The fine freaks at Mezco rolled out their ghoulish line of horror-themed collectibles this week at the 2009 American International Toy Fair in New York City. The company's talented in-house artists and sculptors have crafted some particularly sweet additions to their Cinema of Fear line, including a highly detailed 7-inch version of the latest Jason Voorhees from the new Friday the 13th reimagining (including the requisite axe, machete and pickaxe) and an even more detailed 12-inch Jason figure with a cloth coat and an alternate cloth-swathed head (sans mask).

Jason also gets the caricature treatment with the Cinema of Fear Tiny Terrors line. Here the Crystal Lake killer comes with his hockey mask and machete. But the standout piece of the line is the fantastically creepy 9-inch version of Freddy Krueger celebrating A Nightmare on Elm Street's 25th anniversary. Just try sleeping in the same room with that face glaring at you!

Lastly, fans of the Living Dead Dolls can look forward to Series 17 this year, which celebrates every nightmare-inducing urban legend that kept you from sleeping soundly as a kid. The line includes The Unwilling Donor (think bathtub full of ice and a missing kidney), Bloody Mary, The Hook, Spider Bite and The Vanishing Hitchhiker.
