ChromeSkull

Here's ChromeSkull from Robert Hall's new film "Laid to Rest."

Overall I enjoyed this nasty little slasher film, but having just watched Hall's debut film "Firefly" I have to admit to being some what disappointed with "Laid to Rest."

In "Firefly" Hall creates characters that you become attached to and really want to make it out of the shitty situation they find themselves in, that sense of real evolved characters is sadly missing from LTR. If he would have spent the time creating well rounded characters and inserted them into LTR the results would have been devastating.

Still, the combination of grisly effects work strewn throughout LTR and the introduction of the sleek new slasher "ChromeSkull" make for an enjoyable ride.

Okay, way off topic, but The Bird was my only childhood sports hero, so I couldn't let his passing go without comment...

Update

Hey all,

Thanks for all the support, we had a blast at HorrorHound Indy!
I'm really hoping to post some new work here very soon, but I am currently working on a Plague of Zombies piece for Little Shoppe of Horrors Magazine, a Forrest J. Ackerman portrait for Scary Monsters Magazine, and a variant cover for the Vincent Price Presents comic.

After that I'll get to some of your requests, look for new portraits of Dexter, American Werewolf, The Killer Klowns, and Karloff as the Grave Digger... As well as portraits of makeup legend Jack Pierce, and director James Whale. (Who knows maybe I'll even get around to finishing the Clark Ashton Smith portrait my good friend has been longing for.)

If you have other requests be sure to send them in!

In the meantime, here are a few pics from HorrorHound Indy!

I'm pretty sure that Rob Zombie must have past through here at some point.

The ScOttRa Monster Art Booth.


It was great to see old friend Robert Freese again.


We were lucky enough to be right across from the adorable ladies from Sinister Sweets, who provided much entertainment every time a creepy clown would walk by.

Mrs. ScOttRa was excited to me Monster Kid Danny Roebuck, or as she likes to call him Dr. Arnzt from Lost. Dan's a great guy, if you haven't already be sure to pick up a copy of "Halloween . . . The Happy Haunting of America" You won't regret it!

This guys Tattoos were amazing, just beautiful work... Sadly I lost the name of the artist, but behold...





This little guy was awesome!

And finally, I'll leave you with some of the amazing mask/sculpture work that was on display... The Pinhead from Freaks and the Lugosi Dracula were personal favorites, just stunning.
