Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab Let’s Us Know What Neil Gaiman’s Coraline Characters Smell Like

by Jill Pantozzi | 2:20 pm, March 25th, 2013

Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab have created body and household scents inspired by Hellboy, Fraggle Rock, Labyrinth and more. Their latest pulls from Neil Gaiman’s delightful Coraline. “The Coraline Collection” is based on locations and characters from the book like Miss Spink and Miss Forcible, The Cat, and the Mouse Circus. BPAL writes, “This is a charitable, not-for-profit venture: proceeds from every single bottle go to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, which works to preserve and protect the First Amendment rights of the comics community.” And you might have noticed, the artwork for the collection was done by Eisner Award and Harvey Award winning cartoonist Vera Brosgol (creator of Anya’s Ghost).

8 Romanceless Movies and TV Shows to Watch on Valentine’s Day

by Rebecca Pahle | 12:28 pm, February 13th, 2013

Depending on whom you ask, tomorrow might be Valentine’s Day, Singles Awareness Day, or Day-Before-Discount-Candy-At-Duane-Reade Day. Like it or not, romance is a big deal tomorrow, at least if you’re in the States. And to, er, celebrate, I decided to write about movies and TV shows that don’t have any romance. Sadly, there aren’t as many of them as you might think.

8 Favorite Literary Horror Heroines

by The Mary Sue Staff | 12:30 pm, October 31st, 2012

Halloween’s about dressing up and eating candy (and, for many adults, getting incredibly drunk). But that doesn’t have to be all it’s about. Back in 2010 Neil Gaiman suggested a new Halloween tradition of giving away a scary book to a friend on that most spooky of holidays. Since then that basic idea has evolved into All Hallow’s Read, and we here at The Mary Sue are supporting it by highlighting eight of our favorite literary horror heroines. All of the books we’ve mentioned here—including one by Gaiman himself, which is only fitting—come with the TMS stamp of approval if you want to participate in the AHR tradition of book-gifting.

Just In Time for Halloween: Creepy Button-Eyed Coraline Makeup Video

by Susana Polo | 1:11 pm, October 15th, 2012

I’m not sure how much utility this video has as a makup tutorial, since I don’t speak Italian, but it certainly was cool to watch. Also I hope that’s not just regular old craft glue at the end. It is definitely a step up from the needle and treat the Other Mother usually uses, though.

Hollywood Is Making Neil Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book & A New The Jungle Book Film

by Jill Pantozzi | 12:55 pm, April 29th, 2012

I doubt there was any sort of discussion about these two projects being announced at the same time but I appreciate the coincidence nonetheless. Henry Selick, of Coraline and The Nightmare Before Christmas fame, is set to direct Neil Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book for Disney. The novel was loosely based on Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book which also just happens to be getting some new attention in Hollywood right now. Harry Potter screenwriter Steven Kloves will be writing and directing The Jungle Book for Warner Bros. Please let these movies come out at the same time so I can make a double feature out of them.

What To Do With a Scary Book

by Susana Polo | 10:17 am, February 24th, 2012

I think that’s the most wonderfully sensible treatment of a book that scares you I’ve ever heard of. – Neil Gaiman, on a reader’s response to his Coraline.

10 Hoopy Froods Who Really Know Where Their Towel Is

by The Mary Sue Staff | 12:55 pm, May 24th, 2011

On Towel Day, all of Douglas Adams’ fans are encouraged to carry a towel around with them, or to at least know where their towel is, following the great tradition of hitchhiking, traveling, managing, and adventuring laid out in his work. Naturally, this got us to thinking about all the hoopy (really together) froods (really amazingly together people) that we know in fiction that really know where their towels are. You know, the characters who you could drop off anywhere and anywhen in the space time continuum, and come back in an hour and they’d already be lounging in perfect confidence and opulence, and knocking back something highly alcoholic, on their towel (or towel equivalent). Because anyone who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still knows where their towel is, is clearly a person to be reckoned with.
