Earthquake!
I caught the insane footage of the partial collapse of a church in Italy on History Channel's Shockwave yesterday, mind blowing.
After an earthquake in 1997, the roof falls damaging the thousand year old frescoes, footage here around 1:00. More here. It took 2 years to rebuild. Looks like the end of the world!

Whorror Favorite: Alien and Aliens
Alien (1979) and Aliens (1986)Wow, what more do I have to say? Well, ok... These 2 movies came way before their time—space movies remained a subgenre, not mainstream fare, before the first movie. In fact, Alien only got the greenlight because of the success of Star Wars. Sophistcated and beautiful, with the help of H. R. Giger and old school f/x (pre computer) these movies remain examples of timeless horror and exceptional movie making.
If you haven't seen either since the time of their release, you must watch them again.
Just got the Alien Quadriolgy, loving every minute of it.
Pic of the Day
Ed Gein in his kitchen.
The original boogieman. Sure, there were serial killers before and after him, but no one can compare to this sick animal in the unassuming farm house. His cannibal/installation art career occurred well before the horror movies started pumping out of Hollywood. He thought of all these sick things all on his own! He is a benchmark on how sick and depraved humans can be, and a model for all of the most famous horror movie killers.
