Because of the hugely successful giveaway I held last year, [read: no one participated] I couldn’t help but think I should have another one.   This time I am bound and determined to give something away.   Actually, I’m going to do more than that, I’m going to give a lot away.  I have been collecting items for a prize box including a gift card for Skreened and some shirts from my collection.  But that’s nothing.  I also went to the Barnes & Noble, Amazon.com, Spirit Halloween, and got in touch with an actor I have worked with, in the past, to add some more prizes to the box.  I now have ten items and all you have to do is answer a multiple choice question and you win it all.   First up, let's take a look at the prize pack.

• Battery Powered LED Mini Strobe Light
• 50 Pack of Glow Bracelets
• Halloween Sound Effect CD which also doubles as a Night Of The Living Dead DVD.
• Very Scary Music CD with tracks from classic Horror and Thriller films like The Exorcist, The Shining, and Poltergeist.
• $20 Skreened Gift Card good for online or in store (Columbus, Ohio) purchases.
• The Monster Squad on Blu-Ray Disc
• Brand New Zombie Survival Guide Book (paperback)
• Zombies: Eat Flesh shirt courtesy of Mongo Angry!  Mongo Smash!
• Zombey Road shirt courtesy of Mongo Angry!  Mongo Smash!
• Signed Photo From Actor David L. Early of Dawn of the Dead, Creepshow, The Dark Half, and Silence of the Lambs fame, and all around cool guy.

If you haven't become a fan of Mongo on Facebook, well, what the hell are you waiting for?  Big news is afoot.  On Friday, I will launch my Halloween 2010 giveaway and one fan will walk away with a prize vault containing ten items fit for the Halloween season.   To enter is simple.  I will ask a question and there are no wrong answers.  It's multiple choice with a write in answer to boot.   If it were any easier a zombie could win it.  So, join up or stay tuned to Friday at Midnight for more details.


Peace - Love - Brains

Movie monsters have been around for over 70 years.  In the last three years there has been renewed interest in those classical monsters thanks to Twilight, True Blood, The Gates, and The Vampire Diaries.  But there was a movie, back in the 80s, that starred Dracula, Frankenstein, the Mummy, The Gill Man, and The Wolfman all together in one film.   It's a bit of a cult classic called The Monster Squad.  Those of us who grew up in the 80s and had HBO saw this in heavy rotation.  It's one of my favorites.   It even inspired me to create two designs based on the film and they are available in my shops.  

The “Pop Culture Back To School Tour” is reached its last stop. What better way to end this series than to give you two designs based on one of the hottest shows on television, Glee.


I admit, I didn’t think Glee would take off, like it did. I was hopeful, but I usually find that shows I really like and think are very well done tend to get cancelled early on and in favor of some stupid reality show or cookie cutter sitcom starring a standup comic past their prime. Glee managed to break the mold and stick around thanks to its production values and relevancy. After all, remember Cop Rock or Viva Laughlin or The Heights? Glee at least combines great musicality with pop culture relevance. Madonna, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, hello? Not to mention Jane Lynch plays one of the greatest viper tongued characters since Michael Emerson on LOST. Could you imagine pitting Benjamin Linus and Sue Sylvester in a battle of wills? Holy crap that would be awesome.


But, we are here to praise Pop Culture Academia and with that I give you two designs based around Glee.
