Scare Dare 2: Scary Korean Comic

Gonna say this right up front, if you are thinking of reading the comic

DO IT BEFORE YOU WATCH THIS VIDEO!

Todays Scare Dare is a quicky to keep you going on the long wait for “The Dare” video. It’s a much bigger video with multiple camera’s and is taking me a while to get it ready. Feel free to Donate on the right, and help me get a better computer faster. For now here is one loads of people have asked me for (Jordan, a.r. and Gaza for example). Thanks to a guy called “Wonderbread” I now have an English link. I don’t know who originally did it (let me know so I can give credit) but it is a creepy comic from Korea (that’s what I’m told anyway). Feel free to read along with me right here.

Hope you enjoyed. Keep the ideas rolling in, especially quick ones like this because I can get them to you quick. If it’s a website please send a link too.

Stay scared guys!

P.S.

Check out the first Scare Dare, “The Magic”

What I missed while I’ve been gone

You may have noticed an extreme lack of updates over the last month or so. There is a pretty good reason for this, we moved, and only just got our internet connected today. I’ll be trying to catch up with a few things over the next few weeks, but until then, here’s some great videos you no doubt already have seen, but I have only just got a chance to show.

They showed this new Avengers teaser during the Super Bowl (apparently something culturally significant in the USA). It has officially more Hulk.

It’s no secret I have a spider-obsession. This new trailer is just backing up what I keep saying, this is gonna be awesome.

Max Landis is shaping up to be just as awesome as his dad (make sure you go see Chronicle). This hilarious explanation of the Death of Superman saga is well worth a look.

Thanks for hanging around guys, will try to add more soon.

This is seriously great. Watch it, and make sure you leave these guys a comment telling them how awesome they are.

Bizarre Found Footage on Youtube…

brendansfantasticfriends — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 09:27:06 +0000

Some friends I have made on online recently sent me a link to some very strange footage. They tell me they discovered a box of Super 8 footage in an estate sale. The footage is quite messed up, but they are cleaning it up and putting it online. The footage is strange and occasionally disturbing. Here is one example.

You can find there Youtube channel here. There is much more footage, but they still don’t know what is going on. Help try to solve the mystery behind this footage, and share your thoughts either here or on their site.

Best Practical Jokes…

brendansfantasticfriends — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 07:42:49 +0000

Me and my friends have always been into practical jokes. Who can forget the interrupted Warcraft game that turned into a car covered in stickers…

…the ritual interrupted by a telephone salesman…

…or even more recently the real life werewolf man who just couldn’t get a lift.

But most of the time the best adventures go unfilmed. A zombie chasing Domino’s employees round the store will only be remembered by the lucky few who saw it. However lately I hae been watching quite a few practical jokers on YouTube who are much more dedicated to capturing these pranks, and I thought I would share a few of my favourites.

Alki Stevens

Alki is a prankster whose videos cover a lot of types. Most famous though are his variations on Cone-Ing, Old Man pranks and excellent understated “Bored at Work” Prank Calls. Check out this great example…

Nikki & John Pranks

Nikki and John are a couple who constantly prank each other. The sheer amount and some of the ferocity of the pranks are enough reason for these guys to make the cut. Occasionally (I think) they set up the odd thing, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that most of it is pretty damn hilarious. Hell, she glued his hair to his hat with super glue. Check some out…

The Japanese

While not a prank group as a such, The Japanese are some of the most hardcore pranksters the world has ever seen. Watch this, it is insane…

The Dudesons

Hailing from Finland these guys are some of the best out there. Just watch it already…

CKY Crew

Whether it was CKY, Jackass or Viva La Bam, these guys were responsible for some of the greatest pranks of all time. This one for example…

All this is kind of inspiring me to dust off the old Friendly Young Men crew and get out and film some more pranks. Look out friends and family, here we come.

My Top Ten Most Anticipated Movies of 2012

brendansfantasticfriends — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 09:00:33 +0000

I just saw Tintin, and it was incredible. If you love the comics, or just a good adventure you should go see it right now!

Still there? After seeing it I realised it’s probably the last movie I’ll see this year and inevitably my mind moved on to the upcoming movies of 2012. Then I made a list because I like doing that, then I posted it here because I love you guys. Check it out, and make sure to disagree with me in the comments at the bottom.

No trailer, no pictures, no synopsis, not even a firm release date (You can get bet it will be pretty close to Halloween though) and I am still prepared to call this my number 10. The 3rd movie was the best yet, it’s one of the most consistent horror series ever, and you can bet it will make about a zillion bucks. I will be there day one!

WHAT? Are you on crack? The sequel to (the abominable, terrible, horrible mess of a movie) Ghost Rider. That’s what I would have said if someone had told me I would be ranking this number 9. Then I saw this…

It quite possibly will still be terrible, but that was one hell of a trailer.

You may be thinking, that came out months ago. If you are thinking that, you don’t live in Australia. It will be out in just over 2 weeks though, and I am very excited! The Muppets big comeback is right around the corner.

I can almost hear the angry bile building up in Batman fanboys everywhere as I write. Yes indeed, this movie will most likely be amazing. However, it’s a big year for movies and this being the 3rd in a series my anticipation is not quite as high as it might be. Come on guys, 7 isn’t so bad really.

What is this you ask? I think it’s gonna be the surprise hit of the year.

If you don’t know what this is, go to your local bookstore and ask for a copy. It’s the best new fantasy series in a long time. This ain’t an elves prancing about picking flowers movie though. This is America’s Battle Royale!

A new entry in the American Pie series (a proper one, not some Beta House bollocks) is coming, and it looks glorious. No doubt they will rename it American Pie: The Reunion here though because apparently all Australian’s are morons. I couldn’t decide which trailer to post so I posted both, take your pick or enjoy two slices.

It’s nearly a year away till we will return to Middle Earth (unless you live in New Zealand) but I’m already shining up my precious. (What does that even mean?) In my mind Peter Jackson can do no wrong, and I was thrilled to hear he was doing this. They just released the (incredible) first trailer and my expectations are sky-high.

The ultimate team up movie. Understand this has never happened before, the closest we have come was Alien VS Predator or Freddy VS Jason. They have been building this universe over 5 movies (Iron Man, Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America) and we are soon going to see the payoff. Marvel are trying something new and I applaud them for it. This is what all comic fans want to see.

Damn, forgot how awesome that trailer was. Now, without further ado…

There are a lot of people on message boards talking a lot of shit about this movie. Guess what boys, prepare to look like idiots when this comes out! Great actors, great director, great suit (yeah, I said it) and a great villain. I make no secret of my Spidey love, and

I CAN NOT WAIT!

So there you have it. Like I said before, it’s gonna be a great year for movies and they didn’t all quite make it. There is all the Christmas holiday movies (Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Hugo, Sherlock Holmes all look good), Cabin in the woods is finally coming out, the trailer for Prometheus looks awesome (I am not the biggest Alien fan but it still very nearly made the list), Sacha Baron Cohen is back with The Dictator, Expendables 2 (I wasn’t as impressed by the first as I’d hoped, please be less CG and more pyros), Jack the Giant Killer and possibly a new Wolverine (if they ever work out who’s directing it and where). Man of Steel would have made it had it not been pushed back. I even hope for a return to form for Scary Movie 5 (The first one wasn’t bad) with the sheer wealth of horror it has had to send up in the past few years.

Make sure you tell me how wrong I got it in the comments, and feel free to post your own list so I can do the same.
