THE STATION: Creature Designs, Part II

Just a few more of TOMAK's design sketches for the creatures of The Station. Usually, we'd include captions, but they're just too nice for any rascalry. (See Part I here).

THE STATION: Creature Designs, Part I

THE STATION director Marvin Kren kindly passed along these gorgeous creature designs by TOMAK.

 We offer them without captions, because they're just do damn gorgeous for any shenanigans from us.

You can see more of TOMAK's work here.  See Part II here.

OCULUS: Cover Your Mirrors!

Ian Goring: "Was I the only one?"

MM Photographer Ian Goring went home and covered his mirror right after the premiere of Oculus. I doubt he was the only one.  You still have time before the screenings tomorrow and Sunday. It really is best to be proactive in this matters. So: Cover your mirrors!

Also, since we really don't know what is going to happen in The Afflicted tonight here are some basic proactive measures to take:

Do not touch unidentifiable goo!  (Do I even need to tell you not to eat it?)

Even the poster tells you not to!

Stay away from "Blood Glaciers!"

See that? Stay away!

Do not experiment on apparently dead alien creatures you discover--and if your boss makes you and you really think its necessary, wear protective clothing and keep the critter contained. You don't want that in you.

This antarctic giant isopod stands for all things that could get in you.

Do not annoy old women, and if you do, immediately apologize.

"I aplogize for my thoughtless and cruel remark about your dentures."

And most of all: Stay away from dead ladies wherever you find them--naked on gurneys, naked in space ships, in decaying forest mansions wearing fashions from 300 years ago.

This here? This is really bad waiting to happen.

This is not a drill.

THE STATION, aka, Blutgletscher World Premiere Interviews

Robert Mitchell recently visited THE STATION in remote Austria. He can speak very little of what he saw there but was thankful he made it out alive. He did bring back this footage with the film's director and actress aka a son and his proud mom.

What Are People Saying About THE STATION?

Marvin Kren's tale of mutants brought the Midnight Madness social media army out in force last night. Let's see what the always-raucous audience had to say about this grim reminder to always sort your recycling!

Not to worry, this isn't some Meryl Streep gala - no dress code here!

You can also check out Brigitte Kren's entrance on Vine here, courtesy of Alex Davies (@alexbdavies)!

 And, of course, the comment of the day, a poignant theory about a potential sequel?

 
 Keep tweeting your thoughts about the films and Instagram photos to the official Twitter account and you might see them in this space!

THE STATION - Pics From The World Premiere Red Carpet & Q&A!

It seems the Midnight Madness programme can't go one full year without being infested with creepy crawlies, and director Marvin Kren's The Station was the one to bring them back! The first Austrian film to grace Midnight Madness demonstrated the danger of climate change via horrifying mutants and puppy-babies, and Ian Goring was there to capture all the freaky fun.

The great folks behind The Station, or as we prefer to call it, BLOOD GLACIER!

Robert Mitchell interviews Brigitte Kren

Mother and son share a tender moment before scaring the pants off the Ryerson audience with a movie about horrible mutations.

In a Midnight Madness first, director Marvin Kren calls his mother on stage...

...who promptly does the splits!

Writer Benjamin Hessler talks about the idea for weird animal hybrid mutants

Colin asks director Marvin Kren about weird animal hybrid mutants.

"Stop crying while eating a banana"

Always nice to see a director that's so grateful to have his film in the programme.

Don't forget to check back tomorrow for pics and video from what will definitely be a blockbuster premiere of Eli Roth's The Green Inferno!
