Stop-Motion Short Brings Horror Icons Together for Ultimate Party

Published

Pumpkinhead sure does like his booze.

As much as we’d love to see all of our favorite horror icons share the screen in one epic mash-up movie, we just have to make peace with the fact that it’s never going to happen. Aside from rare “versus” films like Freddy vs. Jason and this year’s Sadako vs. Kayako, bringing together franchise stars is near-impossible due to those series’ being owned by different companies… but nobody can stop fans from dreaming. And when horror fans dream, they dream big.

Carson Griffin and his wife Teri run the company Sea Griffin Creations & Productions, and they’ve spent the past few years on a passion project titled Leatherface’s Pool Party. As Teri explained to us, the project originally started out as a song, but back in 2012 they gathered together all their horror action figures and decided to turn that song into a stop-motion music video.

The end result? The ultimate horror party.

In Teri’s own words:

My husband Carson Griffin wrote a song for our old band in 2010 called “Leatherface’s Pool Party” which was about exactly how it sounds: Leatherface throwing a pool party with every horror icon as a guest. Back in 2012 we decided to build a set in our garage, fill it with our horror toys, and attempt a stop motion version of this song.

We finally had a chance to sit down and go through the footage and put a rough version together with the song!

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
