Horror Collectibles

My favorite bits of reading as I flew through the grocery checkout were always sightings and new discoveries pertaining to "Bat Boy" on the cover of The Weekly World News. Apparently Steve Forde of Go Hero has similar memories and decided NOW is the time that the enigma that is Bat Boy be fleshed out in plastic for your desktop, car dashboard and Hummel curio cabinet.

Lately some of the coolest collectibles on the market have been bobble heads, and few companies give better head than Funko. This September they have a new line of bobbles hitting the market that includes two of our most favorite creatures: Cthulhu and The Fly.

Now here is something we've been waiting for FOREVER! A deluxe collectible from The Exorcist featuring little Reagan strapped to her bed and thoroughly possessed. Pretty cool, no? But wait .... there's more!

There's badass, and then there's badass Sideshow Collectibles style. Their 16-inch Jason Voorhees "Terror of Crystal Lake" polystone statue is now available for pre-order, and we've got a look at both the Sideshow exclusive and regular versions for you here.

The filming of Season Five of Showtime's "Dexter" doesn't start up until June so it's going to be a bit of a wait before we get to reconnect with America's most lovable mass murderer. But thanks to Dark Horse Deluxe collectibles, a 7-inch version could be yours to bring home this summer.

Living as close to Mexico as we do, next to Halloween, many Dread Central staffers' favorite holiday is the Day of the Dead (or El Día de los Muertos) so you can bet we'll be first in line to order the super badass Living Dead Dolls Series 20, which is based around the festivities.

H.P. Lovecraft had one of the single most insane imaginations that has ever been instilled in a mortal man, and as a result his writings have remained as horrific, visceral, and relevant as when he first put pen to paper. We like to think even he himself would approve of this latest collectible that's hitting the market. Are you guys ready to come face to claw with Dagon?

When it comes to your horror needs t-shirt-wise, it's hard to find anyone who holds a candle to the sickos over at Rotten Cotton. The boys in black have just unveiled a bunch of new designs to help you make "the normal" folks around you walk on the other side of the street, and we've got a couple of choice ones for you to dig on as well as directions for you to see the whole damned line!

Every anthology series since has tried to mimic the formula established by The Twilight Zone with mixed success. But there's no disputing the awesomeness of Bif Bang Pow!'s line of Twilight Zone bobble heads and action figures, and fans of the series have not just one or two new items to add to their shopping lists but a whopping four bobbles and two pairs of 8-inch figures, all coming between March and August of this year!

Nomad has finished sifting through his hundreds of pictures from this year's Toy Fair and just updated his blog with the details about Diamond Select's two new lines of Universal Monsters: Universal Select and Universal Minimates, both of which are starting with figures from Creature from the Black Lagoon.

You know, in retrospect, if Katie and Micah had had some tiny plastic Ghostbusters figures with them, they might have stood a better chance against that nasty demon who was haunting them literally to death in the box office smash Paranormal Activity. At the very least Venkmen. He had moxie!

Nomad just reported in with a slew of new A Nightmare on Elm Street goodies for you guys to ummm ... sink your claws into! As well as figures based upon the new Platinum Dunes remake that's looming on the horizon, NECA is also paying its respect to the original franchise with a new and exciting collectible that makes us wonder how no one ever thought to do it before!

Nomad has picked up some more goods for you to dig on, this time coming out of The Wolfman's camp! What better way is there to celebrate the resurgence of everyone's favorite furry night creature?

One of our main duties here at Dread Central has always been to keep you in the loop concerning new and badass stuff that you simply need to know about and have. Get out the credit cards, kids! We're about to point you in the direction of some really ghoulish things for that special someone on your list!

One of Dread Central's favorite corpse-themed collectibles is Sideshow Toys' line of The Dead figures, and today they provided their newsletter subscribers with a first look at "Undying Carcass", the next Premium Format Figure in the series.
