Christopher Lee 90th Birthday: 90 Reasons The Horror Icon is Awesome
24 May 2012 1:58 PM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
On May 27, British film icon Christopher Lee turns 90 years old. In his long and storied career, he's delivered countless fantastic performances in everything from medieval adventures to gothic scary stories. (You may know him as Saruman, Count Dooku, the Man with the Golden Gun or even Count Dracula.) And he has no plans to slow down, as indicated by recent roles in the Oscar-winning"Hugo" and this month's "Dark Shadows" -- not to mention an upcoming return to Middle Earth with this December's "Hobbit." Lee is not just an actor, but a decorated military man and bombastic heavy metal singer, with a crazy family lineage to boot. To celebrate the legend's 90th birthday, we present 90 reasons why Christopher Lee is awesome. 1. He's the step-cousin of "James Bond" creator Ian Fleming, and was the author's first choice to play Dr. No in the film adaptation. 2. He's in the Guinness Book of »

Doctor Gash's Tip of the Scalpel: A Tribute to Doug Jones
3 May 2012 11:00 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
I was lucky enough to sit down with the great Doug Jones last month to talk about John Dies at the End and a potential reunion with Guillermo Del Toro for a dream Frankenstein project. The great thing was, the interview went so well, I had a ton of extra material that wouldn't fit in the original piece. What to do, what to do?
Then the answer became obvious, take the rest of the interview and turn it into the first ever Doctor Gash Tip of the Scalpel, Interview Edition. So it's with that I offer a much deserved Tip of the Doctor Gash Scalpel to one of the most unique talents in Hollywood, the incomparable Doug Jones.
Of course much of the interview had to deal with Dougie's experiences in make-up, as he has such a gift of bringing an F/X artist's vision to life in ways unique just to him. »

Hollywood legends: the TCM Classic Film Festival
11 April 2012 4:28 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
At this Los Angeles film festival, movie buffs wallow unashamedly in nostalgia and the golden era of Hollywood, and get to meet the odd star of the classic films being screened
Hollywood Boulevard was closed to traffic and the crowds were gathering outside Grauman's Chinese Theatre to spot the stars – Peter O'Toole, Tippi Hedren and Mickey Rooney among them – as they walked the red carpet and filed past hundreds of famous foot and handprints for the premiere of Gene Kelly's 1951 film, An American in Paris. Fans cheer and cameras flash.
At the TCM Classic Film Festival stars from yesteryear rub shoulders with paying guests who made their way past the pair of giant Chinese Ming Heavens dogs guarding the main entrance of the 85-year-old picture palace.
Home to the biggest film premieres in Hollywood since 1927, the theatre interior rises 90 feet to a bronze roof, two coral red columns sitting »
The Rotten Truth: Hey, Universal, Give Other Monsters a Chance, or, An Argument Against the Mummy Reboot
7 April 2012 8:15 PM, PDT | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »
There’s a mug currently sitting in my garage. One of those kitschy collectibles that you couldn’t serve a cup of coffee in, it’s too big and clumsy, so its purpose is nothing other than to sit on a shelf and look gaudy. And I do mean gaudy. This mug features a sculpted image of Boris Karloff as The Mummy. The color scheme is weak. Situated inside the mug, at its base, is some blue “Egyptian artifact.” I can’t tell what is, to be honest. Universal released the mug in the late-‘90s and, out of the collection of mugs the studio released, it is certainly not the best one.
A friend recently commented on this mug – I was trying to sell the damn thing off during a garage sale – and we got to discussing The Mummy’s merit as a Universal classic monster. He liked The Mummy. »
Next On The Reboot List: 'The Mummy'
5 April 2012 4:09 AM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
When I say The Mummy, most of you are probably thinking the 1999 Brendan Frasier Indiana Jones style action flick. If you didn't make the connection with the 1932 Boris Karloff horror film, I don't blame you, as all the two really have in common is the same title. Audiences loved the very different remake, and the result was a franchise that was bringing in over $400 million per film. Now, Universal has decided to reboot the franchise, presumably taking it back to its horror roots. »

Emce Introduces “Jack Pierce” Toys
22 February 2012 12:29 PM, PST | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »
Emce Toys is teaming with Monsterpalooza horror convention in Burbank on a new series of handcrafted Mego-style exclusive Jack Pierce action figures, set for release at the event in April. The limited edition figures are 8″ tall, and arrive with a cloth barber’s tunic and “likeness-accurate” head sculpt. A small run of mini replicas of Pierce’s famous barber’s chair will also be produced for the show.
“With six, going on eight Mego-scale Universal Monsters we’ve designed for Diamond Select Toys, this is the perfect unique addition to any collectors’ Mego Monsters display,” said Joe Sena, president of Fourth Castle Micromedia, the parent company of Emce Toys. Diamond Select Toys has released four Emce-designed Mego monsters: Frankenstein, The Wolfman, The Mummy and Dracula. Two more, the Bride of Frankenstein and the Creature from the Black Lagoon, were recently unveiled at the New York Toy Fair. Prototypes of the »

New Jack Pierce Figure to Sculpt Horror at Monsterpalooza
21 February 2012 12:20 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Emce Toys, the brand that revived the classic Mego style 1/9-scale “retro cloth” action figures of the 1970s, is partnering with the Monsterpalooza convention to create limited edition handcrafted Mego-scale exclusives for the April 2012 event in Burbank, California.
To honor legendary Universal makeup maestro Jack Pierce, Emce is creating a very small number of 8” tall figures of Pierce, complete with barber’s tunic and likeness-accurate head sculpt. An even smaller number of Mego-scale replicas of Pierce’s famous makeup chair will be created as well. Pierce’s head was sculpted by Mike Hill, world renowned portrait sculptor and artist whose career runs the gamut from privately commissioned work to Hollywood blockbusters.
Monsterpalooza fans know Hill from his hyper-realistic statue of Boris Karloff being made up in Jack Pierce’s chair (on display
at the 2009 show).
The chair is a replica of the brand of barber chair that Pierce used throughout his career, »
