Halloween Day by Day: Top Five Horror Funko Pops I Want


If you're a collector, then you're all aware of what Funko Pops are- "cute" little figures based on all sorts of movie, television, and comic book characters.  Well, I've compiled a list of the Top Five Horror Funko Pops I Want...

Alien Face Hugger-  Let's start with one from one of my favorite franchises: "Aliens".  The Face Hugger is an iconic alien terror that brings tremors of fear to pretty much anyone that thinks about what it does to you.

But hey, it's also giving you free hugs, so it's not ALL bad... right?

I don't think a collector of "Aliens" merch would wish to NOT have this one in their inventory.

And let's face it... it's kinda cute... in a creepy sort of way, right?

Right

Ash-  Seriously, given my love of horror and comedy, you all had to expect that Ash from the "Evil Dead" franchise would be on this list.

This one just looks really cool, with Ash bearing his trademark boomstick and chainsaw.  I also really like the way the blood splatter looks on it.

I have two other "serious" Ash figures that I think this one would look great standing among as the forces of the Deadites advance towards me from the shadowy pages of the Necronomicon.

And- it's still cute.

Pennywise-  This is actually a two for one item on this list, as I want BOTH the classic Tim Curry version, and the newer Bill Skarsgard version.  The actors really made Pennywise scary and entertaining at the same time.

When it comes to Stephen King horror, Pennywise is one of his greatest creations- and the movies have been just amazing.  It's just a great character that brings the fear of clowns that people have to vibrant life.

Besides, every horror collection needs a few creepy (but still cute) clowns lurking behind a red balloon... or over their computer monitor in the dead of night as they write articles like this...

Michael Myers-  Who could forget my boi, Michael Myers, eh?  No one!  I must admit that this one- while still... cute... is actually a little more un-settling than the others on this list.  It's the way they did the eye holes of the mask.

But I love it none the less.  This is definitely one that I would proudly display on my desk with all the other macabre and spooky items I've collected over the years.

Just not sure how long I'd be able to sit writing with that "blank, pale, emotionless face... and the blackest eyes... the Devil's eyes..." staring at me silently watching me...

The Wolfman-  Being a lover of older horror movies, I felt it would be appropriate to include a classic Universal Studios Monster on this list.   You'd expect Dracula, or Frankenstein, right?  Well, I want the under appreciated Wolfman.

I really just like the way they did his pants, and the hair on this figure.  It's just a fun and cute one to have.  I always enjoyed how his hair in the movie was always nicely combed back and looked styled.  Makes me smile.

Though, I wouldn't be overly surprised if in the middle of a moonlit night, I heard little, high pitched wolf howls.

So, there we have it- my Top Five Horror Funko Pops I Want.  Do you have any you'd like to recommend I add to my collection?  Let us know!

Grave Questions: Jessica Cameron

February is " Women in Horror Month "- a month in which to celebrate the impact that women have had on the genre and the industry- from writing, to acting, to directing and producing. Jessica Cameron has experienced the industry in all those capacity- making her a perfect choice for me to ask some " Grave Questions " of in order to raise awareness of the great women in Horror. Please not that this article SHOULD'VE been posted in February, but due to technical difficulties, we're putting it up now.  Thank you. TCoT :   Which female horror stars helped to inspire you to not only enjoy the genre- but to get involved in bringing scary movies to the world? Jessica :  I literally said to my " Truth or Dare " producer, "If the Soska sisters can make " Dead Hooker in a Trunk " with nothing, then I can make " Truth or Dare ".  So needless to say that those girls have been a huge inspiration in everything I do behind the

Meridian: Kiss of the Beast (1990)

Sometimes, a director/producer will surprise you- such was the case during " Terrorpolooza 2012 " when I watched Charles Band's " Meridian: Kiss of the Beast " Catherine Bomarzini has come home after her father's death.  Needing company, she asks Gina to stay with her.  Soon, the two meet a wondering troupe of performers that Catherine invites to dinner at her castle. Catherine find herself pulled into a love triangle and an ancient curse that only she can break. After watching movies like " Evil Bong ", and " Demonic Toys ", I really wasn't expecting too much from this Charles Band movie- but I was pleasantly surprised by it. The story is actually quite interesting with lots of potential for eerie scenes, and character development.  It's a nice twist on the classic " Beauty and the Beast " story.  It's a bit slower than most of Band's other works, but moves smoothly and draws you with it. I have to ad

The Phantom of the Opera

  Not too long ago, I reviewed the silent horror classic, "Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror", and wound up being in the mood to view a few other of the silent horror films in my collection.  The next one I watched was "The Phantom of the Opera", starring Lon Chaney, Sr, and released in 1925.   A mysterious stranger has been threatening the star singer of the Paris Opera House- someone who has signs his letters simply as, "The Phantom".  This stranger wants to clear the way so his protege, Christine Daae can ascend to stardom herself.  Soon, her love for the Comte de Chagny collides with The Phantom's desire for Christine forcing both to take drastic actions in order to be with the one they love. " The Phantom of the Opera " actually underwent three periods of re-shoots and editing, due to poor reception and test viewings.  In 1930, a sound version was created- often assumed to be what is called "The Eastman House Print".  It is
