Video - The History of the Monster Cereals: Count Chocula, Franken Berry, Boo Berry

This video is a good explainer for those curious about how the Monster Kid craze of the 1960's gave birth to the General Mills Monster cereals and the color changing controversies that made bathroom trips concerning! If only Yummy Mummy was available every year at Halloween time. 

BLACK DRAGONS (1942) Poster Art and Lobby Cards

Without a doubt this is one of the most incoherent movies I have ever watched more than ten times. And I'll watch it again, I promise!

Comic - GRAY LADY

Currently sitting on your local comic book shop's shelves is this one-shot horror comic that deserves more attention. It plays like a stand alone movie that just needs to be financed and shot.

 

A car accident leaves part of a small family dead and a dangerous supernatural force in pursuit of the remainder. Enter a woman that can talk to the dead and you have a tight little thriller.

 

If Hollywood is searching for new horror tales this one could be the perfect winter-set chiller.

Poster art for THE FABULOUS WORLD OF JULES VERNE (1961)

 

If you've never seen this fantastic film you really should seek it out! Made by Czech animator-turned-director Karel Zeman as a loving tribute to the novels of Jules Verne with the title of Invention for Destruction, it was released in 1958. In 1961 the film was belatedly released in the United States under this more famous title and by that time it had won numerous awards around the world. It is incredibly entertaining and unlike nearly anything you've ever seen before. 

KNIVES OF THE AVENGER (1966) Poster Art

This film just seems to get better every time I come back to it. Surely one of Mario Bava's most underrated.
