JC's Vampires

First off, Happy Halloween! I hope you're enjoying this day of scary merriment as you see fit.

In honor of Halloween, here's Sheryl Lee as Katrina, a down-on-her-luck hooker who ran afoul of vampires and got bitten one their master.

When she wakes up, Katrina finds herself tied down to a bed and gagged by a vampire hunter played by Daniel Baldwin, who knows she's about to turn.

Baldwin tries to make nice with her by removing her gag so they can have a canversation.

When Lee tries to scream, Baldwin hand-gags her. Lee is tied to the bed while completely naked through this whole scene. You can see a clip (and far more nakedness) of this right here.

And Happy Halloween, once again.

A Bell From Hell part 3

And so John is in the process of slicing up his cousins, all of whom are suspended naked with their hands bound above their heads.

He even goes through the process of washing them, as if they were sides of beef in a butcher shop. To say that John really has some serious issues is putting it mildly.

I'm impressed that such small tape gags can remain in place under so much water.

But the youngest sister, Esther, isn't taking any of this shit.

And so Esther manages to work herself loose.

It's poetic justice that since she was the very first to be captured by John, Esther is the one who ultimately saves herself and her sisters.

With Esther's help, all three sisters free themselves and live happily after after--but not before taking good care of their "dear" cousin John, first.

Happy Samhain

Leslie, the heroine of my latest Poser picture, finds herself in a precarious situation after trying to snoop on some cultists in this, my last Halloween-themed picture of the '21 season. You can see it right here.

Note: the picture I used here is from Greta.

One more note: Have a Happy Halloween Weekend!

A Bell From Hell Part 2

And then there's this really lovely shot.

I don't know which of the ladies this is supposed to be. But we're treated to this nice long panning shot as one of the women is lifted off of her table.

The focus of the whole shot is her bound bare feet.

I like the smooth clean line of the leather strap around her ankles.

And then she presses her feet onto the edge of the table, as if trying to hold on with just her toes.

But she winds up swinging--hanging from her arms--with her bound feet dangling off of the floor.

A very nice scene for us. There's still more to come in part three.

A Bell From Hell Part 1

A Bell From Hell is an interesting film. Released in the 1970s, it dealt with a young man named John (Renaud Verley) who has spent some time in a mental insitution, only to be sent home to live with his aunt and three grown cousins Teresa (Nuria Gimeno), Maria (Christine Betzner) and Esther (Maribel Martín).

But John seems to have some issues, as seen here, where he's playing a tie up game with Esther.

It's when Esther realizes--too late--that John had meant to tie her up for real.

Later, after he's captured all of his cousins, John takes them down to his special torture chamber in the family home (!!!), where he ties them up on metal tables.

Now naked, all three women are strung up by John as if they were sides of beef.

They're bound hands above their heads and feet together, and gagged with tape.

Things don't look good for our heroines, but stay tuned for part two.

Halloween II

I was re-watching Halloween II recently (because, here's the season to be terrorized, fa la la la la....) and I noticed something for the very first time. Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis), pretty much goes barefoot through a large chunk of this film.

She's in the hospital because of her injuries from the first film. However, working with just a skeleton crew, the hospital is an easy mark for Mikey, who starts killing people one by one.

And so poor Laurie, thinking she can finally get some rest, winds up running for her life--this time barefoot, and clad in just a hospital gown.

Suffering a hairline fracture in her ankle, Laurie wears bandages on one of her feet while she plays her cat and mouse game with Mr. Myers.

But no matter where she is, or what she wears, nothing keeps Laurie down. Except maybe a bad script.

DUNE (2021)

I saw the new Dune, and it is the best Dune out of all of the adaptations. While only adapting the first half of Frank Herbert's masterpiece, director Denis Villeneuv chose the best place to cut the story--and, in doing so, manages to fill out the narrative wonderfully, adding details from the book that weren't even in the earlier Movie/TV versions of Dune.

But, as you can see by the pictures (which I've brightened) I have here, they didn't cut the kidnapping scene with Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson) and Paul (Timothée Chalamet). They are captured by troops from House Harkonnen right from their beds and are being sent into the deep desert to die.

Jessica, because she uses a psychic weapon known as the Voice, is gagged. She's bound wrists behind and bare feet together, as well as also being strapped into her chair aboard the Harkonnen ship.

The one annoying thing is that we've got a couple of shots of bound bare feet--but they belong to Paul (arrgh!).

But there are some shots of Jessica's bound hands, as she "talks" to Paul through signing.

Ferguson is still bound barefoot in this scene, and she continues going barefoot for a brief time afterward. You can see this in the clip (not clipped by me) right here.

Hey, Dejah!

Was surfing the net the other day and came across this very nice cover for a Dejah Thoris/Barbarella crossover comic. I like how both women are hnaging out while barefoot. This is from Leah Williams and German Garcia.

Although Dejah Thoris is known to go barefoot all the time in her own adventures on her home planet of Barsoom (known as Mars to us Earthlings) in the John Carter: Warlord of Mars comics, as well as her own comic series. And, as seen here, Dejah even gets tied up while BF, as well.

Since the House of the Mouse released that live-action John Carter movie a few years ago, I can seriously say that Dejah Thoris is my favorite of the Disney princesses.

Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning

Ginger Snaps Back is the third and final in a series of films where teenage girls become werewolves.

Taking place in the Canadian wilderness in the early 1800s, two teenage sisters take refuge at a fort from the severe winter cold. However, they did not count on the fort already suffering a constant attack by legions of werewolves that roam the woods.

One of the girls, played by Katherine Isabell, is taken captive by the fort's chaplin, who suspects that she's a werewolf.

This results in her being bound and gagged to a table. It's a short (and dark) scene, but one that's very nice for the simple fact that her bound bare feet are in full view.

There's also a lot of nice struggling from Isabell, who's clad in just her night gown (she was abducted right from her bed).

Isobell went onto a nice acting career, starring in the Netflix supernatural series The Order, as well as Hannibal, and more recently in the TV movie The Long Island Serial Killer: A Mother's Hunt for Justice.

Il demonio

Il demonio is a black and white horror movie (and fitting in with our Halloween theme this month) that was made in Italy in 1963. Daliah Lavi plays a young peasant girl who is accused of being a witch by her neighbors.

As a result, she's tied up in a bedroom while she undergoes the process of being purged of the evil spirits that dwell within her. It's a very brief scene, but she's scantily clad, barefoot, and the ropework on her wrists is just *chef's kiss.* You can see this right here.

Casual Ghost Hunting

In my latest Poser picture, a scantily clad woman agrees to an unusual--and extremely casual--form of ghost hunting. She'll soon regret it. See the horrors for yourself right here.

Note: the picture is taken from the series 90201: the third season episode named Liars.
