Joe Bob Briggs Shows off Tall Man Funko Coin Pop

Famed horror host Joe Bob Briggs tweeted yesterday his praise for mega-phan Scott Pensa's 40th Anniversary Tall Man Coin Pop. Obviously, Joe Bob has great taste in movies and collectibles. Inspired by the wildly popular Funko Pop! series of figures, this "Coin Pop" is a terrific way to commemorate this wonderful occasion.

And it's not too late to grab your own Tall Man Coin Pop! Silver sphere editions are limited to 100 and cost $20 each. Gold sphere editions are limited to just 40 (only a few of these remaining) and must be purchased with a silver sphere edition ($40 per set). The spheres all say "40th Anniversary" on them.

Each Tall Man "Coin Pop" is numbered on his foot and they stand on their own with ease. Shipping is $7.90 for priority USPS with tracking (USA only). Contact Scott at scottyrascal@yahoo.com to get yours before they run out!

Higher-Res Artwork for the 40th Anniversary Sphere Set!

Courtesy artist Aaron Lea's Instagram, we now have much better looks at the original artwork he created for the upcoming 40th Anniversary Blu-ray set coming this October from Well Go USA. So marvelous to finally see all three franchise heroes represented in one packaging. Has that ever happened before either on a poster or home video cover? I don't think so.

Angus Scrimm's Final Movie Hits Home Video

I'm a little late with this one, but Dances with Werewolves - which contains Angus Scrimm's final screen performance - was finally released onto physical home video on February 28. Angus appears in a supporting role as Neumann, a vagrant character. The Dan Golden-helmed project marks the Tall Man actor's final film as his part was shot long after he wrapped work on Phantasm Ravager. Golden and Scrimm previously worked together on 2006's Satanic, which also starred horror icon Jeffrey Combs. Grab your DVD copy of the film here.

The film's IMDb plot summary reads, "When Cassie flees an abusive relationship, and falls victim to a moon-worshiping 600 year old Romanian Countess; a troubled paranormal investigator of Native American heritage finds himself in a deadly love triangle with a battered-woman werewolf."
