Labyrinth Vinyl LP Pays Tribute to Henson and Bowie
Jim Henson released the weird and cool movie Labyrinth back in 1986, and while it wasn’t a huge hit back in the day, it’s gone on to become a classic. Beyond the cool puppetry, one of the most notable things about the flick was David Bowie played the bad guy Goblin King.
The soundtrack included several songs by Bowie, along with music by composer Trevor Jones. However, the soundtrack went out of production shortly after the film was released.
ThinkGeek has your back if you want some of those quirky ’80s tracks with a remastered version. The artwork on the sleeve is replicated from the original, and features has 12 original tracks, including Underground, Chilly Down, As the World Falls Down, Within You, and Magic Dance.
Labyrinth Firey Plush Wants Your Head
Labyrinth is one of those movies that you had to watch growing up in the 1980s. It creeped me out more than a little, but it wasn’t just the puppets that gave me nightmares, David Bowie did too. Fans of the flick might remember Firey. You know, the weird, fuzzy puppet that wanted to lop off Sarah’s head and play basketball with it?
You can get your own Firey plush, complete with its own removable limbs and head. The plush measures 12″ x 12″ x 6″, and while it’s not a dead ringer for the Fireys in the film, it’s just as creepy.
Get your own Firey for $34.99(USD) at ThinkGeek. Just don’t let it get anywhere near your head.
