Feb 13, 2019
Love is in the air this week, that special holiday where you give someone your heart. Or take theirs by force if they won’t give it to you. Yes, Valentine’s Day. So after some news, we’ll cover the drive-in classic, “Valentine (2001)” followed by our discussion of the short films, “ My Sweet Valentine” and “Valentine’s Die”, and a little more recent, but still not-quite-new horror feature film, “My Bloody Valentine (2009)”. Open that box of chocolates, pour yourselves some wine, and relax. Here we go…
News Features:
1. The new horror series "Welcome To Daisyland" will debut its
first episode February 14th, 2019 on the BlackBoxTV channel on
YouTube. Per the about page on their website "WELCOME TO DAISYLAND
is a horror anthology series set behind the gates of the Daisyland
Carnival, a music & mayhem shadow show. The carnival is a small but
legendary one that began its run sometime in the early 1970s. No
one knows for sure exactly when, only that is has appeared every
fall, across the country in a series of vacant lots and overgrown
fields, far from the reach of city lights and the law." Their
website has trailers, behind the scenes teasers and lots more
information about the show. Definitely looks work checking out!

2. I knew that somebody had to have done it, and I was right. Candy.com sells what they proclaim to be the world's largest gummy candy heart. Life-sized and weighing in at 1 and pounds, this cherry-flavored anatomically-correct sweet delight can be yours for only $15.95. Cheaper on bulk orders if you want to give one to all of your friends, add a little fake blood, and walk around the park gnawing and slurping.
3. Happy Death Day 2U gets a 2019 Valentine's release with its
official opening February 13th, 2019. A sequel to the 2017 film
Happy Death Day, it promises more of the dark humor, scares, and
gore that made the first one a pretty solid hit. Tree is
transported back to the repeating day where she dies over and over
again, only this time there are friends stuck in the loop with her.
Warning, there is a serious spoiler of the first movie in the
preview for the sequel. It also looks like you would get much more
out of the sequel if you see the first one first. That said, it
looks great and worth seeing for sure.

4. A trailer for the new Child's Play movie for 2019 has been
unboxed (see what I did there), and it looks really awesome. They
look like they are going back to the beginning of things for a
reboot. It's a bit of a teaser, and Chucky is pretty well hidden in
the trailer, but it's enough to get you hooked. It's not clear that
there's even a supernatural element to Chucky now, and they may
have gone in the direction of science fiction horror. This time
around, the Buddi dolls are high tech robot companions made by a
Kaslan Corporation, and they have a terrific tie-in website. You
can see the trailer, read about the specifications of the Buddi
dolls, read about other high-tech products by Kaslan, and hear a
special message from founder Henry Kaslan himself.

5. For serious fans and collectors of The Walking Dead, AMC's
official merchandising has just released a limited edition resin
statue of Negan in action head-bashing a walker and fighting off
two others for only $449.95. Limited to 1,000 copies. Of if you'd
like something a little less expensive and more practical, they
have an amazing assortment of stuff from shirts, to mugs, to toys,
to lamps. Even if you don't buy, it's a fun site to poke around in.
Just don't get bit.
