Scary Bishoujo Collection Expands With Child’s Play Characters

Published

on

The company Kotobukiya has taken popular characters from movies, comics, and video games and reimagined them in the cutest of styles!  They call them Bishoujo, meaning “pretty girl” in Japanese.  Many of these characters crafted by Kotobukiya’s are originally male, and have now swapped genders in their plastic frozen forms!

The company has been creating these unique reimaginings for twenty years now, and they use Japan’s top designers and sculptors to arrive at their final product.

Kotobukiya began their horror movie Bishoujos with two of the most famous icons of the genre; Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees.  Both figures were released in 2014 to positive reviews from fans.  Despite having cute bishoujo faces, the designers of these figures have stayed true to the original character in many of their details, which is one of the reasons they are so successful.

The Jason Voorhees statue comes equipped with a very detailed hockey mask, an axe, and of course Jason Voorhees weapon of choice, a machete.  This beautiful vixen means business!

The Freddy Krueger statue comes complete with the classic fedora, ripped sweater revealing her curves, and of course the classic glove made famous in 1984.  This femme fatale will certainly haunt your dreams!

Later this year Kotobukiya plans to release two more figures from the world of horror; Chucky and Tiffany from the Child’s Play series!  They are both available for pre-order here.

Kotobukiya has reimagined the iconic killer doll Chucky of the Child’s Play series in lovely bishoujo form.  Chucky will be released July 26th of this year, as well as an exclusive deluxe version that comes with an alternative “evil” head and an alternative arm with her fingers crossed.  The classic “Good Guy” overalls has been modified in a cute mini skirt denim overall.  The original version also comes with an alternative head riddled with scars, reminiscent of the Chucky we know from the later films.

Chucky’s beautiful counterpart, Tiffany, will be released shortly prior to her mate’s arrival on July 10th!  This lovely statue is dressed in her lacey wedding dress, classic fishnets, and combat boots.  She is ready for trouble!  Above her breast is her tattoo sporting her eternal love for Chucky.  Tiffany is a beautiful and deadly vixen, whether in her original doll form known from the movie franchise or as Kotobukiya’s bishoujo!

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed

Published

on

Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.

This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.

The Burning

The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.

The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.

Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.

Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
