[Random Cool] Zombie Gameboy, A Horror Short, A Game Spoofs And A New Horror Magazine
Flickr user Kodykoala has posted a series of photos displaying his latest creation, the “Zombie Gameboy“. He needs batteries and will do anything to get them…
One of my good friends, and popular horror artist D.W. Frydendall, has put together a special feature for Crackle entitled “Kill Count“, a look a 30 stomach-turning, blood-dropping, gut-spilling horror movies! Go interact now!
A new horror zine I’ll be checking out later this month is Diabolique Magazine, a lavishly illustrated, full-color magazine that explores horror in both classic and contemporary film, literature, theater, history & art. You can get started with Issue No. 6 now available on the official website. The special collector’s issue is dedicated to the late Vincent Price.
A “family fun” video has just landed on Game Trailers that comes from our friends at Destructoid. “The Halloween season begins as Ash pulls the fam together for some ‘Left 4 Dead’ style sacrificing.” The short is a reenactment of the awesome “Left 4 Dead”. Watch it inside.
G4 is getting into the holiday spirit with their very own “Epictober Film Festival” that kicks off today with “The Hunt,” a terrifying tale of horror that mashes up old-school suspense with the Nintendo classic “Duck Hunt”. Check back tomorrow to G4, at 9 AM EST for the Festival’s Centerpiece Showcase, Drew Daywalt’s “Kart Driver.” And on Wednesday at 9, enjoy the festival’s Closing Selection, Gregg Bishop’s “The Birds of Anger,” a horror take on Angry Birds in which the birds are very, very angry.
Speaking of Drew Daywalt, the short filmmaker has launched a game for Camera Obscura that’s now available in iTunes and Android marketplaces. The “Camera Obscura” mobile game will follow a story line consistent with the popular horror web series previously distributed on programming destination site Daily Motion.
Described as “Ted meets ET,” David Mikalson’s raunchy comedy Goblin is being brought to life over at A24, and Will Forte (“The Four Seasons”) is now in talks to star.
Deadline first reported the news this afternoon.
Kenneth Branagh has been cast to voice the titular Goblin in the upcoming A24 movie, with the character said to be “green-colored” as well as “anatomically correct.”
Skyler Gisondo (Superman) is reportedly playing the Goblin’s human best friend.
The mysterious project sounds a bit like films including A Gnome Named Gnorm and more recently, Frankie Freako, though it’s important to note that it’s not billed as a horror movie.
Deadline details, “After [Mikalson] hatched the idea to make an outrageous buddy comedy about a goblin, using a practical puppet and operating outside the Hollywood system, his script quickly got him a rep team. While others might have eyed the raunchy comedy as a writing sample or planned to wait to see the micro-budget version Mikalson has been directing in Kentucky, A24 jumped all over it. The hot indie essentially has agreed to finance a full feature.”
“There was a lot of interest, but A24 came with what Mikalson really wanted, after spending all his money crafting the puppet title character: they acquired the movie and agreed to let him make it with a significantly increased budget than what he had left after creating the anatomically correct title character,” Deadline’s report goes on to explain.
What does the titular Goblin actually look like? Well, a cake that Mikalson had whipped up for his reps might give us our first look at what to expect. Deadline explains the photo you’ll see down below, “Take a look at the cake he commissioned with Marc Gravelle at Cake Art in West Hollywood, to present to his reps as thanks for making his dream come true.”
