x304 MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH (08/15/99)

MOVIE
Every child knows the basic equation: Poe + Corman = Quality. Quality is exactly what we get with "Masque of the Red Death" with Master of the Fey, the Great Fey One, the Feyest of All, Vinnie Price, formerly Vinee Pryce. Price plays spooky Satanist Prince Prospero in this Cor-man adaptation of Poe's "classic" short story. Of course back in the day, being a Satanist was totally chique, like being a bi-sexual these days, so Prospero worshipping the horned beast was no big deal, and that's why so many of the hip celebs of the time enjoyed his great big balls. With the "Red Death" plague sweeping Europe, Prospero invites a bunch of nobility, celebrities, Hugh Hefner, and gossip columists to his castle for protection and a giant masked ball. Much debauchery and depravity ensues as Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman watch helplessly. Things take a turn for the worse when people start dying, at least a turn for the worse if you don't like necrophilia, at the appearance of a masked stranger dressed in red. Prospero thinks it is his master, Satan. However, it's revealed that the masked figure is HIMSELF, and that HE is responsible for the deaths of the party-goers at the hands of the Red Death. In the end, we learn that unprotected sex does not pay and that Yoda was right about us not needing our weapons.

HOMEGAME AFTER HOURS! (Or How I stopped worrying about the film log and learned to pad a short log for a crappy film.)
People often ask us what goes on after a game ends? What happens when the glow of the TV goes away taking bad movies with them? Do you all just leave? Do you go on with your lives? Or do you all sit in the chat room and chat about movies? Well, yes, we do all that and MORE! We do sick and depraved stuff, where we mock each other as well as random loads who enter, hence HG-ULTRA. Of course, be warned, that often we can get a little EDGY and FILTHY, but that's why it's HomeGame: After Hours. Please, enjoy these excerpts from the evening of "The Masque of the Red Death." Keep in mind, it's of a mature nature and should only be read by those over 18 or with mature minds, which ever comes first. And yes, this is actual conversation from the 15th of August, 1999.

Plummx> Just when we think we've bottomed out, we go deeper.
EvilJen> ooooh, thayer, you're so shameless!

Ironf> Go down, down, down
Plummx> nothign wrong with going down
Ironf> So I've kept hearing all night long.
EvilJen> men are way too squeamish about it.
Trademark2> In the absence of a topic, sex will always do in a pinch...
EvilJen> And most of them aren't very good, either.

thayer> they all need manuals
EvilJen> you just have to pretend they are to help their little egos.
EvilJen> Exactly.
Trademark2> Not squeamish at all here...
Ironf> That's why you need to teach them well and let them lead the way
EvilJen> ah, that's what I love about myself, when I'm heartbroken and bitter, I start talking like a 10 dollar whore.
EvilJen> well, maybe a 50 dollar whore.
EvilJen> nothing can piss me off today. I had the day from hell.
Trademark2> Ah, I was looking for that. Can I have it back now?

EvilJen> well, I've had it since Friday, so feel free to take it.
Trademark2> There may be bootlegs making the rounds.
Balthayzr> Gaaaah! Worse than a Day from Hell: A Bootleg Day From Hell!
Trademark2> If your Day from Hell is kinda fuzzy and the sound is poor, it may not be genuine.
Balthayzr> My Days From Hell get fuzzy toward the end, but I think it's the booze.
Trademark2> I once had a Day from Hell that was fifth-generation. It had a "woowwr" kind of sound and a phase effect going on.
thayer> what's got you so bitter, jamie?
Plummx> me?
Plummx> A bit of this and that, thayer. It can all add up.
