Oh, how I love the 80’s… Well, at least when it comes to cheesy horror movies. And SPOOKIES, although mildly atmospheric and effectively creepy at some moments, is a prime example of how crazy an 80’s horror movie could get.

Two different movies with two different results
For the vast majority of horror fans, filmmakers Argento, Romero, Carpenter and Craven are very well respected figures in the history of horror cinema, having shaped the genre in the last half of the 20th century. And for many amongst that vast majority of horror fans, the idea of a project involving the four of them is certainly an immensely attractive one.

Stand by your man
Danny and Denise are happy newlyweds, enjoying their honeymoon at their uncle’s house near the beach. After being attacked on the beach by a mysterious, rotting individual rising from the sea, Danny is pronounced dead at the hospital… only to wake up again ten minutes later.
Redhead’s Studio is coming out with…zombie themed wine, called Return of the Living Red.
This is what they say about it: “Mash has been involved with a variety of packaging and branding projects with Redheads Studio of McLaren Vale. At the top end of their fine wines is the ‘Return of the Living Red’. Packaging needed the usual unique Redheads touch. As this wine is non-vintage it has no age (the 2 grape varieties coming from different vintages). This was a complex fine wine with no listed age; a mysterious and intriguing wine. To compliment this the nature of the product, Mash developed a concept to create a small pack containing missing and/or suppressed crime files implying the existence of the living dead in and around the vineyards. With use of disturbing illustrations and fascinating old photos on a toothy uncoated paper the concept was bought to life. A slip knot with old twine and a deep red wax dipped bottle went with the old crime file folder to create one of our favorite wine packaging pieces.”
Maybe it’s just me, but don’t wake me until they come up with a horror-themed scotch.
