Horror Caviar

In this first edition of Get Rich and Buy This! It's horror statues time. As horror expands further into the mainstream so do all the collectibles and there are some amazing things to collect. From action figures, commissioned art, shirts, posters and everything in between it's a great time to be a horror fan! I wanted to share several of the horror statues that I have come across and hope to own one day. Granted, you don't need to win the lottery to buy these, but it sure would help! Click the links to order, pre-order or for further information on the statues and busts. Pinhead Hellraiser the ultimate curiosity killed the cat movie....with a puzzlebox. But, it also gave birth to one of the great horror icons of all time Pinhead. Even though the franchise has had it's hits and misses I still love Pinhead and all the Cenobites. Thankfully Sideshow Collectibles has found a truly glorious way to honor Pinhead in all his hellish glory. This Premium Format 21 inc...

Kickstarter: Mixtape Massacre One of my guilty pleasures is playing games, especially board games. I have played all sorts of games, but being a huge horror fan I didn't really feel like their was a solid board game for my genre. Sure there are horror games out there if you are really into zombies (which I am), but how many times can you play Rick Grimes until you, yourself starts feeling like a zombie. Now it seems horror fans screams have been answered with Mixtape Massacre! If you love 80's horror and honestly what horror fan doesn't then this game is nostalgia wrapped up in a bloody good time! Developed by Bright Light Media, Mixtape Massacre is 2-6 player, tabletop game where you get to be the killer and with killers like The Legend, Sarah, Stitches, Smiley, Thorne, Prom Queen, Nightmare and Hatchling you and your horror friends will be fighting over who you get to be more than regular folks fight over being the dog in the Monolopy game. Once you choose your cha...

The Price of a Celebrity Autograph Last weekend I spent my time at the Horrorhound convention in Cincinnati. Horrorhoud has always been a great place for fans to get together and celebrate all things horror through celebrity interactions, panels, cosplay and vendor merchandise. There are also movie screenings, contests and just general horror goodness all around. But, sadly all good things must end and after the dust settles and fans go back home the outpouring of loving or hating parts of a con come out all over social media. I will be the first to admit I participate in these conversations whether it be good or bad. But, it appears that the one thing that is always a topic of contention with horror fans and even with people in general is celebrity autograph pricing. Attitudes on this subject range from "I would never pay for an autograph" to "How do I balance my con money when I want an autograph from everyone". I'll start off by saying I buy autographs ...

When a group of childhood friends get together to help a friend spread the ashes of his deceased mother things take a supernatural turn when they stumble upon a mystic door that gives them unreal powers. As the supernatural presence increases in power so does the descent of the friends into complete madness. Although not a completely new concept of supernatural things in the woods it still proved to be an entertaining film. It had a Dreamcatchers vibe, if that gives you a better idea of the feel of the movie. The characters were believable the dialogue and concepts throughout moved at a good pace, with only a few parts that seemed to drag on a bit too much. The one thing that I was surprised about was there were some good moments of creepiness and suspense. I have to say I've watched several IFC Midnight films and I haven't been disappointed yet and this one is worth a view. This film is available on Hulu.

I had been wanting to see this movie for awhile large in part is because I'm a completest and I had watched the previous 2 and I figured I would finish out the series. Another reason was because various horror sites had touted this film as a bloody gory good time mess with some great scenes of carnage. Well after viewing this film you can't believe everything you read. This installment finds a group of friends on a bachelor party outing who charter a boat for fun at sea to which they detour to an isolated island which of course has a flesh eating virus in the water and horror clique insanity ensues. I feel the only way I can sum up this film is as if Wyatt and Gary from Weird Science went on a Scooby adventure where everyone has flesh eating virus and those people puke on your face. The characters were the typical cookie cutter horror clique of lead guy getting ready to get married to a girl that is way way out of his league, his nice friend, his douchebag friend and a slutty...

Elliott is a down and out guy, he is up to his neck in debt, his father's a racist, he just lost his job, he cares for his mentally handicapped brother and his fiance is pregnant. He is at his wits end with no way out. But, when he gets a mysterious phone call from a stranger asking him to participate in a game, Elliott thinks his luck might be changing. The premise of the game is that Elliott will be forced to complete 13 challenges, if he fails any challenge or informs anyone of this game he will lose the prize winning money, but if he completes all challenges then he will receive a very large sum of money that could end a lot of his troubles....but is it all worth it? I heard pretty good things about this movie so I had high hopes for it and thankfully it didn't disappoint. Granted the premise of a person being forced to their brink by competing hellish acts is nothing new, but this took it in a fresh new direction. The movie started bold and continued on with a fast and s...
