The original Scream could be credited with literally saving the horror film industry. It came along at a time when the slasher genre had petered out with badly done sequels of classics like Halloween and Friday the 13th’. There just didn’t seem to be a market for the ‘R’ rated horror flick anymore.
Director Craven and screenwriter Williamson proved them all wrong with Scream, which broke box office records and also gained a lot of critical acclaim – something most horror movies never got from mainstream film critics.
Fast forward nearly 15 years from the original film; Craven and Williamson return to the ill-fated town of Woodsboro, presenting more thrills and chills in what has become one of the most successful mainstream horror franchises in history.
“I’m looking for the mystery in the shadows.”
– Nikki Sixx
“My dream has always been the same since I was a kid, to somehow show people life through different colored lenses,” writes Nikki Sixx in the introduction to his new book, a collection of very personal words and images called This Is Gonna Hurt. “Now more than ever I feel it’s important to see that way. We need to be aware that the warped perspectives of television, Internet, and magazines are sometimes poisonous,” he continues. “I cannot walk down the street without feeling I am being subjected to some constant sales pitch on what we should look like, smell like, dress like, or even worse, what we should be like.”
A devout nonconformist, Sixx wears many hats in his life. SuicideGirls last caught up with Mötley Crüe’s co-founder and bass player shortly before the release of his bestselling book, The Heroin Diaries, a collection of journal entries that chronicled his self-destructive – but ultimately self-saving – journey to the other side of drugs. To accompany its release, Sixx put together a side project called Sixx:A.M. – a band which went on to have a life of its own. The musician, songwriter and author also has his own clothing line, and hosts two radio shows, Sixx Sense (which airs Monday to Friday) and The Side Show Countdown (which is broadcast on weekends).
But it’s Sixx’s work as a photographer that made a further conversation with the multi-talented man mandatory. His photography, as seen in this first bound collection, is shockingly beautiful. However, the beauty within the images is of a kind that complies with nothing except Sixx’s own very individual aesthetic. Reflecting the contradictions in life that have troubled him in the past, his often preconceived portraits are both ethereal and hyperreal at the same time.
SoCal ganja rappers Kottonmouth Kings are celebrating 4/20 by doing a lot more than rolling up; They’re rolling out a 6-track EP entitled Legalize It, taking preorders for their eleventh studio album, Sunrsie Sessions (out July 19), and are launching a brand new interactive Stonetown website at KottonmouthKings.com, which will take visitors on a trip through a Disneyland-style virtual theme park devoted to cannabis culture.
We checked in with frontman Brad X to find out more.
