Child's Play is out today, and so is Toy Story 4. We've all seen the Child's Play poster that plays with the concept of killing Toy Story characters; it is horror after all. I'm sure Woody and Buzz aren't thrilled at the thought of Chucky murdering all of their friends. Now here's another way to kick this concept up a notch. Lee Hardcastle teamed up with Orion Pictures to bring you a big Andy's Room Welcome with Child's Play CLAYMATION: 'A Big Chucky Welcome.'

If you're a horror movie fan or happen to love reading Stephen King novels, you must be anxiously waiting for IT Chapter Two to hit theatres. Pennywise is such an iconic, twisted character making people afraid of clowns worldwide. I can't wait to see how he'll haunt the kids, now grownups, from Derry next. 

It's great to witness how the love of geeky fandom has through fashion, comic books, film, and video games. I believe that movies alone have helped Gen Z discover hidden geeky gems from the '80s and '90s. But let's talk about fashion now. Some apparel that you find at stores and honors our love of geek culture almost looks like straight-up cosplay. Some items are a bit more discreet. Below check out five items from different cool shops I'm smitten with for Spring/Summer. 

This post will be short and sweet yet very needed. I love horror movies. I've always been a fan of Chucky from Child's Play. Growing up, I would also get so excited to watch DC Comics Batman The Animated Series. Today my brother forwarded me an Instagram post saying Mark Hamill would be the voice of Chucky in the new Child's Play movie and I was hype so hype! It's like the best of both worlds have collided.

Warner Bros. has set a release date for their Tom and Jerry movie. It's going to be a live-action, animated film set to hit theaters April 16, 2021. The movie is based on the Hanna Barbera cartoons cartoons that started i the 1940's. Hanna Barbera was also the mastermind behind The Smurf, The Jetsons, and The Flinstones. Personally, I'm still waiting for a new The Jetsons movie.  

Fall is by far my favorite season for TV shows and Movies. It's actually hard to keep up with everything because there is so much! Some years the entertainment isn't that great while other years it's phenomenal. I'm feeling pretty great about this season so far. It's showering me with great entertainment and there's a lot I have to look forward to.

All Of My Siblings Are Born In September. That Means A Lot Of Birthdays!

Hey Horror Fans, 

Michael Myers is back with a vengeance... well, sort of. 

The Focus Features film "Mary Queen of Scots" trailer is officially here and it's everything I could have wanted and more. These cousins who were also friends became rivals and that rivalry later turned to war.  Josie Rourke’s "Mary Queen of Scots" is scripted by Beau Willimon and stars Saoirse Ronan as 'Mary Stuart' and Margot Robbie as 'Elizabeth I'.

I'm So Excited To Be Watching Marvel Comics The Avengers: Infinity War Tonight!

I've heard ridiculously amazing things about the movie. Getting to see some of my favorites such as Iron Man, Thor, Spiderman, Captain American, and more go up against Thanos is going to be epic. I grew up on Marvel Comics more than DC Comics, therefore, they hold a special place in my heart. 

Because Mom Deserves The Best!

Mother's Day is just around the corner. We should all be celebrating our Mother's every day, however, it's nice that they have a day dedicated just to them. Think Geek has such a fun and unique Mother's Day selection right now. It's perfect for comicbook and movie lovers. I don't believe your mom needs to necessarily be a 'geek' to enjoy these gifts, but it's definitely a plus. Either way, giving her something that reminds her of you will probably be a gift all on its own. 

Cruel Intentions...

!!POSSIBLE SPOILERS BELOW!!

CW and Archie Comics Riverdale, has been spicing up lately. Ever since we found out South Side High is going to become a prison, shit has hit the fan. 

Halloween might have been yesterday, but that doesn't mean you can't have a little Michael Myers in your life all your round thanks to Mezco Toyz.

This one is for my horror & action figure fans! John Carpenter debuted his film "Halloween" in October 1978. Little did he know that he had created a masterpiece for horror culture many pay homage to in their own films till this day. He also created a die hard (like Michael) fandom of Michael Myers fans. Michael Myers is terrifying. Though I am a fan, if I saw someone seriously approaching me dressed as Michael Myers and not uttering a word, I would probably run for the hills and never look back. Michael was a twisted, mysterious little boy from Haddonfield who killed his older sister and became a crazy, murderous, soul less eyed adult who wore a white mask and was often referred to as "The Shape"... he was also trying to kill the other sister he left behind.

The story of everyday girls like you and I, in a little town who worked as babysitters getting murdered on a mans quest to kill his sister seemed pretty possible which made this story quite scary. Long story short, Michael Myers is a horror icon and the Mezco Toyz 'The One:12 Collective Michael Myers Halloween' figure will mesmerize you. It's truly beautiful in the creepiest way possible. The details will knock you out your socks. His eyes still piercing as ever. The figure also brings great accessories from the film like the ghost sheet & Judith Myers tombstone.  

Read the information and enjoy viewing the great photos of the Michael Myers figure in action below. This figure is available for pre-order now and is expected to ship sometime between June - August 2018. Check out the Mezco Toyz website HERE.

Hey Nubians,

As some of you may know, I am a big fan of Mr. Bill Plympton, or as he appeared at New York Comic Con, cowboy Bill. It all started with a young little Nubia admiring the work he did for MTV, shapes transforming, popping out of weird places right before my very eyes in cartoon style. In later years, I started following his career. From short to full animated films, commercials, music videos... some of my favorites being "Your Face", "Hair High", "Guard Dogs", "Kanye West: Heard 'Em Say, Version 2". Multiple Simpsons intros, "Tiffany: Death on the Runway" and much, much, more.

I took a few minutes at New York Comic Con to catch up with the delightfully down to earth Mr. Plympton and was surprised that he still remembered me even though I had moved to Vegas for over 3 years and didn't attended any convention he was a part of. "Nubia... Ah, fashion right?". I think the last time I saw him was at the premiere of "Tiffany: Death on the Runway" which was absolutely fantastic by the way. One very cool thing about Bill Plympton is that he will ALWAYS asks you if you're animating and if you do, he wants to see and know more. He's always scouting young talent and giving great advice. I told him I just draw for fun and that what I'm really focusing on is writing. I have just left my traditional job in marketing to focus on a novel and writing in general after all. 

I told Bill that unfortunately I haven't gotten a chance to see his film "Revengeance" which he worked on with animator Jim Lujan yet, but I did recently watch the music videos he animated for Jackie Greene and I love them! They're a lot of fun. Bill animated both "Modern Lives" and "Good Advice" on Jackie Greene's THE MODERN LIVES VOL. 1 LP which contains 6 tracks and guess what? He told me he was going to animate all of the videos which means 4 more animated goodies to come! I believe Bill & Jackie make a great pair because Greene's lyrics tell a story that go well with Bill's animation and style in my opinion. 

Hey Nubians, 

"Listen sister, if I want your opinion, I'll beat it out of you." -Elvira

Some of you may know I am a HUGE horror fan so naturally I got hyped last Halloween when I saw LunatiCK Cosmetic Labs introduced Mistress Of The Dark, Elvira’s very own specialty makeup palette! Elvira AKA Cassandra Peterson, is known as a Queen in the horror realm and the "Queen of Halloween". She has always been a hostess with a very vampy & sexy look and a lot of sass. That wonderfully creepy lady sure knew how to entertain her viewers. I'm sure all the goth boys probably had a crush on her! Non goth too.  I haven't seen enough write ups on this palette so even though it's a few months old, I thought I'd share it with you all just in case you missed it. Plus I love how LunatiCK Cosmetic Labs celebrate horror fans through beauty. 

"All of us at LunatiCK Cosmetic Labs are honored to collaborate & celebrate with one of the “greatest of the great” horror icons going back 35 years! In commemorating these awe inspiring 35 years…we introduce, Mistress Of The Dark, Elvira’s very own specialty makeup palette!  We are honored at LunatiCK Cosmetic Labs to introduce with “the one and only” Elvira, our gorgeous, custom, limited edition, (coffin shaped, of course) make up palette honoring the many roles, our inspiring, late night horror hostess/actress, Elvira (Cassandra Peterson) has brought into all of our lives. "



Did I mention this product is talc free, paraben free, vegan and cruelty free?! The LunatiCK Cosmetic Labs Mistress Of The Dark Elvira palette features colors that the character wears herself. Nothing too bubbly of course, but there is a gorgeous shade of blue in there I have my eye on... and may be on my eyelids soon. There are also red tones, black, and white. The coffin shape of the palette is perfection of course and a brand signature.

Here is a beautiful photo of the makeup being worn I pulled from the LunatiCK Cosmetic Labs website. The colors blend very nicely and seem to have good pigmentation. 



You may also enjoy some bad ass Elvira quotes hidden under the palette! 

  

The palette is limited edition and limited quantity so if you're a fan, better order it asap!
You can head on over HERE to order. 

Have an amazing, spooky day! 

Cheers!

Hey Nubians, 

I Love A Classic Film Poster.

I was having a chat with my brother the other day and I asked him "Dear brother, why don't they make film posters the way they used to?"  A lot of movie posters from the 1960s through the 1980s are pure art! He answered that he wasn't sure but that for some reason a lot of other countries make more artistic posters. After seeing a few examples, I must say I agree. Even seeing the titles in other languages sometimes make them more attractive to me. The phrases that were used back in the 80s were also wittier in my personal opinion and the fonts were cooler too. 

The women in the posters had this gorgeous, retro look to them and their hair and outfits where usually on point. They either had a tragic beauty to them or looked stunningly confident or strong. Another thing I noticed is the beautiful color stories in the posters which always makes me connect them to art. 

From movies like Barbarella, Halloween, Deadly Blessing, and some I've never head of, here are a few that stood out to me. 





I'll be randomly featuring posters like these more often because I find them inspiring and visually pleasing. 

Cheers!

Love Is In The Air ... 
Valentine's Day is among us and I am dateless! Where will my chocolates, flowers, and shiny gifts be? My boyfriend will be working all night and I will be working all day. Therefore I might have a little something at home waiting for me haha (I better).Spare me with all of the "I don't celebrate Valentine's Day" "We celebrate love everyday" blah blah blah crap. Though to be honest, I do agree love should be celebrated everyday and to be quite frank I never cared much for Valentine's Day gifts. A simple hand written card or something creative would do the job for me. HOWEVER, It's hard not to get a little bittersweet and feel down because brace yourself... you will be seeing tons of affection all around you everywhere! Online, on the streets, in your nightmares... EVERYWHERE. The hugs, holding hands, gazing into each others eyes, kissing, the list goes on. 

For the reasons above, I have decided to share some tips on how to spend an awesome Valentine's Day alone. 

Hey Nubians, 

Remember Back In 2013 When Bryan Singer Played This Cruel April Fools Joke On Us? 

Well, I think we were all reminded of Lady Gaga as Marvel Comics X-Men's Dazzler after last nights Super Bowl Halftime show. 



I mean ...
