Designer Brandon Schoolhouse's company Han Cholo has collaborated with Universal Studios to create a line of jewelry dedicated to the Universal Monsters. The first wave of creatures in the jewelry line have been unleashed, featuring none other than Frankenstein's monster and his bride.
From Han Cholo: "We are working with Universal Studios making the Universal Monster Jewelry this year. The first rollout of the Universal Monster Series Dropped Wednesday, February 1st and we chose to Start with Frankenstein and the bride for the Valentines day season, and we’re calling it the “Monster Lovers” Collection.
There are 7 pieces on the website right now for the Collection, but throughout the year we will be working on even more. This year we are going to be at Monsterpalooza with our friends at Sideshow Collectibles Selling our Court of the Dead series as well as our Universal Monster “Monster Lovers” Collection, and for the weekend we will be having some Monsterpalooza Exclusives for the Universal Monster Series, we’re still not sure what, but it will be awesome.
Here is the what the Designer Brandon Schoolhouse said about getting the line, and his inspiration behind the line:
'Growing up as a kid watching all the Universal Monster Classics and going to the studios and seeing Frankenstein and the Phantom walking around scared the shit out me, but always captured my imagination. Growing up in Hollywood, I would go to Forrest Akerman’s Mansion and hang out with him and listen to his stories of the Old Hollywood Movies and get lost in all his Monster memorabilia. He would always wear the actual Rings from Dracula and the Mummy Rings which inspired me to start doing jewelry. Han Cholo was brought to life by Monsters and Science-Fiction. This collection is my Dream to create. I just want to make Jewelry for Monster Fans like me that get it.'"

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).
