LATEST REVIEW - Variety

All right, I'm impressed. Nerdoh is an online T-shirt company in the UK that appears to have a warehouse in the alternate universe that contains Jack Horner Movie Productions ("Boogie Nights"), the Titty Twister ("From Dusk Till Dawn"), Camp Crystal Lake ("Friday the 13th," of course -- does that one really need the little blood spatter?) and Umbrella Corp. ("Resident Evil"). They're good-looking logos and some are unnecessary (the motel from "The Devil's Rejects"? Really?), but what really gets me is the curators' (for that's what the owners are) obsessive nature. I didn't even remember that Eric Dravens had a band in "The Crow," much less that it was called "Hangmans Joke" or that they produced an album, "Last Laugh." (I missed the foreshadowing -- dammit!) Do you know where Indiana Jones taught archeology? (Barnett College, of course.) And if the one for Cross Roads Mall doesn't get you, the one for Andy's Gun Shop will -- it's the place across from the mall that proved so very valuable in "Dawn of the Dead."
