TNT Bringing Back ‘Tales From The Crypt’ in New Horror Block With M. Night Shyamalan.

8:06:00 PM
I was sooooo very happy to hear that TNT is bringing back Tales From The Crypt With M. Night Shyamalan...


Tales From The Crypt originally aired on HBO in June 1989 and is based on the EC Comics series of the same name. I used to watch the show all the time though I must confess, sometimes it was a bit too scary for me back in the day when I watched it in the 90s (I was a young little lad)

One of the things I always enjoyed was the Crypt Keeper. He was always so twisted and had a comedic haunting personality.... kind of reminds me of my immense love for Freddy Krueger. You can imagine my complete disappointment when I read the rumors that are circulating about the Crypt Keeper not bring brought back for the reboot! 



I read on Slash Film HERE that "the show will feature an old man with a cane, wearing a hood, and keeping warm by a fireplace. That might sounds dumb to fans of the original TV series, but anyone who fell in love with the original Tales from the Crypt comics knows that description as the original Crypt Keeper, as seen here:"


As you can see, The Crypt Keeper from the comics above matches the description of the one TNT might create a bit. 

Recently M.Night Shyamalan confirmed the rumors by tweeting this: 


I like M. Night Shyamalan's work and believe he can make a scary, horrific and entertaining Crypt Keeper. I must confess though, I'm really bummed it won't be our buddy the Crypt Keeper from HBO voiced by John Kassir. 





I've decided to keep a positive attitude about this situation because I'm still thrilled they're brining the show back and I have faith in M. Night Shyamalan. What do you guys think?

Netflix Favorites For April 2015.

11:29:00 PM
Because everyone needs a movie night...


I was roaming Netflix the other day and bumped into some pretty awesome movies that brought back great memories... you know, the kind of film you just always remember. 

Anyway I thought I'd make a short list of some recommendations I had for this month just in case you haven't watched them already. 


1) The Devil's Rejects - House of 1,000 Corpse to be continued... and then you have THIS. I'm actually a fan of most Rob Zombie Films (some are even too intense for me). If sick, twisted and dark horror is something you're into, than this is for you! Plus who doesn't love lil ol' Sheri Moon Zombie as 'Baby'? "Chinese, Japanese, dirty knees, look at these!"


 2) Bebe's Kids- When I was younger I watched this movie time after time after time. Robin Falls in love with Jamika but he was to deal with her crazy ass 4 kids. It's a really cute classic. You have to watch this movie at least once in your life. Bebe's kids don't die, they multiply!


 3)Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood- Hahaha this movie is just too much. I believe this was the Waynes Brothers first parody movie. If you have even one ounce of 'Hood' in you, street smarts, or just enjoy a urban comedy that makes fun of gangs and racial statistics, than this is for you. "Recruiter: Well, I see your hobbies include "drinkin', smokin' weed, and all types of ill shit."


 4)Natural Born Killers- Ummm can you say relationship goals? One of my favorites from Quentin Tarantino. But really, Mickey and Mallory Knox are crazy twisted in love and take on the road and a life of crime. This movie is magic. "You know the only thing that kills the demon... is love". 


5)Cujo- Don't let the Netflix rating fool you. This is a cult classic based on a Stephen King novel. Imagine your cute lil doggy, you know, mans best friend and all going bat-shit crazy? I never thought I could be scared of a dog. "Terror has a new name".


 6)Pulp Fiction- Another work of art by Quentin Tarantino. Also, the movie that first got me to love Uma Thurman. It's like a game of connect the dots all the way through. "And you will know I AM THE LORD when I lay my vengeance upon you" 


 7) Cool World- Even though I still like Who Framed Roger Rabbit more... Cool World is still a must see just because. Reasons I can't explain... you just have to watch it once in your lifetime. It's Brad Pitt and cartoons, what do you have to lose. Plus Holli Would voiced by Kim Basinger is a total fox. Sneaky and hot. 

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this short list and find something you'll enjoy in it. Toodles!

Joe Simko's 'Cereal Killers' Card Sheet Winner!

10:37:00 PM
This is SO AWESOME!


Remember when I went to the Las Vegas Super Toy Con a few weeks back? Well, I entered a giveaway for a Joe Simko's 'Cereal Killers' Series 1 uncut card sheet and won! I was so very excited because I'm one of those people who really never win anything. Series 1 is sold out, so other than getting it on ebay, this was the only way to get my hands on one. 

I love these cards because they're so much fun and they're for people like me, obsessed with pop culture. Joe Simko takes classic cereal boxes, classic serial killers, cereal box characters, classic movie characters and creates the best pictures and titles for the images of the boxes. Some of my favorite titles are "Clockwork Porridge", "Children Of The Corn Flakes", "Fiber The 13th", "Chucky Harms" and much more. 

In the photos below, you're going to see the leading men of some of your favorite horror films. My favorite cards are the ones channeling classic films like 'A Clockwork Orange', 'Halloween/Michael Myers', 'Chucky', 'Friday The 13th', 'Terminator', and more. 

Thanks so much to the people over at Wax Eye, make sure to check them out on Facebook HERE. Shout out to the Las Vegas Super Toy Con too! Fun times. You can check them out on Facebook HERE

Mortal Kombat X: Jason Voorhees Reveal.

12:58:00 PM
Who Doesn't Love A Horror Classic?



I used to love fighting video games... I still do really. I don't have much time to play them anymore because of moving around and not having the game console at the moment. However, I still get really excited when I see things like THIS.

I think perhaps if I were to name my top 3 killers from classic horror movies that used to scare the shit out of me when I was a little girl it would be in the order of...

1)Freddy Krueger 
2)Michael Myers
3)Jason Voorhees

3 isn't a terrible place to be... it's like bronze right? Anyway, to be frank... 2 and 3 are pretty much 50/50. I think Michael Myers got bumped up about one percent because I really enjoyed the first Rob Zombie remake for 'Halloween' (2007)... the second one... ehhhhh...(Love you Rob!).

My friend Dane knows about my love for these killers and shared this Mortal Kombat X: Jason Voorhees Reveal on my Facebook wall. Looks pretty sick right? Get ready to see bodies drop at Camp Crystal Lake. Video game x Horror Movie fans rejoice! I can tell this is going to be a goodie.

Friday Horror: Sleepaway Camp.

1:36:00 PM
What The F*ck Did I Just Watch?



I just saw the horror movie Sleepaway Camp (1983) for the first time ever last night directed by Robert Hiltzik. First off, I don't want to give away too much about the movie... but the ending/last scene is EVERYTHING. It makes the whole movie worth it and it's makes you re-think the whole movie in a matter of seconds. 

At first I thought, this is just another one of your slasher camp movies from the 80s probably trying to bite off the whole 'Friday The 13th' vibe. Seems like making horror movies in the 80s was a quick way to make a buck, but this is just... different? 


Felissa Rose gave an excellent performance as Angela... but the whole movie was fucking bizarre (I just can't seem to stop saying it). Seriously, I really mean bizarre.  You're either going to love it or hate it. To make a long story short... Camp Arawak is a place you don't want to be. Before I keep ranting, let me give you a brief summary via IMDB. 

"Slightly traumatized and painfully shy Angela Baker is sent away to summer camp with her cousin. Not long after Angela's arrival, things start to go horribly wrong for anyone with sinister or less than honorable intentions."

You may think this movie sounds utterly predictable but it's not, I promise. It's an 80s horror flick with a massive twist unlike any I've seen. 

Funny how horror movies in the 80s have similar qualities right? Massive cursing from teenagers, story lines about sexual repression/sexual molestation and harasment, being picked on and being the outsider, terrible parent or family members who fuck up your whole brain and make you want to wreak havoc, the worst camp counselors in the world... This were all qualities seen time after time in horror movies in the 80's... You don't really see them displayed the same way in movies now-a-days... 





I think everyone should see this movie 100%. Even if you hate it, it's a life experience. That last scene is definitely the pay off, but you have to sit through the whole thing to feel rewarded. The last scene is so horrific, so way out of left field that you never see it coming. 

It's some scary shit, you can watch the movie in it's entirety on YouTube HERE


After you've seen this movie and have taken a moment to reflect on the madness, you can check out this rad podcast with Paul Scheer, June Diane Raphael, Jason Mantzoukas "Sleepaway Camp - How did this get made?". They literally tear the movie apart and do a very in depth analysis.

Enjoy kids, Let me know how it goes.

Mezco Toyz at Toy Fair 2015.

12:25:00 AM
 Taking A Stroll Through Mezco Toyz... 




Seeing awesome figures from two of my favorite shows next to each other seems like a sweet way to start this post. Here we have Breaking Bad and a little peek of Sons Of Anarchy.


The boyz over at Mezco Toyz are also hoping to release Tygra in October of this year! Thundercat fans rejoice! It's what you've all been waiting for. 


 Isn't he a beaut?


What's Up Doc? How rad is this Bugs Bunny? Many people had heard about a Mezco Toyz deal with Warner Bros and now you have a sneak peek. 


This Annabelle figure is creepy as hell... nice detail and all... moving on. 



This was one of my favorites. I love a good classic and this Chucky doll is giving me life. The yellow box gives me nostalgia over the actual "Good Guy" doll box seen in the horror films. 


All hail Chucky! and Charles Lee Ray too. 


Living Dead Dolls are all about Creature from the Black Lagoon. You can pre-order this bad boy HERE.  


Another very sweet treat is that Mezco presented The Living Dead Dolls Series 29: The Nameless Ones. The kind of dolls that will haunt your dreams and come to life on your shelves just how we like them! These dolls will be available May 2015 and are definitely on the wish list.  You can pre-order HERE.


If you had to pick just one of the figures above, which would it be?

New Trailer For Horror Movie 'Crimson Peak'.

12:21:00 PM
OH.MY.GOD. 

I don't know what to be more excited about... The 'Crimson Peak' trailer looks sick! My inner movie critic soul awakens in excitement to see a new film by Guillermo del Toro and my inner geek/smitten girl awakens to see both Tom Hiddleston (which I loved in Thor) and Charlie Hunnam (which I loved in Undeclared and don't get me started on Sons of Anarchy) sharing the big screen. The cast is absolutely kick ass with ladies Jessica Chastain and Mia Wasikowska as well.

'Ghost Are Real'. Gothic vibes, haunted mansion, spirits, victorian fashion/attire, hot men in top hats, corsets & leather... yes, yes and YES.

Crimson Peak Plot: 

"In the aftermath of a family tragedy, an aspiring author is torn between love for her childhood friend and the temptation of a mysterious outsider. Trying to escape the ghosts of her past, she is swept away to a house that breathes, bleeds...and remembers."

Check out the trailer below... Absolutely looking forward to this movie. The trailer made my day and increased my excitement to see the film by 487487857908257283782 %




Peep the movie poster too. LOVE it.

Friday The 13th 2015!

10:47:00 PM
It's Friday The 13th Bwahahah... 

Every time I hear Friday The 13th, I can't help but think Jason Voorhees. I've always loved horror movies even since I was a young little Nubia and Friday The 13th was one of my top 5 favorites. To begin the celebration of this day considered both good and bad luck, here's some cool art from the Friday the 13th six-issue comic book miniseries (2006). The comic was written by Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray, illustrated by Adam Archer and Peter Guzman and published by WildStorm. All the cover art below is by the talented Ryan Sook.

2 Movies I'm Excited To See So Far In 2015.

3:35:00 PM
I've been really picky with my choices of movies I pay to see lately...

The theatre is so pricy these days. Besides the price, you usually always have some creep talking or obnoxiously laughing behind you, someone kicking your chair, a baby crying, or some bullshit going down. If I'm coughing up anywhere around 25-30 bucks a pop it better be worth it.

A lot of movies are so "Meh" now-a-days. All these either paranormal/horror movies (OMG the doll, it's alive!) or the Taken type of movies (seriously, who are they taking next Liam!?) or the I'm coming back from war movies (but WAIT there's one last attack I must overcome.) Can someone please tell me what's up with the space movies lately?! I saw Gravity and after sitting there for 91 minutes I wanted to pull my eyes out with my own bare hands just so I can stuff them in my ears ( I liked Interstellar way more, was intrigued by the time travel) maybe the space movies aren't for everyone...

Anyways, these are just my personal opinions based on what I like to see. Here are the trailers of 2 films I'm excited to see soon.

The Voices
Released February 6 2015



"Likeable Jerry (Ryan Reynolds) stumbles innocently into the role of a killer, guided along the way by his evil talking cat and benevolent talking dog."

This movie's unconventional and there's talking pets and human deceased heads! Ryan Reynolds also does the voice for both the dog and cat too which is pretty cool because I didn't know he had such range. The movie seems all sorts of kooky so I'm really excited about it.  A horror/comedy/thriller, love it!

Then we have CHAPPIE.
Released March 6 2015



"After being kidnapped by two criminals during birth, Chappie becomes the adopted son in a strange and dysfunctional family. Chappie is preternaturally gifted, one of a kind, a prodigy. He also happens to be a robot."

I like watching movies where robots aren't controlled by humans but have their own emotions and learn how to interact. Chappie seems like it has a pretty solid cast starring Hugh Jackman and Sigourney Weaver. I also has Yolandi Visser and Ninja from Die Antwoord (which I've seen live front row and are awesome) so that should make the film a little cooler too. Chappie himself seems like a fine...Chap?

Hope both these films rock! What are you excited to see soon?
