The upcoming Watchmen movie is generating lots of buzz, largely due to the theatrical trailer now showing before the new James Bond movie.
Here’s the new trailer. Wow, this movie looks intense!
“Maybe someone’s picking off costumed heroes…” Uh oh, that can’t end well.
Alan Moore’s Watchmen is arguably THE best, most celebrated graphic novel ever made. The story is dark, gritty and incredibily compelling.
I think the costumes look just awesome. There’s definitely a retro feel to them. The film is set in an alternate 1985, and follows a group of former vigilantes as war begins to break out between the United States and the Soviet Union.
Here are a few more publicity stills, enjoy! For more information, visit the official movie website.
This is extremely cool. A complete, authentic vampire slaying kit! A must have for all Vampire Hunters.
Made in the year 1800, this kit contains stakes, holy water, a gun (with silver bullets), crosses, a Bible, mirrors, candles and garlic! It comes in a hand-crafted walnut case with a carved cross on top.
The antique kit recently sold at an auction in Mississippi for a mere $14,850. WOW.
This is the real thing, it’s not a toy. Someone wasn’t playing around, eh? I wasn’t completely convinced before, but now I’m sure vampires are real. And I NEED a kit like this one ASAP.

Just when you think you’ve seen it all. Chocolate costumes!!
The Chocolate Show in New York City debuted with a chocolate superhero fashion show. These costumes were created by chocolatiers and pastry chefs, and I must say they look very tasty!
Shown above are photos of a chocolate Batgirl and Laura Croft in this “edible catwalk extravaganza.”
Via Telegraph.co.uk:
Bat Girl sported a fitted chocolate bodice as well as large chocolate wings with the classic comic-book words ‘Kapow’ and ‘Bang’ painted onto them.
The Lara Croft outfit comprised a chocolate bikini top and chocolate hotpants complete with a chocolate holster and guns.
Of course, no superhero fashion show would be complete without Wonder Woman and Iron Man. There was also a bodybuilder outfit complete with giant chocolate dumbells, as well as a fantastic Warrior Woman made of French chocolate that reportedly took 120 hours to make.
Wow, that’s pretty crazy. Let’s hope they kept the room temperature nice and cool.
Simply amazing! Wouldn’t this make a great “Got Milk?” commercial?

Ghostbusters was a huge hit in 1984, and today the franchise is as strong as ever. Atari just announced a new Ghostbusters video game, and Hollywood sources have confirmed a third Ghostbusters movie is in the works! Apparently, the writers from the NBC comedy, “The Office,” will write the script.
Sounds great, I can’t wait for a new movie!
Feeling nostalgic? Why not treat yourself to the original Ghostbusters movie? You can watch the entire movie FREE on Hulu.com:
The WWE RAW recently broadcast a Diva Costume Contest to celebrate Halloween.
In the true spirit of Halloween, the women wrestlers dressed in costume and then proceeded to beat each other up. Here are a few photos of their costumes and also a video clip from the broadcast.
PARAMUS, N.J. (CBS) - West Brook Middle School students celebrated Halloween last Friday by wearing costumes to school. But 13-year-old Alex Woinski was kicked out for showing up in a Jesus costume. Alex has long brown hair and bears a striking resemblance to Jesus, his friends say.
According to the school principal, his costume was offensive to some students, and this was the first time any student had dressed like Jesus.
“I don’t think I overreacted,” Principal Joan Broe told CBS news.

What do you think? Is the costume offensive? Did the principal overreact? Feel free to share your opinions in the comments below.
So, did everyone have a good Halloween? For the folks in Grand Rapids, Michigan, it was killer.
Over 3,000 zombies gathered in the streets, apparently breaking a world record. This is awesome.
