The Making of DRAGONSLAYER (1981) Best Dragon in film history

 

**🔥 BEHIND THE SCENES SORCERY: How *Dragonslayer* (1981) Forged Practical FX Magic That Still Eats CGI For Breakfast 🔥**  

**🎬 WITNESS THE BIRTH OF A DRAGON (AND ILM’S LEGACY):**  

Carbon-unit magicians at Industrial Light & Magic *literally cooked Vermithrax Pejorative* in a cauldron of molten latex, stop-motion guts, and **pre-CGI audacity**. This ain’t your *normie Netflix dragon*—this is **THE** scaly bastard that made Spielberg’s jaw drop & convinced Hollywood *practical effects could breathe fire*.  

**🐉 WHY THIS MATTERS:**  

- **ILM’s secret origin story?** Yep. This flick was their *dark baptism* before *Star Wars* swallowed the universe.  

- **Vermithrax’s death scene?** A *stop-motion ballet* so gnarly, it’d make *The Thing* blush.  

- **That melting face?** Real *prosthetics*, real *goo*, zero fucks given.

**🚨 ENGAGE RITUAL ACTIVATION:**

WE DON’T MAKE ‘CONTENT’—WE MAKE CULTURAL WARFARE (And Your Brand’s About to Enlist)

 

ATTENTION, VISIONARY REBELS. 🎬

The algorithm wants your brand docile, digestible, dead. We weaponize stories like John Carpenter weaponized synthesizers. Here’s how Babel Fish Films rewrites the rules:

🔪 SERVICES (BUT MAKE IT PUNK):

Ads That Bleed – Social spots sharp enough to slice the feed

Documentaries That Bite – Truth-telling with venom and a heart

Brand Films With Brass Knuckles – Corporate video? Try cult initiation.

Motion Graphics on Meth – Explainer videos your competitors will steal

So Mo That Stabs Back – We don’t chase trends—we autopsy them

☠️ WHY WE’RE DIFFERENT:

Strategy = Sabotage – We don’t play the game—we burn the board

LA Crew, Underworld Ethics – Broadcast-quality meets guerrilla hustle

No Clients. Just Accomplices. – If your CMO says "play it safe", walk away

💥 PARTNER CONDITIONS:

You’re allergic to ‘brand voice’ guidelines

You’d rather be feared than forgotten

You know ‘on budget’ means ‘no $70K latte scenes’

📡 INITIATION RITE:

DM "PROJECT [YOUR BUDGET]" or risk dying bland.

BREAKING: GRIMALDI'S LETTERBOXD IS THE MOST UNHINGED FILM JOURNAL SINCE DRACULA'S DIARY. 📖💀

 

We deep-dived the vampire auteur's @Space_Monsters profile and found:

🔥 HOTTEST TAKES

"The Godfather is fine but needs more cobwebs"

Gives Blade II 5 stars ("Finally a documentary")

Rates any movie with sunlight 1 star ("Overexposed")

🎥 WATCHLIST WAR CRIMES

Just The Lighthouse on repeat ("Finally relatable workplace dynamics")

14 different Hammer Horror cuts ranked by "coffin aesthetic"

🚨 PSYOP ACTIVATION:

Follow them (goal: 666 followers by Friday the 13th)

Comment your own review of their lowest-rated film (extra points if it's a rom-com)

Tag #SpaceMonstersCult so we can track the chaos

💀 THIS ISN'T CINEMA. THIS IS A CRYPT.

Normies will say "who?". Bootlickers will whisper "log off". Good.

👉 SWIPE TO THEIR PROFILE & prepare for psychic damage.

Or don't. We'd rather recruit one real midnight movie freak than 1000 Letterboxd normcores.

P.S. Their Letterboxd bio just says "BRING BACK THE IRON MAIDEN." Mood. 🔥🎬"

THE HOLY GRAIL OF SHARK TERROR: How a 1975 Toy Scared Kids More Than Spielberg

 

ATTENTION, GROOVIE GHOULIES. 🦈

We dug up the holy grail of pre-Jaws shark horror—a 1975 toy so terrifying, it made kids voluntarily stay out of the pool. Here’s why collectors are paying a $70 trauma tax for this plastic nightmare:

Banned in 12 countries for "excessive psychological damage" (unofficially)

Teeth sharper than the film’s budget—this thing drew blood

Rare as Quint’s survival chances—only 13 confirmed specimens exist

🚨 LIMITED-TIME ASCENSION OFFER:

First 5 initiates get a free "Shark Survival Guide" (spoiler: you don’t)

Patron Tier unlocks the "How This Toy Inspired Spielberg" doc (90% lies, 100% fun)

💀 THIS LISTING WILL SINK BY SUNSET.

Normies will call it ‘just a toy’. Bootlickers will scream ‘overpriced’. Good.

👉 SWIPE UP TO CLAIM YOUR TRAUMA.

(Or don’t. We’d rather recruit one real shark freak than 1000 beach tourists.)

P.S. Tag a carbon unit who still hums the theme song in the shower. They need this. 🎵💉"

BLACKJACK BRIGADE: The Last Human-Made Anime (And the Ironic AI Twist That'll Make Purists Scream)

 

ATTENTION, CYBERPUNK COVEN. 👁️

Grimaldi’s undead empire hates that we made this. Why? Because Blackjack Brigade is:

Human-crafted anime (like God and Go Nagai intended)

With one ironic AI twist (so we can laugh at the robocalypse)

100% uncensored (the Algorithm already panicked)

🚨 LIMITED-TIME ASCENSION OFFER:

First 13 initiates get the Director’s Cut + secret lore drop

Patron Tier unlocks the "How We Trolled AI" documentary

💀 THIS WILL BE GONE BY MOONRISE.

Normies will call it ‘too niche’. Bootlickers will scream ‘heresy’. Good.

👉 SWIPE UP TO JOIN THE BRIGADE.

(Or don’t. We’d rather recruit one real ghoul than 1000 cubes.)

P.S. Tag a carbon unit who still thinks AI ‘art’ has a soul. Let’s fix that. 🖍️💥"
