I was supposed to be looking at Halloween decoration since my girlfriend really wants to throw a Halloween bash this year. Complete with fog machine, creepy graveyard and even those Jello-brain mold thingies…
While browsing online for ideas, I bumped into this “Zombie Spiderman” action figure on Amazon.com. The coolest thing I’ve ever seen!
Well no, but close.
So I keep checking and I found a plethora of Zombi-esque action figures. These things are really highly detailed and worthy of collection for any Horror Movie fanatic.
Check out my favorites:
Friday the 13th’s Jason Voorhees 18″
“In his original appearance, Jason was scripted as a mentally disabled young boy. Since Friday the 13th, Jason Voorhees has been depicted as a non-verbal, indestructible, machete-wielding mass murderer. With the exception of flashbacks of Jason drowning as a child, and a brief scene in Jason Goes To Hell where his spirit is possessing another body, the character has never spoken in any of the sequels to the original Friday the 13th. Online magazine Salon’s Andrew O’Hehir describes Jason as a “silent, expressionless…blank slate.” When discussing Jason psychologically, Sean S. Cunningham stated, “…he doesn’t have any personality. He’s like a great white shark. You can’t really defeat him. All you can hope for is to survive.” Since Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives, Jason has been a “virtually indestructible” being. Tom McLoughlin, the film’s director, felt it was silly that Jason had previously been just another guy in a mask, who would kill people left and right, but get “beaten up and knocked down by the heroine at the end.” McLoughlin wanted Jason to be more of a “formidable, unstoppable monster.”…” –Wikipedia
Rob Zombie’s Halloween Michael Myers 18″
A common characterization is that Michael Myers is evil. John Carpenter has described the character as “almost a supernatural force – a force of nature. An evil force that’s loose,” a force that is “unkillable” Professor Nicholas Rogers elaborates, “Myers is depicted as a mythic, elusive bogeyman, one of superhuman strength who cannot be killed by bullets, stab wounds, or fire.” Carpenter’s inspiration for the “evil” that Michael would embody came when he was in college. While on a class trip at a mental institution in Kentucky, Carpenter visited “the most serious, mentally ill patients”. Among those patients was a young boy around twelve to thirteen years-old. The boy gave this “schizophrenic stare”, “a real evil stare”, which Carpenter found “unsettling”, “creepy”, and “completely insane”. Carpenter’s experience would inspire the characterization Loomis would give of Michael to Sheriff Brackett in the original film. Debra Hill has stated the scene where Michael kills the Wallace’s German Shepherd was done to illustrate how he is “really evil and deadly”… —Wikipedia
