There are countless urban legends or myths that litter our lives with fear. Things like Bloody Mary of the phone call to the babysitter coming from inside the house. I love these tales. But I find that the most terrifying ones come from other countries. I don’t know if they are more terrifying because of the actual content or just because they seem new and are more unknown to us. Take, for instance, the South African urban legend of Pinky Pinky. This is a tale of a specter or spirit or monster who lives in the girls bathrooms at schools. As the tale goes, if you wear pink you upset the monster and he does all manner of foul things to the offending girls including injuries, murder and rape. The creature, according to the many sightings back in the early ‘90s, has one hand that is a paw and the other a claw. It resembles another African monster called Tokoloshe

Known for their terrifying music videos (one which starred Horror Fuel favorite Samhain) and rocking beats, band Lethal Injektion will be released their brand new LP ‘Judgement Night’ on the 15th. Killer Clowns with giant nose rings aside, Lethal Injektion is a pretty kickass band, with a sound that reminds me of a lot of the metal and punk that was coming out in the mid 2000’s. While and LP isn’t a full album by any means, it’s at least a little taste of whats to come.

The new Hellboy movie is building up an impressive cast, even though Ed Skrein did back out of his role as Major Ben Daimo believing there was a problem with “whitewashing” the originally Japanese character. The latest to join the film is Penelope Mitchell (The Vampire Diaries) who has been cast Ganeida, an elder witch, Deadline reports. Mitchell will star alongside Ian McShane (American Gods) and David Harbour in the role of Hellboy. The new film was written by Andrew Cosby, Christopher Golden, Aron Coleite, and Mike Mignola, Hellboy’s creator. Neil Marshall will be in the director’s chair.

Cage’s next role is that of Red Miller, a broken, haunted man, who hunts down a religious cult who murdered the love of his life in the 1983 set film Mandy from director Panos Cosmatos (Beyond the Black Rainbow). Cage gets bloody in the first images (courtesy of THR). Cage will star along with Andrea Riseborough, Linus Roache, Ned Dennehy, Olwen Fouéré, Richard Brake, Sam Louwyk, and Bill Duke. Mandy recently wrapped principal photography in Belgium. Elijah Wood and Daniel Noah are producing for SpectreVision, Nate Bolotin for XYZ, and Adrian Politowski for Umedia.

The Sites Rotten Tomatoes ruined the summer 2017 boxoffice. The New York Times published this article on film review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes (read here). The site has been around almost twenty years. I was first introduced to it back in 2003-2004. As the Internet gained more of a foothold, Rotten Tomatoes expanded its base; and now, according to this article, its power to influence box office performance. Sounds like those parents who subscribe to the “not my kid” mentality. Couldn’t possibly be US, it has to be the school, society…anyone but us and the bad product we made. I wrote a similar article, which could be a companion piece (here) a few months earlier when another finger pointing article on RT got some press. Can a website that amasses critical reviews have so much impact on a film’s box office performance? Hollywood spins it both ways whenever convenient. When it comes to a franchise like Transformers, the studios love

I know, I know, it’s not even the most wonderful time of the year yet (obviously I mean Halloween), but we have to talk about Christmas for just a second. Pop! Vinyl is releasing new Krampus bobble heads! I know for sure that they will be on my wish list. Unfortunately, these are not based on the 2015 movie, but they still look spectacular. If anyone is still unaware of who Krampus is, he is basically the antithesis of Santa. He is a very old tradition, but was virtually lost until recently. Now he is back to terrorize those on the naughty list. Along with the standard brown/grey toy, a red/black chase version will also be available. The latter is a 1-in-6 rarity. Additionally, a couple stores will be getting their own exclusives… Hot Topic – “Flocked Krampus” Hot Topic – “Snow-Flocked Krampus,” 1-in-6 chase FYE – “Frozen Krampus” Look for all five Krampus vinyl toys in November.
