Monster, Monster – Psycho Circus

You know, far a band who’s bassist’s schtick was heavily influenced by old horror films and specifically by Lon Chaney Sr., KISS had very little horror-themed stuff in the catalog. There’s a better example that we’ll get to eventually, but this 1998 effort off the first (only) album recorded during the brief return of original […]

Monster, Monster – Somebody’s Watching Me

OK, so the most terrifying monster in this is probably Michael Jackson on the choruses (what, too soon?) but this surreal ode to paranoia (and nepotism, Rockwell was actually Barry Gordy Jr.’s son) has always had a special place in my heart. Introduction to the Monster, Monster series here.

Monster, Monster – Army of the Night

OK, I will admit that these guys are new to me. One of my friends just recently introduced me to Powerwolf and I’m not sure how I’ve missed them for so long. I think they rate their own Nerd Metal Fridays post, what do y’all think? These guys are great excuse to go back to […]

Monster, Monster – Bark at the Moon

It’s really hard to go wrong with Ozzy’s very first music video where he channels not only The Wolfman, but Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde as well. The very 1980s-via-Hammer-Horror Victorian setting is a fun touch too. Introduction to the Monster, Monster series here.

Monster, Monster – Dream Warriors

Destroying Freddy with the power of Hair! At least, unlike most movie tie-ins, they made an effort to actually incorporate the band into the story, instead of the usual alternating of concert video and movie clips that was more usual. Do you think Patricia Arquette still cops to being in this? Introduction to the Monster, […]

Monster, Monster – Saturday Morning Cartoon Edition

How about a little Groovie Ghoulies to go with your morning bowl of Sugar-Frosted Chocolate Bombs. Introduction to the Monster, Monster series here.

Monster, Monster – Hard Rock Hallelujah

As I may have mentioned before, this video is what got me firmly and permanently hooked on Lordi (c’mon, zombie cheerleaders, what’s not to love!). An obsession that I am totally unashamed to have instilled in the nerdlings as well. The fact that this is the song with which they won Eurovision makes it even […]

Monster, Monster – The Black Widow

Where better to start our Halloween monster fest than with two legends of horror, Vincent Price meets Vincent Furnier Alice Cooper. This predates Price’s vocal appearance in Thriller by the better part of a decade and we got the bonus of actually watching him torment poor “Steven” during the TV special this was drawn from. […]

Yvonne Craig – RIP

All I can say is that there were not enough kick-ass action girls to look up to during my childhood and Yvonne Craig’s Batgirl was right up there with Lynda Carter and Pam Grier in my personal pantheon. I’ve had so much fun introducing the nerdlings to her adventures on MeTV these last few years. […]

Random Thoughts: What I’ve Been Watching

Just some thoughts on a couple of things I’ve seen in recent weeks that don’t rate their own full posts. Possibly mildly spoileriffic, but everything is at least a week past broadcast now. Between went a long way towards showing that not all Netflix original programming is going to be a modern classic. Man, every […]
