6) Shira stated to be daughter of the Duke, which Val double-checked that shared symbols with Seath's title! The characters known with that status are Seath himself and that guy who is relevant to Seath, so sure, why not say the accent on that status had to be deliberate..

^ would've been really sexy if the KEPT her white hair from concept art, then. I have an impression that either relation to Seath was an implication that got obscured later due to time constrains (like Fromsoft ALWAYS does and never learns from their mistakes) or it was consequences of how DS3 face model creators are infamous for doing the characters dirty. Look at what they did with Kirk. Look at what they did with Creighton and HIS wonderful white mane. Basically it is a straw we would like to grasp

_________

That's I think the gist of headcanons, @val-of-the-north might add extra details and justifications if he's willing to!
