Howl of the Nightmare!

Still on Blogger Vacation™ for a least another week or two-- trying to wrap up our MUSIC VIDEO, our NEW RECORDING, and get prepped for our second gig with KID CONGO POWERS! All very exciting things, and all things which, combined with the screenplay, are keeping my free time completely OVERBOOKED.

For now, please enjoy this awesome monster we made this summer. My daughter wrote it AND stars in it--I like to think she has a real future as a multi-media personality ahead of her (maybe as a late night horror host?)... Ladies and germs, I'm proud to present HOWL OF THE NIGHTMARE!!!!

Return of Wolf Girl

As if last year's HAUNTED HOUSE FULL OF DEAD COPS wasn't proof enough, I think these pictures provide clear evidence that this child carries my DNA.

Science MADNESS!

Here's an old chestnut I happened across by sheer accident:

old halloween


That's me in the back row-- it's hard to tell from the quality of this scan, but my costume that year was an effective hybrid of FREDDY KREUGER, HERBERT WEST, and JASON VORHEES-- I remember that I discovered the movie REANIMATOR that summer and immediately sculpted the face of Jeffrey Combs into my mental totem pole of horror icons. The bloody lab coat in this picture survived nearly a decade's worth of "mad science" themed Halloween costumes-- I kept it all the way into college, where it was eventually set on fire.

I just realized that I've lost count of how many mad science costumes I've worn through the years-- not just on Halloween, mind you, but for ANY occasion when a crusty lab coat and a set of glowing test tubes might come in handy... This is starting to feel like a photo gallery in the making. Stay tuned to this page for any further developments.

On a related note: my Freddy glove in this picture is totally homemade. Unable to afford one of the fancy plastic ones from the toy store, I cut razor shapes from a cardboard cereal box, spray painted them silver, and glued them to an old brown gardening glove. THAT'S dedication to form, my friends. When it comes to deviant lifestyles, I was definitely born into this one.

Never, EVER Feed Them After Midnight!

EXCITEMENT!

I was just turned on to THIS SITE which hosts dowloadable versions of all those READ-ALONG ADVENTURES records... including every installment of the 5-part GREMLINS adaptation!

As a kid, I remmeber pestering my folks to take me to Hardee's every week until the newest record came out. I must have collected four or five of each one... I have no idea what happened to any of them. Like most of my childhood coolness, they drifted away over the passing years.

Luckily, I'm now able to relive those sweet, sweet memories from the comfort of my own computer desktop. Ain't science something?

My love of all things Gremlin-related was somehow genetically transferred to my daughter, who along with a healthy obsession with the macabre has also developed into quite an artist. Observe:

Beware of Monsters!

The plan: Buy ten dollars worth of goodies at the Social Service League thrift store and turn our purchases into art.

The event: The Percolator Gallery dime-bag show, August 1st, 2009.

The result: My daughter is a mad genius in training. Witness the fruit of our endeavors...

Beware!
Snake, steeple, victim
Rat pit, skeleton
Skulls, smiling and otherwise
Trap door, gator pit, victim
Beds, monster plant
Keep out!
Don't go in the house!
Zoe paints, Curvacia strums
The Future of Art
The end of a really great month!
