Halloween Is Eternal With The Halloween Shirt Company!

You know us and we know you the reader and we all agree, Halloween does not come once a year, it’s all the time, it’s in our blood, it’s a lifestyle, and according to The Halloween Shirt Company, it’s Eternal, I can’t agree more and you can prove this is true with their products! I want to give a big thank you to The Halloween Shirt Company for making this review possible! The first thing about the shirts, I love is the art! The retro look that calls back to the old pulp magazines, the color choices used for the art encapsulates the colors of the Halloween season and even (for me anyway) wakes up a feeling of nostalgia of when October was all about Halloween and stores did not have Christmas decorations out yet. The shirts themselves are comfortable and the silk screening is good quality and looks like it’s made to last! I also like that the shirts

Ultra Controversial Film ’29 Needles’ Available For Pre-Order From Unearthed Films

Unearthed Films has announced the latest addition to its “Too Extreme for Mainstream Line” (TEFM) collection, 29 Needles, which is now available on Blu-ray and DVD pre-order, but only 30 copies are available at this time. Exploring such topics as sadism, masochism, and one man’s ready descent into his personal hell, 29 Needles has all of the brutal nastiness you’d expect from a TEFM title, with subversive and beautiful, yet truly disturbing scenes. In the film, Francis (Brooke Berry) uses pain to hold back his inner demons, but when this no longer works, his obsessions for pain and sex lead him into new territory. Scott Philip Goergens, director, gallery owner, and artist had this to say, “My work is meant to challenge. To push the boundaries of what is conventionally comfortable and “normal”. 29 NEEDLES is meant to highlight aspects of the human condition in ways that evoke tones of anxiety, perversion, fear, and the things we do in our

Artist Spotlight: Giuseppe Balestra

A little while back I did a review of the new fantastic Ghostbusters Art Book, a collection of amazing artists paying tribute to the iconic movie. In my review, I listed some of my favorite pieces, the poster by the incredibly talented artist Giuseppe Balestra. I feel that Giuseppe’s artwork deserves a more in-depth look. Born in Rome and raised in South Italy, the artist prefers using pen and inks, cross-hatching and stippling, before eventually combining digital color, drawing inspiration from literature, movies, especially horror and fantasy. I like to create illustrations in which the darkness of the shadows stands in contrast to the light. They’ve been called “melancholic, mysterious and poetic. I’ve always loved doing art since I was a child, always experimenting with all kinds of media. I published my first work in late 2015 in The Lovecraft eZine vol.36 and since then I’ve been doing it professionally, working on internal illustrations and covers for books, posters, and

Review: Ghostbusters: Artbook

I was able to get my hands on a copy of Sony Pictures’ new “Ghostbusters: Artbook,” featuring artwork from artists all over the world, paying homage to the classic in their own styles. I was a bit surprised when I picked up the box that the mailman left on my doorstep, it was quite heavy. I excitedly tore through the brown box like Wolverine. I threw the bubble wrap over my shoulder like a bride throws her bouquet. Finally, I saw it. I was met with a big book ( 208 pages) whose cover art is in bubble gum colors featuring our favorite ghost, Slimer. As I ran my hands over the hardcover of the book it was easy to see that the cover is super high quality, thick, firm and smooth. I flipped straight to the introduction written by none other than Jason Reitman, the Golden Globe winner and the four-time Acadamy Award nominee who is directing the upcoming

Movie Review: Eye of the Beholder: The Art of Dungeons & Dragons (2019)

Dungeon & Dragons; you can bet your arcane asses that a young Dan XIII spent many a lonely, female-less…I mean fun-packed afternoon consuming mass quantities of junk and battling all manner of monsters and maniacs with my erstwhile companions, and even though it’s been decades since I tossed the ol’ dice, I still have an infinity for the game and it’s associated imagery. Speaking of that imagery, you can bet demons to donuts that it was breathtaking, and sparked the imagination of player’s world wide (and let’s be honest, a Dungeonmaster’s job is a titch easier with visual aids)…and Eye of the Beholder explores it’s creation and history in impressive detail! Through ninety minutes we journey from the genesis of the game itself, through it’s earliest utilization of pen and ink illustrations, on to TSR’s (the company that published the game for those of you not in the know) creation of a full-time art department. We witness the growth of

‘Momo’ Artist Speaks Out

Keisuke Aiso is an artist and the head of a special effects company called Link Factory, which makes props for Japanese TV shows. In 2016 he exhibited a some creepy looking sculptures in a series titled Onnen. One of the sculptures at the time was a three-foot-tall woman-bird hybrid that acted as the artist’s vision of the Japanese Yōkai Ubume, this creature takes on the form of either a woman who died at childbirth or a bird-like creature that mimics the sounds of babies and attacks children. The latex creature was simply called Ubume but it earned a new name, later on, Momo, the centerpiece of the latest internet urban legend and hoax. Momo is said to contact children through the internet and threaten them into completing challenges that usually involve self-harm or suicide as the story goes. This leads to great panic recently as parents took to the web and started to warn others of the supernatural threat. Aiso,

Most items you find on the shop range from 3D printed parts, jewelry, and pies with human faces… Yes, you’ve read that right.
