Mezco Fully Unveils Upcoming Classic Michael Myers “Living Dead Dolls”
The Halloween franchise has already made its way into the Living Dead Dolls line once, but that toy depicted Michael Myers from Rob Zombie’s Halloween 2. Mezco’s upcoming doll is based on Myers’ classic look in John Carpenter’s original slasher masterpiece; after being teased earlier this year, a full image gallery has now arrived!
“Straight out of the 1978 John Carpenter film ‘Halloween’, The Living Dead Dolls presents Michael Myers. Presented in his classic blue jumpsuit, Michael Myers features rooted hair and is equipped with his signature knife accessory. Michael’s dark eyes pierce through the all-new face sculpt of his iconic and expressionless white mask, reminding you that you can’t kill the boogeyman.”
Living Dead Dolls Presents: Michael Myers stands 10″ tall and features 5 points of articulation.
Expect this adorable terror in September-November.

Alice Cooper Joins the “Music Maniacs” Line from McFarlane Toys
When you hear the label “Music Maniacs,” a few names probably come to mind. And we’re willing to bet that one of them is Alice Cooper, who is indeed joining McFarlane’s toy line.
McFarlane Toys has announced that their Music Maniacs: Alice Cooper action figure will launch for pre-orders on March 22, and you can get a first look at the upcoming toy below.
The “Music Maniacs” line is a spinoff of McFarlane’s popular “Movie Maniacs” line, which returned to life last year – though the focus is no longer squarely on horror movies.
Alice Cooper is most definitely a Music Maniac but he’s also a Movie Maniac too. As Luiz H.C. wrote on Bloody Disgusting back in 2017, “Cooper’s love of the horror genre goes far beyond his music, as the artist has been involved with several scary movies as well. From John Carpenter’s Prince of Darkness to Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare, it’s easy to see why the rocker is so iconic in the world of blood, guts, and ghosts. Hell, even Tim Burton’s charming yet lackluster Dark Shadows features an Alice concert as sort of plot point.”
Luiz’s article continued, “However, my favorite of Cooper’s contributions to the world of scary movies was his involvement with the soundtrack for Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives. The main attraction was obviously the hit single He’s Back (The Man From Behind The Mask), which was written as a catchy homage to the hockey-mask-wearing killer.”
