Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor

As you all know sometimes happens I've been inundated with end of the semester work and studying for finals.  In fact I've been so wrapped up in school that I totally let slip by me the fact that Rob Zombie's new cd Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor (fucking mouthful!) is out now!  Here is the cover art and track listing;

                        

1. Teenage Nosferatu Pussy

2. Dead City Radio And The New Gods of Supertown

3. Revelation Revolution

4. Theme For The Rat Vendor

5. Ging Gang Gong De Do Gong De Laga Raga

6. Rock And Roll (In A Black Hole)

7. Behold, The Pretty Filthy Creatures!

8. White Trash Freaks

9. We're An American Band

10. Lucifer Rising

11. The Girl Who Loved The Monsters

12. Trade In Your Guns For A Coffin

The tracks I've listened to so far are amazing!  Zombie's last non-remix cd Hellbilly Deluxe 2 was decent but it just felt like it was missing something.  There were some great tracks such as Sick Bubblegum and Mars Needs Women but again it just felt like something was missing.  Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor seems to have that old Hellbilly Deluxe 1 vibe to it but still feels fresh at the same time!  In the mean time check out the video for Dead City and the New Gods of Supertown! (Edit: Scratch the music video idea, both youtube and Vevo will not let me embed it for some reason even though both offer an embed code, weird right?)

Slender: The Arrival Now Available!

Remember that Indie classic, Slender: The Eight Pages?  If not you need to click here and download it immediately!  The game has you wandering around a secluded wooded area for what seems to be no reason.  You eventually find a page tacked to a tree trunk and the horror begins, for who is following you around these woods but the Slenderman!  Yes the infamous Slenderman made famous by those SomethingAwful and Creepypasta posts was finally featured in his own videogame.  The game itself was rather simple but confusing due to the nature of the fairly low scale graphics in which the entirety of the woods you wandered through looked the same throughout.  This did add a factor of creepiness to the game as you constantly felt lost as you wandered the woods.  Anyways the creator of the game agentParsec, has teamed up with Blue Isle Studios and Marble Hornets (of slenderman youtube video fame) to bring you a re-imagining of the original Slenderman: The Eight Pages now titled Slender: The Arrival!  The game is available by clicking here and is a steal at 10 bucks!  Don't listen to naysayers telling you that the Slenderman mythos is overplayed and not scary, do yourself a favor and try the game.  All I'm going to say is that I'm in the second section of the game (about 45 mins in) and have literally HATED walking through my house past our sliding door in the kitchen because of the fear this game has instilled in me.  I'm not just hyping the game, I have proclaimed several times that I am afraid of nothing on this planet other than flying yet this game has made me realize just how terrified of being alone in abandoned locations can be.  Check the game out and come back here to HalloweenOverkill in a few days for the full review of the game.........If I can strike up the courage to finish the damn thing!

HalloweenOverkill Halloween Countdown 2012!

Here is your pumpkin centric logo for this year's Halloween Countdown!  I'm not nearly as proud of it as I am the last two years logos, however I'm sure the posts themselves are more important than the logo itself.  Between now and Halloween you may see days without posts, that goes without saying when you have a 6 month old scooting around the house.  But you may see multiple posts on some days, I promise not to sell you all short this year.  I wanted to use this post to debut the logo for this year, but look for a post later in the night as well!

FauxReal Zombie T-shirt!

Ever think Halloween can't come soon enough? Now you can don your zombie gear as early as you want, thanks to the FauxReal company! FauxReal specializes in photorealistic apparel.  The shirt that I have in my hands is known as Men's Zombie on their official website, and it is like nothing I've ever seen as far as t-shirts go. We'll get to the good stuff (what the thing looks like) in a second, but first I would like to say that this is no gimmick. The shirt is 100% polyester and by God is it comfortable.  I've found that polyester usually has that jersey feel to it and ends up making me sweat like a hog after about 3 minutes.  Not this shirt.  It is really comfortable, and almost has that soft vintage worn t-shirt feel to it.   My only complaints at all about the shirt are that the collar feels very fragile like it could fray after even one wash, however I think the collars are the way they are due to the high definition printing procedure that is going on here. Also the shirt itself is a short sleeve shirt but to give your arms that "zombie" look they have sewn in sleeves made out of extra tight material similar to those fake arm tattoo sleeves. This isn't as uncomfortable as it would seem, however my arms get extremely itchy from tight material so for me it is a slight inconvenience.  It wouldn't stop me from wearing it, though, because of how amazing looking it is! Now on to the good stuff: what does this thing look like? Well I will let my photos speak for themselves.  Another thing to take notice of is at the bottom of the shirt they actually have the faux "shirt/skin" overlapping a pair of jeans.  If I would have happened to be wearing jeans, they would have overlapped exactly giving the shirt an even more photorealistic appearance. I also really like how the knife pops off of the shirt in 3D style because of how flawlessly high def the printing is!  For those of you who remember my scoring system (which I am hereby re-instating), this product easily earns 5 Jolly Jack-O-Lanterns!!!  In other words, visit FauxReal and buy yourself one, NOW!

Oh and by the way they have one other horror themed shirt but I don't want to spoil what it is.  Go visit their website to find out!

Hallmark Stay Puft Marshmallow Man Christmas Ornament!!

My wife and I have started collecting all sorts of nerdy related goodies for our newborn, as we hope he is into geek culture as much as we are.  These goodies are not limited to the Monster Fighters Lego series sets, Mars Attacks cards, and of course various horror collectibles.  What we didn't do however was include his grandparents in this obsessive collecting adventure because they had already expressed their displeasure in our forcing the little one to be a "baby geek".  They must have changed their minds however because as my wife and I pulled up to the house we found a package on the porch addressed to the little guy from my parents, and guess what it contained?  Some cute little shorts adorned in skulls and crossbones, two packs of Mars Attacks cards, and this little early Christmas treat!

So what this equates to is that instead of the little guy getting some cheesy "Babies First Christmas" ornament for the tree, he gets this badass "Magic" keepsake ornament as his first!  (I'm sure my wife and I will end up buying said cheesy "Babies First Christmas" ornament anyways.)

As soon as I opened this for the little guy I instantly became jealous.  Me a grown man jealous of a little 4 month old, and over a Christmas ornament no less!  Well you see, my mom has a tradition of buying me a Christmas ornament each year (even now my parents give me a new one each and every year) and I can assure you that although they have bought me some astoundingly awesome ornaments, none of them have ever done this...

This is an actual recording that I did to show how the audio sounds from the ornament, no audio enhancement was done.  Pretty amazing sounding isn't it?

So there you have it, an absolutely fantastic little gift from my parents to the baby, and one that I certainly won't mind playing with a little bit until he is old enough to tell me "Uh, sorry Dad but I believe that is MY Stay Puft Marshmallow Man Christmas Ornament!"

"Magic" means I know where you sleep at night......
