I just watched The Conjuring 2, and while it’s on my mind in a similar vein to this post, I also want to spread some appreciation for Javier Botet because GOD DAMN LOOK AT THIS SHIT
He has Marfan Syndrome, which is a rare connective tissue condition that gives him bizarrely elongated limbs and allows him to do unnatural things with his body, and he’s built quite a resume for himself appearing in horror movies
Like Doug Jones, he also appeared as three of the ghosts in Crimson Peak:
But you may have also seen him as The Crooked Man in The Conjuring 2:
Eddie’s leper in IT:
The Nina monster in all three REC movies:
Set, the God of Death in The Mummy (2017):
The titular creature in Mama:
He did motion capture work for the Xenomorph in Alien: Covenant:
And he most recently appeared in Insidious: The Last Key and the Slender Man movie!!
He’s done other more obscure horror movies too but basically this guy is adorable and inspiring and an amazing talent and I adore him 8D
The sculpture was created by the Japanese special effects company Link Factory (Midori Hayashi) and is called Mother Bird . The art piece was displayed at Tokyo’s horror art Vanilla Gallery. It is an image of a woman with strange distorted features and a bird’s body. It became an urban legend on the Spanish-speaking web and eventually came to be known as the “Momo Challenge,” a suicide challenge game. Neither Hayashi or Link Factory are associated with the Momo challenge.
The legend is that Momo is a cursed Whatsapp user associated with the number
+81 3 4510 2539 (use caution and use at your own risk, we personally have not contacted this number). Anyone who sends a message to the number ends up receiving disturbing photographs, gets their personal information put online, or gets invited to do the “Momo Challenge”. The people behind the challenge target vulnerable teenagers and threaten them. The victims are convinced to perform bizarre life-threatening tasks, following the infamous footsteps of other horror-based games like Blue Whale.
Till now, the Momo challenge has been linked to the death of a 12-year old Argentinean girl as per a report by Buenos Aires Times. Following this, the Cops in Argentina are searching for the “adolescent with whom she exchanged those messages”.
