"Welcome to Eltingville"

This is the forgotten pilot that comes to mind when describing my high school years.

It was adapted from Dark Horses Instant Piano funny books, which became an Eisner award winning story. The pilot was titled "Bring me the head of Boba Fett" and was aired in 2002 on Cartoon Networks new, up and coming adult programming block [Adult Swim].

Enjoy.

It's August and Halloween is quickly on our heels. But Comic-Con International is now! Legendary Pictures announces more monsters, Ash is back to fight more deadites, Scream Factory has a slew of new releases; the list just goes on and on.

I also take a look at Scream Facory's re-release of Motel Hell and make sure to listen carefully to see how you can win a creepy item signed by William Shatner himself!

Monsters of the Gridiron

I really enjoy collecting things from my childhood that I feel were really crucial to the development of who I am today.

As a child growing up in Orlando in the early 90's was a fun and fascinating time. Especially for the kids who were into MONSTERS! Universal Orlando started up their annual Halloween event; Halloween Horror Nights (Fright Nights circa 1991.) My parents dragged me to the very first event when I was six and I was terrified! But I fell in love all at the same time. I remember coming back home and playing "Fright Nights" with the neighbor kids next door.

Around this time Universal was teaming up with other other brands to promote their event. One of them happened to be Coke, and Coca-Cola was the head sponsor of the NFL at that time. In October of 1993 they released a series of football cards called 'Monsters of the Gridiron.' This was a series of football cards that showed off players more "monstrous" sides. Players decked out like The Wolfman, a giant serpent, a specter, etc.

They were pretty cheesy, but if you know me, they were right up my ally! I remember only owning about 7 or 8 cards and a few were doubles but I remember Halloween of '93 as if it was yesterday. Trading monster cards next door with my friends and watching ads for Fright Nights. Also FOX just started up their station and were hamming it up for Halloween with a ton of this commercials. So the ads ran almost every night.

Well a friend of mine brought Monsters of the Gridiron up the other day and nostalgia hit me like a linebacker with bolts in his neck! I had to see if the cards were on Ebay.
I'm proud to say I just won the whole set for a whopping four dollars!

This was all a great trip down memory lane and I am happy to share some of the (outrageously cheesy) marketing campaign ads they ran for Monsters of the Gridiron right here. Enjoy!

A penny for your thoughts?

The first episode of Penny Dreadful is free to watch right now!
I feel like I've been waiting for a series like this for a while. A mixture of classic horror icons mixed in with twisted effects and story telling. It's also beautifully shot with an A-list cast. I definitely cannot wait to see more!

A Night in the Woods (review)

I review films all the time for Bloody Disgusting's News from the Crypt. So many I sometimes forget what the hell I've seen. (radio, what a business!) I'm here on my blog ready to rectify that!
Here is one of just the many new releases hitting store shelves and probably your Netflix instant queue soon.

Shaky cam haters STAY AWAY! This picture makes The Blair Witch Project look like it was filmed by the most steady of hands.

A Night in the Woods is a story about three not so close friends going on a hiking trip. Sexual tensions and strained relationships come to a head. Paranoia reaches its peak all while much darker forces start rearing their eerie yet, plot hole'ish heads.  

If you want to watch a couples relationship go down the tubes for 82 minutes, be my guest. The only thing scary about this movie was the fact that the main character had to film everything. I mean everything! I get the film has to tell the story through this plot device. But it is so forced down your throat that by the end of this movie, you would not be surprised if the lead pulled a camera right out his unmentionable.

Reading "From the makers of Bronson & Monsters" had me a bit excited because I loved Monsters! But when I took a closer look using my friend the internet...I found that the two guys who helped produce Monsters helped produce this with the star from Monsters. So the tag should really read "From the guys who gave Gareth Edwards money to make Monsters."

In the end Monsters is not completely awful. In fact the locations the crew shot at looked beautiful! The cameras they used really made this movie look wonderful on bluray! At times these gorgeous shots just dragged though. Probably so we could escape the constant nagging and whining from our three stars.

Viewer beware, for this movie may leave you cursing during the films final stretch.

I'm giving "A Night in the Woods" 1 skull out of 5. AWFUL. I'll stick with the Cabin in the Woods thank you very much.

"Dr. Jekyll? That's odd. He told me his name was Mr. Hyde"

Just finished another monstrous painting. I worked on this piece after my late nights at Universal getting Halloween Horror Nights 23 ready for the public. After watching the Rankin Bass classic 'Mad Monster Party' one night, I was bit by the Jekyll and Mr. Hyde bug and started marathoning all the crazed characters film appearances. This concept was taken right from the "Monster Party" itself.

                                     Did I mention it also glows in the dark?
