Does anyone remember Splatterhouse, the 80’s horror video game? Many Friday The 13th fans fondly recall it due to its possessed hockey-masked, blade-wielding main character. A very cheeky move from Namco way back when. I have spare points on my Nintendo Wii Virtual Console and this is a possible option for me to download. Beyond [...]

It is one of the movies that [...]

Then FRIDAY THE 13TH starts with the familiar Jason ki-ki-ki ma-ma-ma theme over the Platinum Dunes logo and boom… we’re in… 1980?
Yep. Over the opening credits we get a re-imagining of the end of the first movie with Mrs. Voorhees attacking a poor counselor, ending with… you guessed it, decapitation. After the terrified girl runs [...]

In the 80’s and even today, action figures of the 3 3/4 inch variety have been very popular. Hasbro’s GI Joe and Star Wars lines have lined the toy shelves (off and on) for many years. Recently, a resurgence in the 3 3/4 style of toy has began. Jakks Pacific took their WWE line down [...]

We endulge ourselves in these questions. Today, I had the priveledge of getting some of those [...]
