"Super-Deformed Style"

Straight from the cult status film Trick 'r Treat comes Sam, the enforcer of the rules of Halloween. Part pumpkin, part supernatural being, Sam shows no mercy to those who disrespect his holiday.

This Sam is presented in our signature super-deformed style. He may look child-like and dressed for trick-or-treating, but Sam is the personification of Halloween itself. He stands nearly 6" tall and features 5 points of articulation. He comes complete with his ever-present trick-or -treat sack, and his half-eaten translucent pumpkin lollipop.

Sam is packaged in a specially die-cut window box suitable for display. Just remember, he can watch you from inside the box, so don't blow out your pumpkin until midnight.

Mirage Men

One of the best documentaries I've seen on the subject of UFO's. The trailer makes it look like the same old stuff, but it's a fascinating look at disinformation and how lives have been absolutely ruined by it. You'll feel like Fox Mulder by the end.

Now available on Amazon Prime.

Evolution

Ridley Scott: As they enter the derelict, I wanted them to come up over the edge of something and into this vast chamber that's dominated by a huge chair. In preparing this frame of the storyboard, I went through Giger's Necronomicon and took this character, whom we call the "space jockey", because I wanted a fossil, almost, one which you'd have a hard time deciding where he leaves off and the chair, on which he died, begins. So here they are with this dead space jockey frozen in death to the weapon he was firing when he died. And he's kind of gargoyle-like and spooky. Sometimes we got very close to the films visuals in the storyboard.

HR Giger: From the script I knew he was huge and had a hole in his chest, but that was all. Ridley suggested another of my Necronom creatures as a guide. They don’t look much alike now, but it was a starting point; and the space jockey kind of grew up from there in bits and pieces. The creature we finally ended up building is biomechanical to the extent that he has physically grown into, or maybe even out of, his seat – he’s integrated totally into the function he performs.

Desiderii Marginis: Songs Over Ruins Reissue

The Casket

Here's to the folks who use real caskets in their displays.
The visual is always so unsettling to me. Most likely due to the fact that I've only really seen these at real funerals. And as a kid that was just way off the charts by way of comprehension. And you only really see those wooden toe-pincher coffins in old vampire movies so they evoke a totally different feeling when you see them in a Yard Haunt.

Got a really nice Christmas gift from Charred Walls of the Damned's founder Richard Christy.... finally got around to snapping a photo of it.
Love the design of it all. Comes with a folded wall poster of the album cover too. Gonna stick that on the wall in the basement workshop...
