Awesome Horror

Rob Zombie continues his reboot of the Halloween franchise with H2: Halloween 2; hardcore fans of the original may blanch at this trailer, but we’ll be keeping our kitchen knives sharpened.

A giant robot, the grim reaper, an executioner and stinging bees to boot: Funkrush’s We’re Only Here for the Fear t-shirt is a nice roundup of our favorite horror movie archetypes.

It may sound like the plot from some ridiculous zombie movie, but Joe Schreiber’s Deathtroopers is the real deal: it’s the first Star Wars horror novel, due out before Halloween ’09.

Make no illusions: Splatterhouse is a gory, gory remake with grotesque monsters, nightmarish levels, and a hockey-masked protagonist who has a propensity for losing limbs.

Our mad scientist days are long over, but this Shelf Life tee has us longing for dank, dark nights spent amidst jars filled with formaldehyde and all sorts of “unusual” specimens.

A hot chick in peril, blood splatters and a cool tee: yup, it’s Halloween. Akumu Ink’s gritty clothing has a special resonance today, and this Of Horror t-shirt is definitely our top pick.

Spoiler alert: this ten minute Dead Space video is packed with all the myriad ways you can die in the game; if you don’t feel like hurling your previous meal, take a pass.

From the same team who brought us Max Payne, Alan Wake is about an insomniac horror writer who travels to a sleepy small town. Fortunately for him, things go horribly wrong.

Available in a few days, Stephen King’s Dark Tower: Long Road Home gets a hardcover edition that spans issues #1-#5; this creepy comic series is great for alternate reality fans.
