Guaranteed to the the highlight of your day, check out YouTube user CounterClockWise000′s absolutely hysterical Friday the 13th: A New Beginning remix.

The below video takes footage from Danny Steinmann’s insanely under-rated sequel and turns it into an epic tune.

[Saturday Morning Cartoon] “Regular Show” Invaded By ‘Zombocalypse’!

Here’s a Saturday morning cartoon treat from your pals at Bloody Disgusting!

While some of you may already be as obsessed as I am with Cartoon Network’s “Regular Show,” many of you may not be aware of its pure awesomeness. The show, now on Netflix Instant, has me revisiting all the previous seasons, which is where I came across this 2011 classic.

In the second season’s 19th episode “Grave Sights”, Mordecai and Rigby accidentally raise the dead during a movie night in the cemetery. The episode shows an insane amount of love for the horror genre, touching on our obsession over renting videos, our knowledge of the genre, how we collect rare gems and attend various conventions. It even gives an homage to Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead franchise with the “incredibly rare” director’s cut of “Zombocalypse.”

This is a very special 10 minutes of cartoon that should go perfect with your Count Chocula cereal this Saturday morning. Tell us what you think! READ MORE

[OMFG] There Was Almost A ‘Ghostbusters’ Dark Ride At Six Flags Back In The ’80s!!

Being that April Fool’s was just a few weeks ago, I couldn’t help but assume this was a joke on the level of mine from 2011. But it wasn’t, which makes the following story even more cruel… Six Flags Amusement Parks almost had a Ghostbusters ride! It was to be similar to the Toy Story and Men in Black rides that grace Disney and Universal, where the rider would become a Ghost Buster and shoot ghosts in a hotel that looked like a newly constructed “Haunted Mansion.” It was ingenius. And there’s dozens of concept art pieces to prove it. What I would have done for this (and another round of Slimer gum)… READ MORE

[Random Cool] Groovy Blacklight ‘Suspiria’ Poster For Your Bedroom

Speaking of Suspiria, “Bang! Media” artist Jeremy Wheeler has created a groovy new blacklight poster for the film via the Silver Screen Society.

About “Witch” – “a blacklight silkscreen print made in conjunction with Silver Screen Society’s month of Suspiria art series. The hand-drawn pen-and-ink artwork portrays both the ominous and terrifying portions of the lm in equal measure, with added detail dedicated to the unique architecture featured in the lm. Measuring 18”x24,” the 3-color print was screened with a unique blacklight process developed through multiple projects by the artist and printing studio VG Kids. When put under UV light, the already vibrant red turns an electric pink/magenta, while the green remains intense under both.

[Random Cool] Amazing Unused Life Magazine Photos From ‘Creature From The Black Lagoon’

Back in 1953 Life Magazine sent a photographer to the set of Creature From The Black Lagoon, and yet somehow these pics never made it to the actual magazine. But they’re fantastic, showing the technicolor vibrancy of the costume and really contextualizing the real world in which the illusion was constructed.

These color corrected copies come from Gammi Illustrations. In the film, “A scientific expedition searching for fossils along the Amazon River discover a prehistoric Gill-Man in the legendary Black Lagoon. The explorers capture the mysterious creature, but it breaks free. The Gill-Man returns to kidnap the lovely Kay, fiancée of one of the expedition, with whom it has fallen in love.

[Random Cool] This ‘Predator’ Motorcycle Helmet Makes You King Of The Concrete Jungle

There’s something about Predator that seems to bring out the best “Random Cool” stuff. From weddings to cosplay, there’s an element to the property that causes its fans to go all out. And perhaps the folks at MLO Moto were aware of such dedication when they designed this Predator motorcycle helmet. I’m not sure if $780 is an average amount to shell out on something to protect your skull at high speeds, but either way motorcycle inclined fans will probably find this to be a “must buy.”

Per Geekologie, “It’s built on an actual motorcycle helmet so it’s properly safety rated, but has been enhanced with a sculpted outer shell, a dreadlocks mullet, and even a tri-laser scope. Optional add-ons include a carbon fiber outer shell, tiny metal spears on the ends of the dreadlocks, and even a hyper-realistic airbrushed finish.

[Random Cool] Every Hitchcock Cameo In One Clip!

Now that those two iffy biopics are out of the way we can concentrate on the most important part of Alfred Hitchock, his films and his legacy. And his legacy wasn’t always as dour as his subject matter (which itself wasn’t always that dour). He was often known to make cameos in his films as sort of an easter egg to his audience. Today we have a supercut (via Retroist)

In fact he made cameos in 39 of his films, stating, “I always give a little thought to my appearances and come on as early as possible– don’t want to hold them in suspense for the wrong reason! I’ve been in all my films on and off. Missed a few. Only cancelled one.

Another ‘You’re Next’ Animal Invades Los Angeles Bus Shelter Ad!!

Back on Sunday we told you about the coolest viral campaign we’ve seen all year – Lionsgate had printed bus stop ads for The Big Wedding, only they were invaded by one of the “animals” from their forthcoming slasher You’re Next (review here), in theaters August 23.

While the ads had previously been reported across the New York area, an eagle-eyed reader in Culver City, California confirmed that Los Angeles is also being stalked by the killers from Adam Wingard’s You’re Next! Inside we have an insanely cool bus shelter ad for Tyler Perry’s Temptation that reflects yet another “animal” from the film. It’s unclear how old the Temptation photo is as the movie came out end of March, but these ads must have been up for a while. Lionsgate would not return our calls to comment. Special thanks to Bloody reader “Justin K.” for the the image and news tip!

In the slasher penned by Simon Barrett, “When a gang of masked, ax-wielding murderers descend upon the Davison family reunion, the hapless victims seem trapped…until an unlikely guest of the family proves to be the most talented killer of all.READ MORE

[Random Cool] Behind The Scenes With Sigourney Weaver As “Ripley 7″ In ‘Alien: Resurrection’!

I may strongly dislike Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s Alien: Resurrection as whole, but there are elements of it that I can certainly get behind. It’s a film brimming over with cool ideas.

One of those ideas was the failed “Ripley clones” that litter the first act of the film. studioADI have shared another great old-school video from their archives, this time showing Sigourney Weaver undergoing makeup and prosthetics as “Ripley 7.

One of the most effective scenes in ALIEN RESURRECTION was when Ripley confronts herself in the form of a failed, but still alive experiment. The scene was shot on two different days. On Day One we put her into the slant-board rig and blended her at the neck to an articulated silicone body. On Day Two, Sigourney, as Ripley, interacted with herself. We attached a replica of her head onto our mechanical body and puppeteered it from below to to help her emote. She was spectacular in the scene, at the end of which she torched the hero body into silicone jelly. Sad to see our animatronic go up in flames, but giving Sigourney an acting partner to play off made it worth it

[Random Cool] Watch Helen Hunt And Gwyneth Paltrow Vie For Laura Dern’s Role In ‘Jurassic Park’!

While Universal is banging the drum for the Jurassic Park 3D re-release – in theaters this Friday, April 5th – they’re having the talent involved with the film reminisce to major outlets about its’ 20th Anniversary. Here’s an interview Laura Dern and Sam Neill did for “The Today Show”, and there’s a cool look at what might have been! Still think Dern was the right choice for the role though.

It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s a nice little look at what could have been. I like Paltrow, but she was way too young and soft at the time to play Dr. Ellie Sattler. Head inside to check it out! READ MORE

[Random Cool] The “Walking Dead” Has More In Common WIth ‘Toy Story’ Than I Imagined!

John Wray has created a fascinating look at the similarities between “The Walking Dead” and the Toy Story franchise. The results are really quite something and have provided me with more entertainment than watching the show ever has.

“In the ongoing third season, Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and his fellow survivors continue to seek refuge in a desolate and post-apocalyptic world and soon discover that there are greater forces to fear than just the walking dead. The struggle to survive has never been so perilous. Season 3 also introduced new characters, including the Governor (David Morrissey) and fan-favorite Michonne (Danai Gurira), along with her zombie pets.

[Random Cool] Zombie Edition: Best Undead Convention Makeup EVER; Zombie Perfume; “The Walking Dead” Imagined As A ’90s Show!

The best zombie makeup job to ever walk the halls of a Comic-Con? Yes, I believe so! Freakmo blew my mind on Instagram with a series of photos from her recent excursion to the Perth Comic-Con, Sunday March 10th. “My face was made with Sculpt Gel (2-part silicone paste), acrylic nails, tooth enamel paints, the skin illustrator fx palette, and a few different kinds of fake blood,” she said. “We were swamped by people taking photos all day. Now I know how it feels to be a celebrity ;P” she joked. Check out a series of photographs inside.

Demeter has created zombie-themed scents for both him and her. Says the site: “So you’re a Zombie. Or you know a Zombie. And you might become a Zombie. Any way you slice and dice it, you’ll need different kinds of fragrance. Fragrances that can make the dead simply pass by without offending. Because only Demeter Fragrance Library could make a Zombie fragrance eminently wearable.” How does “Zombie for Him” smell like? “Think forest floor. Zombie for Him is a combination of dried leaves, mushrooms, mildew, moss and earth.” As for “Her”: “A slightly lighter version of the Men’s fragrance with a touch of Dregs from the bottom of the wine barrel for that feminine touch.” Too bad their labels stink.

Keeping up with our Evil Dead Month here on Bloody Disgusting, YouTube user “Badideaonline” has shared a brilliant fan-made trailer for Sam Raimi’s The Evil Dead trilogy.

What you’ll see below is a trailer that takes footage from both The Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2, and then re-imagines it as if it were edited by today’s standards. It’s flashy, spoiler-heavy, and slams a bunch of preachy text across the screen. It’s amazing.

[Random Cool] Differences Between The Theatrical And Director’s Cuts Of ‘Army Of Darkness’ Detailed!

Army Of Darkness might have come in last in my Evil Dead Month Rankings, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like the sh*t out of it! Since there are so many editions of the film on home video, I’m sure you’re aware of some of the differences between the director’s cut and the theatrical cut of the film.

But Movie-Censorship.com has gone out of their way to provide you with the most detailed account of the differences between the cuts that I’ve ever seen. For example, “97 cuts in the theatrical version = 15 minutes and 12 seconds. 2 cuts in the Director’s Cut: = +10 seconds. 14 alternative cuts = theatrical version: +105.5 sec. / DC: 93.5 Sek = +12 sec. 3 recuts = +13 seconds. alternative ending = theatrical version: +155 sec / DC: 197 sec = 42 seconds.

We’ve been planning this for a while now and the entire Bloody-Disgusting team is incredibly excited to announce that March is EVIL DEAD MONTH here at the site! We know most of you are incredibly stoked for the upcoming remake from director Fede Alvarez (and producers Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert and Bruce Campbell), and so are we – it looks amazing! We plan on having a review when it plays next week at SXSW a full month ahead of its April 5th release date – along with exclusive interviews with the cast and crew – in addition to all of the other insanely cool stuff we have planned.

But Evil Dead Month isn’t just just about the remake. In fact, I’d wager that most of the material you’re going to see here during the next month will focus on the original films (Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2 and Army Of Darkness). As a team we’ll be talking about our favorite moments from them, why they work, what their key differences are and the overarching mythology of the franchise. Not only that, but you’ll be getting plenty of [Random Cool] installments featuring long forgotten artifacts from the Evil Dead era of the 80′s. Not enough for you? How about revisits to the old video games and soundtracks? Yeah, we’re doing everything.

Also, we’ll be running a “Deadite Of The Day” contest. We’ll make a more formal post in the coming weeks with all of the rules and regulations, but get your fan art, pictures of your Evil Dead trophies or even original YouTube videos ready. Whatever makes you a true deadite, really. We’ll feature a winner every weekday from March 25th – April 7th.

[Random Cool] An Incredible Look Behind-the-Scenes Of ‘Wolf’

I just had my mind blown, thanks to effects house studioADI.

The company, who releases all sorts of awesome never-before-seen footage from behind the scenes of older genre films, has shared an astounding piece of work from Mike Nichols’ 1994 Wolf, which starred Jack Nicholson and Michelle Pfeiffer.

At ADI we pride ourselves on our realistic eye mechanisms. Even at their most basic they can get pretty complex,” says ADI. “Director Mike Nichols wanted a sustained close-up on a wolf’s eyes for the movie WOLF. Here’s how we approached the challenge: pupil dilation.

[Random Cool] Beauty Shop Scare Echos Hilarious Elevator Prank

Scaring people and hosting the video on YouTube is all the rage – and the last time we took our sweet time everyone on the planet scooped us on the infamous “elevator prank.”

Now, Jonny B. caught wind of the next big freakout, “Beauty Shop Scare,” and we’re rushing to get it to you first.

In the video, a hidden camera prank scares the living hell out of unsuspecting customers at a beauty shop. What happens when the mirror is replaced with a 2 way mirror and a possessed girl is placed behind it? When customers check themselves out in the mirror, the scary girl’s image appears on top of their reflection. This video features some of the best reactions.

It’s unclear if this is a top secret viral for CBS’ The Last Exorcism Part II or not, but if it is, a standing ovation is in order. READ MORE

[Random Cool] Collect Evil Japanese Spirits In First “Shuonan” Collectibles Line!

After a frustrating bout with the press release I nearly just ignored this story, but these resin statues out of Japan are just too cool to ignore.

Skeleton Key Figures is a production house specializing in the creation of highly detailed action figures and collectable statues based in Osaka, Japan. Established in 2011, they aim to produce premium quality limited edition figures. All of their figures are resin cast and hand painted in Japan.

Shuonan is their forthcoming series of five “Yurei” or Japanese ghosts. Each of the five figures is based upon a traditional Japanese ghost story. The ghosts will only be available in a strictly limited edition of 250. All figures come in with a large detailed base and a thorough explanation of the ghost story in both English and Japanese.

Japanese ghosts, or Yurei, are the restless souls of the departed that are unable to find peace in the hereafter. They linger on in this realm, driven by powerful emotions; such as rage, sorrow, or devotion. Yurei are often malevolent spirits, seeking vengeance on those that wronged them in their mortal life. Yurei typically appear in the hot months of summer, especially around Obon; the Japanese festival of the dead. “Shuonan” refers to a sactuary for sprits where malice can be paid back to their enemies.

[OMFG] Jamaican High School Closed After “Demonic Possession”

Some hilarious news was just sent to us by “Peter Pumpkin Eater” who caught wind of an article in the Jamaican Star that alleges that classes ended prematurely at a Corporate Area high school last Thursday following reports that there were demons at the institution, one of which possessed a female student.

“The demon revealed himself and discouraged other students from praying for the possessed girl warning them that if they disobeyed he would leave the girl’s body and enter theirs instead,” the magazine reported.

“It was also understood that fear hung over the institution forcing the school’s administration to seek the assistance of a special prayer team that specialises in demon possession. The prayer team is from a nearby church. When the team arrived, they were reportedly greeted by a group of Baptist pastors who were eager to lend their assistance to rid the school of the demons. Subsequently, the school’s administration summoned students to a general prayer assembly feeling confident that the scare had ended but they were in for a surprise.

The pastors said dem feel the evil spirit all over the school so they called the school population to an assembly. In the middle of assembly, suddenly out of the ceiling, a bird’s head, cut off from the bird, drop down inna the middle of the assembly. It was chaos after that,‘ a source who witnessed the incident said.

The school’s vice-principal was reluctant to elaborate on what transpired at the school on the day of the incident and downplayed it as something minor. ‘That’s something at the school. I’m not going to disclose what took place. Whatever took place was not something drastic. Whoever told you should have given all the details,‘ she said.”

Why wasn’t my school this interesting?!
