The Isle of Dogs Movie Poster is a Work of Art
In a world of massive Hollywood movies, it's surprising how many marketing departments leave their key poster art in the hands of crazed, would-be photoshop artists who think cutting and pasting a series of images with ridiculous proportion disparity = MEGA EXCITEMENT for prospective movie goers. For all of us raised with beautiful, hand painted posters, there have been many tears. Leave it to Wes Anderson to demand something more.

Elvis Returns in Bubba Ho-Tep and the Cosmic Blood-Suckers
Hail to the King, baby! Prior to the events of the original Bubba Ho-Tep cult story, Elvis was enlisted by President Nixon to defeat an alien threat unlike anything he’s faced before. IDW and award-winning writer Joe R. Lansdale present Bubba Ho-Tep and the Cosmic Blood-Suckers!
“Bubba Ho-Tep was an accidental story that turned out to be my first film adaptation, and it's still going strong in story and film,” said Lansdale. “And finally, it has inspired a background story that was first a novel, and is now represented in the medium that first made me want to be a writer: comics. Graphic novels. What we used to call Funny Books. I'm excited and looking forward to readers discovering it all in color and looking fine. May more Bubba comics burst into existence and give the world the true story of how the world has been protected from evil, and for quite some time. Thank goodness these defenders are out there, working in the shadows.”

James Gunn Returns to Horror
Have you ever seen Slither? No? Ok stop what you are doing right now. If you must, leave work. Head to a store that sells movies and announce loudly that you need a copy of Slither or you may well die. It's just that serious. You begin your new life after your screening has ended.
There was much rejoicing when one of our favorite horror film directors took on the Guardians of the Galaxy, and further rejoicing as he continues his strong of amazing success, and still, it is bittersweet as all of Horror misses his hysterical take on dark times. Last year, Gunn blessed us with the Belko Experiment. Now, it seems, we get our fondest holiday wishes...

Bluefin Announces 1/6th Scale Ghostbusters Ecto-1 Car
Usually, when a company puts out exceptional 12 inch action figures, you can bet those heroes and villains won't be riding around your toy shelves, as their vehicle of choice would be MASSIVE. Of course, there have been some psycho companies that have stepped up to the challenge (coughhottoysbatmobilecough), but it doesn't happen too often. Welp, folks, it's HAPPENING!! Delay that new couch purchase and consider buying a big glass coffee table you can drive a large action vehicle into, because the boys are back in town...and they got a ride...

MGA Releases Crate Creatures Surprise Toys
If you are a part of any groups on Facebook with parents scrambling around toy stores looking to grab the hottest holiday gifts for their kids, you'll notice one refrain. WHAT DO I GET MY LITTLE BOY??!! Now, while you might think this is the ideal time for a lesson in gender equality in the toy aisles...it is not, as the mini human (boy OR girl) who isn't fond of sparkles and pastel colors is woefully under-served this season. Yes, there are plenty of Marvel Comics goodies, Transformers, Justice League and Star Wars characters to be consumed, but where is the original idea that leaves play largely to the imagination of your little kid? MGA steps up to solve the problem.

Paddington 2 Trailer Hits
Let's talk about a movie NO ONE give me a heads up about. The first Paddington Bear movie dropped onto Netflix with little fanfare and no one in my social media feeds losing their mind, so when I came across the title by accident, it was a complete mystery. Upon watching, I was very happy to find overwhelming charm, beautiful cinematography and an irresistibly sweet story (I would have said unBEARably, but we aren't those people.) Now...knowing what I know, I'm full on pumped for a movie that should really be something 4 year olds bug their mom to see on a Saturday afternoon. I'm owning it.
Following the worldwide hit “Paddington,” one of the most successful family films of all time, this much-anticipated sequel finds Paddington (Ben Whishaw) happily settled with the Brown family in London, where he has become a popular member of the local community, spreading joy and marmalade wherever he goes.

Boggy Creek Monster & The Mothman of Point Pleasant on VOD Now
Terror Films, in association with documentary filmmaker Seth Breedlove, is widening the platform availability of two creature myth documentaries. The documentaries are titled: BOGGY CREEK MONSTER and THE MOTHMAN OF POINT PLEASANT. Both films will begin their release expansion on Tuesday, November 21st.
BOGGY CREEK MONSTER documents the legend of the Fouke Monster - a creature first reported on in the early 1970's in Fouke, Arkansas. There are allegations that this Bigfoot type creature attacked a local family and then destroyed livestock. Later many more sightings were reported and a legend was born!
THE MOTHMAN OF POINT PLEASANT deals with a different monster that was originally sighted near Point Pleasant, West Virginia. In 1966, multiple townspeople reported seeing "a large flying man with ten-foot wings whose eyes glowed red." Legend claims that the Mothman is responsible for the 1967 collapse of the Silver Bridge that killed 46 people. It still roams somewhere to this day.

2017 Holiday Geekbook: NECA's Quarter Scale Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Nothing triggers a retro, flashback reflex faster than the theme song from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon series. Activating these flashbacks has meant big business for toy manufacturers this past year, with products allowing you to revisit every past love from Q-bert to The Golden Girls. NECA loves what we love, and so it should come as no surprise that they would produce more than a handful of action figures that would give a geek whiplash when cruising any toy display. While all of these toys are fantastically rendered and considered a must-have for any collector, the quarter scale Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figures stand alone as works of art.

The last time you hit the video game section of Toys R Us, did you breeze through the densely packed pegs of figural characters that port into Nintendo, Disney and Activision's preferred video game universes and think "Damn, I have no desire to play this game, but those figures are pretty awesome!" Well...Disney was listening (probably through your phone...someone is always listening!!) As the sun sets on the Disney Infinity video game collection, that bright ball of fire pops up on the other side of our happy toy planet to shine a light on new Disney Toybox action figures! If you are anything like me, you noted the unified art style for those Disney Infinity figures was very appealing. I wondered if they might translate them into 6 inch vinyl figures in the near future. I WAS VERY CLOSE!

Marvel's Morbius The Living Vampire Movie In Development at Sony
The future of our beloved New York wall crawling hero on the big screen is always a tumultuous one. Just when we've breathed a sigh of relief in Marvel Studios bringing Spider-Man back into their loving embrace, we note his conspicuous absence in the opening Marvel art on every MCU movie. Though Sony's own Spider-verse plans have been jumping around just like a spider can, they've, at the very least, shown a great deal of forward momentum in trying new things in the hopes they will strike gold, and win the hearts of old school comic collectors AND MCU film freaks all at once. Most recently, we've been getting little bits on their progress with a Venom film starring Tom Hardy and a Silver Sable/ Black Cat film (which will most definitely NOT be titled "Precariously Placed Zippers"). Now, still (most likely) banking on the possibility of future Rated R super hero action pay dirt (see Fox's Deadpool), they've sought to make things all the more creepy...

Prepare for a NEW Star Wars Trilogy
StarWars.com is reporting Rian Johnson, Writer/Director of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, will be the driving creative force behind a new trilogy taking place in the Star Wars Universe. We've yet to see what someone can do away from the expectations of die hard fans who, at once, want a continuation of the Star Wars mythos, but don't want any drastic, jarring changes. A new story away from the original trilogy characters, still utilizing the legends of Sith and Jedi locked in an eternal battle among the stars is an instant win for me. Just look what they did with Star Wars: Rebels!! Here's the announcement...

Life of Agony bassist Alan Robert reveals more of Ghouliana's monochromatic world, and it's just waiting for you to saturate it with red, black, or any other color you can imagine (even pastels).
“Fans of this series continue to blow my mind on a daily basis with their amazing coloring work! It is because of them and their passion to bring my creepy artwork to life that I’ve decided to dive into volume three,” said Robert. “With Haunted Playgrounds, I get to expand Ghouliana’s world even more and introduce a slew of new twisted characters for her to interact with in a bunch of bizarre settings. I’m in a great groove right now, with two of these books under my belt, so this one will be some serious fun draw!”

Before we know it, we'll once again be knee deep in Todd's hormone driven adventures as he fights against ultimate evil and hopes to get lucky as an ever present side option. It's a noble cause.

Looking Back at Thor Action Figures
It's time for another epic Marvel Cinematic Universe movie release, and this round, we've got very high expectations. With a 94% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Director Taika Waititi hopes the general public in the states will love his take on Thor's little corner of the Marvel Universe as much as critics, and a large chunk of the world, already has. Thor: Ragnarok premieres today, so I thought i'd take this opportunity to celebrate the ever evolving toys we've gotten over the years celebrating the god of thunder. Thor is one character that's always been lucky enough to be immortalized in plastic, time and time again, giving fans many an opportunity to pick their favorite ones, or fill up an entire apartment, like Gollum sitting atop a mound of painted plastics in funny metal hats. Let's take a look at some toys!!

Dead By Daylight Takes On Freddy Krueger
If you are a fan of horror and horror video games, you are no stranger to Dead by Daylight! Last year around this time, we were treated to the arrival of Michael Myers and his final girl, Laurie Strode, complete with a hellish half-acre of Haddonfield. Some weeks back, Leatherface joined the hunt. Now the Springwood Slasher shreds that delicate boundary between dreams and waking, turning an already horrific game into the stuff of nightmares.
