I am a horror aficionado residing in Chicago, working/attending film festivals, collaborating with my horror friends for various local horror sites and started the first local horror yahoo group a handful of years ago, Chicago Creepster, which is still doing well. I am also a horror blogger on CN. My lower spine was replaced in late ‘09, so this cyborg chose “Shattered Spine” for a good reason! My friends call me “Biomechanical Frankenlady.” Pleased to meet you. Film, horror, art, macabre, whimsy, creepy, weird or just plain odd things will grace this page. Enjoy.Tumblr (3.0; @kreepylady)http://kreepylady.tumblr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/93af23c8128ed8c4962394baa1c3ddfb/tumblr_mmp6vow1ih1qa4vpfo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://jemayer.tumblr.com/post/50274973513" target="_blank">jemayer</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Cervical vertebrae</p> </blockquote>http://kreepylady.tumblr.com/post/50298593166http://kreepylady.tumblr.com/post/50298593166Sun, 12 May 2013 19:31:01 -0400jemayervertebraeart<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/VTAYhO-qkZw?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p><em><strong>HARBINGER DOWN: A Practical Creature FX Film</strong></em> is a sci-fi/horror film that will celebrate practical effects, animatronics and makeup FX.
