Dapper Cadaver Props at Comi-Con 2013

Posted on by

We don’t have an official booth at Comi-Con this year. But you can still see some Dapper Cadaver props at Comi-Con 2013! Stop by the FANGORIA booth #4018 and get your picture taken with our guillotine and other spooky props. Also, if you love zombies (and who doesn’t?), participate in The Walking Dead Escape to see some of our corpse props and body parts in action.

We are mighty jealous of all you folks enjoying the show, especially with such an amazing line-up of horror sessions happening tomorrow.

Horror Movie Franchises in Space

Posted on by

In honor of the space shuttle Endeavour flying over LA today, we’ve been thinking about the best horror movies set in outer space. In terms of quality, nothing can really beat Alien and its sequels/prequels. (Who else is excited about Prometheus coming out on DVD next month?)

Check out the 1979 trailer for Alien:

But who can forget the horror movie franchises that have gone to space simply because they can:

What horror franchise should go to space next? Saw in space? Paranormal Activity in space? Let us know in the comments!

By the way, if you haven’t already, check out our alien and sci fi props.

Zombie Costume Ideas: Game of Thrones White Walker

Posted on by

There are certain zombies that stand out from the horde. The White Walkers from HBO’s Game of Thrones are extremely unique and iconic. (Not to mention terrifying!) Why not try being a White Walker for Halloween? If you have the FX chops to recreate their blue-eyed leader, you have our total respect. Here is a closer look at the White Walker makeup and prosthetics by Creatures Inc., LTD. But if you have a long brown cape, some furs, ice FX makeup and zombie FX makeup, you should be able to make a pretty convincing White Walker.
