The 3D Invisibles and old Detroit handbills

Growing up young, dumb, and punk in Detroit wasn't always a picnic, but there was an upside, the music. For me, in the early to mid 80's Hamtramck, a mostly Polish neighborhood of Detroit, was the place to be. Especially when the 3D Invisibles played. A Garage trio which exalted B movie horror aesthetics. Led by video store clerk Creepy Rick. A cross between Lux Interior and Buddy Holly. Check out OldHandbills.com to see the remnants of those days.

Halloweeeeeeeen (Part 1-16)

Reverend Frost's Halloweeeeeeeen mixes are always a pleasure if you are into horror and rock and roll. Who aren't????
HERE you can find the latest volume (and also links to all the good ol'e ones).

Tip-off from monstercrazy

secrets of the monsters ...

Meanwhile, back at the PCL Lodge ...

This was in my "youtube recommends" ... hmm - probably because it's a Ron Ormond classic. Note: the monster is none other than Sleepy LaBeef.

Monster Crazy

Halloween's a comin' - you getting MONSTER CRAZY yet?
The concept is simple. Images of creatures grotesque or cuddly from a vast spectrum of sources and an infinite variety of styles, simply laid out for maximum appreciation.
I've even got my 3 year old hooked on it.
I'm all over this 365 a year but it's a fine month to cycle back through previous submissions.
Enjoy!

Transylvania 4-5789

Continuing with my monster-music kick, you can dig up a coffin full of terrifying tunage, courtesy of the Sinister Dr. Sparber, who is now channeling the spirit of the Essential Ghoul's Record Shelf over at his latest 'blog, 50,000,000 Sparber Fans Can't Be Wrong.

The Ghoul's latest entry features vintage television horror-host, Zacherle, the Cool Ghoul, crooning his big hit, Dinner With Drac. Mmmm, batwing confetti and the veins of a mummy named Betty. Now them's good eatin'!

Everybody Do the Zombie Stomp!

No, not the Ozzy Osbourne version, the one by the Del-Aires as performed in the 1964 drive-in classic, Horror of Party Beach. You know, the movie with the undead atomic monster who has a mouth full of hot dogs.

Everybody do the Zombie Stomp
Just slam your foot down with an awful bomp
It's the livin' end!

Monster Museum

Flickr user Zombophoto's delightfully obsessive Monster Museum takes up the third bedroom of his house (and not his parents basement as one might imagine). He admits they are not the greatest photos, but I give him a free pass because he seems to be channeling his energies into creating those perfectly synchronized chorus lines of Frankenstein monsters and Creatures from the Black Lagoon.

Brown Bag Frankenstein

This 1975 book by writer, director and make-up effects artist, Alan Ormsby, shows you how to make an excellent Frankenstein monster head out of a brown-paper bag. Jumbo page scans courtesy of Johnny Dollar.
