'Till Death Do Us Part', A Couple's Engagement Photos Emulate Friday The 13th.




Van Lawson and her fiance Josh Morden, both from Parry Sound, Ontario, have a great sense of humor - albeit a sick one. For their engagement, instead of posing for clichéed, gooey-eyed, cheesy photos, they posed for a series of 26 photos taken by professional Toronto photographer Brandon Michael Gray, that emulate a Friday the 13th horror film. Van even painted the Crystal Lake sign herself.

Here are all 26 photos, in order, of course:




























Now, theirs is one wedding I'd like to attend.

A Promotion For The Upcoming Release of "Carrie" Scares The Pants Off Of West Village Coffee Shop Patrons.




To promote the new adaptation of Carrie, an impressive stunt was pulled off in 'sNice Cafe, an unsuspecting West Village coffee shop. A young woman, feigning a fit over coffee spilled on her keyboard, uses telekentic powers to express her anger, freaking out the folks inside. A fake wall rigged to move a man, spring loaded books and pictures and moving tables seamlessly reacted to the young ladies' outburst, eliciting fabulously fearful reactions. See for yourself:



The video was the creation of Thinkmodo, the New York-based viral video marketing company and stars actress Andrea Morales. Thinkmodo co-founder Michael Krivicka told Yahoo Movies via email that it took an entire day to prepare for the stunt at the 'sNice Cafe in the West Village. Krivicka said, "The stunt team had to build a fake wall and rehearse the wall stunt. A separate crew was installing the hidden cameras and setting up a control room downstairs. A third crew was in charge of the props: spring loaded books, motorized tables & chairs, and spring-loaded picture frames. People screamed, they ran, and some were simply stunned and frozen - trying to process what they just saw," Krivicka said. "In other words, we basically scared the living hell out of people." Thinkmodo then compiled the best reactions into their viral video montage.



The new adaptation of Brian de Palma's classic horror film stars Chloe Maretz and Julianne Moore and is directed by Kimberly Peirce. Carrie is based on Stephen King's 1974 novel and hits theaters October 18.

Produced by Kevin Misher, it stars Chloë Grace Moretz, Judy Greer, Portia Doubleday, Alex Russell, Gabriella Wilde, Ansel Elgort and Julianne Moore

May I also recommend the first movie adaptation of the book? Directed by Brian de Palma in 1976 and starring Sissy Spacek, Piper Laurie, Amy Irving and John Travolta, it's definitely worth a look.

The Magnificently Macabre Photography of Miss Lakune.



If Heaven and Hell could be combined in an artistic photograph, the beautiful and talented Miss Lakune, has done so with her ethereally disturbing Gothic photographs. The perfect images for the month in which Halloween lies, her work is both simultaneously repelling and compelling.

Classic 80s Movie Posters Get The Zombie Treatment In the Latest Incarnation By Matt Busch. Plus Some Other New & Notable Additions.





You may recall a post I wrote in 2010 where I featured 30 popular movie posters which were Zombie-fied by artist Matt Busch. Classics like Star Wars, Jaws and Breakfast at Tiffany's received the ghoulish treatment. Since then, a slew of new Zombie versions of beloved 80s Movie Posters (and more wonderful 90s movie posters) have been released.



The newest collection (the fifth from Hollywood is Dead) of hand-painted, re-imagined movie posters with a zombie twist focuses on blockbusters that defined the 80′s, like The Terminator (The Termin Ate Her), Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (Ferris Bueller’s Day of the Dead) and The Breakfast Club (The Breakfast Clump), Prince’s Purple Rain (Prance’s Purple Pain) and The Lost Boys (The Last Boys) to name a few. ”This set of posters was really fun to work on,” comments Busch, “not just because I was an 80′s kid, but because movies had a magic back then that’s rarely seen today.”

Here's a look at the new collection.

Ferris Beuller's Day Off:

The Lost Boys:

Three Men And A Baby:

The Terminator:

Purple Rain:

Porky's:

Who's Afraid of Roger Rabbit?

Busch first made waves with his undead parodies in 2009 with Zombie Wars(a project authorized by Lucasfilm) re-imagining all 6 Star Wars movie posters with his decrepit vision. Since the original media frenzy, Busch conceived a larger project and the outbreak expanded into an online gallery at Hollywood-is-Dead.com.

For this 80′s series of zombified posters, Busch has returned to the roots that started it all Star Wars. Busch explains, “When I illustrated the original set, for Return of the Jedi, I chose to parody Drew Struzan’s advance poster, which at the time was still called Revenge of the Jedi.” Since then, Fans have been demanding that Busch re-create the more familiar one-sheet design that was illustrated by Kazuhiko Sano. “Now, one will have the option of collecting a version that’s more of a montage. Together they tell a morbid story, and this completes the saga.”

The other Star Wars film that happened to be released in the 80′s, The Empire Strikes Back, is a fan favorite. The Hollywood-is-Dead version, The Living Dead Strikes Back, is no exception, featuring a zombified Han Solo projecting blood vomit onto an eagerly-awaiting zombie Princess Leia. To commemorate, Busch is re-releasing the poster as a larger, full movie-poster-size print (shown below).



In addition to the posters, Busch has recently struck a licensing deal with Fright-Rags, Inc. to produce high quality full color shirts based on the zombified parodies. One the horizon, a coffee table book is in development, as well as a board game. The Hollywood-is-Dead original paintings are currently exhibited in the ArtInsights Animation and Film Art Gallery in Reston, Virginia. Gallery owner Leslie Combemale states, “Yes, these images are over-the-top, but they are also a love note from Matt to the original artists who created these classics and to the dying art used to make great movie posters.”
