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 – Be Chrool to Your Scuel

Saving the best stuff for near the end and this is one of my absolute favorites. Dee Snyder and Alice Cooper, plus a cameo by zombie makeup king and sometimes actor Tom Savini (who also did all the makeup effects for the video). In addition to Alice, other (off-screen) musical guests on the song included […]

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 – Pet Sematary

The Ramones take on Stephen King? Why, yes please, I’ll have a bit of that! Introduction to Monster, Monster series here.

Monster, Monster – Are You Ready for Freddy?

So it wasn’t just goofy hair bands getting into the act with the burn-scarred maintenance man. In the 80s, Freddy was everywhere and even hip-hop artists, The Fat Boys, got into the act. Introduction to the Monster, Monster series here.

Monster, Monster – Saturday Morning Cartoon Edition

Today’s feature isn’t just suitably creepy, it’s also historically significant for being the very first Silly Symphony. Introduction to the Monster, Monster series here.

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 – Unholy

So shortly before they threw the makeup back on and went back to mostly just stagnantly doing the same old stuff that made them famous in the 70s, KISS dropped the Revenge album. By far the heaviest (and in my opinion, musically best) stuff they ever turned out (yeah, yeah, Destroyer, whatever, this is my […]

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 […]
