Leave it to the French to have the most Evil Serial Killer of all time

Gilles de Rais

Gilles de Montmorency-Laval (1404-1440) is considered to be a precursor to the modern serial killer. He was a Breton knight, a leader in the French army who fought alongside Joan of Arc. He was the first recorded serial killer accused and convicted of raping, torturing and ultimately murdering up to 200 children who were mainly boys in the 1430's.

In his youth he was married to an extremely wealthy heiress and lived a life of extravagance and debauchery. When his funds began to dwindle and he could no longer support his lifestyle he turned to alchemy. When that didn’t work, a certain Francisco Prelati who was an Italian priest, suggested that he offer children as human sacrifices to help him plead to a demon called “Baron” to turn common metals to gold.

Rais lured children mainly boys with the promise that all he wanted to do was play with them. Once he got them to his chateau Rais hung his victims with ropes from a hook to prevent the child from crying out loud, then he raped, tortured and masturbated over the child. Afterwards it was either Rais's cousin Gilles de Sillé or Gilles' bodyservants Poitou and Henriet who killed the child. The victims were killed by decapitation, cutting of their throats, dismemberment, or breaking of their necks with a stick. A short, thick, double-edged sword called a braquemard was kept at hand for the murders.

 According to Poitou, Rais disdained the victim’s sexual organs, and took “infinitely more pleasure in debauching himself in this manner…than in using their natural orifice, in the normal manner."

In his own confession, Gilles testified that “when the said children were dead, he kissed them and those who had the most handsome limbs and heads he held up to admire them, and had their bodies cruelly cut open and took delight at the sight of their inner organs; and very often when the children were dying he sat on their stomachs and took pleasure in seeing them die and laughed…”(Source)

Rais greatest pleasure of all was weltering in the childrens blood, his servants would stab the child in the jugular vein and let the blood flow over him while he sat in a bathtub. 

Some sources say that after Rais murdered a child he would feel so guilty that he would plead and pray to God for forgiveness but while he kneeled and prayed his servants burned the body and clothes of the victim in  Rais room in his fireplace and it is said he inhaled these fumes with delight. On 26 October Rais and his accomplices were executioned by hanging and burning.

On my mini-break while writting this blogpost i did this really cool quiz of " What kind of serial killer would you be?" this was my final result:

You're a planner. You'd carefully plot each murder, and carry it out methodically. You'll kill them in one location and move them to another later, and you'll study up your forensic science. The good news is, you're much harder to catch. You'll have a specific reason to kill. You'll target a specific group, like prostitutes or members of a minority, and you'll believe their deaths are justified on the grounds that you're "cleansing" the earth of that particular kind of people. You'll think you're helping society.

 

Uhm WOW okeeey good to know lol! here is the link to that quiz: http://www.gotoquiz.com/what_kind_of_serial_killer_would_you_be

After that i did another "Which famous serial killer are you most like?" quiz, here were my results:

Charles Manson
You are Charles Manson...You are a free spirit who has very strong personal beliefs...You are a very convincing person which is why so many lost souls allowed themselves to be brainwashed by you...You are truly a deranged individual.

Hahaha I didnt need a quiz to tell me im deranged i knew that from the get-go!

Here is the link to that quiz: http://www.youthink.com/quiz.cfm?obj_id=179076

Did Freddy Krueger fall prey to Hollywood and get some Botox and a face lift?

Before watching the new Nightmare on Elm Street 2011 movie last night I knew before hand from watching numerous interviews with the director and cast that they had apparently made “minor” changes to the new Freddy Krueger but it seems like the producer and the makeup artist need to pick up an Oxford dictionary and look up the meaning of minor as they have NO friggin clue what it means because to them the minor changes was his physical appearance and his voice. That’s like me telling my friends I’m going to get some MINOR plastic surgery but later come out of the operating room looking like Cher.

To me it looked like he had just gotten some work done before the filming of this movie don’t believe me here are some pics of the new and "improved" Freddy:

 Then to have the nerve to use a totally different actor for the role after we have grown to love and cherish the original one Robert Englund was a surprise i didn't really like. I mean once you get news that the original actor won’t play in the new movie the words “ABORT!ABORT!” should cross your mind as a producer but if you feel you just HAVE to continue on then bloody hell at least get a good enough replacement! I mean the new guy sounded like he had a fur ball stuck in his throat the whole movie; he was scrawnier and looked more like a ghoul than a serial killer. Hihihi ok re-reading that now I couldn’t help but burst out laughing but seriously though what’s next? An obese Pinhead in a new Hellraiser movie or the opposite an anorexic Jason??!! I guess basically what I’m trying to say to all the producers and directors out there is that if you plan to make a remake of a classic successful horror movie just keep in mind that there are millions of devoted some even obsessed fans i.e. Me :P who became that because we fell in love with the main character of that movie, therefore if you are to do a remake then don’t change the main character instead change the plot, which I think the directors of Halloween have done well because even though the story changes over time in the different remakes Michael Myers still physically remains somewhat the same.

What bugs me even more is that this movie was produced in friggin 2011??!! How is it possible that the character in a 1984 movie is scarier than one in 2011 when we are supposedly more technologically advanced??!! How is a makeup artist in 1984 much better than one today, the Freddy Krueger in the older movies burnt look looked more believable than in this new remake where in my eyes he looked more sautéed than burnt. I guess this leads me to my final questions for the day: If you have watched the new Nightmare on Elm Street movie what are your thoughts on it and the new improved Freddy? Also why do you think older horror movies are scarier than new age ones shouldn’t it be the other way around since we are supposed to be more advanced?

Oh by the way if you want to read a full review on this movie then please go and check it out on Marvin the Macabre blog Films my spouse made me watch and the link to the movie review is here:http://robandchelle.blogspot.com/2010/05/nightmare-on-elm-street-2010-review-and.html and don’t forget to follow his banging blog he really puts in a lot of work when writing his reviews so I hope you enjoy his site.

P.S the reason I have kind of been M.I.A on my blog is because I travelled to spend my summer vacation at home and have just been settling in and spending some one on one bonding time with la familia but now that I’m sick of their faces I’m back again! Hahaha jokes but yeah I was also having internet problems at home so that’s why I went kind of went silent for a bit but like Rocky Balboa I’m back again babeeeee and I aint going nowhere!! :D

I don't have a short attention span I just...OMG look its an ant!!!!

So i have been wanting to put up more movie reviews on this blog but I just can't seem to finish any of the horror movies i begin to watch making my mission impossible to finish. I don't know but I kinda have this thing that if a movie doesn't captivate me in the first 20 minutes I completely lose interest and do not concentrate on the movie at all, i swear this one time i sat down to watch a movie and literally after 30 minutes i just got up went to my bathroom and started straightening my hair :/.

I try i really do try but it seems that all the movies i pick to watch just suck soooo bad i just can't force myself to finish them. Does this mean i have a short attention span? because i kind of do the same thing when talking to people especially my mom like she can be talking to me about something and I will totally be paying attention for like 10 minutes and then after that my brain goes on auto pilot and all i hear is" blah blah blah blah  you know blah blah blah blah unbelievable blah blah blah blah what do you think blah blah blah ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME!!!!!!" 

So yes the reason why i have technically only put up one movie review in the past week is because of this. bleh :/ but hopefully i will find some good movies to watch and will hopefully put up some new movie reviews soon. If you have any suggestions i mean ANY suggestions on good movies to watch please write them in the comment box below and will definitely check them out! :)

Don't you wish your priest was this kickass?

Don't we all dream of our priest being a kickass vampire slayer/marshal artist?

...No?...Just me? well i think after watching Priest (2011) directed by Scott Steward you might change your mind. So for this weekends Halloween Weekend Horror Nights I recommend you watch it if you haven't already.

So i don't want to give too much away but this movie is basically a sort of modern western post-apocalyptic movie set in a different world where for years there has been this never ending war between vampires and humans. Its all up to this legendary vampire-slayer priest (played by Paul Bettany), his nieces Sheriff boyfriend (Cam Gigandet) and another badass priestess (Maggie Q) to stop the vampires from succeeding and to also save the priests'  niece who has been kidnapped by the very same vampires.

Why you should watch it?

Because its a great action packed exhilarating movie. The vampires are visually awesome because they are actually monstrous and do not look one bit human and they are of course lethal, ferocious and have no mercy at all. The casting is awesome you have Paul Bettany who gives a rogue magnetic performance, you have Maggie Q (the same woman who plays Nikkita in the series Nikkita) who as usual delivers on the badass and has got me wanting to sign up for marshal art classes, you have Karl Urban who gives a superbly evil and devious performance and then of course what is a movie without some pretty boy eye candy and thats where Cam Gigandet fits in :).

Why you might not like it:

It kind of feels like the director stole various scenes from different movies and morphed it into this one. I think while watching this a light bulb will switch on and you will recognize some of the scenes are like modified versions from other previous movies. There is especially this slow-motion fighting scene in the movie that i think the concept was completely stolen from The Matrix, other movies that may come into mind while watching this is Daybreakers, Resident Evil, Blade and Legion.

Last thoughts:

After watching this movie and many others like it I have always had this one reoccurring question.The aim of the vampires is to over-run the human race and drive it to extinction by basically eating them or turning them into vampires too right? but lets say the vampires win, lets say they have completely driven the whole human race to extinction then what? are they all gonna just sit around chilling on the beach sipping margaritas? what will they eat if they have basically killed off their main food source?

What are your thoughts on that?
