We are always looking for some well articulated, opioniated individuals to write stuff for free. Keen?
Sunday, October 16, 2011 at 10:03PM So, we thought it might be a good idea to hold a seance.
We didn’t really believe in it and it was just a piece of paper stuck to some cardboard I found in my house. The letters on the page had been printed by a socialist’s printer and Karl Marx says “religion is the opiate of the masses”. It couldn’t have been anymore spiritually neutered if Richard Dawkins had run this baby off.
Sunday, October 16, 2011 at 10:01PM Nexus got to talk with Gina Varela, who plays the demonic entity causing havoc in the New Zealand made horror film, The Devil’s Rock. Born in Wellington and raised in Greece, Gina has played parts in New Zealand films and TV for the past 10 years, including the role of Donna in The Market, a South Auckland take on Romeo and Juliet. Now she’s back, this time on the big screen and this time playing the ultimate in sexy evil.
What scares you?
All kinds of things. Dolls, sharks and coming home alone to a dark, empty house with images of a scary movie playing in my mind. I sometimes get so frightened that I’m scared stiff! Completely self inflicted but very real at the same time.
Sunday, October 16, 2011 at 09:58PM 10. Surrey cat
From the 1960s on, a mysterious black cat resembling a puma has been seen in and around south western Surrey in England. In 1963 a sighting by a policeman sparked further interest in the subject and one year later an ox was found mutilated by a large creature. Over 300 reports of the black cat were received by the police in one year alone. Speculation and interest dwindled again until another policeman caught the cat on film in the same year as a massive paw print was discovered.

Sunday, October 16, 2011 at 09:57PM With Eliza, Queen of Bees
If you were in the Hood St fan zone a couple of weeks back (and you probably were, because everyone was), drinking beer and yelling patriotic things whilst the All Blacks lay the smackdown on Japan, you probably, at some point, ran into the Roller Ghouls. The Hellmilton City Roller Ghouls. They probably gave you a flier about their upcoming home bout and, if you got one of those fliers, you probably should have gone. Because it was totally bad-ass.
Sunday, October 16, 2011 at 09:57PM Sam Featherbelly, guitarist for Dick Dynamite and the Doppelgangers, Hamilton’s premier psychobilly 3-piece, spoke to Eliza Jackson about horror and music!
Who are the Doppelgangers?
It’s Dick Dynamite, he plays double bass and sings and he writes quite a lot of the songs; I play guitar and yell sometimes, and then Chubby Chip, aka Chris, plays the drums. We play psychobilly music which is kind of a cross of rockabilly and horror themes.

I'm Blair Munro, and I know first-hand how important it is to have people to represent your interests as a student. From advocacy and a voice, to Nexus and sausage sizzles, I believe that the student union is a vital part of both the student culture and the education that you're at university to receive (even if you're just trying to get your parents off your back), and I want to do my best to make sure that the student union does its best for you. You should vote for someone who is approachable, someone who is going to fight for your rights, and someone who knows the value of the student union. You should vote for Blair Munro for WSU President.
Sunday, October 16, 2011 at 08:33PM “I’ll only be five minutes, the car will be fine here.” It wasn’t. In less than five minutes a tow truck had arrived and began connecting my car.
I ran out to my car, and as I argued with the tow truck driver I considered the questionable legality of car clamping and towing in New Zealand. The car was my property, what right did a private company have to hold my vehicle to ransom? How was towing really that different to car theft? I didn’t have anything to go on, other than it just didn’t seem right that this guy could demand $170 from me to release my car, when he hadn’t even moved it and I was right there, ready and willing to move it myself.

Everyone enjoys a conspiracy theory.
Dan Brown and Matthew Reilly have cashed in on this in a big way and we have gladly followed them to the depths of human paranoia.
Now, some of the things we’re covering here aren’t actually conspiracy theories. Cryptids, such as Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster, aren’t conspiracies, they’re more like mysteries that could be solved by Scooby Doo and his stoner pals.
A cryptid is any animal which has a large number of sightings, but no solid evidence of its existence. Examples of cryptids include Sasquatch, the Loch Ness monster and the Big Black Cat of Canterbury.
This is a fun piece and if you’re going to get all up in arms and start screaming at us because we published some theories about America attacking itself, then you can go screw yourself. It’s just some theories.
Thursday, October 13, 2011 at 08:36PM Here is another tired feature from another tired writer.
We all do drugs. Perhaps a better name for this feature is “addictions”, but drugs caught your attention. Don’t say it didn’t, because it did. You want to read an interview with someone tripping balls on acid, or photos of people with syringes hanging out of their arms. We have no interest in writing a feature about something you can see in movies, on television and in books. We are not going to presume that any of you are about to try intravenous heroin for the first time and it is our mission to convince you of the dangers. Want to try heroin? Sure, we can’t stop you, but we think you should probably watch Requiem for a Dream first. Want to take some LSD? Cool story bro, but we aren’t interested in you.
