A horrible psychotic killer from the horrible movie House of a thousand corpses, i haven't seen the sequel The Devil's Rejects and doubt i ever will.Released 12th November 2013.
Pennywise
Stephen Kings move It, is an excellent film and a must see. Pennywise is one of Its forms. I wont say too much. This figure may find its way into my collection, in a locked strongbox. Released 12th November 2013.
Dr. Blake Downs
A disturbed and bloody clown doctor form Children's Hospital, for the Television series of Funko pops!
Funko are about to release more Horror figures for there Funko Pop! vinyl figure movies line.
Chucky
Chucky from the 1990 Childs Play 2 movie. Chucky is actually, Charles Lee Ray a serial killer called "The Lakeshore Strangler". He has possessed the body of a doll, but wants to transfer his soul to a human once more. A good movie franchise, have a Chucky movie night and see them all.
As for the figure itself, i would have much preferred for him to be one of those smaller sized Funko pop figures, that would have been cool.Still a nice figure for any Horror movie aficionado.
Ghost face
Ghost face is actually a Samhain costume that several serial killers have worn since the 1996 Scream movie. The costume is based on The Scream a famous painting by Edvard Munch. Though a human wears the costume, the Ghostface persona seems to posses inhuman endurance, strength and stealth, as well as the ability to teleport! The figure looks cool, and who wouldn't like a Ghostface in their collection.
Sam
I hadnt seen this movie until now. It is kind of cool. Sam is a short Trick or Treater who goes out on Samhain and reminds people of the spirit of Halloween. As with Chucky im wishing this guy was much smaller, but he may in fact be short, will have to wait and see. He kind of reminds me of Sackboy which isn't very scary.
Halloween (the movie) was one of the first slasher films and created a lot of the standard horror movie rules. The franchise went on to create ten movies, comics, novels, games and changed horror movies forever.
Michael Myers is the star and killer in the Halloween movies. He is a supernatural slasher and even if killed he just keeps coming back, death seemingly being a minor inconvenience for him. He is the 3rd figure in the Funko pop Movies line.
The back of the box states "they'll thrill you!" which is appropriate because back in the day a Thriller movie was not just what you called a boring horror.
Here is Michael Myers in all his stabby glory.He is easily recognisable by any fan of horror.
One thing that struck me was the dark brown around his eyes. At first i thought it was mistake as this was a different colour to his skin. However it is accurate to the movies as he wore dark eyeliner.
He wears his white mask and has both a cute nose and mouth.
Here we see Michaels overalls, considering his penchant for eyeliner, he doesn't seem to put much effort into his wardrobe.
Michael Myers would be caught dead without his signature weapon, the humble yet successful kitchen knife. It is shinny and silver with blood from his last victim, or it could be jam, he has to eat too you know.
Here he is a member of the big three horror giants. With Freddy Krueger on the left and Jason Vorhees on the right, a horrifying threesome to be sure.
Here we see Michael, Jason and Freddy being mean to Leatherface. Bullying and bigotry are wrong and these pops are going to be in serious trouble unless they change there evil ways.
What is Halloween:
Halloween or Samhain is a seasonal religious holy day celebrated on the 30th of April–1st of May in the Southern Hemisphere, and as it is a seasonal festival it is celebrated on the 31st of October –1st of November in the northern hemisphere. At Samhain the veil between this world and the spiritual world is very thin, as such it is a time to communicate, honor and pay respect to those who have died.
1984 slasher movie. The film wenton to create a successful horror franchise, including novels, more movies, television series, comics and computer games.
Set in the American town of
Springwood.
Freddy Krueger was suspected of murdering children by the people of Springwood. They formed a mob and burned him alive. Freddy came back from the dead for revenge. He kills the townsfolk's children in there nightmares, but is capable of existing in the real world.
Freddy Krueger is the 2nd in the Movies line of Funko pop figures for adults.
This is written on the back of this figure's box as well. I find it odd... Surely Freddy will "horrify me", Freddy will "give me nightmares". But Dazzle me? What is is going to do, put on a song and dance routine? Actually that could be cool.
Freddy is unmistakable, his Funko pop figure is obviously Freddy from A Nightmare on Elm Street.
He wears his signature striped longsleeve top.
On his head is his dashingly fashionable hat.
His terrifying knife glove adorns his hand, and functions as his go to weapon.
Freddys skin is well detailed and reminiscent of the character.
Friday the 13th was first released in 1980 and has gone on to create one of the largest slasher/horror franchises. The movie has spawned some 12 other movies, and gone to television, documentaries, comics and has become a part of the horror movie mindset.
Jason Vorhees is the star and villain of Friday the 13th. He is usually killed at the end of the movies by a strong female character, but is resurrected, often by electricity, at the start of the next movie.
Jason is the first Funko pop figure in the Movies line.
Um what? Why is this on the back of the box? Am i missing some lore from the movie? I think "get him, before he gets you" or "they'll thrill you!" might have made more sense...
Jason looks adorable. He may be cute as a bloody button but remember he is a supernatural killer hell bent of revenge.
Jason wears suitably tattered clothing. You could say he was dressed to kill, but that would be a lame joke.
Jason wears his trademark hockey mask.
The back of his head is nice and lumpy, he did get killed a lot and his head reflects this.
He holds his signature weapon, the machete, which is metallic coloured and bloody.
Don't look too hard or he will give you his crazy eye stare!
For size comparison we have got some likely suspects in a line up. From left to right; Michael Myers (Halloween), Jason Voorhees (Friday the 13th) and Freddy Krueger (A Nightmare on Elm Street), all from the Funko pop Movies line.
How embarrassing! I'm sure it happens more than you would imagine.
