IT IS.. I Finally finished it.. It is a total spoof and exploration of TBWP.
From an Australian perspective. A Horror Fan That has not yet seen the film..
Similar to the Blair Warner site.. But this one is bigger in some ways..
It contains a NEWS section as on the HAXAN site, with 30 newsletters from
a try hard Aussie filmmaker (not Ed or Dan), that combines Road Rules with
TBWP, and the illegal things he does to get it on the way. A Timeline. A
Bios section. Links.. And of course hidden within the page is the JOURNAL
of one of the characters (there are clues).. I don't think in the history
of the internet there has been a spoof page quite as complete.. But just
imagine TBWP set in Western Australia, with a celeb type cast on Road Rules.
It is the ultimate blurring of reality.. Watch the filmakers journey from
obscurity to notoriety and than watch them run from the law (see the NEWS).
The Road Rules Project has taken me about 15-20 hours to construct making
it the biggest ever HFA spotlight. I have had too put the SPOTlight somepalce
else as all up the info is 2.5 meg. The page is located at http://members.xoom.com/trrproject . I trust you will
have fun reading it and laugh in awe at the hidden commentary on REAL LIFE
TELEVISION, etcetera. I can't wait for your feedback on TRRP. -GORE boy

If you llive in LA I think you should become aware of a festival of Ray Harryhausens FX in film. It kicked off last
night at the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences in B-Hills. 4.30pm
today will see the good old Ray tredding the floor boards at the Vista theatre
for a Q&A session. Tomorrow night will see Ray in attendance at a screening
of "Jason and the Argonaughts". (CSO)
Late Tuesday the 20th of July 99
Entertainement Weekly has published a PLAY-IT-SAFE list of the scariest
films of all time. It now wants fans to go in and vote for the TOP 13. AGAIN.
They currently list the top 13 like this. This list is
not a HFA endorsed list of the scariest films ever made. HFA reserves a
right to say, different films scare different people for different reason
and no statistically prepared list will ever cover YOU as an individual.
However if you would like to send me
a list of your top ten and why, I'll gladly post it on the site some place.
- The Exorcist
- The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
- Alien
- The Silence of the Lambs
- Halloween
- Jaws
- Psycho
- Seven
- The Shining
- Rosemary's Baby
- A Nightmare on Elm Street
- The Thing
- Night of the Living Dead
You can go in and ROCK up the VOTE.. HERE. Do it qucikly this is for the 23rd's issue. If
the film you think is the scariest is not there.. And MINE isn't.. You can
go to there MESSAGEBOARD and tell them, the board is moderated and
calling peopel IDIOTS for liking one film more than another is offensive
and will get your comment trashed (u may need to be a subscriber to use
MSGBOARD)... You want TBWP or whatever. The Hollywood Stock Exchange is
also getting in on the act trying to find out what people think is the scariest
film of all time. HSX.
WARNING your data will be used by Hollywood to make more of what they think
scares the MAJORITY:)

I have started an affiliate program if you want to join just email me
your sites address (be horror related) and I will link to you from the MAIN
page, on the left in the RED. Under where it says "Affiliate
Program". All you have to do is add this site to the affiliate
list on your site. Easy as. The first site in belongs to a friend of mine,
JACK SIM and his page "GHOST TOURS" which has just re-opened. It has stories
and photo's from ghost tours he has conducted around brisbane.. And is very
eerie. It isn't just about the ghosts, but the history of this small Australian
city. Check it out before you go see "The Haunting". Email me
on gb@flatrate.net.au to join up.
Late Thursday the 15th of July 99
"The Mummy" (242 screens) was
knocked back to 2nd position this week (the lowest of it's three week rein).
The Mummy has taken 1.8 mill last week in Oz, taking it's total up to 12.6
million. IT was beaten into first place by .6 mill by Entrapment. "Gods and Monsters" took 89 thousand this week,
taking it's total takings over the last 3 weeks to .5 million but the film
is in very limited release, it was hard for me to find a cinema with it
on down here to see it (23 screens). However Gods and Monsters still managed
to stay "top 20" keeping in at 15. Keep in mind that Star Wars
is still showing on 323 screens in it's sixth week down here and only managed
to get 1.7 mill this week. School holidays were not on in the northern states
last week. However they began down south.
