Hard to believe, but it's I-Mockery's 20th anniversary, and I wanted to share some thoughts with all of you about the occasion. Please click to continue reading: (more...)
Hello all. I know you haven't heard from me on here since June of last year, so I wanted to share an update with you:

Hello all. I haven't been here since November 2017.
I'm now ready to share my story, and I hope you'll take the time to read it.

Earlier this year, we developed a promotional mini-game for my buddy Ross from 8-Bit Zombie, and I'm happy to report that he just released the free download for it on his site so you can all get in on this retro radness:
[click to visit 8-Bit Zombie & get the game!]
The game is based on Thrashor, my favorite original character from the 8-Bit Zombie universe. Years ago, Ross produced a Masters of the Universe style action figure of Thrashor that I fell in love with, so when he asked me if I'd be up for doing a mini-game based on the character, I jumped right on it. Thrash Or Die is the result!
The game is a throwback to the classic NES beat-em-ups of yesteryear, where you play as Thrashor, fighting your way through some mean streets against other enemies from the 8-Bit Zombie universe like Noxious and Roadkill. At the end of the mini-game, there's a fun boss battle with more retro references, but rather than spoil it, I'll let you play it to find out.
Thrash Or Die is a FREE download, and it's available for both PC and Mac. Big thanks to Jacob and LumpyTouch for working on the project with me, and of course, thanks to Ross for having us do it in the first place. Who knows, maybe later on down the road we'll make a full-sized 8-Bit Zombie game!
And while you're on the 8-Bit Zombie web site, be sure to pick up a shirt, decorations, or any of the other killer pop culture items that he produces. I've known Ross for years, and he's pretty much supplied me with a good 90% of my wardrobe at this point. If you see me in a video or a photo wearing a cool shirt, it's almost guaranteed to have come from 8BZ. He works with awesome artists, so please show your support for a great independent company that's always supported all the work I do.
That's all for now. Lemme know what you think of Thrash Or Die once you've played it. Hope you enjoy the game!
Halloween has arrived once again, and I hope you all manage to find a way to celebrate the spookiest of seasons! Yeah, it's on a Tuesday, but there's still plenty o' fun to be had. You can wear a costume to a Halloween party, hand out candies, check out some Halloween haunts, watch a horror movie marathon, play a spooky video game (like Grave Chase!), or go trick-or-treating. Whatever the case may be, I hope you all do something to celebrate in style!
Thanks again to all of you who stuck around for I-Mockery's 2017 "Two Months of Halloween" celebration! Writing so many lengthy articles for the site during that time is always exhausting, but it's also an absolute blast knowing that it's a part of your annual Halloween traditions. As always, I like to share a recap of the many updates that were posted to the site between September 1st and October 31st in case you missed any of it. November is usually a slow month anyway, so what better time to catch up on some good reading? Here's a handy recap of some of the highlights you may have missed:
-I probably gave diabetes just by having you look at my massive Ultimate Guide To The Halloween Candies Of 2017 article.
-We learned all about one of the so-bad-it's-good Michael Myers Young Adult Halloween Novels by presenting a full book report on it.
-We completely revamped our beloved Halloween Jack-O-Juke, so now all of you can enjoy those 230+ spooky tunes on your computers, tablets, and even on your cellphones!
-We gave the internet its first exclusive look at the original Halloween III trade ad.
-We showcased the complete set of original 7-Eleven Halloween Monster Slurpee Cups.
-We helped Mighty Max escape from the dreaded Skull Mountain.

-We also had a killer time at the ScareLA Los Angeles Halloween Convention and filmed another yelling video.
-We had an in-depth look at Blood Rage, a completely bonkers slasher flick.
-We learned that the children in Children of the Corn may indeed like corn, but they sure hate adults.
-We watched Ghost Shark and learned some very important lessons.
-We unveiled a rare set of Terror 1980s Horror Stickers From Venezuela, featuring an amazing bootleg Freddy Krueger and more.
-We checked out the classic Fright Night video game.
-We visited the local Ambrose Avenue Haunted House and were quite impressed with what that teenager put together.
-We realized that Leatherface is far less intimidating when he's reduced to pixels in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre Atari 2600 video game.
-We learned about a nightmarish kid in a movie called... yep, you guessed it... Nightmare.
-We shared a big photo gallery of Universal's Halloween Horror Nights, which never fails to dazzle us.
-We examined the puppets in the heavy metal horror hilarity known as Black Roses.
-Even thought it was later than usual, we somehow pulled off releasing yet another Halloween Club Pack, complete with Halloween toilets from Japan!
-And last but not least, we finally released a brand new Halloween game on Steam called GRAVE CHASE!
You know there's no time I enjoy more than Halloween each year, and having so many of you making I-Mockery your virtual Halloween home truly makes it all the better.

Please continue to share the site with your friends, and I'll do my best to keep that tradition going strong for years to come.

"Death has come to your little town, Sheriff." I'm pretty sure Dr. Loomis wasn't speaking of Michael Myers when he uttered those words; he was referencing I-Mockery's Halloween Club Pack! Fortunately for you, it's October, so there's nothing wrong with having death delivered to your door. Rejoice, for I-Mockery's Halloween Club Packs have returned for the 2017 season! Getting so many unique Halloween items in bulk quantities is no easy task, I assure you, but I've managed to collect some insanely cool spooky goodies for everyone. I even have some killer Halloween items from South Korea, Japan, Venezuela, & more this season, so get ready for some frightening fun you won't find anywhere else. Behold!
Such a sight brings tears to your eyes, doesn't it? It's like you just opened up a magic sack of Halloween goodies and you didn't even have to go trick-or-treating for them! What I try to do with these packs every year is simple: I want to give you Halloween in a box. I put a ton of time, research, and love into assembling these packs, and those of you who've kindly purchased them in the past surely already know this. As always, there's a LOT to scour through in my annual Halloween Club Packs, so let's take a closer look at some of what you'll receive when you order one. We begin with one of my favorites: (more...)
