Later this year, Alan Robert is teaming up with top toy manufacturer NECA, best known for their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Alien, and Predator figures, to release the very first Beauty Of Horror action figure. Based on series’ fan-favorite Ghouliana, the 5” articulated figure is featured wearing her signature bat-wing dress as part of NECA’s Toony Terrors line.

“To see Ghouliana smiling her piranha-like grin alongside gruesome greats like The Nun, Scream’s Ghost Face, and Michael Myers is a huge honor for me,” explains creator Alan Robert. “I feel like my little undead girl is all grown up!”

“Bringing Ghouliana to life in toy form with her very first action figure has been a terrifying treat,” says NECA VP and Creative Director Randy Falk. “Collaborating with Alan to translate his artwork into sculpted form has unearthed a plethora of possibilities for Ghouliana’s future. The imagery just lends itself so well to figures, dolls, masks, costumes and more.”

The Sound of Scars
Directed by Leigh Brooks

The story of three lifelong friends who overcame domestic violence, substance abuse and depression to form Life of Agony, one of the most influential bands in its genre, led by the very first openly transgender singer. Through the success of their groundbreaking 1993 debut "River Runs Red", hailed by Rolling Stone as “One of the Greatest Metal Albums of All Time”, they channeled their cumulative life stories into a soundtrack for a broken generation. This newfound fame allowed them to suppress the tragedies of their pasts, but in the wake of their accomplishments, unforeseen obstacles arose.

REVOLVER EXCLUSIVE: The Beauty of Horror 5 COMING THIS SEPT.!

Best known in heavy-music circles as the bassist of NYHC-turned-alt-metal veterans Life of Agony, Alan Robert has also been making a name for himself as the creator and illustrator of The Beauty of Horror coloring book series. When he hasn't been recommending headbanging Halloween costume ideas for Revolver, he's been working on the latest installment in the franchise, The Beauty of Horror 5: Haunt of Fame, which draws, in part, on his love of rock & roll. "It's like a twisted wax museum filled with all of my favorite pop culture stars," Robert commented. "Similar to how [recurring character] Ghouliana took on horror icons in the last book, this time she tackles rock royalty, sports heroes, and famous faces from TV and film."
