First Official ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ Makeup Line Open for Pre-Orders
Pre-orders for the first official Buffy the Vampire Slayer makeup line, “It’s About Time” by Vampyre Cosmetics, are now open. Buffy fans can either have it shipped to their home, or pick it up at HellmouthCon in June, where original cast members Juliet Landau and Julie Benz, who played the legendary vampires Drusilla and Darla, will be available to sign the VAMPYR Book Palette.
HellmouthCon is the only Buffy convention to take place at the Sunnydale High School filming location. It will include photo ops, autographs, panels with Bloody FM podcasters Frank Bonnaci (Zoning Out), Christopher Feinstein (Haunted American History), and Shelby Novak (Scare You to Sleep), a guided tour of Buffy’s house, and more. A percentage of the con’s ticket sales will go to the Los Angeles LGBT Center and the Ron Glass Memorial Scholarship Fund.
Rachel Clinesmith, the founder of Vampyre Cosmetics says, “Buffy fans are intelligent, wonderful, open-minded, fun, creative people. We thought about them at every step of the process. This campaign has everything Buffy fans love – I know ‘cause I am one. It’s also an exciting, fresh evolution. It’s a continuation and an exploration. Every generation has one Slayer. But hopefully all generations will love this specially tailored makeup line!”
Buffy fans can choose either the 45 shade VAMPYR Book Palette by itself, or the entire collection, which includes:
- a two sided removable magnetic print from an exclusive photoshoot with Julie Benz & Juliet Landau
- the VAMPYR Book Palette
- 3 crossheart liquid lipstick shades
- a velvet mirror compact
- a waterproof gel eyeliner in an ink pot

Paul Rudd, Carrie Coon, Mckenna Grace, Finn Wolfhard, Kumail Nanjiani, Patton Oswalt, Celeste O’Connor, Logan Kim, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, and Annie Potts star. Kenan co-wrote the script with Afterlife’s Jason Reitman.

The Fall of the House of Usher Vinyl Soundtrack from Waxwork Records
The Fall of the House of Usher’s soundtrack is available on vinyl for $38 from Waxwork Records. The score is composed by frequent Mike Flanagan collaborators the Newton Brothers (The Haunting of Hill House, Doctor Sleep).
Shipping on June 21, the 2xLP album is pressed on 150-gram seafoam green colored vinyl. It’s housed in a gatefold jacket featuring matte satin coating designed by Matt Needle with a 12×12 insert and liner notes by the Newtons.
Witchcraft for Wayward Girls by Grady Hendrix
My Best Friend’s Exorcism and The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires author Grady Hendrix will publish Witchcraft for Wayward Girls on January 14 via Berkley.
Described as “Rosemary’s Baby set in a home for unwed mothers in 1970,” the 432-page horror novel follows a group of young women who discover a guide to witchcraft.
If you don’t want to drop $25 on Mattel’s Street Sharks 30th anniversary figures, Funko is providing an affordable alternative with a Streex Pop. Due out in July, the vinyl figure costs $11.99.
Streex may not have been the group’s leader (that’s Ripster), but his roller blades and vibrant color scheme made him a fan favorite for ’90s kids. While Funko has become passé, the sculpt on this one pushes it beyond the normal Pop style.
Arcadian Blu-ray from RLJE Films
Arcadian will survive on Blu-ray on July 23 via RLJE Films. Nicolas Cage stars in the post-apocalyptic action-horror film.
Meagan Navarro’s review said, “Arcadian may not fully work as a whole, at least where the drama is concerned, but it more than succeeds as a thrilling monster movie with one of the coolest new movie monsters in recent memory.”
Jaeden Martell, Maxwell Jenkins, and Sadie Soverall co-star. Benjamin Brewer (The Trust) directs from a script by Mike Nilon (Braven).
Special features include: cast & crew interviews and visual effects behind the scenes.
Direct 2 Video by Jeff Whitmire
Bonus item this week! Jeff Whitmire, whose horror-comedy parody songs have earned him the nickname The Weird Al of Horror, has launched an Indiegogo campaign for his sophomore album, Direct 2 Video.
The 31-track double album will feature songs inspired by Halloween, Child’s Play, The Blair Witch Project, Terrifer 2, and more.
Perks include a digital copy for $10 and a CD for $25, among others.
