HEAVY METAL UNDEAD ADVENTURE TEAM: MONSTER HUNT VIDEO! VISUAL KEI JROCK HAIRSTYLES, FASHION, MAKEUP IN LA GOTH HORROR MOVIE.
Adventure Team, ASSEMBLE! Team Captain La Carmina and her first mate, Yukiro Dravarious, lead the Heavy Metal Undead Adventure Team deep into the woods of — what was it — Laurel Canyon to hunt for a monster. Brace yourselves for close calls (“the hair! Fix the hair!”), dark humor and many a-violent death. (Above: the boys’ purikura from our J-pop party with Tune in Tokyo.)
We invite you to watch it embedded above, or click here. The best parts are at the end: stick around, or you’ll miss the creaky Vagasil and the Random Rave!
Bonus: here are some of my favorite photos of Ementhy — ever. Black nailpolish and an undead heavy metal electric guitar.
Please subscribe to my YouTube channel; we have more monster madness and mailbox mania on the way!

HORROR HIGH SCHOOL: JAPANESE INDEPENDENT SCARY COMEDY, GORY TEEN MOVIE. VISUAL KEI, GOTHIC LOLITA FILM.
Velcome, darklings… to Spook-Movie Week! All week long, we will be dazzling you with our eerie filmmaking from Tokyo and Los Angeles. Prepare thyselves for Comedy! Horror! Scandal and drama!
Let’s commence with this brilliant work made in Tokyo, from the minds of your favorite recurring characters on this blog. Ghouls and goblins… presenting HORROR HIGH SCHOOL (which can be viewed on the official website!)
A note from Professor Fearstone (above left): “Ever feel like your education was a waste of time? Maybe you need to start again? Whether you’re a child of night or just a social outcast, REMEMBER… You’ll always be welcome at Horror High School!!!”
(All photos from the film are © 2010 Lionheart Productions; you can see more on the HHS Website and this Flickr set.)
Meet Headmaster; Prof Fearstone (The Happy Phantom of England) – teacher of Language, Literature and Creative Scares.
Madame Morganna; Deviant Witch from another Dimension (played by Yukiro Dravarious). Learn the correct ettiquete for an aspiring Fairytale Villian. Do you have what it takes to make Beauty sleep!?
I hand the mike to the visionary, Jim McGee (Professor Fearstone): “I would like to say that this project is meant as a prototype (episode Zero) for an internet show that hopefully I’ll be able to make on a semi-regular basis. The Official Episode One is already in the works. My goal with HHS was to take all my interests and hobbies; composing melodies on my piano, fantastic fashion and of course illustration and mix them up in a big cauldron of fun!”
Intrigued? Come watch the film and meet cute Japanese vampires, witches, Sweet Lolitas, and a former Visual Kei rocker hidden by a mask. Just be sure to do your homework!
How do you like the classroom madness? What would you like to see in the next episode? Let us know in the comments, and the cast will respond to you!
