And no, I don’t have any idea why a video for the biggest pretty-boy vampire flick of the 80’s consists entirely of a bunch of dancers traveling in a post-apocalyptic cattle truck. I like to imagine it’s supposed to be 25 years later, the vampires have taken over the world and these are some of […]
Read more "Monster, Monster – Lost in the Shadows"How about a little Mad Monster Party? Boris says you’ll like it! Introduction to the Monster, Monster series here.
Read more "Monster, Monster – Saturday Morning Cartoon Edition"Talk about the art of constant reinvention. We’ve seen Alice in the 70s and 80s, here’s a taste of what he was up to during the 1990s. Not the best monster video, but the song has become such a Halloween staple (though generally in bowdlerized versions) that I really couldn’t justify leaving it off the […]
Read more "Monster, Monster – Feed My Frankenstein"A little something for Throwback Thursday. Forgive the terrible picture quality, as far as I can tell this was taken from a live broadcast and only exists on a poor quality kinescope, but there don’t seem to be a lot of contemporary recordings of Sheb Wooley actually performing this and this one was to much […]
Read more "Monster, Monster – Purple People Eater"Ok, I am going to lose all my Richmond and VCU cred, but, um, I’ve always pretty much thought GWAR’s music sucked. I get the joke, I admire the testicular fortitude and creativity, and it’s a hell of a show. I just hate the songs. Sorry. Oh, and their GWAR Blood red ale sucks too. […]
Read more "Monster, Monster – Zombies, March!"Once again we see eveidence that Freddy Krueger’s greatest weakness wasn’t teenaged girls but cheesy hair metal. Vinnie Vincent’s enormous ego meant that we wouldn’t see a lot from this lineup, but hey, it did lead to Mark and Dana launching Slaughter a few years later, so I can’t complain too much. Then again if […]
Read more "Monster, Monster – Love Kills"Today we learn that half a set of obstetrical forceps is an ineffective weapon when wielded against a half-troll, half-demon from Lapland. So is this the morgue of the hospital from Dark Floors? Because that would actually make a lot of sense. More than the end of that movie did, anyway. Introduction to the Monster, […]
Read more "Monster, Monster – Would You Love a Monsterman?"Probably not the Hell’s Bells you are thinking of. Introduction to the Monster, Monster series here.
Read more "Monster, Monster – Saturday Morning Cartoon Edition"And our annual pilgrimage to Dallas comes round again. Wow, 10 years, that’s a lot of crap movies (over 130 according to the commemorative programs one of the usual gang of psychopaths very kindly produced for the occasion). I didn’t attend my first T-Fest until 2008, so I missed those first three glorious years, but […]
Read more "T-Fest 2015: Ten Years of Hokum"Gotta say it’s really hard to try to keep from featuring Alice more than once a week as his output over the decades has been prolific enough that you could feature him every day for a month without running out of material (Hmm, idea for Halloween 2016, 31 days of Alice Cooper. What do my […]
