I-Mockery Going On Tour With Keith Apicary This Month!
So yeah, starting today, I've apparently "volunteered" to help out on Keith Apicary's tour around the country this month. If you're not familiar with him, just check out his other awesome videos on Youtube or his appearance on Doc Mock's Movie Mausoleum. We're going to be hitting up a variety of arcades, game stores, and plenty of random fun places along the way on this crazy road trip where you can see Keith perform all of his awesome video game songs live! Who wouldn't want to see a madman sing songs about the Neo Geo and other video game systems? If you live anywhere near one of the towns listed on the Apicarnage tour, please come out to show your support. Come say hey and I'll give you some I-Mockery and Abobo's Big Adventure freebies too!
And don't worry... we have plenty of Halloween stuff ready to go up on I-Mockery while I'm out of town until later this September. I wouldn't leave you guys hangin' without your Two Months of Halloween fix! Only difference now is I'll also be posting updates from the tour on here as well. Double your pleasure, double your fun. So that's the big surprise announcement and I hope to see some of you on the road!
Dig A Grave! I-Mockery’s 2011 Halloween Season Has Begun!
Who here is ready for the one time of the year when rat-eating lizard men and robotic cephalopods puking up brain matter through a meat grinder-like orifice while one-eyed vampire zombies smile approvingly are part of the every day norm? I sure am! This can mean only one thing... it's time to get ready for Halloween!
As you should already know by now, September 1st marks the beginning of I-Mockery's annual "Two Months of Halloween" celebration. Everything you see on this site between now and October 31st will be filled with monsters, horror movies, candy and any other Halloween-related things I can get my grubby hands on, so whether you're ready or not, it's time to start getting into the spirit of the season. This is the best time of the year and there's no way we're going to celebrate Halloween for a mere month. Historically speaking, September has always been that long transitional month where we wait for the last remnants of summer to fade away and for fall to take over so the ghosts 'n goblins can finally come out to drain our blood whilst we sleep. Haha, I said "whilst"... Halloween sure brings out the fancypants in me. Pardon me while I go put on my top hat and meet some other fine gents at the high society social club to discuss the moral decay of society at the hands of many a rapscallion.
Anyway, there's simply no better time of year to be hanging out here on I-Mockery to discuss all things Halloween with us. We're a big Halloween family and you're all a part of it, so put your differences aside, scarf down some mellowcreme pumpkins 'til you're ready to puke, and enjoy the ride.
We always pride ourselves on going crazier over this holiday than any other site ever has, so we've got all sorts o' spine-tingling things planned for the 2011 Halloween season here on I-Mockery. We even have a brand new Halloween pixel poster coming out this month that will make a perfect addition to your haunted house decor. Of course, you can count on seeing coverage of crazy old Halloween movies, pictorial tours of haunted attractions, oddball horror-themed novelties, huge trick-or-treat candy reviews and much more over the next two months. You can also expect a special announcement that I'll be making in the next couple o' days. That being said, if any of you have suggestions for Halloweeny things you'd like to see us cover this season, please let us know here in the blog thread or shoot us an email. It doesn't matter if it's a Halloween event taking place in your area, a horror movie, an independent seasonal costume shop, some new candy, or some completely bizarro new Halloween novelty... we wanna see and hear all about it, so please get in touch!
To those of you who aren't well acquainted with our annual Halloween celebration here on I-Mockery, I recommend you check out some of our main Halloween attractions. And hell, even if you've been with us for years, it wouldn't hurt to look back over all that old stuff to help get in the spirit o' things.
-I-Mockery's Halloween Collection: Here you'll find quick 'n easy access to most of our Halloween material from the past. Extremely in-depth horror movie and candy reviews, product reviews, and of course the boppin' Halloween adventures of Count Pop himself along with other oddities.
-The Halloween Grab Bag: Much like our "Shorts" section, this is a place where you'll find our smaller Halloween articles, but often covering some of the weirdest stuff we've ever stumbled upon.
-The Greatest Horror Movie Moments: Another favorite is our ongoing quest to document some of the finest moments in horror movies. Sometimes they're moments you're well aware of, other times, it's stuff you probably never knew existed. Either way, if you're looking for some horror movies to check out this season, this is a great place to start.
-Trick-Or-Treat Adventure: Our largest Flash game to date... and it's all about Halloween. If you're a fan of classic adventure games such as Monkey Island and Space Quest, you'll feel right at home with this one as you go on an adventure to build a Halloween costume and then collect enough candies before you battle the ultimate evil! It even auto-saves your progress as you go play, so you don't have to beat the game all in one sitting.
-Haunted House Candy Hunt: In this Halloween flash game we pay tribute to the games of the Atari 2600 by creating an all new one in the same style. You must guide two buddies (who just so happen to be from a galaxy far, far away) through all the treacherous rooms of a spooky haunted house as they hold hands. Should you reach the end of the game, you'll have a showdown with the ultimate candy hoarder - The Grim Reaper himself! I've also heard from a reliable source (ie: myself) that there's a secret level select hidden somewhere in the game. But you don't need that anyway, right? Cheater!
-MonsterTime: With our most recent Halloween flash game, we pay tribute to the arcade classic BurgerTime. Only difference is, instead of building burgers, you're building classic monsters to save you from the modern slasher monsters who are in hot pursuit of you, Doc Mock!
-Doc Mock's Movie Mausoleum: Doc Mock, I-Mockery's official horror host, is currently looking for a new home to shoot his show in, but we have over 30 archived episodes already after just one year! If you're looking for a good cheesy b-movie flick, check out some of the Doc's episodes, including the 2009 Halloween specials! Doc is planning on hitting up Universal Studios' Halloween Horror Nights once again this year, so expect coverage of that too!
In addition to a ton of new feature articles, you can still expect our regular site updates to the Blog (don't forget the archived Halloween blog entries from years past) and Weeklies section (yes, they're back) this season. We've also got some great Halloween contests in store for you to participate in as well. I-Mockery's big 2011 Halloween season has finally begun and I hope you guys will stick around the entire time to join in all the fun!
Our New 8-Bit Halloween Pixel Print From The Crazy 4 Cult Show!
After making tons of great suggestions, you guys waited a while to see how our new 8-bit Halloween print would turn out. Well my friends, the wait is over. This past Friday night, the print made its debut at Gallery 1988's fifth annual "Crazy 4 Cult" show along with some amazing cult film pieces by other artists, and now it's your turn to see what it looks like. Behold:
8-bit Halloween - click to enlarge!
This is the high quality 8-bit Halloween giclée print (limited to 50 signed & numbered pieces) and Gallery 1988 has put some of them up on their web site for sale so those of you who couldn't make it to the Crazy 4 Cult show can still get them. You can order the 8-bit Halloween prints here while they remain in stock. And don't worry, for those of you who can't afford the archival print, we will have the standard pixel posters coming out in the not too distant future as well.
I'm extremely happy with how this one turned out. There are so many references crammed into it and you guys already know that Halloween is my favorite holiday, so I think it's safe to say that this one is my favorite of the three pixel prints we've done so far. I hope you all love it as much as I do and thanks again to all of you who made suggestions for the print. Please drop a comment below and lemme know what ya think!
And now we start making our final preparations for the San Diego Comic-Con, including getting the full version of Abobo's Big Adventure ready for all to play. July is always one hell of a busy month, but a fun one too.
Make Suggestions For Our Upcoming Halloween Pixel Poster!
Due to popular demand, we're officially working on a new pixel poster... and this time it's going to be a Halloween themed one!
With that in mind, please post your suggestions for characters, monsters and any generally spooky things you'd love to see in a Halloween pixel print! Be sure to make as many suggestions as you can come up with... the more we receive, the more likely it is that we'll include some of 'em on this poster. And to help get your creative juices flowing, here's a little preview of a few things you can expect to see on the finished print:
I'm really excited about this latest one since Halloween is pretty much my favorite thing in the world and we already have some killer plans for it. And yes, for those of you who haven't had a chance to pick up our summer or winter themed prints, they're still available.
Alright, start posting your suggestions here in this thread and maybe your ideas will end up on our big Halloween print!
I’m Setting Booty Traps!
Last weekend, I performed in another Tournament of the Nerds show at the Upright Citizens Brigade theatre here in LA, and this time I was debating on behalf of The Goonies. Naturally, I saw this as the perfect opportunity to make a Data costume to wear while I performed on stage. I'll always jump at the chance to dress up as one of my favorite characters, even if Halloween is still a long ways off. It was a really great show and I even got to give a dramatic "this is our time" speech from the movie. Big thanks to everybody who came out and to my fellow nerdy performers.
By the way, anybody who dares to take a ride up Troy's bucket had best beware of my pinchers of peril! (more...)
The Great Friday The 13th Debate!
Alright folks, today is the 13th of May and it's a Friday, so there's no way in hell we're not gonna talk about the Friday the 13th films. I've written about the movies before, including Jason's 10 Best Kills, but it's high time we have a bigger discussion about the franchise as a whole. With decades of death on his resume, Jason Voorhees will forever be one of the all-time greatest horror movie icons, but the question I'd like to pose today is simple: What is the best Friday the 13th movie and why?
Now before you rush to answer right away, think about all the films for a minute. Do you like the original where Jason's role was more of a tragic back-story or maybe you're all about him wearing a potato sack on his head in part II. Maybe you relish seeing his kills in a gloriously cheesy 3D presentation. Perhaps you're a big fan of "The Final Chapter" which was anything but and featured Crispin Glover's infamous dance, or maybe you have a pure adoration for the almighty Reggie in part V. What about Jason's graveyard resurrection in part VI or his battle against the telekinesis girl in part VII? And let's not forget his excursions outside of Camp Crystal Lake to Manhattan, hell and outer space! That's quite a hefty load of murder and mayhem to consider, so take your time.
For the purpose of this discussion, let's leave out the Freddy vs. Jason flick since that's more of a blend of two franchises, and let's leave out the remake since Jason taking a prisoner for an entire film instead of killing her goes against everything we love about the guy. So yeah, keep the discussion to the classic Friday the 13th films - part 1 through Jason X.
Also, don't just list off your favorite film in the series and nothing more. Back up your choice with an explanation of exactly why you think it's the best Friday the 13th movie and stands above the rest. Alright, sharpen up those machetes and hack away at your keyboards. Go!
