Toxic Avenger Sighting!
Sunday, March 22nd, 2009That’s right, the Toxic Avenger does exist! He has been spotted over at PopThatZit.com
Many thought he had gone back into hiding. Little did they know he’s still fighting crime with giant, never-ending head cysts.
Warning: very gross
Martin Brodeur notches 552nd win
Wednesday, March 18th, 2009“Martin Brodeur stands alone. Brodeur, the New Jersey Devils’ goaltender, now holds the most career victories in NHL history, 552, surpassing Hall of Famer Patrick Roy’s record with a victory over the Chicago Blackhawks at Prudential Center.”
Congratulations to Martin Brodeur on registering his 552nd win.
Happy Friday the 13th….
Friday, March 13th, 2009….again. That’s right, this is our second Friday the 13th this year. We also have another one slated for the second week of November. There’s no stopping them!
Anyway, there is also another horror remake opening (surpise, surpise). Opening tonight is the remake of the Wes Craven classic The Last House on the Left. The trailer actually looks like it might be good. But I can’t stop laughing when I see the guy with his head in the microwave. I just find that hysterical, cooking his brain like that. They must have rigged the door to stay open while it’s frying his cerebrum. Major radiation leakage there.
But that got me thinking about microwaves and so I did a little research and found some random facts. In 1947 the Radarange was built. This was the world’s first microwave. It was 6 feet tall, weighed 750 pounds and cost about $5,000 each!
But that got me thinking even more. Microwave Massacre’s artwork is so much cooler than the movie itself!
Horror Stickers Part 3
Thursday, March 5th, 2009Hey there pack rats! Here is the 3rd and final installment of the coolest horror stickers ever made!
Unfortunately I only have a handfull of these bad boys, but it’d be awesome to have the entire set. I’m really curious to know how many stickers were produced and what movies were made. If they made something as random as Night of the Demons, then you know they made The Thing, Dawn of the Dead and maybe even Fright Night!
But after reading some comments, it sounds like many of you remember these stickers from your adolescence. Does anyone else have these laying around? If so, send me some scans and I’ll post them. If anyone has a Fright Night sticker, I’ll pay you cash for it. In the meantime, we can only enjoy what I’ve posted.
This week we have a comical Child’s Play sticker in addition to a couple of classic Freddy pictures. The image for An American Werewolf in London is an odd choice. I can think of some other well known screen shots they could have chosen. But it’s still cool, nevertheless. And why it says Kurt Russell and not Snake Plissken is beyond me. This is a question that will plague humanity for years to come, similar to the creation of the universe.
