Michael Meyers Halloween Blood Globe

Posted on October 8, 2013 | Comments Off on Michael Meyers Halloween Blood Globe

In 1998, the industry was celebrating the 20th anniversary of John Carpenter’s Halloween and released something truly special for the fans of the film. If you happened to wander into a Suncoast video store, you may have stumbled upon this limited edition 20th Anniversary Commemorative Halloween “blood” globe. Seriously… Suncoast video stores were a real godsend to horror movie fanatics like myself back in the day. Their horror sections were always filled with movies that no other stores carried, and they also had a knack for selling some great monster toys too. You can still buy them here.

There is a secret tiny one-room museum tucked away in a NYC freight elevator. The items on display range from the shoe thrown at President George Bush to a collection of items confiscated from prison inmates. Though the museum is only open occasionally, the objects within are always visible through the transparent doors of the elevator. Viewers can also call a toll-free number and punch in another set of digits (each object on display has its own extension) to get information about each curio. via

TIL: The origin of “when it rains it pours”

Today I learned where this phrase comes from. The Morton company’s logo (from 1914) and its motto, “When it rains it pours” (from 1911), were developed to illustrate the point that Morton Salt was free flowing and didn’t clump even in humid rainy weather. (via)
