That Sigbin Photo that is Circulating the Internet

There's a "kinda fake, taken from a movie" photo of what's supposedly a Sigbin circulating in forums all throughout the Internet lately.

The one above isn't the photo, that's probably from some local movie or from at one of the many "Shake, Rattle and Roll" movies Mother Lily has produced.

Here's the photo that's been going around the Internet though.

Like I said, it spells faked/shopped/hoax so no need to call that out. A sigbin is described as:

"The Sigbin or Sigben is a creature in Philippine mythology said to come out at night to suck the blood of victims from their shadows. It is said to walk backwards with its head lowered between its hind legs, and to have the ability to become invisible to other creatures, especially humans. It resembles a hornless goat, but has very large ears which it can clap like a pair of hands and a long, flexible tail that can be used as a whip.[1] The Sigbin is said to emit a nauseating odor.

It is believed to issue forth from its lair during Holy Week, looking for children that it will kill for their hearts, which it fashions into amulets."

Sounds scary AND interesting. I just can't see how it could actually kill it's victim but I do not have any intention of finding out. Remember this guy from "Cabin in the Woods" and his fixation with the Merman?



This is truly a case for Alexandra Trese.

Rhian Ramos Wants Trese Movie Badly

Trese is hardcore. We all know that. The supernatural detective created by Budjette Tan and Kajo Baldisimo has been captivating readers of all ages for years now and the idea of having a movie featuring Alexandra Trese's supernatural adventures seems ripe. And now actress Rhian Ramos seems interested in getting the role.

Apparently the actress went online and shared her thoughts about the still untapped movie; which leads to series writer Uncle Budj (as I fondly call him) to share Ms. Ramos' thoughts to the rest of fandom.

So what do you think? Is it about time we kickstarted a Trese movie franchise? Seeing the quality of the horror stuff Filipino filmmakers come out with, I can say that we're ready. We just need to find a director who shares the same vision as the creators plus an amazing visual effects team and we're good. 

Casting wise, she'd (Ramos) be a good fit. 

Wonder whatever happened to that Trese fan film that was making buzz a few months ago (or was that a year ago)? 

TRESE 5 MIDNIGHT TRIBUNAL PREVIEW

I've been a fan of Trese fan for quite some time now and I've always recommended this book to my non-comic book reading friends. Luckily for us fans, Uncle Budj (Trese writer Budjette Tan) ain't a George R.R. Martin in terms of releasing new materials. Here's a look at TRESE 5 - Midnight Tribunal.

Sadly though we won't be able to read anything off of the previews as the ones that I got was of the unlettered variety. Still it's nice to look at the pretty pictures. Check out the preview after the cut.
