Happy Halloween!

Most of the Halloween celebrating was done last weekend. But if you're still planning to go trick or treating today, then may you have a safe and Happy Halloween!

A Halloween clip

I was looking for a good clip for Halloween. I found it with Eyes of Crystal (2004), an Italian psychological thriller in the same flavor of Dario Argento.

Lucía Jiménez plays the latest victim of a serial killer who ties her down to a cot after abducting her.

A nice, taunt scene with plenty of struggling.

Even when rescue comes, that's still no guarantee of safety. Bear in mind this clip is NSFW, and that it gives away a vital plot point of the movie. You can download the clip right here.

Halloween Poser Time!

Has shopping for a Halloween costume this late in the season gotten you all tied up in knots? Don't worry, just relax, and enjoy another of my Halloween-themed pictures. In this latest (and last one for Halloween '18) another snoop gets captured by a really chatty skeleton.

Come see the shenanigans right here. Hope you like it.

A nice surprise

There's an email book recommendation from Amazon where they suggest books for people to buy. This particular e-mail dealt with Science Fiction and Fantasy. Look what book they recommend right next to the Star Trek: Discovery novel.

I've got to admit I'm really tickled to see this. It's the first time I've seen one of my Ryta books promoted like this (I've had nothing to do with it), and it's really cool.

Speaking of my favorite jungle girl, I'm still working on the latest Ryta book, which I hope to have ready by late November or early December at the latest. Just keep it right here for the latest Ryta news.

Fright Night (2011)

They remade Fright Night in 2011 starring Anton Yelchin as the teenager who thinks his neighbor Jerry (Colin Farrell) is a vampire. The above picture shows Charley (Yelchin) sneaking one of Jerry's (barefoot) victims out of his house.

In the climax of the film, one of the female vamps comes crawling feet first right out of a wall.

Even Charley's girlfriend Amy (Imogen Poots) gets "turned" by Jerry, and she tries to "turn" Charley in this moment.

He escapes by wounding her slightly. "You missed," she taunts. "I know," he replies.

Imogen Poots goes barefoot throughout the climax that's set in Jerry's basement. I enjoyed this version of Fright Night very much. It also stars David Tennant (the tenth Doctor in Doctor Who), as well as Toni Collette, who plays Charley's mom. This newer version of Fright Night is a great deal of fun. Check it out for Halloween.

Staying put..whether she wants to or not

I found this file in my collection. Unfortunately I don't know what this is, but it's a Spanish-language production. And, judging from the fact that 'doc' appears at the bottom of the screen, I can only surmise that he was the clipper.

It features a nice barefoot woman who gets tied up on a bed. After she trussed up, her captor has some things to say to her.

At four minutes in length, it's a nice long clip with plenty of struggling from a super cute damsel. Thanks, Doc, wherever you are.

You can download the clip right here.

History of the Horror Film

Mark Gatiss is a writer and actor who co-wrote Sherlock (with Benedict Cumberpatch) and the Peter Capaldi seasons of Doctor Who. He played Mycroft, Sherlock's brother on that series.

Starting with this video, he presents a comprehensive history of horror in the movies, beginning with Universal Horror in the first video, moving on to Hammer Horror in the second, and finishing up with The Exorcist/Halloween (Michael Meyers) films in the final show.

It was the perfect series to watch leading up to Halloween. It's enlightening and has plenty of clips of the films it speaks about. It also informed me of horror movies that I've never even heard of (like The Plague of the Zombies). Recommended viewing for this Halloween season.

Schizoid

In Schizoid, Donna Wilkes stars as the daughter of a psychiatrist played by real-life madman Klaus Kinski.

Wilkes spends a lot of the movie's run time sulking around her mansion (daddy is very successful as a shrink) and going barefoot.

Shoes are not an option for this girl.

Neither are pants.

Mariana Hill also goes barefoot.

And Hill is barefoot during her bondage scene with Wilkes (although you don't see her feet in this scene).

Both Hill and Wilkes do some nice struggling when they're bound by the psycho killer.

But everything turns out OK, and Hill is still barefoot afterwards. A happy ending for all.

A new Halloween Poser picture

Has getting ready for Halloween got you turned all upside-down? Well take a moment to relax and enjoy my latest Halloween-themed Poser picture! Another snoop is caught snooping in dark places, and she winds up getting the one thing she's looking for--only it might just kill her!

Come see the shenanigans right here. As always, I hope you like it.

Happy Birthday Bela

One hundred and thirty six years ago today, Bela Lugosi was born. He would be best known for his role as Dracula in director Tod Browning's film of the same name, which was released in 1931. Bela was forty eight back when this film first premiered. Dracula remains my favorite Bela Lugosi performance (although I prefer the Spanish-language version of Dracula overall).

Happy Birthday, Bela!

A Penny Dreadful for you

Penny Dreadful was an extremely well-done series on Showtime that was canceled way too soon (all three seasons are on Netflix). It was a wondrous re-creation of the Universal Monsters team up that took place in England in the late 19th century.

In the seventh episode of the first season, series star Eva Green finds herself tied down to a bed spread-eagle fashion. Her captors are trying to exorcise her. Good luck with that. Even if you're a Hammer Horror fan, you might enjoy this thrilling, creepy and scary series.

You can download the clip right here.

Don't stay in the Hostel

Heather Matarazzo gets her life turned all upside-down in Hostel II.

Her character becomes another victim of the infamous club that allows its wealthy customers to torture and kill people.

There are several bondage scenes in this film, but this is my favorite for obvious reasons. While I love bondage (obviously), I'm not a fan of torture at all.

Unfortunately Heather's character does not survive. She's completely naked in these scenes and hanging upside-down to boot, so she was a real trooper.

This is the 'damsel in distress waiting room' where victims wait bound and gagged.

Barefoot Chiropractor

Usually in these chiropractic videos the patient goes barefoot. But in this one the chiropractor is barefoot, along with her female patient. In addition to doing some good chiropractic work, she's also pretty funny, as well. Getting some laughs while getting your spine adjusted, all in one place. Perfect.

New Halloween Poser pic

The month-long Halloween party continues with another scary-themed Poser picture. This time a spunky reporter gets into trouble snooping at a creepy old castle. You can search for her right here. Hope you like it.

The New Doctor

It took me a while, but I finally managed to see the first episode of Doctor Who with Jodie Whitaker as the good Doctor. In short, I loved it, and I really like Whitaker as the Doctor. She brings a brighter, cheerier mood to what was becoming a morose TV show under Peter Capaldi. I liked Capaldi very much as the Doctor, but he was saddled with some lame scripts, particularly in his last season.

I'm looking forward to seeing what the TARDIS looks like under this new Doctor's care. I really enjoyed Whitaker's more light-hearted take on the Doctor, and I hope she stays with the role for a good long time.

Altered

From the director of The Blair Witch Project comes this equally scary flick called Altered. It deals with a group of men trying to get revenge on the aliens that abducted them. They capture an alien, but as you might expect things get out of control.

At one point Hope (Catherine Mangan) is tied to the bed FHOG (For Her Own Good). An FHOG bondage scene is when a damsel is trussed up by a sympathetic captor who's just trying to protect her.

But instead of protecting her, Hope is made a helpless target when the alien escapes and runs amok.

Of course the little bugger makes a beeline right for the trussed up Hope.

Peek-a-boo, Hope! Although it deals with alien abduction, Altered is still very scary and unnerving, making it a good movie to watch around Halloween time. Give it a shot. You can view the bondage scenes with Hope right here.

10 x 10

In 10x10, Kelly Reilly gets abducted by Luke Evans.

She gets placed in a especially-made prison within Evans' house, which is where the title of the film comes from, the cell is 10x10 in size.

Apparently, Reilly's character knows a deep, dark secret that Evans is trying to make her tell him.

She's gagged at first, but soon loses the gag. She's tied up throughout the film, and she goes barefoot the entire time as well.

It's a well-done psychological cat and mouse thriller.

The intensity of the film raises it up from being just another lame 'Lifetime' movie, and it has a neat twist to boot. Give it a shot.

The Ring

The Ring, released back in 2002, was a remake of a Japanese horror film. Directed by Gore Verbinski, who would go on to give us A Cure For Wellness, The Ring was a scary-good flick with a fair amount of BF scenes.

Amber Tamblyn stars within the first five minutes as Katie, who winds up being the first victim.

She spends all of her screen time barefoot, as she wanders around her house, investigating creepy doings that just get creepier.

And creepier....

And even creepier.

Meanwhile, what happened at Katie's house has sent her friend Becca (Rachel Bella) to an institution.

Apparently this place has a 'no shoes' policy for its patients. The Ring is an extremely well-made thriller that still holds up to this day. It's recommended.
