Monster, Monster – Feed My Frankenstein

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 […]

Monster, Monster – Purple People Eater

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 […]

Monster, Monster – Zombies, March!

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. […]

Monster, Monster – Love Kills

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 […]

Monster, Monster – Would You Love a Monsterman?

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, […]

Monster, Monster – Saturday Morning Cartoon Edition

Probably not the Hell’s Bells you are thinking of. Introduction to the Monster, Monster series here.

T-Fest 2015: Ten Years of Hokum

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 […]

Monster, Monster – He’s Back (The Man Behind the Mask)

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 […]

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.
