Horror Movie Shelf I painted
 

Here are some pics of the shelf I just finished painting to store part of my horror collection.

Let me know what you think.

And not that it's for sale or anything, but I'm kinda curious as to what people think something like this could sell for on ebay or something.

since when do martians use butcher knives?

......funny..........

:rolleyes:


It'd be even funnier if anything on there actually looked like a martian.

Did you build it yourself, or just paint it? In my opinion, the blood spattered black looks really awesome, however your Jason and Myers leave some to be desired.

And BTW- If thats all your movies, good lord man! Get collecting!:p

I just got an old shitty ass shelf for free at a garage sale, sanded it down and painted it. I didn't build anything.

As for MM and Jason, I was working with 4 colors and fat brushes so I had to make them more cartoony. I think they turned out really well. Those closeups really show every single flaw but most of that stuff is entirely unnoticeable when you aren't sitting there with your face right up to it. The blood splatters were kinda a bitch to do, I sucked it up in a straw and then spewed it on there repeatedly. (Yuck!)

Puh-lease. That's not even a fiftyth of my movies. That's basically the stuff I've watched in the last month. Instead of putting them back into storage, I've been slowly transferring them to the shelf.

That shelf won't even hold all of my horror movies.

That's VERY cool!! I know you said you didn't have much to work with, as far as the MM and Jason...but it still looks great to me. I have no talent what-so-ever when it comes to painting...so it looks like a fine attempt to me. Good stuff.

Very cool. Im planning to build/buy a similar type of shelf in the near future, the rack thing Im using now is completly full.

so i see we got a Leprachaun fan here...

Very, very COOL!

Hehe... Not especially, but I do own the Pot 'o Gore. (Good eye!)

But that doesn't mean I'm a huge fan of the franchise or anything, actually it kinda sucks. lol (See my gradings in the Last seen movie thread. I think all 5 of those ones in the box set got between C and D-. But being a devoted horror fan, I had to buy it.)
Once I have the whole room set up, I'll post a pic so you guys can see my horror collection.

Gracias!

I would pay maybe 45 bucks for it

Very cool shelf, bwind. Did you just take that bookshelf out to the garage and slop paint on it? Cuz it looks damn good, very gloppy.

Gloppy is good, by the way.

A most excellent job Bwind.

IA75-Yeah, it is pretty gloppy. It was intentional for the blood splatters but the paint I was working with was also pretty thick.

At the moment, I'm contemplating whether or not I should throw a few layers of clearcoat on there to smooth it out. But I doubt I will, I"m kinda lazy, plus it's already in the house so it'd be a pain to haul it back out to the garage.








Thanks Newb!

It still looks good, I wouldn't change it.

Nice work, Bwind. The splatter work is really good. I'm not knocking to two horror icons gracing the sides, but the work would have been well done even if you didn't paint them. However, I think their presence is nicely done up.

So you mean if it was all black with just the splatters and nothing else?

That'd be cool, but when I make the next one (No plans to do it anytime soon) I'll put Leatherface and Freddy on it. Then if I ever make a 3rd one, that one could be just splatters.

:)

No no, if there's a third one put James Earl Jones and Rodney Dangerfield on it.

...y'know... for me.

I met James Earl Jones once. He stayed at the hotel I work at and was sitting in the lobby having some breakfast one morning. I kept looking athim wondering if it was him or not, but then he asked me where the nearest movie theatre was and once I heard his voice, I knew for sure it was him.

Never met Rodney D though.

Was he wearing that big bug costume from Exorcist 2? Cuz that'd be creepy...

No, he had on his Darth Vader gear and was carrying around a little boombox that constantly played the Lion King soundtrack.

hahahaha

wow you have Cabin Fever AND Wrong Turn, i understand one of them but both, that will affect all your movies like a bad apple does the rest of the bunch

Agreed.

Wrong Turn's awesome dude. One of the best straight horror films to come out in the last 5 years for sure.

Cabin Fever... I agree, it's not that great, but I got it cheap and to be honest, it's grown on me a little every time I watched it.

I love that movie, its hilarious.

maybe i was thrown off by the girl on Wrong Turn who whined the whole 75 minutes or so

Michael has a big white pointed head with big black eyes.
Big white pointed heads with big black eyes = martians (or just "aliens")

You mean that red-headed broad, right? Cause Eliza did NO whining.

Nice shelf man the blood looks awsome:D

I like your shelf, Im going to try something like this! MM is my fave, I dont think mine will even look that good!:p

I don't think it will either.

Thanks:p

Eliza doesn't whine. I think it's probably against her nature. She sure is one hell of a sexy woman, though. I wish she was bisexual or a lesbian or something that would make the colossal task of getting in her panties, a little less colossal...if that were possible.

Yeah, I'd really like to copycat your shelf with the blood and all, great job man. I usually don't rip people off but this time I'll make an exception.

Haha. Knock yourself out!

I think it's great.

the one who got her head chopped off when they were tree jumping

I think it's pretty cool, good job.:)
