The CCD Podcast: Episode #30.5 - Cabin in the Woods Mini Movie Review or 'Watch This... The Best Original Horror Movie In The Last 20 YEARS!!!"


So a perfect bow on the month of October here at CCD would have to be a ".5" episode honoring what Rob & I feel like is one of the best original horror movies of the last 20 years... Cabin In The Woods! Drew Goddard & Joss Whedon drive home a great film, and we thought we needed to bring it up to give the movie it's proper due. Just a nice little way to wrap up the 2014 All Horror Week here at CCD, and an excuse to watch one of the great horror movies of not only the last 20 years but possibly the next 20 years... Whedon, I am your slave!!!! Enjoy the podcast after the jump, and head over to Itunes so you can Subscribe, Download, Listen and SHARE on your favorite form of social media... Happy Halloween folks!!!

Lockheed Lee & The Filthtee Crew End Inktober With A Bang...


Our web designer and all around Asian Sensation Lockheed Lee is multi-talented, way beyond his skills at making this page look great. He is an artistic talent as well, and he has a hand in designing some really cool shirts for Filthtee. In celebration of Ink-Tober (a month long drawing contest where people must draw a new image every day using ink) Lock and the Filthtee gang have been posting their awesome pics on Facebook & Instagram, and they are giving the originals away. I was lucky to bag one of Lock's Bane sketches, and it is great. So when he finished the month up with Jason Vorhees (and an awesome one at that), I new we had to feature it for Halloween. Make sure you check out all their stuff over at the Filthtee Facebook page, the Instagram page, their Twitter page, and the Filthtee website itself. happy Halloween from Lock & The Filthtee Family. Enjoy the Jason after the jump...




The CCD Podcast: Episode #30 - The "Halloween" Retrospective Part 4 or 'Rob Zombie Is Re-Making Halloween??? Great!!!... or Great???"


So we have worked our way through three fantastic episodes of the CCD Podcast in our 'Halloween' Film Franchise retrospective and we are coming to and end with Part 4. In this one, Jedi Rob and his Halloween cohorts Kristen Grillo & Steven Graves tackle the two Rob Zombie re-makes/re-imaginings in one final visit to Haddonfield. These two films cause quite a bit of controversy among fans of the film series, and it leads to quite a funny episode between the three CCD Myers gang to bring this retrospective in full circle. A perfect way to end this month & 2014 All Horror Week , landing to an episode release on Halloween itself!!!

Buckle Up, Buttercup: Jack Burton & The Crew Are Coming To Pop! Vinyl....


"Tall guys, weird clothes...  First you see him, then you don't"... Yup, good old Jack Burton. One of the bets characters in one of the best movies you never expected to be great. So much fun, John Carpenter's 'Big Trouble In Little China' is a really great Sci-Fi/Horror/Action romp that has carved out a niche in the movie world that lots of people love. So when I hear that Funko Pop vinyl toys is bringing out 6 figures this February honoring some of the characters, I was head over heels... and here is why! Even 25+ years later, the movie finds a home through the characters. I am also currently reading the comic series from Boom! Studios that continues the movies story, and the reason I am really happy for this line is that after they get these main characters out of the way they can come out with a series 2 featuring all the freaky monsters of the film! You hear me Funko.... get cracking, I need that wild bear monster now! Check out which five characters  joined Jack on the Pork Chop Express from Funko, a perfect post Christmas gift for any Carpenter fanatic....

CCD Had It's First Art Show... And It Was A Perfect Way To Kick Off All Horror Week For 2014!!!


Wow... it came fast, and it went just as quick!!! CCD planned it's first ever art show... and boy was it a doozy! Monsters, Maniacs and Mayhem: A Black & White Tribute To The Golden Age of Universal Horror Films saw us pick 15 of the greatest Universal Horror movies of the 30s, 40s, and 50s and ask some of our most artistic friends to do their best rendition of the characters. The result? 14 amazing pieces (one artist, who shall remain nameless CHRIS, did not get his piece done in time) that came out insanely good!!! All the classics are represented, as well as some lesser known characters. We worked with some close friends of the CCD family (Tommy Lombardozzi, Lockheed Lee, and Joey Esq) as well as some new ones (Liza Biggers, Erle Tompkins, and Al Accettura)... but there was one thing that all the artists had in common: All the pieces were AMAZING!!!! We even got a show poster courtesy of Sean 'Create Ink' Hamilton, of the legendary League of Geekz podcast! Best part of the whole night was that 9 out of the 14 original pieces sold!!! An overall successful night, the first of many to come from this new group of artists down with the CCD Fam. Thanks to the Irish Haven, all the artists involved, and all that helped out with this great event. We will have many more art shows to come in the future. Check out all 14 pieces after the jump... prints are available (8x10s for $10 bucks) for those who are interested!
