A Tale Of Two Cons Part 1: Chiller Theatre 2022

Well this was a long time coming and I apologize for the delay but I hope you enjoy the adventures and craziness I’ve been experiencing lately… Convention season is back in full swing and I don’t think anyone is more excited than me! Just about a month ago I got the opportunity to attend two great shows (coincidentally in the same exact area: Parsippany, NJ) . I’ll break them both down in two separate entries because they were two totally different shows and experiences and want to share as much as I can without overloading anyone! First up was Chiller Theatre’s Spring Show! Anchored by a fairly large Back To The Future reunion, MASH reunion and Monkees member Mickey Dolenz, this was my first major getaway in a very long time and was more of a show to escape, decompress and hang out with good friends. I didn’t really want to go out of my way and spend a lot of money at this particular show, I just wanted to relax and laugh. But of course being me, I still found ways to rub shoulders wi

Review: No Holds Barred Ultimate Edition

It’s time to ask that age old question that I know has been on your mind for quite a while… Well after months and months of anticipation and excitement…well, it may be dookie. Sometimes a man can’t contain himself. But thankfully dookie it is not, it’s the smell of a new arrival to the collection, it’s none other than the SDCC Exclusive Ultimate No Holds Barred two pack!!! Of course, this didn’t come without controversy as the set almost immediately sold out on Mattel’s site. A few months later, as expected, a few left over sets ended up on WWEShop and also sold out in record timing but thankfully I was able to score one for me and my friend(and occasional podcast partner) Rich who was at SDCC but couldn’t score one due to quick sell out. Let’s take a look… The Packaging: Much like Bo Derek, this package is a solid 10. Modeled and inspired by the original NHB VHS release, Mattel went all out to make this as special as close they could. Slip off the VHS “casing” and you’ll find tonigh

Fright Rags Souvenir Cups!

If you’re like me, you a sucker for promotional tie ins. Cereal boxes, special events, commercials, whatever. They’re all welcomed in my home but one item that we very rarely celebrate are old souvenir/stadium/promotional cups. I’m not talking flimsy, paper or thin plastic either, heck no. I’m talking those big bad sturdy cups that you’d get at the theater it fast food place. As time went on, those have gone away for one reason or the other. But our pals at Fright Rags said “Nah! Time to bring them back!”. And boy did they bring them back in a big way! Check these out! 3 new souvenir cups in all their amazing giant plastic glory! Killer Klowns From Outer Space, Robocop and Teen Wolf. 3 movies that were certainly worthy of receiving their own vintage promotions but with the exception of Robocop, never got much back in the day. I guess in situations like this, it’s better late than never. All 3 cups feature set work by Matthew Skiff , one of the most talented artists and coolest huma
