NECA To Release Ashy Slashy Puppet In 2017

Published

Written by Patti Pauley

It’s only been a few days since the second season finale of Ash vs. Evil Deadand we’re already having massive withdrawals. Last year, the widely successful return of the grooviest chins on the planet paired with a chainsaw, proved that Ash Williams not only belongs on the big screen, but can tell an engaging and hilarious story week after week on the boob-tube as well. The second season brought (and took away) a colorful array of characters such as the introduction to Ash’s disapproving father, that son-of-a-bitch demon Baal, and the adorably lovable, wise-cracking Ashy Slashy puppet.

Ashy Slashy first made his comical debut in the S2E7 of “Delusion” where Ash (Bruce Campbell) is in a mind trap with Baal disguised as a doctor in a mental institution. Baal is hammering the notion into his noggin’ that the past three decades of Ash’s life have been nothing but a delusion. Then up pops Ashy Slashy. A puppet given to Ash by the demon to work out his ‘issues’, and as it turns out, this damn fine muppet from hell is just as, if even more vulgar than his human counterpart. And here I thought Ash couldn’t get any cooler. But there he is, in glorious foul-mouthed muppet form. Apparently, famed toy company NECA thinks he’s pretty damn kick-ass too. Because they’ve announced they’re making a replica Ashy Slashy puppet available for purchase in 2017!

 

 

Collector toy and figurine company NECA are notorious for paying fabulous attention to detail into anything they produce, so I wouldn’t be surprised if this “stunningly handsome puppet”  rang off a few vulgarities to make it legit. Or at the very least, I’m throwing that out there in the case they read this, “cough cough.” Also worth mentioning, if the puppet is popular enough for NECA to take notice, I really doubt we’ve seen the last of Ashy Slashy at all as far as the show. At least I hope not anyway as our frontal lobe’s could benefit highly from future Ashy Slashy shenanigans. Official release date coming soon as the company releases more info.

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed

Published

on

Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.

This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.

The Burning

The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.

The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.

Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.

Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
