Looking For A Halloween Costume? Look No More.

I *NEED* THIS COSTUME.

It's as if somebody spilled toxic waste all over a boy standing on a shag carpet and this hideous mutant was the resulting tragedy. Well, since I'm sure there's no chance in hell that any of these amazing masks and mitten sets are around anymore, I for one have full intentions of making a replica of them myself. I suggest you all do the same as soon as possible. I want this costume. I want to be a shag sasquatch. I want to run through the streets and howl into the moonlight like a ferociously furry madman. I want this costume. (more...)

Re’s Halloween Treats For The Domestically Challenged.

Over the last month, Re has been making some Halloween treats at random for the two of us to devour, so I thought I would give her this opportunity to share some of her spooky creations with all of you. Take it away Re!

Your Halloween treats will never look this professional.

Martha Stewart and her ilk think they are better than me. And they're right of course. Come Halloween I stare in awe at their magazines near the checkout counter with their glossy "Halloween Treats" covers. They look so delicious and beautiful, almost too good to eat! Well, unfortunately for me, I'm as far from a domestic diva as it gets. I recall the first time Rog's family asked me to make something for a Thanksgiving dinner... it was the last time as well. I attempted to make a cheesecake, and it came out more like poop soup. (more...)

A Nightmare On Any Street.

Fuel injection! Put your pedal to the metal, Dan!

If any of you are in the market for a new car at the moment, you might be interested in this eBay auction I stumbled onto the other day. Normally, I care for automobiles about as much as I do for sneakers, but as you can see, this isn't your average car. It's a 1983 Chevrolet Camaro themed after the A Nightmare On Elm Street films. In my dreams (no pun intended), this thing would have a gearshift made of bones and a car horn that plays the Elm Street theme song... but it's not quite that cool. What it does have, however, are some hilariously cheesy airbrushed graphics that I'm sure you'll appreciate. After all, we're talking about a seller who promotes the car with verbiage such as, "Freddy Krueger's back, & pissed & now he has 1200 Ponies!" Oh yeah, this is only gonna get better. (more...)

Skel-A-Flamingos: A Pop Culture Icon Becomes The Ultimate Halloween Lawn Ornament!

No pink on these flamingos! (no flesh either)

Classic lawn kitsch just got a lot spookier. Skel-A-Flamingos. SKEL-A-FLAMINGOS! It's one of those simple, obvious creations that makes you want to smack yourself on the forehead and scream, "Why didn't I think of that!?" I want these. I want to see these everywhere I go. If you have a lawn, buy fifty of these and put the entire bony flock out on display for all to see this Halloween. Also, take notice of how the box states that the Skel-A-Flamingos can be used for "special occasions". That's a bold, completely open-ended statement right there. So yeah, I expect to see these popping up at weddings, corporate events, concerts, and of course, funerals. (more...)

What Nightmares Are Made Of.

AAAAIIIIEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My friend Karen is training to be a nurse, and today she sent me this picture of the fucked up Satan mannequin she has to practice her stuff on. She actually has to get close to this thing and practice life saving techniques on it, take its readings, etc. I certainly don't need any medical instruments to get the only real reading you need to collect off this fucking thing: it's pure evil.

“Friday The 13th: The Series” Season 1 Finally Comes To DVD!

Why hello there! It only took you 20 friggin' years to arrive on DVD!

I'm really, really glad to see Friday the 13th: The Series finally get a DVD release. While many people thought it was lame that the series had nothing to do with the Jason Voorhees storyline, many horror fans saw it for what it was - a genuinely entertaining and suspenseful TV show. It's often been compared to the X-Files, though it predated that show by a good six years. The series was about a "Curious Goods" antique shop owner (Lewis Vendredi) who made a deal with Satan to make some mega-bucks by selling cursed antique items. He eventually broke off the deal and was subsequently killed as a result. His nephew (Ryan Dallion) and cousin (Micki Foster) inherit the store and start selling off all the items from the vault downstairs. Unfortunately for them, they learn from Lewis' old co-worker (Jack Marshak) about how the antiques were all cursed after they had already sold them off. So now, it's up to them to recover all of these cursed antiques so they can be stored in the downstairs vault where they'll never cause trouble anymore. (more...)
