The story goes that, back in the early 80’s, Vincent Furnier (better known as Alice Cooper) was approached by some foreign filmmakers about starring in a horror movie. Cooper was hesitant about the idea, until the filmmakers assured him that the film would only be seen in the Philippines. As it turns out, this was …

A Mythos Carol

Lovecraft Historical Society last year, I thought it would be fun to do it again this year. This year’s selection is a fan-made music video made by GodfreyTemple,: which was apparently approved by the HPLHS: For more …

A Halloween Scarol
Remember Big Scream TV: The Boo Tube? Well, the company behind that series does other lines of video decor DVDs. One such example is Halloween Scarols, which combines Big Scream TV-style characters with Halloween-themed Christmas carol parodies. In fact, the songs were later released as a CD as well! As I’ve shared music videos from …

Move Your Dead Bones
Back in 2003, the people behind Beyond Re-Animator came up with a brilliant idea. In order to further publicize the latest installment of the 80’s Re-Animator franchise, a music video was prepared featuring an artist specially named to tie into the series: Dr. Reanimator. Not only would it further pad out the extra features on …
