Horror Collectibles

Twisted Metal arrives on Valentine's Day next week. If you just can't get enough of the chaotic car combat franchise, you'll be happy to know that the game will release alongside a special edition R/C vehicle.

If you're unfamiliar with the Neatoshop, then you are missing out on some of the finest and most humorous dead things this side of the graveyard! The lovable sickos are back with even more things to do with the dead. After all, just because you croak doesn't mean you cannot remain useful!

Last week we gave you a heads up that UK manufacturer of kick-ass threads Disturbia Clothing has created a line of Hammer Films themed shirts. We were all over it but only had one design to share with you. Knowing our fans would want to see more, more, more, the good folks of Disturbia have shared three new designs with us!

IT'S NECA TIME! Yes, kiddies, those fine folks who brought you Lost Boys, Robocop, 60 Freddies, 70 Jasons and 200 Gremlins are now tackling a film near and dear to our hearts and inexplicably overlooked by the toy gods: EVIL DEAD 2!

We recently reported on a collaboration between the people behind Creepy magazine and Stussy clothing to produce some cool digs. Now we've got word of another line of clothing, this time created by Disturbia featuring some classic Hammer Films as the subject matter. How can you go wrong with Disturbia Clothing producing Christoper Lee threads? It's magical!

NECA has been fulfilling dreams for some time now, and if you think that sentiment is silly, you are NOT a hardcore horror fan! What other company would do the leads from Lost Boys, Robocop, the first Terminator AND an entire line of Gremlins in both cute 'n fuzzy and mean 'n scary forms?!

I'm always amazed at how casually monsters and horror have worked their way into media seemingly made for "kids". The Pirates of the Caribbean films (from Walt Disney) have had zombies, fish monsters AND unkillable skeleton pirates. Hell, those lovable Ewoks from Star Wars set out to EAT our heroes when they first met. Never forget what the "Luka Luka Luuuuka" song really means.

We are full swing into Toy Fair time now with the festivities under way in the UK this week. We caught up with Mezco for a peek at their creepy plastics for 2012 and got an eyeful of Living Dead Dolls art! On tap we have...

The first wave of "Munsters" figures was a collector's dream with each one capturing the essence of the character perfectly. In addition to these fantastic representations of Grampa, Herman and Lily, you also got a killer collection of accessories AND a Build-A-Electric Chair!! Now Diamond Select looks to finish off its "Munsters" family portrait with a two-pack of Marilyn and little Eddie!

IT'S TOY FAIR TIME! Well, not really, but we are starting now anyway because we're rebels. When we last heard about NECA taking on Left 4 Dead action figures, it was during San Diego Comic-Con, and we'd seen nothing more than some art on a teaser card. Now NECA gives us an excellent look at their first figure...the Deluxe Boomer!

Though Friday the 13th has come and gone, here's a new look at two of the franchise's titular killer - one from NECA, who teased just the head of its new Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter Voorhees collectible, and the other from Derek Mears, who played the big man himself in the Friday remake. Check 'em out!

Earlier this week we featured an insane Legos rendering of the Winchester from Shaun of the Dead erected by a guy who goes by the handle of Yatkuu. The creation has been so well received that there is a possibility it could become an actual set produced by Lego...and you Dread Central readers can help put it over the top.

Legos have evolved greatly since we put our last castles together back in the early '80s. No longer are you just given a pile of bricks and forced to build another shitty formless house. Today's kids have movie-licensed Legos based on Harry Potter, Toy Story, "SpongeBob," etc. And we've been fine with that... until now. We didn't get jealous until we saw Shaun of the Dead reconstructed in Legos.

What do you get the person who has everything? You get him or her a goddamn Human Centipede hand-knit scarf, that's what! Made of 12 (count 'em 12!) victims (thank you, Martin!) The Human Centipede scarf may be the greatest piece of outerwear ever created.

So here you are, sitting on a bunch of Christmas gift cards with nothing to buy. You got all the video games and movies you wanted from the big man in the red suit, and those pre-loaded Visas and MasterCards are burning a hole in your pocket. We've got just the item for you.
