Rotten Tom at Rotten Jack's Creep Shack, the coolest horror shop in Depew, New York, is awarding posters for the first five FRIDAY THE 13th films to one lucky Fear Zone contestant.

And that person would be...

Jason Lees, who correctly answered:

Which entry first introduced Jason Voorhees: FRIDAY THE 13th
Which one first featured Jason as a killer: FRIDAY THE 13th Part II
Which one first presented Jason as a zombie: FRIDAY THE 13th Part VI JASON LIVES

How fitting that a Jason should win!

I received this e-mail today from Rotten Tom over at Rotten Jack's Creep Shack, one of the premiere horror shops in this dimension:



Due to the success of last year's Rotten Jack's Creep Show, the powers of creatively creepy commerce at The Shack have determined that another extravaganza is in order for 2008. It will be bigger than the flies on your favorite zombie's back with even more dark, delicious fun than the tasty brains on last year's plate!



This is the big advance notice many of you have hoped for. So yank that new calendar off the wall and mark this down in blood (the fake kind, please).

--of Fear Zone's Johnny Gruesome Death Mask contest:

James McGillvray, the self proclaimed president of the Johnny Gruesome Fan Club. If you can't tell, James is wearing the Matty Mask creation in this photo, taken by his father, Ron, aka "cellar dweller." Mounted on the Canadian wall behind him is a promotional Gruesome poster, and on the floor before him are the Gruesome CD, the Limited Edition hardcover, and the Trading Cards. This kid's got it all!

What does that bumper sticker in his hands say? Only time will tell. But lest you fear that Ye Old Editor's teenage zombie has become Fear Zone's unofficial mascot, rest assured that Johnny has other aspirations!

James, don't ... (more…)

We have a winner for Matty Mask's Name that Mask contest!

Matt Patterson, the "Matt" in Matty, has selected Rick Hipson the contest winner for his suggestion, "The Cheshire Hooligan from the Under-Aged Underworld."

Congratulations, Rick! Matt is shipping your prize directly, so don't bother me if you don't receive it anytime soon. What is it with Canadians winning all of our mask contests?

The losers--er, non-winners--should head over to Horror Yearbook, where our friends are running the exact same contest! I guess the Cheshire Hooligan changes identities a lot...

When you strike out at HYB, just buy the damn mask! (more…)

The Nameless Mask will sell for $25 + $5 shipping one he has a name. Contest ends Sunday, January 20th. (more…)
