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 tr...

Some movies are worth waiting for... even if it takes you 30 years... In an isolated research camp in Antarctica, the residents are surprised when a Norwegian helicopter chases a dog towards their camp.  Their surprise becomes bafflement when the helicopter opens fire on the dog before crashing and exploding. Such a simple start to their journey from bafflement to paranoia, and finally to terror... Jay has often bugged me about NOT having seen John Carpenter's " The Thing ", since it's one of his favorite films. I freely admit that I deserved the ribbing and ridicule.  In my defense though, I wanted to own the movie as part of my collection before watching it.  After 30 years, I finally managed to buy it and watch it. I can completely understand why it's one of Jay's favorite movies.  The concept, and the story are interesting, and well crafted.  The pacing is great, with the tension and engagement growing with each word said, look giv...

Space is a big, wonderous place. Unless you're in a horror movie that is... Unknown to the world, the cancelled Apollo 18 mission of 1974 did occur.  Three astronauts went to the moon on a secret military mission, only for things to go horribly wrong.  This is their footage... and their terrifying story ... I wanted to see this movie because of the premise: Astronauts go to the moon, and discover we are NOT alone. The story was blah.  The story was dull.  The story was boring. The characters were blah.  The characters were dull.  The characters were boring. The actors were blah.  The actors were dull.  The actors were boring. The aliens were blah.  The aliens were dull.  The aliens were boring. The movie was blah.  The movie was dull.  The movie was boring. I think you can guess where this movie's going... Yep.  Right into " The Ugly "

Sometimes, there comes along a movie that just fills you with amazement, awe, and wonder.  " Galaxy Invader " is one of those films. After a strange object crashes in the backwoods of a small American town, a young man and a scientist embark attempt to reach it- and it's alien occupant... before a money seeking posse gets there first. .. This movie filled me with amazement.  Amazement that it EVER got a green light to be made (even if it WAS direct to video).  It filled me with awe.  Awe that even a low budget movie could have such horrible acting.  It filled me with wonder.  Wonder at the fact that this movie still exists on DVD. I mean it.  It's just a horrible movie.  The special effects are crap- even for a cheesy 1980's movie.  The acting was just outlandish.  The camera work was pitiful- though I do like the shot at the top of this article.  The characters were just inane, and didn't induce any feelings other than, "ki...
