Frank Browning & Freddy In Space Bring Us Some Tasty Horror Themed Ice Cream Treats in Series 4 Of 'Ben & Jerry's Horror Ice Cream Flavors'

I have frequently talked up my buddy Johnny's excellent horror website, Freddy In Space. The thing that Johnny does that makes his site so fantastic is that he knows he is the small guy on the block... in other words, there are many horror based web sites that are corporate run and have much more access to things than he does. But what he lacks in funding and access he makes up for in originality... and boy does Johnny have originality by the ton. Johnny has come up with tons of original posts, and they are unique to his blog. That what makes the Freddy In Space experience so fantastic. This summer Johnny teamed up with artist Frank Browning to come up with some awesomely horrific tasty treats... well at least mock ups of them anyway. There have been three series so far. You can see them here, here and here. But now its time for round 4... and these are some great ones! Check out the new series after the jump, and stop by Johnny's page to have a very unique horror experience!!!!

Vintage VHS Box Art by Frank Browning For Freddy In Space

I have long extolled Freddy In Space as one of my favorite blogs on the 'Net, and by far one of the best horror blogs around. One reason is because my main man Johnny that runs the site is a gentleman and a scholar... lol. But the other reason is that Johnny embraces his role a s a little guy in a big industry, and he realizes that he can't compete with huge blogs for things like exclusive content and set visits. So he sets out to create some original content that is unique to his blog, and he does this by collaborating with very talented people. One of the people he is working with on some of these projects is Frank Browning. Browning is a very talented artists that creates magnificent retro style art with a very unique touch. So he was the perfect choice by Johnny to create VHS styled boxes for modern horror classics that obviously never have been released in VHS format. This is a really cool concept because one of the coolest aspects of renting videos was definitely browsing the boxes at your local mom & pop video store. I have chosen to watch countless movies through the years based on their VHS box art, so seeing some of my favorite modern horror movies getting the 80s retro box art treatment is fantastic. The thing I love about these has to be the various shots that are highlighted... it is not like modern DVD art that rely on one or two pictures, but rather 6-8 smaller photos that may not be of the most important elements from the movie. Take the Trick 'r Treat box for example, which chooses to highlight vampire Anna Paquin and some of the other lesser known characters on the cover and leaves main attraction Sam for a back of the box shot. I am eagerly awaiting round 2 of these, and Johnny has solicited requests in the comment section for movies we would want to see receive this treatment from Browning. Check out the first series after the jump, and get over to Freddy In Space and show Johnny & Browning some love....

    

Freddy In Space & Frank Browning Bring The Silver Shamrocks Halloween III Mask's To Life... For You To Make Jack-O-Lanterns Out Of!!!!

My main man Johnny runs a killer horror blog entitled Freddy In Space... you might have heard me talk about it a few times (wink wink) here on CCD. Anywho, the reason why Johnny's site is so boss is because he realizes that he is a smaller blog and he can never compete with a bigger blog that has cooperate sponsorship. He isn't getting invited to film sets or uncovering hidden stories. So what he tries to do is create as much original content as possible .. and due to the fact that he is an awesome dude, he makes quite a few friends along the way who help him do just that. One of these friends of his is Frank Browning, and they have collabed on some very creative things. But this newest collaboration certainly reaches all new heights. Frank has re-created the Silver Shamrock masks from Halloween III... you know, the ones that make the worms & snales come out of the faces of the kids in the movie! Yup that is the Pumpkin Head, Witch and Skeleton that lovers of the classic schlock movie know & love!!!! You can check them out after the jump, and even find a link so that you can download them in a full size to print out and make your own Jack-O-Lanterns out of. Check em out after the jump...
