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!

Zombie Bikers From Detroit (2001)

Over the years, it has been shown that with very little money, a skillful director can put together a high quality horror movie (John Carpenter's " Halloween ", " The Blair Witch Project ", and " Paranormal Activity " being a few of them).  So, when it comes to determining a movie's quality, budget is no longer a negative... Ken and his mother have moved from Hell, Michigan to Grosse Pointe near Detroit.  Upon his arrival, he meets the lovely Courtney, and her jealous suitor Chad.  While Ken and Chad square off, an evil is growing within Detroit and slowly spreading towards Grosse Point... where Ken will meet his destiny ... This week's " What Movie Wednesday " winner was " Zombie Bikers From Detroit "- a low budget horror movie that feels like it was put together as a school project.  High School, or College... I can't really tell. The premise- as stated in my little synopsis is interesting- as was the title.  ...

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...

Demon Seed (Dean Koontz)

  Susan has withdrawn from the world  after her divorce from her abusive husband.  Her mansion contains state of the art household automation.  She is secure from the dangers of modern Life.  She is safe from an unsafe world... Too bad her mansion had other ideas... The idea of a Alexa/Siri controlled house going haywire may sound like something written within the past decade, but you might be surprised that Dean Koontz actually wrote this book back in 1973. That's right.  Just five years after " 2001: A Space Odyssey " hit theatres, Koontz wrote this book brining HAL to a more personal level, while predicting the advent of programs like Alexa and Siri. This book is actually a pretty quick read at 301 pages.  The story progresses and builds at a steady and fast pace.  The writing is smooth and seamless as the tension and events unfold before you.  I lost track of time as I turned page after page.  I loved that this book was written from ...
