The Exorcist
[#304]
[Note: They say after this movie came out church attendance sky-rocketed. How so very pathetic. Cool movie though. The version released in recent years, the one they marketed as 'The version you've never seen', was great. Some of the scenes they cut because they were too shocking in the 70's are the best. The scene where Regan, the little girl possessed, crawling down the stairs, legs bent like a grasshopper, was especially cool and disturbing. Part two was forgettable, yet decent, but part three was very cool. All the other recent releases avoid. The last DVD below 'In the Grip of Evil' is a documentary about the case that inspired the film Exorcist.]

[Below: In 2022 and 2023 two one ounce silver 'coins' were released, the latter to honor the 50 year anniversary of the Exorcist. They were released by Niue... as 'legal tender', but this is just hype to add some sort of legitimacy to these releases. Basically you release silver or gold of anything and get some little shithole country to add their name to it. Anyway, here is the first one. It was limited to 2000. Here it is in the case. Front.]

[Note: Here's another example of a handful of letters we received back in 1998/99 after Mourning the Ancient images were mistakenly published in a 'zine of the day, The Grimoire. To see a scan and read a little bit more about it click here. uh...
Ordo Equitum Solis
[#306]
[Note: Getting a package with a new CD from one of your all-time favorite bands is a great thing.]
Elegy Records
[#307]
[Note: The Incantation release pictured here, 'Tribute to the Goat' promises that the first 666 copies come smeared in goat's blood. If this is true, I wonder who did the honors of sitting there and smearing goat's blood on 666 CDs? Kinda gross if you ask me... Yet, I still want one! Haha...]

BUIO OMEGA/Barcode flag
[#308]
[Note: These two stickers are unrelated, besides the fact I don't have much to say about either. Great concept on the flag though. I find it absurd that most American flags are now made in communist China. Or how about Americans celebrating their democracy and independence every 4th of July with communist Chinese fireworks?!]
Psicoterror

[Note: Never seen this mag, but the picture is cool.]
Hell on Earth
[#310]
[Note: This contains a mountain of crappy bands.
[Below: More Hell of Earth, this time via Manowar. Hoe I - IV? WTF?]

[Note: 'Hanged for a Blessed Masturbation'... Damn it, I was going to use that name in the future. Hehe...]

Jack the Ripper Comic Book
[#312]
[Note: As you can see, this is some very strange stuff... I received this from Mexico back in 1999, although it had a California return address. Well, now that I think about it, what's the difference? Mexicans are now the majority of the population there. Our largest state. Crazy. CRAZY.]
Urban Legends
[#313]
[Note: Do people actually believe these stupid urban legends? Let's see, what other dumb urban legends have I heard... How about the one where someone flashed their car headlights at another driver, whose lights were off (it's night time), and the occupants of the car without their headlights on shot the other car. Turns out it was full of gang members who were about to do a drive-by. So stupid... so people were afraid to flash their lights for a while. Let's see, what else have I heard... oh, how about the one where thousands of priests go around molesting children and the Vatican knows about it and hides it? And even after hundreds of them are caught people are so stupid they still go to church in droves. Oops, guess that one is true!]
Gosnell's license to practice was suspended on February 22, 2010, with the following, amongst others, presented to a Grand Jury on May 4, 2010. Reports stated
'that furniture and blankets were stained with blood, freely roaming cats deposited their feces wherever they pleased, and that non-sterilized equipment was used and reused on patients. According to the grand jury report, patients were given labor-inducing drugs by staff who had no medical training. Once labor began, the patient would be placed on a toilet. After the fetus fell into the toilet, it would be fished out, so as not to clog the plumbing. In the recovery room, patients were seated on dirty recliners covered in blood-stained blankets. Prosecutors alleged that Gosnell had not been certified in either gynecology or obstetrics. The Grand Jury estimated that Gosnell's practice "took in $10,000 to $15,000 a night" additional to income from his exceedingly high level of prescriptions.'
The media reported that there were:
And lastly:
Gosnell, 72, faces seven counts of first-degree murder for allegedly killing babies who were born alive, and one count of third-degree murder for the death of Karnamaya Monger, a 41-year-old patient who died at the clinic in 2009.
The prosecution believes that the feet and hands were taken as trophies by Gosnell, just as serial killers often engage in the practice of taking mementos from victims they kill," wrote Sullenger.
Johnson testified about the rat infested clinic and the basement that was filled with bags of babies' remains. He also described in detail the gory scene he witnessed on a weekly basis when the clinic's toilets would back up.
When Johnson opened the clean out drain on the outside of the building, tiny arms and other body parts gushed out. … Gosnell told him to clean it up. Johnson took a shovel and scooped up the human remains with a shovel into a plastic bag and put it in the freezer, Sullenger wrote about Johnson's testimony.
Children's vaccination scam
Lorraine Matikjiw, a quality assurance nurse for the Philadelphia Department of Public Health, testified on Tuesday that she twice reported Gosnell to her supervisor for fraudulently enrolling in a federally-funded children's vaccination program when he didn't provide health care to children.
Matikjiw testified that Gosnell claimed he was providing vaccinations for 19 to 20 children, but that Eileen O'Neill, who worked as a nurse for Gosnell with no license or certification, said he enrolled in the program so that his grandchild could receive vaccinations.
Her supervisor didn't act on the violation reports, and describing her two visits to the clinic, she testified that Gosnell wasn't available to meet with her and the charts she requested were not provided. She was, however, taken to the refrigerators "where she observed filthy conditions, the smell of cat urine, and a freezer where aborted-babies' remains were stored along with the vaccines, according to Sullenger.'

[Above: After reading the above, maybe this will put you in a better mood? A pregnant baby? Maybe we can abort it too???]
[Above: Still in a rotten mood? Then maybe you should shave the baby!!!]
Hixi
[#314]
[Note: Here was a cool black metal band from Italy. We interviewed them long ago...]
I think this is from the kid's friend from the last letter. At least this guy is neat, using white-out and all. Once. Hehe... Very strange that after five scribbled out words he finally, on his sixth, uses white-out. Where do these people come from?!]
Dio and Holy Diver live and an Iron Maiden Number of the Beast feature barely save this DVD from the trash can.
Ronnie James Dio even tells a story of when he saw a UFO...]
In October 1972 this murdering psycho declared: "as a physician, I am very concerned about the sanctity of life. But it is for this precise reason that I provide abortions for women who want and need them"
HUH?
Warning: the following is disgusting and highly disturbing.
'Extreme unsanitary conditions (resulting in cases of STDs and sepsis); pervasive non-sterile conditions; blood stained materials and instruments; contamination of the facilities by animal feces, urine, and other noxious fluids and waste; and months-old fetal remains stored in "jars, bags and jugs" (in 2013 the trial heard that Gosnell had also been in dispute with his medical waste company, with the latter stopping their services);
Surgical malpractice including perforation of bodily organs and "on at least two occasions" death;'
'...Kermit Gosnell's murder trial, jurors learned about severed hands and feet Gosnell kept in jars of formaldehyde, clogged toilets filled with aborted babies' arms and legs, and a federally-funded children's vaccination program Gosnell scammed to obtain vaccines for his grandchild.
