See, Sweden was a very different place back then - we had only 2 TV channels which were both state owned so there was very little influence from the outside world - especially in a pretty low income housing that Blackeberg is. IT's working class people and they don't fly across the Atlantic to pick up on teenage fashion. I would have been the same age as Oskar about that time too

I've tried with some, people with addict history (own or family's) are amazed and want to move here.... others, not so much
When you get here you won't need a proper "Apoteket" to get meds and stuff, it's getting let free July 1st.

Teacher said:

wow! CHANGE!!!!

ZombieKitten said:

I know...

You know, after having read the book I went out to Blackeberg just to wander the sites... it was eerie.

His next is called "Människohamn" and I guess it'd be "Human Form". It's about zombies roaming the Old Town! I will take you there at night and have Manki hide and scurr you.

Teacher said:

omg!!!!
I might have to go and have a look at Blackeberg too! My mum was very familiar with it - she said when she was reading the book, she knew exactly where they were talking about.

Teacher said:

I must have the book now.

ZombieKitten said:

Me either. People in my family are sick of me.

This has turned into a Let The Right One In thread part 2. Very cool.

violator said:

I haven't heard anything about a remake of it, but he did recently release Mother Of Tears, which is somewhat of a sequel to it.

two more I thought of


Horror planet
Galaxy of terror

Yes you do.

Teacher said:

my local library has it!

ZombieKitten said:

How does that help Noimageatall?

But that's amazing actually, it's been so long since a modern Swedish writer has had that big an impact on the English speaking world.

Teacher said:

no help, except it might be worth looking in the library it might surprise you!
I found a whole shelf of Henning Mankell as well

ZombieKitten said:

Or you could steal it and mail it to me.







I'll look at the library. But I love books. I have about 350 at home right now. I like to "own" them.

I'm going to see this tonight - expectations are elevated.

What did you think?

ZombieKitten said:

Mankell was ok - the first few books about Wallander. Now it's bo-RING. I read something by him that wasn't one of those and it was all messed up, like he was high when he wrote it. He makes loads of money though I guess.

It always creeps me out. No matter how many times, I've seen it. I recently saw 'Amityville II' and it was much better than I thought it would be. I also love 'Evil Dead 2'.

sextonseven said:

Loved it more than I can recall loving a movie in a long, long time.

damosuzuki said:

Damn, this is the film I was gonna post This film scared me to the point that I made my bf stay in bed until I fell asleep...(He wanted to play Warcraft in the living room)

The ending was kinda lame, but I still thought it was creepy.

Smooches;)

I grew up watching those, as Miguel likes to put it, "so bad they're good" 80's B /troma movies that USA Up AllNight used to show. I miss that show.....it was the highlight of my weekend as a kid. The most recent good B one was Trailer Park of Terror. A throwback to the 80's ones. The most recent goriest one was "Inside" (À l'intérieur)....about a psychotic woman stalking another woman and trying to literally cut her baby out of her womb. Eww She was pretty brutal. Worth a checking out or torrent download.

Okay.....too strange.....someone mentioned INSIDE this weekend at SUPERSPACEBOY's POTLUCK. I've been looking for it. Maybe I need to search A l'interiur.
