KANEKO’S CRIB NOTES LX: KISS FROM A NIGHT ROSEThat dark and unsettling time of year is once again upon us. With a flash of lightning and a peal of thunder, Kaneko’s Crib Notes once again rises from its grave! Kaneko himself, though: still dead. Blame the moe boom. Anyway, you’ll be SHOCKED to the marrow as you discover what we have in store for you this season. Five CHILLING selections so brazen, so unexpected that you’ll wish this blog was active more than once a year. So before more CLICHES of TERROR give you the cold sweats, do have a good and HAPPY HALLOWEEN this year. We mean it. LILITH: From the 1990 film Night Angel. Submitted by @cryomancer199x. SMT1’s Lilith is a composite of various elements of Night Angel’s Lilith: three fingers, stripes of scaly skin (makeup in the movie’s context), rings and jewelry, long, dark hair, and of course the classic snake. For more, check this gallery. ALRAUNE: From the 1973 Japanese book World Yokai Picture Book. We don’t know of an earlier appearance of Japan’s now-ubiquitous “naked girl emerging from a large flower” Alraune interpretation, so it’s likely this illustration influenced SMT’s, Castlevania’s, and the slew of horny mobile games to follow. JUEYUAN: From Gene Simmons’ “The Demon” Kiss character makeup. Kaneko gave this Chinese monkey and kidnapper of women a counterfeit of Simmons’ iconic makeup. Jueyuan also has a penis-shaped tail, so it’s likely an intentional pairing with the frontman’s licentious escapades. APSU: The arms are from a type of clay Astarte (less likely Asherah) figurine. Submitted by @doctorchevlong. Why the Mesopotamian fresh water deity has Canaanite Astarte arms, we couldn’t tell you. Just don’t let it ruin your day. MAGATAMA: From Alien Metallinome of Captain Ultra. Submitted by anonymous. The Magatama’s open configuration looks a lot like this thing’s head. Rest assured, we here at KCN care deeply about tokusatsu matters. We’re now up to 120+ unique cribs! Thank you for reading this. Garbage. -- source link
