With the holidays looming, the horror news has come to a screeching halt. And because we never stop, we’ve been trying to mix in some random cool articles just to keep you guys entertained.

Thanks to one of my Twitter followers, Efrain Franco, we’re excited to share this hilarious gem that will kick your weekend off with a bucket of laughs.

As explained in the details, the following video originally ran on the “Today” show, in May, 1984. It’s a segment about a “haunted toaster.” Yes, a toaster so haunted that it burns “Satan lives” into the bread!

The uploader thanks Richard Dominick, the interviewer (and producer from Jerry Springer) who made this astounding moment in TV history possible, and to Boyd Matson, the reporter who produced and narrated the segment. READ MORE

[Random Cool] Back In 1987, Freddy Kruger Demanded Heavy Promotion For The ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors’ Home Video!

Released in theaters February 27, 1987, Chuck Russell’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors arrived on home video later that year to great hype. The first two had sold over 300k units (at the time the VHS copies were $100 and up), and home video distributor Media Home Entertainment was ready to give the franchise a major push.

I believe this may have been hiding on the original A Nightmare on Elm Street DVD box set as an extra feature (the bonus disc was a maze and it took hours to find everything), but Mr. Barkan brought it to my attention that it was now online. What we’ve posted below is Media Home Entertainment’s video rental promo that features Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger telling retailers why they must score some A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors units. It’s super hokey and cheesy, but it’s really cool to see what it was like back in the 80′s when distributors were trying to convince the almighty Blockbusters of the world to take their product.

With Showtime’s latest episode of “Dexter” airing tonight, we thought this little internet gem would brighten your Sunday morning.

Below we’ve shared “Dogxter”, “A parody of Dexter’s Morning Routine, takes an up-close-and-personal look a dog’s breakfast routine. The Pet Collective star “Jazzy” plays Michael C. Hall / Dexter, and really sinks her teeth into the role. Don’t worry folks, she didn’t actually eat all that food, though that would be an impressive undertaking for any dog.”

“I wanted this to be a simple, visual horror poem about being paralyzed by your own thoughts,” said Morgan. “Working with AJ Bowen was pure movie making bliss. He blends professionalism and good natured humor perfectly while on set, making everything more relaxed.”

Paul Gandersman also produces with Arcanum Pictures. Elizabeth Avellan (Predators) Executive Produced. Makeup effects were done by Doug Field and Susan Benson (Teeth, All the Boys Love Mandy Lane).

It’s not too late to show your Halloween sprit. Hopefully these treats get you in the pumpkin carving mood for Wednesday’s big night!

While you shouldn’t try this at home, we’ve shared a video that’ll teach you how to create a “Flaming Pumpkin”. “Design and carve the pumpkin out, then put a toilet roll inside and saturate with Kerosene, then set on fire. Should burn for a couple of hours and looks great!” says the YouTuber. Full instructions can be found by clicking through to the video source.

Grab your Power Glove (you don’t know what I speak of?) and get ready for a round of Pumpktris! “Pumpktris is a fully playable version of Tetris built into a pumpkin, with 128 LEDs for the display and the stem serving as a game controller!” AMAZING! Get more details on the mad scientist’s blog.

The pumpkin itself isn’t all that cool, but it’s pretty fun watching Auge de Vries carving through 400 individual frame-by-frame grabs.

We saved the best for last as you’ll want to take this video tour of Ray Villafane’s Zombie Pumpkin Garden at The New York Botanical Garden. The zombie intestines are incredible! READ MORE

Mizenscen shared an image of Tim Burton wearing a Halloween costume made by his mother. What’s so cool about this old snapshot is that it looks like the inspiration of Jack Skellington from the 1993 Burton-produced The Nightmare Before Christmas! Go mom!

Artist Edwin David (aka “dwinbotp”) imagines where the infamous Alien vs. Predator battle actually began. It all started with the candy, suggests his hilarious illustration.

Keeping the AvP conversation a float (and continuing to avoid using the name “Paul W.S. Anderson”…whoops!), New Zealand’s SKY TV created the following ads that depict the two famous monsters engaging in various activities, including a bout of Chess.

In the end, whoever wins, we lose! READ MORE

[Halloween Treat] ‘The Shining’ Edition! Trading Cards And The REAL Finale!

We have only one week until Halloween so I bet drop filling your bags with a few more treats!

This afternoon’s edition focuses on Stanley Kubrick’s legendary 1980 The Shining, in which a family heads to an isolated hotel for the winter where an evil and spiritual presence influences the father (Jack Nicholson) into violence, while his psychic son sees horrific forebodings from the past and of the future.

A bit of fun to kick off the post as we’ve added some faux 1980′s inspired trading cards created by blog site Maninthewarmestplacetohide. See the Grady Twins, the Sno-Cat, and a decomposed old woman!

In more interesting news, at the end of the film you’ll see a photo of Jack Torrance with the entire dinner party from years past. The Overlook Hotel has shared the original, unaltered period photo into which actor Jack Nicholson was composited to create the iconic photograph seen in the final shots of The Shining! According to the site, these images were found in a book entitled “The Complete Airbrush and Photo-Retouching Manual,” which was originally published in 1985. The author of the book was the retouching artist responsible for creating the composited image. READ MORE

Artists Mariana Fantich and Dominic Young of Fantich & Young have created a pair of men’s dress shoes called the “Apex Predator Shoes” (above) that look perfectly normal from a distance, until you turn them over and check out the soles. There you’ll find 1,050 teeth dentures glued on the bottom, with two gold teeth at the toes of the shoes, Yahoo discovered. At the link you’ll also see the “Apex Predator Suit” made out of human hair, more dentures, and glass eyes.

It’s time to check your horror knowledge with 34 Facts About Halloween Movies That Will Blow Your Mind. The list includes factoids such as Robert De Niro and Robin Williams having been in talks for the role of Jack in The Shining, or how about the fact that Tobe Hooper was originally going to call Texas Chainsaw Massacre Head Cheese?

Inside we’ve added “The Walking Dead Musical!” Where Zombies don’t only eat brains, but also sing and dance! Ben Chavez, Andrew Bridges, Elizabeth Oldak, Kelsey Schergen, Amanda Pinto, Nick Berke, Sommer Carbuccia, Joshua Israel and Antonius Nazareth all star. Vijay Nazareth directs this “Glee”-esque “Walking Dead” parody.

Lastly comes a behind-the-scenes look at a Predator Mechanical Head from Fox’s 2007 Aliens vs Predator: Requiem, vai studioADI. “In editing these videos we realized how little footage we have of mechanical heads without skins attached. That’s because usually by the time the animatronics are done, it’s fairly late in the build schedule, so skins get put on as quickly as possible, and often at about midnight, to be ready for painting by morning. We decided to peel the head skin off the “Wolf’s” face, and show you what goes on inside a Predator’s head!” READ MORE

We’ve been slowly compiling a bunch of Random Cool stories that have been festering on the Web. It all stars with one of the coolest art sets I’ve ever seen (hopefully the Government doesn’t find out the artist is defacing their property). In 2010, James Charles began drawing on dollar bills, for the sake of his own amusement; crudely altering the presidents’ faces to become monsters, celebrities, etc. After accidentally spending a few of his early pieces, James decided to stop carrying them in his wallet, and started putting them inside of a magazine for safe-keeping. The magazine folder eventually became a large scrapbook, showcasing bills of all denominations. He found ink and materials to match perfectly what the U.S. Mint uses on the bank notes, and began to experiment with ways to alter the font and script along the bottom of the bills. It became the perfect way for James to inject an additional layer of wit. Inside we’ve added Freddy Krueger (from A Nightmare on Elm Street), a Facehugger (from Alien), Regan (from The Exorcist), and The Terminator (from T2)!

Cube Works makes art out of Rubik’s Cubes. This dude snapped a gallery photo of the latest creation… Frankenstein!

PseudoDad, aka Evan Stoskopf, who blogs life in Iowa with his husband and three kids, has shared his “Zombie Family Portraits.” “About a year ago, the family decided to get a portrait shot of us. But the photos needed to be unique,” he explains. “I remember growing up and being forced to sit still and take boring photos with the entire family. My dad had to bribe us and one of my siblings ended up crying. Every. Single. Time. But not this time. Not in this family. We needed Zombies. There is no crying when it comes to zombies. Unless they are eating your face. And I’ve seen enough zombie movies to avoid getting my face eaten. Below is the result of Ashley’s hard work at Luke Austin Photography.”

A new app has just been launched called Zombie Invasion, which aims to show people where the undead’s locations are, giving users an insight to where they can seek refuge or begin a zombie killing spree. “Ever wondered what human flesh tastes like? Use the map to find the towns and cities near you that are beyond help and infested with spooky subhumans! It’s up to you to keep track of the zombulation… Use the map to save yourself! The zombie heat map is the only way you can keep track of the infestation from Newcastle to Newquay. Zoom in on your region and find out just how bad the damage is in your local area using the key provided! You might just have enough time to prepare yourself…”

Lastly comes a kinda of cool Freddy Krueger toilet tank cover that was shared by LikeCool. Looks like there are going to be quite a few nightmares on Elm Street, eh?

One of the coolest videos to circulate online comes via a Finnish group Fragile Childhood (shared by izismile.com/ and discovered by BadassDigest). As teased above, it’s a PSA that shows parents who drink how their kids may perceive them when their drunk. It’s a frightening video that may actually knock some sense into boozin’ p’s who need to slow down a bit. Drinking can be fun, but when you have a child you have new responsibilities. (Time to grow up!)

Lastly, and easily the coolest, comes via Murat Palta out of Istanbul, Turkey, who shared with readers a portfolio created for his graduation thesis. The art displays classic movies “miniature” style. “It all started 2 years ago with an experiment to blend traditional ‘oriental’ (Ottoman) motifs and contemporary ‘western’ cinema,” he explains. “After a positive response to “Ottoman Star Wars”, I decided to take the theme further, and developed more film posters using the same technique. Combining global with local, traditional with contemporary, and adding a bit of humor made it a fun and rewarding experience for me.” Check out some astounding pics below! READ MORE

I feel pretty safe in assuming that John Carpenter’s 1982 The Thing is somewhere in your top 10 list (if it’s not – please state your reason below.)

Which is what will likely make this video – via Badass Digest – of interest to you. I’m not a big action figure guy – not even for my favorite movies – but I like the idea of living in a world where a movie like The Thing gets a toy line. Kudos to whomever made this video.

In the 1984 Ghostbusters did you ever wonder what happened inside the fridge when Dana was sucked in?

Director Rico Maria Ilarde will answer the age-old question with Pridyider (The Refrigerator), a new horror comedy(?) about a haunted fridge. Yup. Starring Andi Eigenmann, JM De Guzman, Janice De Belen, Joel Torre, Ronnie Lazaro, Baron Geisler, Bekimon and introducing Venus Raj, we’ve landed the official trailer (no subs though, unfortunately), along with an annoyingly long synopsis. It’s about a monster fridge, that eats people, what more do you need to know?! READ MORE

Although this originally ran back in 2011, I just caught it on television for the first time.

With zombies being all the rage, Starburst has brought back their undead commercial that makes a play on “contradictions” (one that bores a man “to death”, yuck yuck).

The term “living dead” is a contradiction. Starburst is a juicy contradiction. Send your pinks my way…

Bloody reader Henry Carter e-mailed us a link to the following video that’s the perfect video to show to someone you want to introduce to our beloved genre.

Youtuber kidziakandkeogh hosts the video that shares a whopping 163 Horror Movies in 2 1/2 Minutes!!

“So…there’s 163 different horror movies in this video,” explains kidziakandkeogh. “Repeat appearances I do not count separately. To clarify/confuse, all Nightmare on Elm Street clips count as 1, as do all Friday the 13th clips (totaling out to 2/163 films). However, I did count Freddy Vs. Jason as one tally, making it 3/163 films, but did not reward a +1 for the Nightmare On Elm Street remake. So if you think that’s bull sh*t and it should not count, then consider this 162 Horror Movies in 2 1/2 minutes. Also, you may count upwards of 190 different movies…if you do, that means you went through this frame by frame and need to go outside more. The other 28 films, I do not count because they consist of 2 or less frames. I am only counting the films that appear for 3 frames or more.”

Supercuts rule. It’s the ultimate proof that some of us have way too much time on our hands, while also creating something extraordinary out of nothing.

YouTuber johnnylloydrollins, along with his friend Jerem Morgan, have created a 2-minute long supercut of Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) saying “Oh My God” on Fox’s “The X-Files”.

There’s at least 120 “Oh My God” clips that’ll have you clawing at your ears and wondering what kind of monster created it. Maybe the “Smoking Man” knows?

YouTube user dondrapersayswhat has uploaded a video where he took 295 movie clips and organized them in such a way that they are reciting the lyrics to the infamous Sir Mix-A-Lot song “Baby Got Back”. It’s pretty damn entertaining to watch, if not a little spastic. It’s also really fun to see how many movies I can identify. When it comes to horror, I know I saw Army of Darkness, The Shining, Alien, Big Trouble In Little China (big props for using that movie), Seed Of Chucky, and I think I caught a glimpse of Killer Klowns From Outer Space.

Lucia Aniello of Above Average directs the following hilarious horror spoof that focuses on the beautiful Olivia Munn and her not-so busty breasts.

Entitled Ghost Tits, the faux trailer tells the story of a man whose life is turned upside down when his girlfriend’s breasts suddenly disappear. Oh the horror! See what happens when Munn’s breasts are there one day, and then gone the next – and all photo evidence is missing!

The sketch comedy comes from the brains of Paul W. Downs and Lucia Aniello a.k.a Paulilu (Paul-ē-loo). Olivia Munn, Downs, William Daniels, Joe Spellman, Joey Dembner, Echo Kellum and Jeff Lamb all star.

I love that the trailer ended with an official website link, WhereDemTitsGo.com, although a #WhereDemTitsGo would have been a mit more modern. Watch the video below, but don’t be disappointed when Munn’s breasts remain missing (we can dream). READ MORE

You can get Darth Vader, Pinhead or even Che Guevera as a tasty, life-like, frozen treat.
