Chucky Coming to Halloween Horror Nights

Universal Studios Hollywood’s premier Halloween event, “Halloween Horror Nights,” continues to unlock the terror that torments movie-goers with the announcement of two new original scare-zones:  The Purge, based on Universal Pictures’ summer blockbuster and upcoming Blu-ray™ and DVD release, and Universal Studios Home Entertainment’s Blu-ray™ and Digital debut of Curse of Chucky, an all-new movie where Chucky returns to horrify viewers in the latest unrated chapter of the blood-soaked suspense saga.  “Halloween Horror Nights” begins on Friday, September 20, 2013.

Telltale Games Poker Night 2

File this under "In Case You Missed It"..because you don't play poker, aren't a hardcore gamer or just don't spend every waking hour on the computer, enabling your brains to soak up every iota of information that pops up under the search terms "Venture Brothers", "Evil Dead" or "Portal". For us...we blame the latter...but the other 2 apply as well. Shoot me for wanting to see the sun occasionally. A poor geek, indeed.

The Evil Dead Crew Coming to WonderCon

The Evil Dead Trailer!

The best horror trailer I've seen in a very long time has been leaked...as is the way of the interwebs! Take a look before it gets disappeared! Thanks to NuketheFridge for the scoop...
UPDATE: The Nuke the Fridge bootleg has been sacked. All responsible have fled the country. IGN has the goods though!

As you can see, the new film promises to be a meaner, crazier, more visceral animal. Bruce Campbell himself, when I inquired as to how violent the new film was going to be, asked me what I thought about a Nail Gun and a whooooole lot of nails? The trailer confirms an iconic possessed hand, plenty of demonic activity and even alludes to TREE RAPE!! What more could you ask for? Evil Dead promises to mirror those moments you love while presenting the entire experience in a whole new light. "Fucked Up" seems to have been the magic phrase while shooting! I can't wait for more.

NYCC 2012: Back into the Fray...with Geeks

It's the last day of New York Comic Con and as per usual, I am a little worse for wear, but there was hot water in the shower, a happy round Brit on my couch and Vodka still in my system, so all is right with the world. Those of you who are new to the site may have thought I took the weekend off, but if you've been watching the feed up top, I'd done my best to periodically dump some pics into Flickr to curb your fiendish dorkly appetites. Failing that, as was the case yesterday as I was locked in the interview rooms all day where you can't hope to get an upload signal, I switched over to Twitter whenever I could get a tenth of a bar on the cell. You can see that handy work here - https://twitter.com/nomadixxx - and pay particular attention to the pics..which where pretty much what was all around me all day. YOU GET TO BE MY EYES!! How creepy.

Kasual Friday Unveils New Mini Figures

The Pop Culture Collectibles landscape is a battlefield at the moment with licensors scooping up any project they can that they think will tug on your nostalgia strings. Enter David Vonner & company with their relatively new outfit, Kasual Friday! David brought us some amazing toys through Hasbro and now he puts that expertise to a mini figure line with an original look and feel we think you'll not be able to ignore.

At this past weekend's Wizard World Philadelphia Comic Con, Kasual Friday revealed 3 new characters from their upcoming 3" stylized figure line. Shown for the 1st time were MGM's Army of Darkness ASH and CLUBBER LANG along with King Features Syndicate's THE PHANTOM. Figures will be available Spring 2013.



Kasual Friday's website is still in the works, but you can "LIKE" them on FaceBook for updates and info!

Toy Fair 2012: NECA's New Jasons & More

NECA have been dream makers for some time now, and if you think that opening sentiment is silly, you are NOT a hardcore horror fan! What other company would do the leads from Lost Boys, Robocop, the first Terminator AND an entire line of Gremlins in both cute n fuzzy and mean n scary forms?! Now NECA get back to the core horror icons with a new release of a 7 inch action figure of Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th part 3! We expect him to start surfacing around June of 2012. Since Freddy Krueger got a full line of figures all to himself, we can expect Jason to get the same love. Further evidence of this comes from NECA's own twitter where they revealed a head for one of their Jason figures that looks more from Part 4 than Part 3!

NECA will have tons of new plastics to show off at the NY Toy Fair in around three weeks. Their lineup includes...

(highlighted bits are links for lots of eye candy!)

Three Hunger Games Action Figures (Katniss Everdeen, Peeta Mellark & Gale Hawthorne) and various nicknacks
Bioshock - Infinite figures
Valve figures (from Portal, Team Fortress, Left 4 Dead & Half Life)
Borderlands
Assassins Creed - Revelations
Gears of War 3
E.T. figures and other awesome collectibles
Gremlins (and also HERE)
Evil Dead
Rocky (with future releases of Ivan Drago & Clubber Lang)
...annnnd the show stopper...NEW licenses for quarter scale figures including Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Alien & Bioshock Infinite!




















































Keep watching Idle Hands, where it is going to be Toy Fair all damn day for the foreseeable future!
