Comic-Con ’11: NECA Will Swallow Your Soul: ‘Evil Dead’ Toys Revealed!
The timing couldn’t be any better for NECA to reveal their first wave of action figures based on Sam Raimi’s 1987 classic Evil Dead 2. As we first predicted back in May, the potential is off the charts with options for a handful of variants. The dudes at NECA know what they’re doing, which is proven in the following sneak peak images from the floor of the yet-to-open San Diego Comic-Con. What can you expect besides Bruce Campbell as good ‘ol “Ash”? How about the classic axe, shotgun, tape recorder, chainsaw, along with varient Ash faces (including a possessed Ash). It also looks as if they’ve got even more surprises up their sleeve (take a look for yourself!)
Also inside are some floor pics of NECA setting up diorama’s to support their forthcoming line of new A Nightmare on Elm Street figures. This way to the boiler room!

The next V/H/S installment is on the way, this time from producer Roy Lee (Weapons, IT), and it’s landed on its new theme.
Spooky Pictures and Image Nation are teaming to produce V/H/S: SCP, Variety reports, and it’ll be the first feature-length addition to the online collective fiction project, the SCP (Special Containment Procedures) Foundation.
The SCP Foundation began in 2008 as a collaborative digital project and has since grown into one of the largest fan-driven horror and sci-fi universes online. You can get acquainted with the SCP Foundation via Bloody FM’s SCP Archives podcast.
V/H/S: SCP will be framed as “’recovered field documentation,’ or video evidence gathered, redacted, and archived by the secretive organization. Standalone segments in the anthology will focus on different objects, entities, or events under the containment-breach narrative.”
Spooky Pictures is headed by genre veterans Steven Schneider (Insidious, Paranormal Activity) and Roy Lee (Weapons, IT). They’ll be joined by Josh Goldbloom (V/H/S/94, V/H/S/99, V/H/S/Halloween) and Michael Schreiber (V/H/S/94, V/H/S/Beyond) as producers.
“The horror genre continues to be a remarkable launchpad for new talent to share original creations, and the vast SCP universe has provided a vital incubator for this creativity to thrive,” Spooky Pictures co-founder Steven Schneider said. “Along with INS, this next project reinforces our shared commitment to look in new and unexpected spaces for stories. We can’t wait to expand the V/H/S franchise with new, fresh, and terrifying stories that will keep viewers coming back for more.”
V/H/S launched in 2012, followed by 2013’s V/H/S/2, 2014’s V/H/S: Viral, 2021’s V/H/S/94, 2022’s V/H/S/99, 2023’s V/H/S/85, 2024’s V/H/S/Beyond, and 2025’s V/H/S/Halloween.
The upcoming installment marks the ninth film in this franchise.
The SCP Foundation is a worldwide force dedicated to securing, containing, and protecting anomalies from people – At least according to the lore of the website.
