Horror - Zombie Model

Well, it was suggested (or rather challenged) by Johnny Zombie , after my Psycho Mansion model to make a zombie apocalypse model.

So, off I duly went and started...

It is no-where near finished, I'm forever tweaking it and moving the severed limbs around,

and I still need to add more gravestones and several trees, and maybe a farmhouse with people barricaded inside,

but it's on it's way.  My little boy had great fun choosing which zombie should have an arm or leg chewed off, or where an arm should be clawing out of the ground.

So, message me when you've made yours (that means you too Johnny - found your camera yet?), that's right I want to see your models/dioramas/hallowe'en props whatever, and I'll come over and take a look.

Next one for us is this little beauty....

Horror - Forklift Safety Instructions

A friend has passed on this video to me detailing the correct safety procedures for a forklift truck operator.

So what? I hear you say.  Well, this video - apart from being fairly amusing - has better gory special effects than most of the low-budget crap that is coming out these days.

So sit back, and learn how inadvertantly execute all of your work colleagues with Klaus.  The Tit.

Horror - Psycho Model Part 2

Well, as promised, here is the finished article now I have gotten around to buying some paints.

Complete with dirty 'weathered' walls and a mummified Mother, all it needs now is the hill it sits atop.

As you can see below, the light shines through a bit too much, so I think I'll paint the inside black, but apart from that it's not too bad.

 (The last photo is a crappy one from my phone, but I changed the light inside to a softer yellow light to make it more natural)
I've seen on Ebay a collection of tiny figures, used for model railways, so I think I'll adapt them for our next project - a diorama of  a cursed village, complete with an army of the undead.

Horror - Psycho Model

This week I bought my little boy a new nightlight.  So what, I hear you say.  Well, this one is a bit cool.

It has a light kit which, once assembled, painted and the curtains put in, shines out the windows.

It even has a tiny Mother figure (which I am apparantly to paint in 'various shades of dead') which sits in an upstairs window.

The assembly wasn't too hard.  After an hour we had it looking like this...

Smaller than I expected, but as it's going to be a nightlight I suppose it's about right. 

 I've got to build the hill it sits on yet as well though, so its size will increase.

My son and I had a really good time making this, and - as he's never seen the film - it holds no fear for him (I'm not a complete monster, deliberately giving him nightmares of Norman Bates - I'll wait until he's 9 for that)

Now the hard part - painting it so it looks realistic....

If it doesn't turn out to be a total disaster, I'll let you all know how it looks.

Horror - Vote For Me!

Apparantly I am up against Dr Blood's Video Vault in a horror blog face off.  Flip! Okay, probably Dr. Blood is a worthier entry to the horror blogosphere than I, but if you like this blog, then show it some love.  Give me a vote here.

Horror - Valentines

I know it's a day late, but here's a Valentines Day treat for the ghoul in your life.

Made specially for The London Dungeon by the Black Cherry Bakery.

Give them your heart.

Horror - Action Figures

I know, I'm being a big kid, but check out these brilliant American Werewolf figures you can get from Starstore

I'm very tempted...

And now I've just seen this at Monster Galaxy

A snip at only $1800.  I don't think the family would appreciate this on the wall though.

While you're there, take a look at the full size werewolf they've got for sale.  It's 8 feet long for Christ's sake!

Horror - Condiments

Thanks to Mark for pointing me in the direction of these.

Your ketchup or mustard too plain?  Do they need horrifying?  Then check out these heads to spruce them up a bit.

You can buy them (and loads of other cool stuff) here at Who Killed Bambi?
Just take a look at their jewelry for the emo/serial killer victim in your life...

Horror - Happy New Year

Parp....

Horror - Next Year's Calender

Just been directed by Mark to the vintage-sexiness-meets-eat-your-brains that is My Zombie Pin-Up

If you like your calenders a touch Alberto Vargas mixed with more than a dash George A. Romero, then this is the place to buy next years.

Recommended.

Horror - Cuckoo

Here's a novel clock, every hour Jack Nicholson bursts through the door shouting "Here's Johnny!"

Horror - Christmas Treat

Horror - More Decorations

Thanks to  Mark for this ornament

This tree is going to be pretty horrible at this rate.
Right, that's enough of all that.  Normal service will resume soon.

Horror - Wall Art

Thanks to Jenn  for pointing me in the direction of Etsy, lots of cool stuff on there.  Just take a look at this

I could spend all day on here.

Horror - Centipede Christmas

Tis the season to be stitched to someones anus, apparently.

You can get these charming Human Centipede tree decorations here, as well as this severed zombie finger to hang up.

Horror - Baubles

Reece Shearsmith has today posted a picture on Twitter of his Christmas tree decorations.

But what I want to know is, where the Hell can I get them?

Horror - Cthulhu Sex Toys

Came across these and they made me laugh.  Dildos in the shape of Cthulhu and other elder horrors.

I'm wracking my brain to think exactly who would want one of these, but if you do you can get one here.

Horror - Dick Smith Horror Make-Up Kit

Thanks to Paul's excellent Cobwebbed Room for reminding me of the best Christmas present I was given as a child.

I was given it in around 1980 - 81ish, and my dad did a cracking job applying the latex scars and wounds to my face.  I even won a Halloween competition at my school, dressed as a disfigured werewolf!

Happy days.

Anyway visit The Cobwebbed Room. I have spent ages trawling through his pages with a nostalgic far-away look in my eye!

Horror - Christmas Presents

If anyone wants to get me a Christmas present, these Cthulhu playing cards will do...

Or a new pair of shoes...

Cheers.

Horror - Jewelery

Stuck for what to buy Grannie or Mum this Christmas.  This beautiful Human Centipede necklace will have them all gasping down at the bingo hall.

Crafted from sterling silver, with an eye-catching anus-to-mouth stitched-up motif, this is one Christmas present that won't be pushed to the back of a drawer on Boxing Day.

You can buy one here.
