AMC's The Walking Dead

Posting on December 30 While watching Episode 1 of the Walking Dead Marathon.

The hit TV show by AMC that started from a comic book created by Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore (artist for 1-6) back in 2003 adding Charlie Adlard picking up from 7 to today. While the comic book struggled at sales at it's infancy. I for one am glad that they hung in there and kept going with their creations. I own several volumes of the hard covered books. As of right now I have 1-6 that I keep on my shelve. I am more of fan of the TV show so I try to stay behind the general story of the show and not read any of the books until the show has passed that area.
I have been a big follower of the show that I did start watching on the first run and I didn't start picking up watching the show after it was a smash hit. I have even traveled to a few of the locations before it had gotten to be the thing to do over the past couple of years. Here are a few from my Instagram that I had taken and posted back in 2012.

As I had said in a previous entry that I also attend Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights. These next pictures are from their displays or recreations of the TV show. Their main theme was the walking dead that year and it was great. These were taken in 2013.

Lego's Creator- Bike Shop and Caf'e

A late entry.
I am a large collector of Legos (when I have the money). I received for one of my Christmas gifts a Lego set called Bike Shop & Caf'e. This is a nice set to add to your city scene. The price runs $89.99 on the Lego store. I was not difficult at all to put together and you have instruction books that allow you to choose from 3 different set designs. I chose to build the Cafe and Shop. they are two different buildings with both buildings being able to open and close and have great details added. The set number is 31026. The number of bricks that you have to pick through is 1023 pieces. Some Lego set have numbered bags so you don't have to look through so many pieces at one time. This set does not have that system so when you go to start building, make sure that you have plenty of room for opened bags or to stater them all out to be able to see them all better. #Lego

Horror Movies for 2015

As I stated in my first post, I am a huge horror fan. I enjoy horror for movies of all kinds. There are some that I seek to watch and there are others that I watch just to say "Someone made that?". We all can agree there are some that have a great build up but when it hits the big screen, our expectations were let down. For low budget movies I suggest watching them on some kind of on-line streaming service like Netflix, HuluPlus, Amazon, or even youtube. But right here I'm going to give you the layout of the Horror movies that are planed for the year 2015 release. The reason that I am listing movies here is because I have searched several sites that have listings of everything with no information and some have not updated anything at all. I hope this list helps you out. If the movie has a website, I'll post a link to it.




Movies that I was able to locate but was not able to find a release date.

Archie- The comic book with zombies.

XX- Not much is known at this time other than it will have all female directors with short stories and is produced by the people who were involved with making Tusk.

WolfCop II- I have not seen nor have heard of WolfCop I.

Ebola Zombies- As fast as it came in to the news concerning Americans, it left the same way. But someone decided to make a movie.

The Purge 3- If 3 is anything like the first 2 films, it too will be a hit.

The Exorcism of Molly Hartley- You may not see this release in your local theater but I'm sure you find it streaming sometime soon.

Yoga Hosers- It claims to be a comedy horror written and directed by Kevin Smith and staring Johnny Depp, it looks like a rip off of Two Broke Girls. I'm not a Kevin Smith fan.

The Final Girls-

Lobo- I would not normally list this as a horror movie but I'm sure the brutality of it pushes the subject matter in that direction.

Predator- The creature is getting some updates for a new generation.

Haeger's Pass- No information about this film other that a trailer that looks like you will find it streaming before you can buy a ticket.

Lake Placid Vs. Anaconda- I have no idea where this film will travel through.

Ghostbusters Lego Set

Lego Review

I just received a gift from my youngest son. It is the #Ghostbuster Ecto-1 Lego set. Although it is only 508 pieces, it was still a little monster to put together. the age range is for 10+. It is recommended for all Lego fans and Ghostbuster fans. The price listed on Lego.com is $49.99 which makes it affordable for any collector. I have included some pictures of my completed set. Please read each comment added to the pictures. I'm glad to have this set added to my collection. On a scale to from 1 to 10, I give it a 10. there is a lot of little details in this set.

This is the box which allows you to open and close where you can place the car with the top off inside with the four mini figs.

Here is the box opened with many little bags inside.

Here is the booklet that has the instructions as well as movie information in a couple of different languages. 

This is the base of the Ecto-1

Our four fighters have their scare face on. With a slight turn of the head they have their normal face.

Here is the completed vehicle

Finished product on the shelve for display.

Halloween Prop

There is a prop that I have seen only through the use of the internet. It is known only as I can find it under the term "Skull Chair" that I was able to "Google". Other than a couple of pictures, I can not locate any information on this chair. I am constructing a chair that is modeled after this original one. It is not a copy but I'm trying to build it as close as possible. I would like to know where the original is located so I can give credit where it is due. This is a great work of art and the more I looked at the more I wanted to build one just like it to be added to the haunted attraction where I work during Halloween. My chair would never be sold and will be kept in my home.

Although there is a logo on this picture, this chair is not located on their website 

Here is an update on the prop chair. I can only work on this when the weather is clear. This is just the first skull. I started with a 2"x 8" that I has cut down to 12" boards which I cut down to a workable size. Just now I have taken as much corners off and rounded the sides. Now it is starting to look as the shape of a skull. There needs to be more taken off the back side. There was a lot of work done to get the wood down to what I have now. Right now all of the sanding has been done by a hand belt sander. I will be getting the Dremel tool out for the detail of the face.
