It's Spooktober, a month full of candies and ghoulies. And for us — the ghoulie gang members, we have to perform the same ritual every year: hunting down cheap and weird Halloween goods. It can be toys, books or even accessories, we love everything freaky! We've been lurking various toy stores these past 2 weeks, and we managed to score some of these cool Halloween stuffs. Our most favorites are Knife Thru Head, Bone Go Thru Head and Blood Capsules toys. For ghoul's sake, look at those packagings: the colors are vibrant, the drawings look crappy, they definitely got those vintage Halloween toys vibe! And psstt, let me tell you a spooky secret. There will be some limited edition Halloween Unlucky Bags for sale, and we'll put some cheap toys inside. You might get a witch's finger, a blood capsule or even a rotten teeth maybe?
Knife Thru Head

Don't you all grew tired of Wednesday Addams clones lately? We do, actually. It's always good to put the fun back into funerals, but it's not all about black and white — try with more colors and patterns! We love watching old horror movies, the plots send shivers down our spines, some scenes gave us nightmares, the props are cool, and don't forget about the wardrobes. That's why we wrote this Dressed To Kill column, every now and then we'll recommend some of our favorite horror and thriller movies, for fashion's sake! But fear not, no spoiler alert.
What do we got here for the first article? Yes it's Rosemary's Baby, a 1968 psychological horror film directed by Roman Polanski, based on a novel by Ira Levin. Definitely one of our most favorites, a really creepy film with stunning visuals. We love everything about this movie: the story, the apartment setting and most importantly, Mia Farrow's wardrobes! The story is about Rosemary Woodhouse, who's going to have her first baby, but then she smells conspiracy between her husband and the neighbors. What you will get on this movie? A devil worshipping cult, a thrilling story, occult rituals and Rosemary's excellent fashion taste. And now what are you waiting for? Go to the thrift stores, get some vintage clothings and dress to kill!
I've never been a fan of block-style figures, maybe because as a kid I wasn't into collecting Lego figures. But one day when I was browsing the internet, I stumbled across this Japanese toy line called Kubrick (yes, the name is a homage to Stanley Kubrick). This line produces collectible block-style figures, most of them are characters from movie, comic, anime and video game. The figures are produced in limited numbers and not re-released, and that's what make it cool. But I wasn't impressed with most of them, until I saw the Universal Monsters figures. The series are based on horror movies made by Universal Studios, such as
Dracula (1931), Frankenstein (1931), The Mummy
(1932) andThe Wolf Man (1941), just to name a few.
Mad Monster Party!
But alas, the Universal Monsters series was already sold out years ago (the series was released in
2002). This sudden urge to possess all of them led me to the source of
evil named eBay, o' Lord please have a mercy on me! I think I got two or three figures with a reasonable price at first, but that
wasn't enough. After around three-month quest, finally I got 10 figures. I was amazed, because for a block-style figure, the details are amazing! I'm missing 2 figures actually, Dr. Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein (they are not monster-like, anyway). But I couldn't care less, the monsters are all here and it's a Mad Monster Party!
Quasimodo (The Hunchback of Notre Dame), The Mole People, Metaluna Mutant
(This Island Earth), The Creature (Creature from the Black Lagoon), Phantom of the Opera
Invisible Man, Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, The Mummy, The Wolf Man
And oh, speaking about Mad Monster Party, you know that 1967 stop-motion animated film? No? Then you have to watch it! We'll review the movie later, but as for right now, just enjoy the party!
