B-Fest 2016 – More Crap Happens

January 22nd 2016, Norris Auditorium, Northwestern University – Once again I took my favorite seat, (second row, second seat from the left) curled up under my fuzzy blankie (to hide my personal Facebook updating during the event), and settled in for 24 more hours of the best of the worst. What I lacked in theme […]

Monster, Monster – Devil is a Loser

And here’s the most important thing to remember as we move into Halloween itself. The creepy stuff is fun, it’s great to have a thrill or two, but ultimately evil loses out. I know, I read ahead the the end of the Book. So on that note: HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Introduction to the Monster, Monster series […]

Monster, Monster – Thriller

Come on, you knew this had to be on here somewhere. The long version too. MJ may have been a sick puppy, but this short film by John Landis really was one of the first to bring home the full potential of the music video as complete short form film, with production values rivaling those […]

Monster, Monster – Monster Mash

Let’s start the work week off right with this little number by Bobby “Boris” Pickett. As often as it has been covered, I suspect there are a few folks out there who’ve never heard the original (this video was made about 20 years later, to go with the original recording). Introduction to the Monster, Monster […]

Monster, Monster – Under Bergets Rot

I have not clue one what the hell this is about. But cartoon troll band, yay! Introduction to Monster, Monster series here.

Monster, Monster – Saturday Morning Cartoon Edition

How about a little Mad Monster Party? Boris says you’ll like it! Introduction to the Monster, Monster series here.

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 […]

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 […]

Nerd Metal Fridays: Lordi

I’d planned to hold off on these guys for a while, but 1) it’s been a totally crap week and I need to write about something that really makes me happy and 2) the Eurovision finals are this weekend, so it only seems appropriate to go ahead and feature these guys, as that was the […]

Notes From the ‘Net: Parody Edition

Judging from the fact that I’ve received it from a couple of different sources already, I expect many of you have already seen this totally awesome video since it made it’s appearance a few days back: If not, give it a look, I’ll wait. Done? Excellent. This is so dead-on, that were it not for […]
