Michael Myers Costume

I Want My VOD: June 2011

John Carpenter's The Ward
For his first feature in almost ten years, horror maestro John Carpenter heads back into the loony bin, the same setting that produced Halloween 's Michael Myers some thirty years ago. Set in a gloomy asylum sometime in the early '60s, the plot follows a troubled young girl named Kristen (Amber Heard) who starts to suspect that she and her fellow residents (including Mamie Gummer and Danielle Panabaker) are being haunted by a pesky poltergeist with revenge on its mind. Repeated attempts to escape just win her electroshock treatments and stern talking-tos by the head doctor, played by Jared Harris from Mad Men . Carpenter's enough of a pro to wring some modest suspense out of the location and B-movie veteran Heard caterwauls like a classic '70s scream queen, but the movie suffers from a repetitive structure and an eye-rollingly silly final twist. Past triumphs like Halloween , The Thing and Big Trouble in Little China assure that Carpenter's reputation as a genre master will remain intact, which is good because The Ward doesn't exactly find him working at the top of his game. (Available on demand via select cable providers. Check listings.)
Best Moment: The asylum's resident ghost pays a visit to Kristen mid-shower, in a scene that's part Psycho and part Porky's .

The Trip
When he's assigned to review a series of restaurants in North England for a prominent London paper, actor and comic Steve Coogan (played by... actor and comic Steve Coogan) reluctantly brings along his semi-good friend Rob Brydon (Rob Brydon) along for the ride. In between lavish, multi-course meals at picturesque eateries and brisk walks through the English countryside, the duo discuss the state of their lives and careers and bicker over which of them is more successful. Did I mention that this movie is actually a comedy? And a really funny one? Originally broadcast in the U.K. as a six-episode television series, The Trip has been boiled down to a roughly two-hour feature and it doesn't feel as though much has been lost in translation. Genuinely close pals in real life, Coogan and Brydon are very convincing fre-nemies onscreen. You never know if they're about to deck one another or hug it out over a pint. (Available now via Movies on Demand and IFC on Demand starting June 22.)
Best Moment: Steve and Rob compete over who can do the best Michael Caine impression. It's a tough call, but my vote goes to Rob.

Up for bid are these very realistic Michael Myers eye inserts made by the PropShop. I paid $80 for these new and never used them. They came flawed and one of the sides where the strap holes are were cast too thin and ripped through it, so I glued it back on and added a thicker strap. There is also a little hole near the nose area of the left eye that needs to be filled and painted, but usually you don't see that part anyway while using it with a mask. Still works great and you can customize the eyes and paint them whatever color you want. I guess technically they are "flawed" though can be fixed easily, I just never had the time and never got around to using them. Other than that they are great looking and realistic eyes, probably the best out there. High quality glass eyes with a great paint job and set in thick plastic. Priced cheaper due to the flaw. As you can see you never see it with a mask. Mask not included. Thanks for looking.

Bring your mask or mannequin to life with our "Eyes of a Psychopath"! These are very realistic glass eyes set in plastic. Hand painted and sculpted to perfection. Our eyes are set in a durable, light weight plastic and can easily be mounted in any mask or on any mask stand. The "Eyes of a Psychopath" will fit any style mask. Comes with a elastic strap and insturctions for quick instalation.
