Remember That Time Scooby-Doo Crossed Over With Twin Peaks? [VIDEO]

by Rebecca Pahle | 4:35 pm, May 2nd, 2013

No? It happened recently in Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated. Scooby falls asleep and finds himself in the Red Room, where the Man From Another Place (voiced by Michael J. Anderson, a.ka. the actor who actually played the Man From Another Place) shows up to warm him about… I don’t even know. I was too busy being terrified. If you’ve ever wondered whether animation and the presence of a goofy dog make the Red Room less creepy, the answer is yes, but only slightly.

Another Twin Peaks-inspired scene from later in the season—yes, two different episodes of Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated have had Twin Peaks homages—is behind the cut. I want to find the people responsible for this and shake their hands.

Guillermo del Toro’s Crimson Peak Just Got Itself a Chastain, a Cumberbatch, a Stone, and a Hunnam

by Rebecca Pahle | 12:55 pm, April 6th, 2013

One of the approximately half-a-dozen or so Guillermo del Toro projects I’m looking forward to (he’s a busy dude) is Crimson Peak, the director’s subversion of the gothic romance genre (with ghosts!). If that basic idea isn’t enough to grab you, del Toro’s gone and booked some really good actors: Jessica Chastain, Benedict Cumberbatch, Emma Stone, and Charlie Hunnam.

Guillermo del Toro On Writing Pacific Rim 2 and Haunted House Gothic Romance Crimson Peak. Are We Sure There Aren’t Two of Him?

by Rebecca Pahle | 3:59 pm, February 17th, 2013

Seriously. Pacific Rim is still in post-production. There being multiple Guillermo del Toros has got to be the only way he can do this many things at once, right?

In an interview with Total Film the busier-than-you filmmaker talked about Pacific Rim 2, which he’s currently writing (of course he is; this is Guillermo “Do ALL the movies!” del Toro we’re talking about) and shared some details on Crimson Peak, his first post-PR project.

How To Make a Witch Costume Less Cliché: Have a Prosthetics Artist For a Dad

by Susana Polo | 9:33 am, November 6th, 2012

Bryan Silva is a professional artist and sculptor, whose eleven-year-old daughter wanted to go as a witch for Halloween this year. Luckily, he knew just how to augment a black pointy had and a broomstick. With a terrifying facial transformation. And apparently this was just a test. After trying on the prosthetic, the family went out to buy the rest of the costume… without removing it.

Halloween. You’re doing it right. Here’s a before pic of Ms. Silva below.

Happy Halloween! Let’s Listen to Christopher Lee Read The Nightmare Before Christmas

by Susana Polo | 9:32 am, October 31st, 2012

I think Christopher Lee will simply read anything you put in front of him, which would explain the number of times I’ve suddenly heard his voice while listening to heavy metal about dragons. In this case, it’s Tim Burton‘s original poem describing the plot of The Nightmare Before Christmas, which has some differences from the movie (for example: no Sally, or Oogie Boogie). It’s still available as a kids storybook illustrated by Burton himself, where this animation is simply based on his designs. A good way to teach your kids vital vocabulary words like macabre.

The Goofiest Horror Movie Villains, For All Us Wimps to Laugh at

by Susana Polo | 1:13 pm, October 22nd, 2012

I’ve never been much of a horror movie buff, and this was never more clear to me than when my Film 101 professor announced that the second half of the semester would be on her particular field of research: movies that cause visceral changes in the viewer. I.e., the horrifying or revolting. And let me tell you: you don’t necessarily need a slick looking monster to get people to scream. Just look at The Tingler.

Ok, but seriously, what’s up with that lamp.

Ghostbusters Gangnam Style Works Frighteningly Well [VIDEO]

by Jill Pantozzi | 5:58 pm, October 20th, 2012

You may be ready to call the Gangnambusters on Psy and all related parodies but give this one a try. It’s the Ghostbusters theme mashed up with Gangname Style and for whatever reason, it totally works.

The Girls of Tumblr’s Monster Girl Drawing Challenge

by Susana Polo | 12:31 pm, September 12th, 2012

Drawing challenges (when artists vow to draw according to a set schedule or list of subjects) come and go on Tumblr, which is quite the visual blogging platform, but this one caught our interest tightly and wouldn’t let go. After all, girls don’t get to be the big, powerful, scary or inhuman monster that often.
