Well I'll be boycotting that then

I read that the cast signed a contract to not make public appearances for like a year after the release to add to the realistic feel, so that kind of backfired.

And same, I've no interest in seeing animals slaughtered, especially for no reason whatsoever.

What a shame, Cannibal Holocaust sounded like such a great film

WELP, that majorly backfired. Surely they'd be allowed to break the contracts in order to clear the filmmakers of murder?

(And the fake murder of people doesn't really compare to the actual murder of animals...)

Yeah, he had to get them together on a TV show eventually to prove they were indeed alive.

And exactly! I get that not everyone is vegetarian (and I only became one a couple of years ago so I can't really judge meat eaters), but killing animals just to increase the realistic aspect of a movie is just needless slaughter.

OMG

Yeah, it's completely realistic. What animals were killed?

From wikipedia:

The animals killed onscreen were:

A coatimundi (mistaken as a muskrat in the film), killed with a knife.
A large turtle, decapitated and its limbs, shell, and entrails removed.
A tarantula, killed with a machete.
A snake, killed with a machete.
A squirrel monkey, decapitated with a machete.
A pig, shot in the head with a shotgun at close range.

Omg, and

Although six animal deaths appear onscreen, seven animals were killed for the production, as the scene depicting the monkey's death was shot twice, resulting in the death of two monkeys.

Horrible.

Deodato (director) himself has condemned his past actions, saying "I was stupid to introduce animals."

I should think so, too.

Yeah, this stuff is really interesting and addictive. But I always regret googling it when I need to get up in the middle of the night for a glass of water or something and I have it in the back of my mind.

Your wish is my command

who's heard of the Pauline myth?

Apparently if you go to your fridge late at night Pauline (BB15) will appear and say "Who ate all the chicken".

If you say you don't know she will kill you, but if you say Jale she will let you go.

At some college campuses, it’s apparently a tradition for students who live in dorms to all let loose with a scream at a designated time. According to the stories, it helps the students release stress, especially during finals week. On finals week at UCLA, the tradition was for everybody to scream at midnight to let out all that pent-up frustration. So, just as expected, everyone did their screaming ritual and the campus rang with the caffeine-fueled howls of a horde of exhausted youths. The ritual complete, the campus quieted down and everyone eventually went to bed, only to discover the next morning that one of the screams had been real. A young woman had been raped at precisely midnight, her assault timed to coincide with the noisiest moment of the year. Nobody heard it, because what’s one scream among hundreds? Legend has it that since then, the screaming tradition has been banned from the UCLA campus, and anyone who breaks the rule is punished with expulsion.

Guys watch a movie called 'Amusement' there is a creepy as **** part when this college student takes an over-night babysitting job and as she is putting the kids to bed the house owner calls and asks how the kids are and if the spare room is ok (the room is full of toys and dolls) and the girl tells her the life size clown doll in the rocking chair creeps her out and the woman on the phone is confused and asks what doll and the girl looks up the hall to the doll sitting in the chair in the distance and the woman tells her she doesn't have a life size clown doll and the doll stands up and runs at the babysitter.

It's based on an old Urban Legend, it's probably one of the better done horror movies based on urban legends.

Oh god yeah, that's the one I was referring to earlier. I didn't know it had been used in a movie.

The opening to Urban Legend is still one of my favourite horror movie scenes, based on the "killer in the backseat" one and it's done to really good effect.
