The lucky streak continues for The Ghostest with the Mostest. Get lost in the netherworld and escape man-eating sandworms with this Beetlejuice plush from Mezco Toyz. Also in this round-up: a new trailer for Luciano and Nicolás Onetti's Francesca and details on Funko's new BioShock Dorbz figures.
Beetlejuice Plush Figure: From Mezco Toyz: "From Tim Burton's Oscar-winning film Beetlejuice, the afterlife's leading bio-exorcist is back and he's bringing the creepy and the crazy!
Beetlejuice stands 8" tall and features his black and white striped suit and tangled mass of mossy green hair. His sardonic grimace reveals his trademark yellowed teeth. We've captured every detail of the rambunctious spookiness and transformed him into the cuddliest ghoul in purgatory.
Expected to Ship: Sep – Oct 2016 - $16.00."

Tamika hails from North Beach, Maryland, a tiny town inches from the Chesapeake Bay.She knew she wanted to be an actor after reciting a soliloquy by Sojourner Truth in front of her entire fifth grade class. Since then, she's appeared in over 20 film and television projects. In addition to acting, Tamika is the Indie Spotlight manager for Daily Dead, where she brings readers news on independent horror projects every weekend.
The first horror film Tamika watched was Child's Play. Being eight years old at the time, she remembers being so scared when Chucky came to life that she projectile vomited. It's tough for her to choose only one movie as her favorite horror film, so she picked two: Nosferatu and The Stepford Wives (1975).
