[Random Cool] Mind-Blowing Custom ‘Halloween’ Dolls!
Bloody reader ‘Dan Polydoris’ got creative and designed his own custom vintage-style set of Mego figures based on John Carpenter’s Halloween!
“[The Michael] Myers is just Captain Kirk with a white face and new hair,” he explains on his blog. “He’s wearing a ‘Planet of the Apes’ Astronaut outfit without the zipper. [Dr.] Loomis is just Boss Hogg with a goatee and a slight haircut (in the back). His trench coat is a modified Barbie trench made for 12″ figures.
“I also made a Laurie figure (she’s pictured on the side of the box), but she ended up looking too shitty even for the internet to see,” he jokingly adds. “So, she’ll remain safely bound and gagged in the back of my closet.“
Michael Myers construction:
Captain Kirk head
Type 2 body
Soldier Ape boots from Planet of the Apes
Astronaut suit from Planet of the Apes (zipper removed)
Modified scimitar from Azeem (Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves) for the knife
Brown, faux-fur from Joanne Fabric for the hairhttps://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/images/cleardot.gif
Dr. Loomis construction:
Boss Hogg head and body
Joker shoes
Modified Barbie Trenchcoat
Pants, shirt and gun from Doc Mego Repros

‘Manhunter: The Final Cut’ Trailer – Michael Mann’s 4K Restoration Arrives in Theaters This Month
Michael Mann‘s adaptation of Thomas Harris’ Red Dragon is receiving a stunning new 4k restoration in celebration of the film’s 40th anniversary this year, and a new trailer gives a look at the gorgeous release.
Manhunter: The Final Cut will open in select US theaters on July 24
The film will also release theatrically in the UK on September 25 and on home entertainment later this year.
In Manhunter, “FBI criminal profiler Will Graham (William L. Petersen) is called out of early retirement to assist on a serial murder case involving a killer known as the “Tooth Fairy” (Tom Noonan). Graham enlists the help of imprisoned serial killer — and cannibal — Dr. Hannibal Lecktor (Brian Cox), who is the reason Graham took an early retirement. Soon, Graham and the FBI are entangled in a deadly cat-and-mouse game between the Tooth Fairy, Lecter, and an interfering journalist (Stephen Lang).“
It marks the first on-screen appearance of the cannibalistic killer that Anthony Hopkins would later popularize in The Silence of the Lambs, though Brian Cox’s iteration has even less screentime.
It’s the talents of the late Tom Noonan as the unsettling Francis Dollarhyde that makes this serial killer thriller so creepy. Three-time Oscar nominee Joan Allen (The Contender, 2000) also stars as his blind love interest.
Mann guided this 4K scan of the original 35mm negative, with a few shots from an interpositive , that was conformed and digitally restored at L’Immagine Ritrovata in Bologna. Both the theatrical version and the UHD HDR & SDR video color gradings were performed by Stefan Sonnenfeld at Company 3 in Los Angeles with the director. Sound restoration was done at Audio Mechanics from an original 35mm magnetic 6-track printmaster to release a new 5.1 mix by Luke Schwartzweller at Fox. Technical coordination and deliveries were managed by L’Immagine Ritrovata. This project was supervised by Becca Mann and the StudioCanal team, Jean-Pierre Boiget, and Delphine Roussel.
This new 4K Final Cut, overseen by Mann, “enhances the film’s depth, visual clarity and sound, offering audiences the ultimate immersive version,” per the press release.
