Creepy Vs. Vampirella in a duel to the death!

Okay that title doesn't really make any sense, but I was kinda stumped coming up with something clever so it will have to do. Thanks to a couple of my loyal visitors I've gotten scans of some of the missing Creepy and Vampirella issues I didn't have before. Thanks guys! Starting with Creepy we have issue 32, 89 and 91. And moving on to Vampi we've got issue 11, 12 and 43. One of the Vampirellas is a PDF file but you should still be able to read it with no problems.

Creepy must've really enjoy the artwork from the cover of Vampirella 11 because they used the same artwork for the cover of issue 91. I wonder if Frank was paid twice...

Jimmy Lifton - Mirror Mirror

Mirror Mirror. The film stars Karen Black, Yvonne De Carlo, a strange little chick by the name of Rainbow Harvest and one f'ed up mirror. Thinking of this movie makes me long for the days of the gimmicky VHS covers of the 1980s and early 90s. I must've passed by the Mirror Mirror cover and it's little evil hologram mirror a thousand times as kid. And who can forget the copy of The Dead Pit with the light-up eyes? Sure the lights never worked after the first week because people pressed the hell out of them and usually caved the box in doing so, but still, it's a very cool concept.

Just a heads up for anyone interested in owning the film, the out of print Mirror Mirror 1-4 box set can usually be had new for about $5 plus shipping from Amazon Marketplace. Sure, the first film is pretty mediocre and I've heard nothing good regarding parts 2-4, but still, the first movie by itself goes for about $35 on the very same marketplace. Good deal if you need the whole set for some reason. I just purchased one myself.

CREEPY - The Mummy Returns to the Superbowl Gridiron!

Okay, finally getting these up on Wednesday again, albeit a bit later than usual. I'm sick for the second time in a month, so I spent most of my day laying on the floor, or the couch, or wherever I was able to get comfortable. Anway, feeling a bit better now, so here they are. This set of CREEPY includes #86, 87, 88, 90, 92, and 93. Sorry, I don't have 89 or 91.

Sharebee wasn't being very cooperative today, after I got the first part up on there it wouldn't let me upload anything else. So the first part is on Sharebee, and the others are on Rapidshare. Those of you without Rapidshare accounts, download part 4 first, it's only 6 MB, so the download wait should be less if you grab that one first.

EERIE - The New Age of Illustrated Epic Adventure

Okay, here's a new batch of EERIE, this set includes #114, 116, 117, 122, 128, 132 and 139. I meant to have this up on Wednesday but it turns out I had a lot more moving related crap to do around the house than I thought so I didn't get around to it. But here they are now, only several days late.

Like I mentioned before I'm very close to being out of EERIE issues to post, I've only got one more post worth left, that's why there are a lot of gaps in between issues. I'm still on the hunt for more though and they'll be here if I find them. Plenty more CREEPY though.

The links will say "EERIE 03 09", but don't mind that, I wasn't paying attention and I put 03 for March instead of 04 for April.

Simon Bowell - Deliria (Stagefright)

Okay, and we're back. I am now reporting to you from the new headquarters located in North Carolina. So far things are going smoothly, I've been here for 3 days and I already do a pretty remarkable impression of the Mayor. I'm not sure that will ever come in handy, but you never know. So, since I'm kind of set up I should be back to a more regular posting schedule.

So for my first post in my new state, here is Simon Boswell's music from the 1987 film Deliria (released by Anchor Bay under the title of Stagefright). The film was directed by the great Michele Soavi and George "Thirty Two" Eastman is credited as the writer. If you're wondering, yes, this is the movie with the guy killing people while wearing a big-ass Owl mask. That might sound like I'm mocking it, but I actually rather enjoy this one and find it to be a pretty excellent slasher film. Definitely check it out if you haven't already.

CREEPY - Monsters! Aliens! Demons! Zombie Dead! - Now With 16% More Esteban Maroto!

Okay, it's not technically Wednesday yet, but what the hell, it's a holiday, right? Here are 6 more issues of the creepiest magazine that ever crept CREEPY. This set includes #80, 81, 82, 83, 84, and 85. In that order.

Not only do these issues contain an array of Monsters, Aliens, Demons and Zombie Dead, (and some kind of weird naked skydiving unicorn man with no penis), I believe that's a special appearance by the Nilbogian goblin army seen in the hit film Troll 2 on the cover of number 83, if I'm not mistaken.

Just a heads up, number 80 might pop up an .nfo file when you open it, but the issue should be find once you close that down. Split over 3 files, you need all 3 to read the comics:

This could be the last post before my move I mentioned before. I'm not sure exactly which day I'm going, so there could be time for more post, but there might not be. But, either way, once I get set up down there I should be back in action pretty quickly.

Pity the Fool's

Just stopping in to say Happy April Fool's Day, if that's even a day you're supposed to say "happy" before. A day best spent not going to any sites on the internet due to the massive amount of fake news stories and other lame tricks played on people by their favorite sites. For example, one of my favorite torrent sites has intentionally made the screen a bunch of garish, horrible blinding colors - you can't even read anything on there. That's not funny. Because of this I'm starting a boycott on any kind of internet April Fool's jokes, so you guys will not have any fake "I'm shutting down the site" type things today. But I will have some comics up once I get home from work tonight, so be sure to check back soon. Maybe a slightly pre-Wednesday Warren Wednesday. Also, while I'm here I wanted to say sorry for missing last Wednesday, packing is a pretty terrible, time consuming chore.

Happy Easter - Be Excellent To Each Other

Just stopping by to wish everyone a Happy Easter. I don't really have anything to post, so enjoy my latest insomnia fueled piece of work. I don't know about you, but I've personally seen this ad around 400 times in my lifetime. Apparently this LaSalle Extension University used this one ad in various comics for like 20 years, same suspiciously happy guy and everything. So I thought a little Zombie action, plus some color on the lettering would liven it up a bit. I know, this seems like something that would show up on my Space Bastard site, but that site is on a bit of a moratorium until I figure out just what the hell I want to do with it.

Anyway, Happy Easter.

EERIE - Don't Pick Up These Magazines....

Okay, here is the latest set of EERIE. This set includes #100, 101, 102, 105, 106, 108, and 113. I have #110, but that was already posted in the very first EERIE post, so I didn't want to double up for those of you who already have that one. I've actually only got about 2 more posts worth of EERIE left in my collection, so this set and the next two will have a lot of missing issues. Sorry about that, but I'm on the lookout for any remaining issues that I haven't posted. I do have a good deal of CREEPY still left to post, so Warren Wednesdays will still around for a while.

Jaime Mendoza-Nava - Orgy of the Dead

Here's the soundtrack from the Ed Wood scripted, Stephen C. Apostolof directed film Orgy of the Dead. I don't know if I'd personally even call this a film, it's really just a series of strip teases in a graveyard, while Criswell, his hot vampire accomplice, a werewolf and a mummy force a couple to watch. Despite the fact that there are like a dozen strippers in the movie, there is no orgy to speak of, and really, apart from the mummy - who is technically alive - there's no real "the dead" to speak of either.

1. i am criswell
2. let's turn back
3. the ghouls feast in all their radiance
4. she died in flames
5. one who prowls the lonely streets at night
6. some kind of college initiation
7. one who worships gold above all else
8. the night things are all about me
9. to love the cat, is to be the cat
10. a pussycat is born to be whipped
11. whatever you do, don't do that
12. she danced to their destruction
13. this one cast herself into the volcano's fire
14. now i will talk to the wolfman & the mummy
15. no one wishes to see a man dance
16. she lived as a zombie in life
17. this one would have died for feather's, furs & fluff
18. our fitting climax
19. there's nothing to forgive - it was all a dream

CREEPY - Monsters! Ghouls! Curses! Aliens! The Undead!

Six more issues of Creepy for everyone. This set includes #74, 75, 76, 77, 78, and 79. I've gotta be brief today, I just finished watching Batman & Robin, I've gotta go lie down.

EERIE - All New Stories And Art!

Guest appearance by Chewie!

What the hell, I'm feeling generous so lets make today a Double Whammy Warren Wednesday. Here's a set of EERIE, it includes issues 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, and 98. If I'm not mistaken, I think those are the brothers from Mama Dracula on the cover of 93. Unfortunate looking couple of fellows... Moving over to issues 94 and 95, you're always in for a treat when Vampi, Rook and that nippular robot fellow team up to fight dinosaurs.

Sharebee is still being difficult, so more Rapidshare links here. Thanks to those of you who have already clicked the link to the text file in the last post, I salute you. You can't see it obviously, but I did it. Trust me.

CREEPY - Aliens and Robots and Space Ships! Oh My!

Well, time for more Creepy. This set includes issues 69, 70, 71, 72, and 73. As you can see, there are only 5 issues in this set. I like to keep it down to 300MB, and these issues were some big sons of bitches, so I could only get 5 up. Hope that's not a problem.

Be sure to grab this set if you're a Edgar Allan Poe fan, the first two issues feature a bunch of re"Creepy"ations (Eghad, that didn't work) of some of his stories. Anyone else finding the Rue Morgue cover on #70 a bit disturbing? And why is that woman smiling? I gotta say, that wouldn't be my first choice of reactions to being slashed to ribbons by a large razorblade wielding ape. God forbid I should one day encounter a ravenous primate.

Sharebee is not working for me today, so I had to use Rapidshare.

Speaking of Rapidshare, I wanted to ask people with Premium accounts if they wouldn't mind downloading this small file as a free user to help me try and reach 10,000 points. It's just a small text file that says nothing on it...I'm like this close to a free month.

He's not from around here.

The 1986 film The Wraith. Directed by Mike "Hamburger" Marvin and starring Carlos Sheen, and the evernude Sherilyn Fenn. There are also a couple supporting roles from some of America's favorite lesser siblings to look forward to; Clint Howard as Rughead and Randy Quaid as Sheriff Loomis.

The Wraith is another movie that probably would've done a little better if it had a better-known word in the title. Much like The Changeling, I don't think a lot of people know what the hell a Wraith is. It's a lesser known word and it doesn't really have an attention grabbing ring to it. But then, unlike The Changeling The Wraith isn't a great and terrifying film, so maybe it wouldn't have helped too much after all. Couldn't have hurt though.

The soundtrack features 10 tracks, but looking at the IMDB listing I found several more songs not featured on the soundtrack. So I've rounded those missing tracks up and I've included them.

1. Tim Freehan - Where's The Fire
2. Honeymoon Suite - Those Were The Days
3. Stan Bush - Hearts vs Heads
4. LaMarca - Hold On Blue Eyes
5. Jill Michaels - Young Love,Hot Love
6. Ozzy Osbourne - Secret Loser
7. Lion - Never Surrender
8. James House - Bad Mistake
9. Ian Hunter - Wake Up Call
10. Bonnie Tyler - Matter Of The Heart

Bonus Tracks

Motley Crue - Smokin' In The Boys Room
Robert Palmer - Addicted To Love
Nick Gilder - Scream Of Angels
Lion - Power Love
Billy Idol - Rebel Yell

EERIE - UFOs Bring Terror To Earth and Stuff

Okay, and we're back with some more EERIE. 8 more, this set includes #84, 85, 86, 88, 89, 90, 91 and 92. I don't currently have 87, but you know the drill, if it turns up you'll find it here later on. I just realized that I already posted #89 in the very first EERIE post I put up, so sorry for those of you who already got that one.

Looking at the cover for #85, I have one question...what purpose would nipples serve on a robot? You're already on thin ice trying to get away with painting a robot with a cowboy hat without it looking ridiculous, why add giant nipples? I mean really.

Also, just wanted to mention that Anubis was kind enough to supply a scan of Creepy #65 in the comments of the last Creepy post. I've added the link to the post, so scroll down a few posts and grab that one if you didn't do so already. Thanks Anubis! Also, thanks to Maney7 for offering up his own scan of the issue as well.

MST3K Escape 2000 - Review

Episode 705, Escape 2000. Not to be confused with the Brian Trenchard-Smith film Turkey Shoot, which is also known as Escape 2000. This is the 1983 Italian film Fuga dal Bronx, which is Enzo G. Castellari's followup to the previous year's 1990:The Bronx Warriors.

Escape 2000 follows the misadventures of Trash (Mark Gregory reprising his Bronx Warriors 1 role), as he attempts to stop Henry Silva and his army of men wearing ineffective fireproof suits from disinfestating the Bronx in order to build a better, kind of futuristic looking Bronx. "Disinfestate" apparently just means "to set people on fire", so clearly native Bronxians like Trash want no part of it. Joining Trash on this epic anti-Silva crusade is the partially insane badass Flank (or Stroke, or something) and his androgynous, prepubescent offspring Junior. (There's also some weird Jerry Lewis/Nosferatu lady with them for a while as well, I didn't catch her name though. She mostly just yells.)

As a big fan of bad post-apocalyptic films of the 1980s, this is one of my favorite episodes. Partly because these types of movies are a blast on their own, but the hilarious onslaught of riffage just adds to it. The guys are just scatting and bebopping allover this one. It does start off a tiny bit slow, but by the end the jokes are just relentless. Escape 2000 also features one of the all-time great characters ever in a movie on the show in Toblerone. Played by Antonio Sabato of all people, Toblerone is so incredibly over the top that Mike, Tom and Crow cheer whenever he makes an appearance. I haven't them this happy about a character since Kline in The Sinister Urge. I recommend this one to any fans of Italian schlock and the music of Francesco De Masi.

Now seriously guys, leave the Bronx.
