Michael Myers's Many Masks

'Halloween' is a horror franchise that has experienced plenty of ups and downs. Actually, that's not true. Basically, everything from Halloween 2 (or at the very least H3) all the way to Halloween: Resurrection represents a sharp slide downward. Let me put it this way: if it were K2, I wouldn't ski it.

Things got a little better when Rob Zombie signed on to direct a re-make. It was supposed to be a one-off movie, a sleazy piece of artwork lightly tracing over the original. Which was fine, and Zombie did a wonderful job with it. Sadly, ending the first re-make with a certain kind of headshot could not kill the limping juggernaut franchise, and an unfortunate sequel was made, with a third on the way (not directed by Zombie).

But this isn't about the 'Halloween' franchise (even though I nearly slipped off into a rant about it). This is about the masks worn by its irrepressible *protagonist, Michael Myers. Head over to Freddy in Space to view a collection of the worst versions of the Shatner mask ever designed. You'll be surprised at how inept mask designers can be. Walter Matthau eyebrows, really? Really?

Monster Mash - I Thought It Was Evil Whiskey

Here's a cool video someone did for the Boris Pickett song, 'Monster Mash', just in time for Halloween. Since I'll be in Jacksonville over this most sacred holiday, I'll have to front load the material of the blog. There's also a new Angry Video Game Nerd video on Frankenstein posted online.
