60-second claymation Evil Dead is as good as the real thing

I like The Evil Dead, but the problem with full length movies is you have to watch them, which requires sitting still and paying attention for a really, really long time. That’s why I think this sixty-second remake is perfect. And the claymation style looks right at home if you remember some of the effects from the original.

The movie was made for a contest for Empire magazine. If you like it, you have until March 12th to vote for it–click over to the Empire site and cast your vote.

There’s a sixty-second version of A Nightmare on Elm Street too, and although it’s got some impressive recreation of Freddy’s glove and his phone-sex gag (see image to the right), it’s nowhere near as satisfying as this one.

Evil Dead remake with clay and done in 60 seconds, made for the Empire Jameson competition 2010. http://www.missinghead.co.uk

Eat your babies: fetus cookie cutters

Make a statement this holiday season, or any time of year, with fetus cookies! Are you saying you’re anti-abortion? Pro-choice? Or that you simply don’t like babies? Or you like them too much? Yum! Crunch!

I love when something can be both offensive and kitschy, which is why I think this fetus shaped cookie cutter from Stupid.com is one of the most brilliant bits of alternative kitchen equipment I’ve seen. Using a fetus as a decorating element seems somehow unsavory in almost any context; adding an edible dimension to it pushes it into fantastic grotesquery.

Drugstore window fights back against “Christmas Creep”

“Christmas Creep” describes how retailers push back the starting date for showcasing Christmas-themed merchandise, decorations, and music in their stores–there was a time (long, long ago) when this was around Thanksgiving, then it edged back to the first of November, and now stores start throwing their good cheer around in August or September. It’s hellish.

But not for my corner drugstore. This photo was taken on December 2, 2008. Yes, his window display is still Halloween-themed a full month after the official holiday! Cross your fingers he leaves it up through December, too.

Zombie Harmony finds that special zombie just for you

This is one of those why-didn’t-I-think-of-that sites of pure awesome: a zombie dating service. Technically, you’re not supposed to join unless you’re a zombie, but that doesn’t have to stop you from browsing the zombie singles: lady zombie “luvs2cuddle” enjoys “long, slow, lumbering walks on the beach,” while the guy who calls himself “Need2Feed” relies a little too much on LOL in his profile.

The site is only a single page, which is a little lame–it would have been nice if the joke had gone a little deeper, but it’s clearly just a marketing stunt for the real dating site Mingle. Still, well done!
