Welcome to the Freak Chamber
WELCOME TO THE FREAK CHAMBER -- Come in, come in. There's something here for everyone, something to catch your eye, something to take home to your dreams, to your restless sleep. You stand at the light end of a passage. It's dark ahead, but don't worry. The journey through shadow won't seem as long as it really is... Or is it the other way around? Funny, but it has slipped my mind. I guess all those wailing voices echoing through these cold stone catacombs have me a bit confused. Well, every journey starts with one step, so... Don't look back, just keep moving forward and try not to tread on anything living... or dead.

Mini Luchadors Killed by Hookers
So surreal!
It's sad news for fans of the Mexican Lucha Mini stars, twin brothers Alberto and Alejandro Jimenez, known as La Parkita and El Espectrito Jr.
The two were found dead in their hotel room in Mexico City. The brothers, 35, were checking into a hotel on Sunday night after a show when they were reportedly approached by two prostitutes.
After hotel staff noticed the women leave the room hours later, but didn't spot the wrestlers, they went to go check on them. The two luchadores were found lifeless, lying in the beds.
Reports are being released that the hookers belong to Las Goteras (meaning The Drops) which is a gang of whores that robes their clients after making them pass out by drugging their drinks.
Unfortunately, the Jimenez brothers overdosed on the drugs which normally don't kill men, but officials believe because the brothers were of such small size, the dose was fatal to them.
Alcohol containers were also found in the room but the ladies are still missing.
Cops are looking for the two females and luckily have found finger prints in the room which they believe they can match to the hookers.
Sad.

I'M STILL AHEAD
CLICK IMAGE TO ENLARGE
Okay, so it's a lousy pun. But I'm still writing the script in longhand, something I haven't done for years. I keep transcribing but can't seem to catch up. I could just start using the computer at whatever point I am at in the screenplay and finish the transfer process whenever I have the time. But why fix something that works. Anyway, I'm about twenty pages into the project. It's turning out to be pretty good and I haven't even figured out where to plug in any musical numbers yet. There are four songs already composed for the film, written by Rick Ryan, Buddy Castle and Joel Plimmer. Great tunes, lyrics and arrangements. When I get them transferred to CD, I'll send out copies to all friends of this site who request them. I am not going to post script pages on this blog, but I will be happy to share them with any of you when we get together. I'm still waiting for a flood of exciting ideas from all of you. If you have the ability to post on this site, please do so. Otherwise, your comments will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Tom

PUSH TO SHOVE
CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE
This is where I give you the first installment on the new writing project. The few items I have posted thus far are things that relate to ”Wrestlers Against the Wall of Death” either directly or indirectly. They reflect the spirit of the project which is a combination of:
Lucha Libre
Horror
Musical
Carnival Location
Thrill Rides
Circus Acts
Freak Show
An Underground Temple
An Ancient Evil
Witches & Demons
Possession
Rescue
Redemption
House of Horrors
Hall of Mirrors
Wall of Death
As with “Luchadores en el Pentano de los Muertos”, the vagabond duo of Rudo and Titan take on evil against impossible odds. The dialogue is bi-lingual: half English and half Spanish, all subtitled with different color titles for the two languages.
The film will be shot on green screen and reflect a combination of the disturbing, dark vistas of “The Cabinet of Dr. Calagari” and the garish colors of a Mexican Carnival.
As friends of this site I ask you to contribute anything you find that pertains to this project. I am outlining the script now and will start writing in the next few days. I would love to see posts of pictures, video and audio clips, music, artwork, links to fiction and non-fiction – anything that seems to say “Viva Lucha Libre”, “Viva Horror”, “Viva Strange”!!!
Please post. I will respond to all contributions. No idea is too crazy. No picture is too disturbing. After all, I posted the “Robot vs. the Aztec Mummy”, a film that should only be shown at midnight.

TITAN IN TROUBLE

Here is half of our Luchador Team, Titan, about to be hammered by a dastardly demon from the last script. Brandon McKinney drew this and several other pieces of beautiful conceptual art for "Luchadores en el Pantano de los Muertos". Welcome to the wild world of Rudo and Titan, creations of that great comic artist, Alexis Ziritt.
