Pennywise Living Dead Doll Makes: Float On

Posted on 26/07/2017 by Shane McGlaun

I don’t expect to see the new Stephen King IT movie any time soon, because I don’t go watch scary movies at the theater. It’s not that I am afraid of the movie, I’m just afraid my wife will scream and dump an entire ocean of soda on the person next to us like she did when we saw House on Haunted Hill back in the ’90s.

I did watch the IT miniseries back in the day and it was scary. If you like that classic Pennywise, you will want this Mezco Living Dead Doll based on the ’90s version of the creepy clown. The figure measures 10″ tall, has five points of articulation, and of course, it includes a red balloon.

The Pennywise Doll is available for pre-order for $39.99(USD) at Entertainment Earth, and ships starting this December. If you buy it, you’ll float too… or at least your wallet will be lighter.

The Shining Jack’s Journal Is Great for Curing Writer’s Block

Posted on 05/04/2017 by Shane McGlaun

The Shining was one of the films that helped put Stephen King movie adaptations on the map. Jack Nicholson was superb in that film and it was scary as hell. Still, I happened to have liked the 1997 TV mini series adaptation better. Fans of The Shining who need a place to write their next great novel will want to pick up Jack’s Journal.

This journal has a cover printed with a typewriter that has the “ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES JACK A DULL BOY.” typed, along with inner flaps covered with Jack’s obsessive statement.

It has a ribbon bookmark to help you find where you left off, and each page has lined paper with a typewriter design on the bottom.

The journal sells for $11.99(USD) on ThinkGeek.

The Dark Tower Box Set Hasn’t Moved On

Posted on 28/02/2017 by Shane McGlaun

I’ve been a big fan of Stephen King since I was a kid and found It on my dad’s bookshelves one boring summer day. Of all the King books I have read, my favorite series is The Dark Tower. I drive a lot for my day job and I listen to the unabridged versions on Audible. I am down to the final book after reading the very first book decades ago.

The Dark Tower series has eight books in it, and this box set is the first time all eight have been gathered together into a single collection.

The thing that I like is how so many worlds King has created come together in these books. If you haven’t read them I won’t give it away at all, but you need to read them. It’s a long read at 4,720 pages total but it’s some of the finest reading you will ever do. A movie is coming based on these books too. I hoped they would choose Clint Eastwood’s son Scott Eastwood for The Gunslinger, but I still think the flick will be awesome with Idris Elba as Roland, even though King makes it clear he’s an Eastwood type in the books

You can get the full box set at ThinkGeek for $147.99(USD).

This Replica of the Maze from “The Shining” Is A Sweet Necklace

Posted on 17/12/2014 by Stirling Matheson

We have a whole category of this website dedicated to geek wear, and while much of what we post is amusing, how much of it would you actually be willing to wear?… and I mean in public, and not GenCon public… real public. Probably not that much. You like looking at and having a laugh about that Guardians of the Galaxy codpiece (not a real product, I hope), online, but you’re probably not thinking that it would look killer with some worn-in selvedge denim and a Belstaff Circuitmaster.

This necklace absolutely would. Kiersten Essenpreis’ replica of the maze from The Shining is made of CNC milled brass and takes 18.6 million revolutions of the machine to complete. It’s a huge centerpiece at 2.25″ x 4″ as well, and it comes on a reversible black velvet/overlook carpet display box and costs a whopping $400. Worth it, if you’re already able to afford the selvedge and the Belstaff.

Stephen King’s The Dark Tower Shot Down at Warner Bros.

Posted on 21/08/2012 by Shane McGlaun

Stephen King is one of the most celebrated modern authors in the world. He has a huge number of books, movies, and TV shows to his credit. King is typically thought of as a horror writer, but some of my favorite stories King has ever written don’t necessarily fit the traditional horror genre.

Some of my favorite books from King are The Dark Tower series that follows gunslinger Roland Deschain. This series of books has been optioned for a movie and a TV show tie in, but fans of the franchise will be saddened to hear that things are looking bad for The Dark Tower right now. Warner Bros. has officially passed on developing an adaptation of the book series for the big screen and for TV.

Sadly, Warner Bros. taking a pass comes after Universal Pictures passed on it last year. The curious thing is that the project had a serious names attached to it, with Ron Howard attached to direct at least the first part of the series and set to oversee the entire project. Russell Crowe was also said to be interested in playing the gunslinger. The project would have had a movie trilogy with a limited run TV shows that would tie content between the three movies. I’ll add this project right next to the Halo live-action movie on my list of the best movies that never were.
