Conversation About The Match (locked)

Who’s going to win? Who’s winning? Who won? What were they thinking? What are you thinking?

Wicked write up on the preview.

I loved the first match, but I am especially looking forward to this special edition for my browser to be haunted by. Good luck, Stan!

[EDIT] Uhm… well… ok, I just realized that Brian is the genius behind Rustboy. Sorry, JSM, you are in for one hell of a match. This won’t end well for one of these combatants, of that I am sure.[/EDIT]

Alas, I am going to be attending a haunted dinner, and search for EVPs, at the Snow Hill Country Club during the match; but I will be here in spirit to cheer on both contestants. I can’t wait to see the results! I dig the graphic style of Brian – reminds of what Disney and Looney Tunes could have put out in the early days if they were just a bit more sadistic. (insert ten minute pause here to surf the net after checking out Jason’s site some more and the myriad links therein)... I really enjoy his photographic style – it’s what I aspire to when I shoot: the angles and depth of field are just great. Oh, and his typework is totally groovy. For anyone who does not already know, our esteemed commentator, Mathew, is friggin hilarious!
Good luck to everyone, and I hope sneak into the show sometime in the wee hours Friday night. Hopefully someone is left alive…

Logged on!!! We live on blood!!!! Let it roll!!!!!

^ uh… what?

@AZ Focus Guy: EVP scares me. Really. Movie was stupid. Real thing just freaks me way the ef out, though.

Here’s today’s Forum Competition. In honor of today’s horror theme, whoever sends the scariest fax to 312 243 1108 while the match is going on will receive $200 to spend in our Swap Meat.

mee so excited.. ^^

Personally, I’m hoping for some good ol pumpkin carnage!

@tamashii: agreed, movie = lameness, but I am kinda freaked out about tonight. Oh well, nothing a martini or four can’t get me through. =)

@AZ Focus Guy: Agreed re Defective Yeti, but I just hope today’s match doesn’t move as slow as Baldwin posting a Cliche Rotation Project update.

While you’re waiting for the match, read an article from NY Times by Wendell Jamieson. Joy of Fright: Old Chillers That Should Scare (but Not Terrorize) the Kids.

“When you are alone with the bad guy, and he is pouring you a drink, and he asks if anyone knows that you came to meet him, you always answer: ‘Yes, yes. Everyone knows! I told everyone I know that I was coming! Totally.’ ”

Note on today’s Forum Competition. In answer to an emailed question from Nick, we don’t know what exactly makes for a scary fax but we’re betting we’ll know one when we see one.

Scary fax huh? I have some old MS Word clipart around here that’s kinda horrific…

Ooh…preparing my fax now. This’ll be the first contest I’ve been able to enter (not counting my sockless tube socks).

how will you know who the faxes are from? i mean, whatever horror comes across your machine might lose a bit of its frightfulness with, “Hey! I’m tamashii on the forums! BOO!” at the bottom.

tamashii: I was just thinking the same thing as I appended my forum name and email address on the page. Weakens it, definitely.

@AZ Focus Guy: Hey, let me know if you come across anything. I’m the editor over at Paranormal Insider, and we’d love to get some reader submissions.

Do we get to see scary fax submissions?

At the end of the match, I will post my entry. I think that is the best way to do it.

Mark, I was considering posting a url to mine, but I’m not sure if the reasoning for the fax includes “not letting others see your submission” along with the obvious, “because it’s cool.”

@tamashii, agreed here… probably the best thing to do

Warming up my fax machine and reply button. Guys, this kicks ass. It’s like Photoshop Phridays after snorting a few lines of Picasso’s ashes.

good call, tamashii. I’ll do the same.

I assume the fine folks at Coudal will also record the numbers as entries are received.

This is a good idea ;)
