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.
Disturbing: The Trial of the West Memphis Three
Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills
JONESBORO, Ark. (AP) - A judge has denied a request for a new trial for three men convicted of killing three boys in West Memphis 15 years ago.
Circuit Court Judge David Burnett issued an order Wednesday denying the request. Lawyers for Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley - known by supporters as the "West Memphis Three" - had requested a new trial, arguing that new DNA evidence clears their clients.
Both Baldwin and Misskelley claim their lawyers failed to adequately represent them during their separate trials. Their lawyers also say DNA evidence provided by Echols' defense team shows the men did not kill Steven Branch, Christopher Byers and Michael Moore.
The Arkansas Supreme Court has upheld their convictions.

Operation Northwoods
After declassification, documents are available that prove that Kennedy's Joint Chiefs of Staff
presented a plan that: "called for innocent people to be shot on American streets; for boats carrying refugees fleeing Cuba to be sunk on the high seas; for a wave of violent terrorism to be launched in Washington, D.C., Miami, and elsewhere. People would be framed for bombings they did not commit; planes would be hijacked.Using phony evidence, all of it would be blamed on Castro, thus giving Lemnitzer and his cabal the excuse, as well as the public and international backing, they needed to launch their war." JFK rejects it. No wonder there are so many 911 conspiracies.

The Highway to Hell
The Highway to Hell (The Highway to Death)
At the end of the first Gulf War, Iraqi soldiers were driven out of Kuwait fleeing by the fastest means possible, the single highway leading out. Obviously there was quite a a bit of traffic as many evacuated. Trapped in this mess, Team America sprayed them with bullets, bombs and napalm, even those that ran out of their vehicles, completely exposed, into the desert. "surely one of the most heinous war crimes in contemporary history", USA kept media out as they cleaned up the truly grim aftermath of this massacre of tens of thousands.

Historic Relic... Chapman's Double Fantasy
Mark Chapman has been trying to get some cash for the album John Lennon signed hours before his murder for years. This piece of history is currently up for sale at £312,500.
I guess this historic relic is a little classier than the auction of Jeffry Dahmer's refrigerator.

"What a Wonderful World": a Tool of Terror!
Just like 'Clockwork Orange' and 'Singing in the Rain', movie directors can turn our favorite songs into tools of terror! The juxtaposition of sweet songs and violence is always an unnerving one, making already horrible images or events that much more tragic. I noticed it today while watching 'Good Morning Vietnam'. Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" is laid out over a montage of war in Vietnam with haunting and almost requiem like effect. The same song and contrast is also used in Michael Moore's 'Bowling for Columbine' (great movie) over an incredible history of violent American policy.

Odd Person of Note: Michael Carroll
The tragic Michael Carroll won 10 million pounds in the British lottery and earned his tabloid title “Lottery lout” by using his winnings to be the biggest jerk ever. Of course, he bought expensive homes, cars, cocaine and jewelry—but he also spewed death threats at most, was a notoriously paranoid thug and avid racist. To the horror of his neighbors, he turned the back yard of one his residences into his own private demolition derby. When he ran out of derby cars, he and his entourage would smash the luxury cars! He became an infamous tabloid media monster, amateur boxer, drug addict, and criminal. He squandered his millions in an astonishing 18 months, he also lost his family. Not surprisingly, he inspired countless news articles and a documentary.

Cannibal Holocaust.. Ughhhhh
Cannibal Holocaust (1980):
When I hear about a movie where the director was actually jailed for making it, I have to see it. Banned in dozens of countries, filmed in South America, it is a 'cinema verite' indictment of "Gonzo Journalism" and media exploitation. This horrid "film" is the most disgusting, sick, perverted thing I've ever seen. The most racist, sexist, cruel to animals... perhaps I agree with the director's arrest.
I am no better for seeing it, couldn't finish it (that's a first!), and cannot recommend.
