We love cats at Frost, but that doesn’t stop us loving this menacing cat candle. With an imaginative inner the Pyro Pet candle unveils its eerie interior once burned.

It’s feisty feline appearance is the both beauty and brilliance in one, Kisa was made to kindle.

Made to melt, this candle peels away the prrr’fect pink to reveal a surreal skull, sculpted out of metal.

Almost Aztec in shape, the sharp and sleek design is strikingly beautiful conveying an innocent idea of the cat. The frame inside is almost frightening and portrays a pet of two halves.

How to get the Zombie look this Halloween

Posted on by

Halloween is here, so to make sure you bag the most treats – Big Fish has created the ultimate guide to looking and walking like a Zombie, to celebrate the launch of its spooky new game Zombie! Zombie! Zombie! (ZX3).

zombie, how to get the zombie look

Getting the look…

  1. First, prepare your skin by cleaning and moisturising.
  2. Create the base. Apply a foundation that is either three shades lighter than your natural skin tone or use a white make-up. This will help give you that cold, dead look. Do not apply the foundation too evenly or thick – unless you want to look like a vampire or a clown! Use either a natural sea sponge or a cheap make-up sponge and pick pieces out to create a destroyed surface by dabbing the make-up around your face. The look you’re going for is blotchy.
  3. Don’t forget to apply the same foundation to your lips and any other skin that is showing – your ears, neck and hands.
  4. Using a purple or light blue eyeliner pencil, draw on some veins around your eyes cheeks and forehead.
  5. Reapply a layer of foundation on top of the veins to wash them out a bit.
  6. Shade the hollows of your cheeks, eye sockets, temples, and under your chin. Use a black matte powder and a large dome blending brush. This creates a gaunt look.
  7. Using a green shade to add to the depth of your look. Apply with another soft dome brush. Concentrate the colour to the outside of your face and around your mouth, including on your lips. Just like your foundation, the application should not be even.
  8. Now it’s time to add the blood!  Use a splatter effect to apply fake blood around your mouth or dip a large sponge in fake blood and take a “bite” into the sponge. Where it is heavy, let it drip and don’t smear the blood.
  9. For the ultimate finish you can add white contacts, stringy dirty hair, dirty looking nails, and torn bloody clothes.

Getting the walk…

  1. Move slowly… Your muscles have wasted… and you have lost your coordination… shuffle and don’t walk in a straight line.
  2. Your neck is broken, so let your head loll from side to side with your movements, and keep your head down rather than up.
  3. Have a limp and drag one of your legs behind you, if you put one shoe on the end of your feet and wear thick socks you can create the illusion that your ankle has snapped – but remember to wear long trousers for this effect to truly work!
  4. Let your hands and arms hang loosely from your sides, when you move them do so slowly as you must remember that you don’t have much muscle power left in your arms!
  5. For extra inspiration and to get you into the spirit this Halloween, download Big Fish’s new Free-to-play game Zombie! Zombie! Zombie! available on iPad. Get ready to think quick, shoot quicker, and fight for your life against endless waves of un-dead with an arsenal of weaponry and zombie blasting power-ups.

Horror Channel Brings Winter Chills

Posted on by

 

Friday 9th, Saturday 10th & Sunday 11th Nov, 10.55pm

 

Deep and crisp and bloody! Get ready to be frozen to the bone this November with Horror Channel’s Winter Chills Weekend – featuring some truly snow-filled spine tingling premieres.

 

 

Fri Nov 9 @ 22:55

The hills are alive – with undead Nazis as the season kicks off with the premiere of DEAD SNOW (2009), a beautifully nasty horror comedy directed by Tommy Wirkola (Run Lola Run). With a car full of ski equipment and enough beer to fuel their escape from everyday life, eight medical students head out on their vacation.  Isolated in the snowy hills the group begin to realise they came to the wrong resort, as deep in the hills lay an unthinkable evil.

 

Sat Nov 10 @ 22.55

 

The season continues with BLOOD RUNS COLD (2011). Swedish director Sonny Laguna gives the slasher genre a welcome Scandinavian make-over. Record-producer Winona heads to her hometown on the outskirts of Stockholm for a break… Shortly after settling in, she invites a former boyfriend and a couple to the house. But there is an unknown presence stirring within the house, one that has been waiting for the right moment to strike.

 

Sun Nov 11 @ 22.55

 

Wrapping up the season is sci-fi horror thriller THE THAW (2009) Directed by Mark A Lewis, it stars Val Kilmer as Dr. Krupien the head of a team of ecology students, who are examining a melting ice cap in the Arctic.  When Krupien unearths a prehistoric specimen the likes of which has never been seen, he summons four of his brightest students to take part in the excavation. But the melting polar ice-cap has released a deadly pre-historic par

Del Toro kicks off World Sinema Season on Horror Channel

Posted on by

Horror Channel serves up three slices of sinful celluloid in its World SINema Season – three premieres that highlight taboo, terror and blasphemy

 

Fridays at 22:55 from 7 Sept, 2012

 

The season kicks off on Friday Sept 7, 22:55 with THE DEVIL’S BACKBONE (2001) from Spanish Pan’s Labyrinth director Guillermo Del Torro.  Beautifully shot and immensely creepy the film explores two different types of horror – the very real horror of war and the exploration of horror experienced through a child’s eyes (Carlos), one of ghost’s and the supernatural.

 

Guillermo has stated this is his favourite work so far, and was a 16 year labour of love. It was influenced by early memories of seeing his uncle come back as a ghost and the creepy spectre that appears to Carlos was based on the pale faced ghosts in Japanese horrors like The Ring.

 

 

Next up on Friday Sept 14, 22:55 is THE ANTICHRIST (1974), which delves dangerously deep into the blasphemous aspects of demonic possession.

 

Ippolita, a young woman wheelchair-bound and sexually frustrated, finds herself under the spell of Satan himself when she becomes victim to an ancestral curse of witchcraft and possession. She starts seducing local men, only to kill them and an exorcism seems to be the only solution to stop the madness

 

The controversial Satanic orgy scene will certainly have a few tongues wagging with its implication of bestiality

 

 

The last in the season on Fri Sept 21, 22:55, is one of the most absurd, gruesome French horrors ever made – BABY BLOOD (1990)

 

Yanka, a young circus performer, is pregnant but morning sickness and fat ankles are the least of her problems when a new leopard from Africa is delivered to the circus – a beautiful beast hiding a hideous creature within.

 

And as the months progress, Yanka suffers from an overpowering appetite… for blood. Or rather, her unborn baby is screaming for it. And she is forced to kill and kill again…
