Artist gets Seussian with 'Evil Dead,' Lovecraft and more

What do you get when you take the covers of beloved Dr. Seuss books and combine them with literary and film horror classics? The answer is, some creatively cool art by Australian artist DrFaustusAU.

A few of the covers actually evolved into Seussian re-tellings (for beginning readers) of H.P. Lovecraft favorites. Namely, Dagon, The Tomb and The Call of Cthulhu. We’re not sure if Lovecraft would approve of these versions, but we sure do.

In the spirit of the Evil Dead reboot, check out "The Evil Dead are in My Shed." Ash as a Seuss character is truly inspiring.

I chained and locked the cellar door--
There's something strange beneath the floor.

And who wouldn’t love to venture to the horrifying abandoned mine town of Silent Hill in “Some Time to Kill in Silent Hill?”

What is this place?
I cannot tell.

Is it just fog,
or is it hell?

Check these and more out at Dr. Faustus' work at his site.

Many highly-anticipated films, such as The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and the final installment of the Twilight Saga will thrill fans and a couple of animated flicks will delight the kiddos (and adults).

So which of these following paranormal, horror or fantasy movies are you excited to see? Which...not so much? Look ahead to see the list...

Horror Pop Culture: June 8

NECA Reveals ‘Hero From the Sky’ Ash Figure!
Horror collectors rejoice! The first series of Evil Dead 2 figures, featuring ‘Farewell to Arms’ Ash and ‘Deadite’ Ash, were huge hits and Series Two - which is to feature the first-ever Henrietta figure - has yet to hit shelves. But NECA has revealed photos of their third exclusive figure for the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con! Straight from the end of the Evil Dead 2, after traveling back in time to the Dark Ages, it’s ‘Hero from the Sky’ Ash! Judging from the photos, Ash comes equipped with his boomstick, chainsaw and a pretty cool display base, as well as that confused looking mug of his. The figure is painted in sepia tones, capturing a unique old-school horror look in honor of the film’s 25th anniversary. Although it’s a shame you’ll only be able to pick this up at this year’s Comic-Con in San Diego (and probably eBay afterwards for a jacked-up price), if you’re going, it would definitely be worth picking up… or giving it to someone (hint hint).
