I hope you’re not tired of the 3-D movies that Hollywood keeps rolling our way – because it isn’t going to stop any time soon. Word is that Ridley Scott plans to film the new Alien prequel in 3-D. Star Wars and Alien art-director Roger Christian has confirmed “Ridley’s doing the next Alien in 3D.” You can check out the rest of the article over at Shadowlocked.com.

this will scare you:

Conan O’Brien certainly has gotten the shaft. His show will now be moved to the 12:05 slot, to accommodate Jay Leno’s show at 11:35. It’s not surprising to see this typical stupidity from companies like NBC.
Anyway….Check this poster out! Based upon the famous Esquire cover of Muhammad Ali, we have Conan being barraged with arrows. At closer inspection, you can see that the feathers on the arrows are NBC logos. Very clever.

The 18×24 silkscreen print is hand-numbered by designer Jon Smith. You can buy one of these bad boys at Nakatomi.
Yippee-ki-yay, motherfu@cker.

Jay Leno is not funny.

Tired of hiding your prized possessions in those not so trustworthy banks? Can’t say I blame you. But you’re in luck! Up for auction is your very own human skull ballot box. Fitted with a hinged flap, the skull can be used to store all sorts of goodies…

“A rather intriguing lot will be up for auction at Christie’s later this month. An 1872 skull ballot box from Yale University’s mysterious Skull and Bones society will be sold as part of Christie’s New York’s Important American Furniture, Folk Art, Silver & Chinese Export sale on January 22. The skull has a hinge on top and is surrounded by charred-looking crossbones one inscribed with the word Thor.” check out the rest of the article here.

Never in a galaxy far far away did I ever think this would exist. That’s right, it’s the Tauntaun Sleeping Bag. Perfect for those late night sleepovers when you’ve been battling the Empire all day long. The sleeping bag includes a tauntaun head pillow and a stylish blue lightsaber zipper. Even the inside is an exact replica of the guts and innards of a freshly sliced tauntaun. And if you plan on sharing the sleeping bag with friends, make sure you don’t turn it into a dutch oven. Hop in your snowspeeder and fly over to ThinkGeek and pick one up.

So here we have it. Freddy is the last of the remakes from all the major 80’s horror icons. Yes, yes, I know I know….another remake. Will they ever stop with these? Doubtful.
Anyway, they’ve released a trailer for the “A Nightmare on Elm Street” remake. I like the first shots of the parents chasing down Freddy into the abandoned warehouse. I’m also digging the shots of Freddy’s silhoutte in the boiler room. But other than that, I’m not too impressed. The shot in the bathtub is identical to Craven’s original. Are we going to have another remake that carbon copies every scene? With Jackie Earle Haley there is some potential. But I’ll tell you one thing…I’m definitely not digging Freddy’s burnt face. He looks like a cross between Cronenberg’s mask from “Nightbreed” and a cute doll a child might have.

Apparently some taxidermist from Texas has found the mysterious Chupacabra….

“Jerry Ayer, owner of Blanco Taxidermy School, has possession of the mythical beast’s body. According to CNN, the animal was discovered by one of Ayer’s students. The student had “placed poison…to catch an unidentified animal that had gotten into a family member’s barn.” Little did the student know the animal in question was (maybe) the chupacabra.”

Now, I don’t know if this is legit or not. It basically looks like a really messed up hairless dog to me. But if it is real, scientists should take DNA from that thing and start cloning the hell out of it. Maybe I can have a pet Chupacabra by Christmas! It’d be great to have a couple “Chupas” race across my lawn scaring the piss out of my neighbors.

Here is a link to the video, Chupacabra Video.

Is anyone else as pumped as I am for this flick? Zombieland is slated for release on October 9 and I cannot wait! Woody Harrelson is the man and this movie looks insanely fun. Click here to see the Zombieland trailer and tell us what you think. Enjoy the poster art below.

After I had heard about  Jackson’s passing I was in complete shock. I mean, who saw this coming? I sure didn’t. I don’t normally listen to the radio, but on the way home from work today, I listened to every station for more info about Michael Jackson and his death. It was true, he had died earlier today. All the stations were playing his music and it was really weird listening to his music while knowing he had died. 

Sure MJ was a bit “wacko” and did some crazy ass things throughout his career. But I just have to point out that Thriller is hands down the greatest music video ever made. It’s a brilliant short horror film. I have the album on vinyl and I’ll be crankin’ it up all weekend long. 

“Pop star Michael Jackson was pronounced dead today after paramedics found him in a coma at his Bel-Air mansion, city and law enforcement sources told The Times. Los Angeles Fire Department Capt. Steve Ruda told The Times that paramedics responded to a 911 call from the home. When they arrived, Jackson was not breathing. The paramedics performed CPR and took him to UCLA Medical Center, Ruda said.” Read the rest of the article at the Los Angeles Times.

Well, we made it through another convention and it was a blast! This June, Fangoria’s Weekend of Horrors was held at the Jacob Javits Center in NYC and it did not disappoint. We met a ton of cool people and unloaded a healthy amount of horror t-shirts. The I Brake For Zombie stickers were also a hit. We showcased some brand new t-shirt designs and we received a lot of positive feedback from them. Those new designs will be on the Headstone City site soon, so sit tight. Thanks for the support and to all those who came out to visit us. We hope to see you again next year.

I’ve posted some pics below, enjoy!
