So as San Diego Comic Con nears, I thought I’d tease you with highlights from yet another recent convention…the Fangoria Weekend of Horrors. Fangoria magazine has been bringing horror entertainment news to fans for over twenty years. Their magazine covers everything from feature films, video games, comic books, collectibles, and monster movie makeup among other things.

The convention kicked off at 9am with an organized Zombie Walk. You know, I did notice a bunch of people that resembled the undead, but I thought they were all just having bad hair days. Read more »

How many of you have waited till Halloween night to rush out to the grocery store, buy the last deformed pumpkin, then try to carve some sort of recognizable image out of it? Or maybe you’ve left yourself plenty of time but your design still comes out looking like a failed kindergarten art project. Lets face it. We’ve all been there. And we’ve all said “Next year, I’m going to carve one of those cool pumpkins”. More than likely, you don’t have the proper tools for the job. Start with a nice smooth, round pumpkin. Its difficult to carve on a lumpy face. Then before you reach for that sharp kitchen knife, try some of these Pumpkin Carving Tools. You’ll see that with the right tools, you can really take your creativity to the next level. Happy Carving!

In one week, San Diego will open its gates once again to the biggest comic geek convention in the country. I cant wait. I have my tickets, my hotel room, and my air freshener! I will be posting blogs live from the San Diego Comic Con to tell you all the news, insights, or really weird things that I encounter. My goal this year? To get Elvira’s autograph of course. Stay tuned true believers…

They dont make them like this anymore. I’m not certain if its alligator or crocodile, but it is reptilian for sure. I saw this scaly automobile parked out on Colorado Blvd in Pasadena. It has amazing detail from head to tail, including what looks like REAL gator skin in the interior. I didn’t stick around long enough to see its owner, but I saw a severely sun weathered lady that surely could have fit the bill. Check out the facial expessions of the passengers in the SUV.

Its hard to ignore all the emotion and conversation surrounding Michael Jackson’s recent untimely death. Now regardless what you feel about the guy…(all eccentricities aside and there are many), its hard not to recognize him for being one of, if not the greatest entertainer of our generation. If you were around when Michael’s “Thriller” album first hit the airwaves, you’d know what I’m talking about. It was crazy! Not only was the music incredible and new, this pop culture phenomenon was taking the world by storm. The jacket, the glove, the music, the dance moves! People were imitating him in the streets, on TV, in the playgrounds! When I first heard “Thriller”, I thought this is awesome…a Horror, Halloween type song on the radio by the biggest music star of the time.
