Cabin in the Woods: Inspired by Horror

A staple of many horror movies is the ominous cabin in the woods, where kids are stalked by demons, zombies, and serial killers.  There’s even an upcoming horror movie by Joss Whedon that’s named for the trope.   It’s a visually beautiful setting for horror, with trees and woodland creatures you can enjoy while you shake off the feeling that you’re being watched from the underbrush.  Combined with the ensuing bloodstains, a horror flick with a cabin in the woods is set to terrify and inspire!

Models, INC. from Marvel

Yesterday at the bookstore I picked up a copy of Models Inc., the Marvel comic about models trying to solve the murder of a set designer. The models are Marvel characters both famous (Mary Jane Watson of Spiderman) and lesser known (Chili Storm from Fantastic Four). The first issue also features Tim Gunn from Project Runway, and was distributed during New York Fashion Week this past September.

Work from Terrible Yellow Eyes

Where the Wild Things Are is the focus of Terrible Yellow Eyes, a blog by Cory Godbey that compiles artwork inspired by the book.  I’ve been following it for a while now, and I adore all the artwork on the site.  Every image brings a new and gorgeous scene to the story, and makes my day a bit happier. They recently had a show at Nucleus Gallery, and you should definitely check out all the wonderously wild pieces on the Terrible Yellow Eyes blog site!

Inspired by Where the Wild Things Are

I remember reading Where the Wild Things Are as a child, but I only began to appreciate the artwork and story as an adult.  With the release of the movie, it’s a great excuse to explore childhood again with stylish goods fit for a king!  Let the wild rumpus commence after the break:

Where the Wild Things Are collections

Where the Wild Things Are has been inspiring readers for generations, and the recent movie has spurred the creation of two great collections at Urban Outfitters and Opening Ceremony.  The Urban Outfitters collection has more of a cute, childlike feel, with whimsical patters on the Allover Woods Crew T-Shirt, and scribbles on the Wild Grass Pillow.  Where the Wild Things Are Dolls are adorable, and go well with the graphic canvas prints.

Opening Ceremony’s Where the Wild Things Are X collection is more refined and expensive, with lots of furry ensembles and quirky details.  My favorites include the gorgeously fuzzy Carol Flare Coat and the cute typography on the seen/done/loved T-shirt.  The Carol Headband is necessary for when you need to blend in with monsters, and the Ira Claw bracelet is perfect for when your wrist needs a hug.
