So You Want To Be An Evil Villain...
Eight simple steps to becoming a evil villain by EveryGuyed in honour of Free Comic Book Day. Turns out I'm only 28 Flying Monkeys short of my goal, but the breeding program has really slowed down.
They also have a guide for becoming a hero, but what fun would that be?

Team Twilight Zone
Team Edward or Team Jacob? Those supernatural looks have been seriously toned down after pop artist Casey Weldon gave them the Eye of the Beholder look for Gallery 1988's recent Twilight Zone show. I must have missed it the first time around, but they are for sale again for the holidays. The creepy, creepy holidays.

Geek Menagerie: Toronto Comic Arts Festival
I had a great time at the Toronto Comic Arts Festival on Saturday and I can't believe that I hadn't been before. I came home with a bag full of stuff (more on that later) and met a few of my favourite pop artists like Brandon Bird whose Elysium is above.
I had a great chat with Scott Campbell (above, Picnic With The Draculas) and found out that he is going to be having a show at Gallery 1988 with Olly Moss, which came up because I was wearing Moss' Spoilt tee.
I also got to see the real life version of the Time Machine poster from Ryan North of Dinosaur Comics. There were plenty of others so if are in Toronto the show is on again today. Check it out.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
Video trailers for books are odd things as they just make me want to see them as a film, not dive into some pages. And Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter all the more so, as I can't imagine ever reading it, except maybe in comic book form.
That being said, the idea of the 16th President of the United States of America as a slayer is pretty funny. I can't wait for some kid to include this bit of alt-history in an essay. (Link via The Zeray Gazette)

Every home should be equipped like this, because I've seen a lot of movies and attacks by witches, zombies, dinosaurs, vampires, aliens and the like happen way more often than you'd imagine. Better safe than sorry. (From webcomic Geist Panik, via fandeb)

Twilight: Interview With The Non-Vampire
I joined the Twihards at the Toronto premiere of Twilight: New Moon last night and, as you can hear from the screaming in the video, the audience was made up of mostly hormone-surging girls and women. And that was just for two minor characters (Bella's day Charlie, played by Billy Burke and her school chum Eric, played by Justin Chon. The pair clearly drew the short straws for who had to come to the American Express sponsored event. You threw a good party AmEx, but those guys were B-O-R-E-D.
Despite that, my Twilight knowledge is now slightly higher. I know that vampires sparkle in the sun, for some reason, though it appears to be a voluntary thing. I also know that werewolves are made out of chiseled marble disguised as muscle when in human form. What I don't know is why these mythological creatures have any interest in the personality-free Bella, but maybe that was explained in the first movie.
The bonus of the premiere was a mini-show by UK trio Band of Skulls, who rocked out in a too-bright room surrounded by high-heeled women sipping red wine. Odd.
They played five songs but I only recorded I Know What I Am and Patterns before my arm got tired. I am nothing if not professional.

So I'm off to the Toronto premiere of Twilight: New Moon tonight, which I admit is a little odd. I figure I will be both the oldest person in the audience and the only one who hasn't seen the previous film or read any of the books. But because I am nothing but intrepid I did some research and if it is anything like the above trailer it should be a good time. I will report back about all the squealing.

Contest — The Twilight Saga: New Moon
Time for Popped Culture's first ever contest! On Thursday, Nov. 19, American Express is hosting a gala of The Twilight Saga: New Moon at Toronto’s Winter Garden Theatre. The screening takes place at 7 p.m., the day before the movie premiers, and will feature appearances by cast members. Coincidentally, I am giving away A PAIR OF TICKETS.The winner gets to see the movie, sit in on a cast Q&A and attend an after-party where Band of Skulls (who are on the soundtrack) will perform.
To win: Go to americanexpress.ca/potential/newmoon and the first person to email me the invitation phrase wins the tickets. Oh yes, you have to be 18 or be accompanied by an adult to attend. I'm also not flying anyone in so, you know, keep that in mind. No prize substitutions either.
Full disclosure, I get to go too. Don't worry, you don't have to sit with me or anything. Even further disclosure, I haven't seen the first Twilight film nor read any of the books, but who am I to avoid a pop culture phenomenon? My previous interests in vampires have been, in order, The Count on Sesame Street, Count Chocula, Lestat, Angel. So there you go.

At least we'll go out in a stunning fashion. Speaking of which, Threadless is selling their Halloween t-shirts (like the one above by Travis Pitts) for a mere $10, but only until tomorrow at 10 am CT, so you'll have to hurry. Gotta look your best for the UFO, zombie, vampire, dinosaur apocalypse.Previously on Popped Culture...

Update: We've Got Some Work To Do Now is now for sale. Sweet!Designer Travis Pitts updates the Scoobies for the vampire-slaying, zombie-killing generation. Sadly, it appears Shaggy, Fred and Daphne didn't make it, judging from the RIP on the door of the renamed Misery Machine.
You can see more at Pitt's Flickr page and hopefully find it for sale at Threadless. (Link via Super Punch)

Stick a stake in Twilight, it's done. Pop culture hacker Jonathan McIntosh's mashup of Twilight and Buffy the Vampire Slayer takes down the latest vampire craze.
Sez the artist: "It’s an example of transformative storytelling serving as a visual critique of Edward’s character and generally creepy behavior. Seen through Buffy’s eyes some of the more patriarchal gender roles and sexist Hollywood tropes embedded in the Twilight saga are exposed."
He means it's funny, folks. (Link via Buzzfeed)

Cereal Killer, Qu'est-ce Que C'est?
"The cereal-slinging life is enough to drive almost any decent cereal mascot to a life of murder. While the police have no proof that Sonny or Cap'n Crunch are responsible for the deaths of anyone, many children go missing each year. We think it's time someone took a good, long look into these borderline psychotics who might be part of a nutritious breakfast... but also part remorseless killer."For more breakfast carnage, read Topless Robot's countdown of the 10 Cereal Mascots that Are Probably Also Serial Killers. My bet is on Tony the Tiger. There is no way somebody can be that relentlessly positive without eventually snapping.
The image of Buffy The Vampire Slayer dusting the Count is from pop artist Chris Tezber, entitled The Tragic Death of Count Chocula. (Link via Idiot Box Artwork)
