Algernon Blackwood
2007-10-05 00:00:00
Algernon Henry Blackwood, CBE (March 14, 1869 ? December 10, 1951) was an English writer of tales of the supernatural.Although Blackwood wrote a number of horror stories, his most typical work seeks less to frighten than to induce a sense of awe. Good examples are the novels The Centaur, which climaxes with a traveller's sight of a herd of the mythical creatures; and Julius LeVallon and its sequel The Bright Messenger, which deal with reincarnation and the possibility of a new, mystical evolution in human consciousness. His best stories, such as those collected in the book Incredible Adventures, are masterpieces of atmosphere, construction and suggestion.Born in Shooter's Hill (today part of south-east London, but then part of north-west Kent) and educated at Wellington College, Algernon Blackwood had a varied career, farming in Canada, operating a hotel, and working as a newspaper reporter in New York City. In his late thirties, Blackwood moved back to England and started to writ...

Sweeney Todd - Demon Barber of Fleet Street
2007-10-05 00:00:00
Sweeney Todd is a fictional villain/antihero. A barber and serial killer, the character appears in various English language works starting in the mid-19th century. His weapon of choice is a straight razor, with which he cuts his victim's throats; in some versions of the story his lover, friend and accomplice, Margery (sometimes Nellie or Claudette) Lovett, bakes the carcasses into meat pies.In two books, the horror and crime story writer Peter Haining argues that Sweeney Todd was a historical figure who committed his crimes around 1800. However, other researchers who have tried to verify his citations find nothing in these sources to back Haining's claims.It is sometimes claimed that the Sweeney Todd story is based upon fact, but no reliable evidence of this has ever been found. According to the tale, Todd was tried at the Old Bailey and hanged at Tyburn in January 1802, in front of a large crowd. However, no record of the trial can be found in the Old Bailey sessions papers or th...

Nosferatu
2007-10-03 00:00:00
This is the most complete version available (just over 93 minutes) as this movie was demanded by Bram Stokers widow to be destroyed after winning 2 lawsuits in the mid & late 1920's. Tinted scenes and beautiful quality. Nosferatu is a German Expressionist film by Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau, starring Max Schreck as the vampire Count Orlok. Its original German title is Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens ("Nosferatu, a Symphony of Horror"). The film, shot in 1921 and released in 1922, was in essence an unauthorised adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula, but with names and other details changed because the studio could not obtain the rights to the novel (for instance, "vampire" became "Nosferatu", and Count Dracula became Count Orlok). Plot Thomas Hutter is an employee at a real estate firm in Wismar, Germany, happily living with Ellen, his wife. One day, his employer, Knock, receives a mysterious letter, written in strange symbols. Knock decides to send him to visit Count Orlok i...

Frankenstein (1910)
2007-10-01 00:00:00
Frankenstein is a 1910 film made by Edison Studios that was written and directed by J. Searle Dawley. It was the first motion picture adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. The unbilled cast included Augustus Phillips as Dr. Frankenstein, Charles Ogle as the Monster, and Mary Fuller as the doctor's fiancée.Shot in three days, it was filmed at the Edison Studios in the Bronx, New York City. Although some sources credit Thomas Edison as the producer, he in fact played no direct part in the activities of the motion picture company that bore his name. For many years, this film was believed to be lost. In 1963, a plot description and stills were discovered published in an old Edison film catalog.In the 1950s a print of this film was purchased by a Wisconsin film collector, Alois F. Dettlaff, who did not realize its rarity until many years later. Its existence was first revealed in the mid-1970s. Although somewhat deteriorated, the film was in viewable condition, complete with ti...

DS Lite's cracked hinge getting you down? Get a new case!
2007-09-30 00:00:00
Cracked hinge got you down? My DS Lite has a cracked hinge. I figured I'd super glue it, to give it a little more stability. It worked, for a while... And I take really good care of my DS Lite too... Too bad it's out of warranty... bah... What to do...My son's DS has a cracked hinge too. Well... to be honest, maybe cracked is not the right term. Let me re-think this... My son's DS has a MISSING hinge... I checked the warranty on his too, what a bummer, it's out of warranty too...Well, pondering my options I have come up with two workable solutions.1. Duct tape... sure it's good for fixing just about anything, but it would some how take away from the sleek look of the DS lite.2. Replacement case. I've not found many, and the ones I have found have been kinda expensive. I did however find one at a good price, that even comes with the tool needed to open up the DS to transport it from one case to another. twenty bucks, for a whole new lifespan for my DS, sounds like a good deal....

How To: Read Books and Watch Movies on the DS
2007-08-27 00:00:00
It's simple to be able to read these books and watch these movies on the Nintendo DS, after you know how it's done. First you must have a device to read the files, and run the appropriate 'homebrew' applications. The G6 DS Real, the M3 Simply card or the R4 card pictured here are my devices of choice, and are pictures below. They will do the trick nicely, and relatively inexpensively. Click on the picture to order. There are also many other cards you can run Moon Shell on, these are just a couple of the latest and best.Also, you will need a Micro SD card (if you are not using the G6 DS Real, it has memory built in), to store the files on. You can find these pictures below at some of the lowest prices I've seen. Then you simply download the Moon Shell application (if required by the card you purchase) and any books or films from The Moon Books Project download section, and you are ready to go.Here are some graphic links to the hardware you need to use content from The Moon Books...
