Scream 6 Releases the Coolest Teaser Poster EVER


By now, everybody knows the drill when it comes to eagerly awaited movie releases. We get teaser images, teaser trailers and teaser posters, each of which providing some kind of hint as to what viewers can expect. Then there's Scream 6.

Anyone who has been keeping an eye on this sequel knows that it will take place in New York City, and the recent teaser trailer showed surviving characters from the last Scream movie riding in a NYC subway car. The latest Scream 6 poster plays with the subway idea and takes it to a completely new level:


I mean, just LOOK at this thing. It uses a subway map to connect characters from the previous five movies and does so in a way that forms the shape of a Ghostface mask. Each color line corresponds to each movie in the series, and those lines feature the names of the characters who only appear in that particular film and the order in which they were killed. (Note that the Scream 6 line is "in construction".) Just as each Scream movie revolves around the mystery of who is wearing the Ghostface mask and why, this poster connects the names together in a way that is reminiscent of the common mystery/suspense trope where characters use string to connect clues together on a pegboard.

Almost all of the names on this poster are characters who died in the previous five movies, except for two: Sam Carpenter (Melissa Barrera) and Kirby Reed (Hayden Panettiere). Sam Carpenter's name is in all capital letters, while Kirby Reed is listed as "closed". What exactly this means is a mystery (of course), but it is still a fun and creative way to acknowledge the franchise's long history while teasing a new chapter. Scream 6 opens on March 10, 2023.

The Art of Tron: Uprising (Part 1 of 4): Characters

Image
This month marks the one year anniversary of the cancellation of Tron: Uprising , which aired on Disney XD for 19 episodes. Set between the events of Tron and Tron: Legacy , Uprising chronicled the events shortly after Clu’s rise to power within the stand-alone Grid created by Kevin Flynn. Personally, I think that Tron: Uprising got a raw deal from Disney. It’s a fantastic addition to the Tron saga that went on to win both Emmy and Annie Awards , yet Disney clearly had other priorities and was willing to toss Uprising aside without so much as an official cancellation notice. Even to this day, Uprising has yet to be released on DVD or Blu-ray and I’m wondering if it ever will. In honor of this amazing animated series that was cut down in its prime, I have decided to do something that Disney won’t. Since there will never be an official Tron: Uprising art book, I have searched across the Internet to find a selection of art from Uprising that I can share here on my blog with ...

FOUND: Mechanical Shark from Universal Jaws Theme Park Ride

Image
When the Universal Studios Theme Park in Florida shut down its Jaws ride back in January 2012, Jaws fans everywhere were devastated. Yet even though this part of the Jaws franchise is no longer operational, some of its sharks are swimming around out there … including places such as Frederick, Maryland. A few days ago, I was contacted by a fellow Jaws fan named John Ryan, asking me if I knew anything specific regarding the sharks from the Universal Jaws ride. He was asking because he thought he found one and is trying to verify its authenticity. We spoke on the phone and exchanged a few emails, and here’s what he told me about his find: “I've been collecting Jaws memorabilia for decades and when I found this incredibly rare gem sitting in a backyard in Frederick, Maryland, I wondered about its connection to the state. The current homeowners said the shark was already there when they purchased the property. They also told me it had been the subject of neighborhood rumor for y...

Machine Robo's Magnificent Robot Combiners

Image
I don't collect Transformers merchandise, but I see articles and advertisements about it when I browse through Japanese robot toy sites. From what I can gather, one of the latest product lines for Transformers is called "Combiner Wars" , a line that consists of five or six transforming robot toys that combine into one bigger robot. Combiner robot toys have been around for a long time, and Transformers had quite a few of them even back in the '80s. Yet of the many combiner robot toys I've seen over the years, the ones that have consistently impressed me were the ones released by Bandai under the Machine Robo line. Whereas other robot toy lines are stuck in the novelty of combining smaller toys into a bigger toy, Machine Robo has used the concept of combination to promote creative play. Read on for a review of how Machine Robo has built upon its combiner toys throughout the years.
