One story follows Dylan Baker and his son who have perhaps too much fun with a group of trick or treaters, with another following Anna Paquin and her friends who are out partying it up in the middle of the woods. Another story follows a group of kids who are taking pumpkins to the... [Read the full story]

In this new adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven, Nicanor Loreti and Mariano Cattaneo have created an animated horror/suspense masterpiece that could only be narrated by Billy Drago (Masters of Horror: Imprint).

This highly detailed model features Regan in the famous bed scene of the movie. The figure is disgustingly detailed and is priced at $17.95,... [Read the full story]
