It’s that time of year again, boys and girls! The temperature has dropped, the leaves have turned from green to varying shades of orange and red; children dress in the guise of their favorite characters, and the flickering of candles show the yellow grins of the jack-o-lanterns adorning the porches of your neighborhood. It’s Halloween, folks, and while there’s plenty of people out there that like cute, plastic pumpkins on their doors, we here at Geeks of Doom like our Halloweens a little more horrifying. So, it’s with this, Halloweekend, that I will be bringing to you a series of horror-themed features that showcase the wicked side of geek entertainment.

In the second installment of what I like to call the Halloweekend of Doom, I will be exploring 13 films that will completely fill your Halloween. Don’t want to stop watching horror movies all day? I’ve got your back, sunshine. From midnight to midnight, this list is chock full of frightening elements. Not all are what I personally consider horror, but they’re all perfect for Halloween.

William Peter Blatty recently brought a revised and expanded version of his blockbuster horror novel The Exorcist back to stores in celebration of the 40th anniversary since his spectacularly chilling story took the world by storm and became the basis of a classic film that to this day remains one of the scariest movies ever made. HarperCollins released The Exorcist: 40th Anniversary Edition in hardcover and eBook on October 4, 2011.

Somehow, The Exorcist has gone from terrifying to adorable, first with the Crochet Amigurumi Playset, and now with a playful claymation version of the film recreated in just 60 seconds.

Watch the video here below of the claymation version of The Exorcist told in 60 seconds.

The power of yarn compels you!

Artist Croshame (aka Shove Mink) created the most awesome combination of cute and sick with The Exorcist Crochet Amigurumi Playset.

Check out the photo of the playset here at right.

This playset depicts a scene from the classic horror film, The Exorcist, where a young demon-possessed girl projectiles green vomit onto the priest performing an exorcist on her. You’ve never seen vomit look so adorable.

Visit the artist’s gallery for some other cool creations, like Grimm the Little Black Metal Guy (want!!!) and Who Killed Nancy? (a Sid & Nancy murder playset, complete with tiny knife!). You can also visit her Etsy shop to purchase some of the artist’s handmade crafts.

Today, The Exorcist Extended Director’s Cut was released on Blu-ray and DVD, as well as for the first time to iTunes along with Bonus extras. We here at Geeks of Doom have one iTunes download of the film with the bonus extras to giveaway to one lucky reader!
