Meta-Crypt, aka Brain Ewing and Justin Jewett, have an exclusion version of 9 inch figure for sale for attendees of Ewing’s Horror Business solo exhibit which opens in November at the Rivet Gallery.

Ubisoft Brazil shared this today for their Halloween message. It’s not just a pirate assassin. It’s a pirate assassin as Death. What do you think? A great idea for the next chapter in the series or a poor photoshop?
Shadows Out of Time: A Review of In Strange Aeons – Lovecraftian Numenera
As the title of the last Smash Up expansion suggests, an Obligatory Cthulhu Set has become de rigueur for any game line (heck… you almost have a Cthulhu Monopoly in The Doom That Came To Atlantic City).

Female Predator cosplay
This is real female Predator cosplay. Created by Noora Nevalainen and winning first prize at Ropecon XX this cosplay is handmade, made from leather, bone, liquid latex, upholstery foam and paint. While there’s some debate as to what a female Predator looks like Noora certainly puts this famous picture into perspective. Why? This really is […]
