fatality666’s journal

This blog is no longer available on Myspace as it was removed from the cache due to it being the blog of the Kimveer Gill, the Dawson College shooter. Gill was heavily into the goth subculture and social networking sites. He kept a meticulous blog of his disturbed thinking on Myspace and Vampire Freaks.com, dwelling on death, darkness and pain. On Vampire Freaks.com, Gill utilized primitive animations of the gothic shock-rock singer, Marilyn Manson in a small box that consisted of three or four separate black and white clips played in quick succession to give the impression of movement. The black and white photographic clips and their jagged, edgy movement contribute to the dark, moody and post-modern feel of the blog. They are reminiscent of Max Shreck’s performance in the 1920’s horror feature, ‘Nosferatu’.. Gill uses blog journal features on Vampire Freaks.com to telegraph his disturbed thoughts and moods: under Mood he lists “Crazy” and other non-physical states such as the music he is listening to (‘80s heavy metal band that makes use of dark, disturbed music, “Megadeth”).

Gill’s blog is now only memorialized as a screenshot on Darren Barefoot’s personal blog.
