Happy Halloween Minions!
It’s Halloween folks and you know what that means! It’s time to bring in La Cosa Nosferatu, the Dark one, Geo Brawn IV creator of the sexy horror comic series “The Untold Chronicles!”
Geo Brawn IV
If you are into Horror comics and Pin up Girls, then you gotta get your hands on Geo’s books. They are awesome! Film Director Guillermo Del Toro gave them the big thumbs up people!

The Mad Monster Party!
Original Movie Poster by Frank Frazetta.
One of my favorite animated features of all time! Mad Monster Party was made by Arthur Rankin, Jr. and Jules Bass, the same people that brought us the Christmas classics Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. This Rankin Bass’ 1967 stop motion animated feature is pure 1960′s Campy Horror Awesomeness! A killer cartoon featuring all of the classic movie monsters partying down at Dr. Baron Von Frankenstein’s pad in puppet form!
Promo One Sheet by Frank Frazetta! I Know!!!!!
I’m talking Dracula, The invisible man, The Mummy, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Dr. Jekyll and Hyde, The Wolf-man, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, King Kong, Frankenstein’s Creature, The Bride, and an assorted mess of friggin’ zombies and skeletons! It gets better! The hysterical screenplay was written by the great Harvey Kurtzman and the characters were designed by the legendary Mad Artist Jack Davis!
Jack Davis Character Designs!
OMG!
Did I mention Boris Karloff is the voice of the Dr. Baron Von Frankenstein and Phyllis Diller plays the Bride of the Creature?
If this doesn’t sound wacky enough, Boris Karloff sings in this movie! I shit you not!
Dr. Baron Von Frankenstein and the lovely Franchesca. What a hottie! I mean the girl.
Bruce Timm Sketch of Franchesca and Dracula. Awesome with Awesome sauce amigos! WOW!
SWEEEEET!
Franchesca…..The first love of many geeks.
That is one sexy stop motion puppet!
Another Franchesca by Bruce Timm which I believe he referenced from the frame above. Bruce Timm can do know wrong.
The Japanese studio that animated this film did a bang up job! They called the stop motion puppet animation technique they were pioneering “Animagic” Is that cool or what? I’m geeking out man!
This little gem paved the way for films like Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare before Christmas” and the “Corpse Bride!”
The film has recently been released on DVD and I highly recommend it!

The Making of…..
H.H. Holmes Fiend and Serial Killer from Victorian Times.
The last segment of the podcast Geo and I got to talking about REAL monsters as opposed to fictional ones. I recently found out about H.H. Holmes. America’s First serial killer. During the Great Chicago World’s Fair in 1893 this sick twisted psycho used his custom built Murder Castle to kill an alleged 200 people!
This guy made Jack the Ripper look like a Pussy.
“I was born with the devil in me, I couldn’t help the fact that I was a murderer, no more than a poet can help the inspiration to sing. And I was born with the Evil One standing as my sponsor beside the bed where I was ushered into the world. He has been with me ever since.”
H.H. Holmes
Happy Halloween!

 Man vs. Art Episode 58! Raging Raul!Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 58:52 — 54.1MB) | Embed In this episode I go off on an a couple of things that really make me mad. First, A certain talent network of creatives that gave me the runaround all summer. Second, People who want artists to work for free, or offer a “back-end deal”. Third, I really lay into some jackass Flash Developer that thinks treating artists like crap is the way to go. I don’t like seeing Artists being pushed around, or taken advantage of. It’s a Pet Peeve of mine. |

 Man vs. Art Episode 56! Intervention Con and webcomics with Onezumi Hartstein and James HarknellPodcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 1:01:34 — 56.5MB) | Embed On Today’s show I spend an hour talking to Webcomic Diva Onezumi Hartstein and her husband/producer James Harknell. We talk about highlights from Intervention 2010 and what’s in store for 2011. Enjoy the podcast! The goal of Intervention is to bring together different independent creators and fans to party, educate, and appreciate the opportunities the Internet gives to all of us. IT is similar to the Sci-Fi/Anime/Other fandom cons, but here the emphasis is on people who use the internet as the primary way to distribute their work and communicate with their friends. |
