More “Nightbreed” comics.“Hellraiser-Nightbreed: Jihad”.
Both “Nightbreed” and “Hellraiser” were given comic series by Marvel’s Epic Comics imprint. Epic was an attempt to compete with the likes of Dark Horse Comics with more adult themed comics including creator owned projects and film adaptations.
Since Epic had two great Clive Barker creations, they made the epic decision to cross them over. The result is an awesome confrontation between the Tribes of the Moon and the Cenobites.
In the story, The Cenobites were a driving force for pushing the Nightbreed into hiding. Since the Cenobites want to impose their idea of order on a chaotic universe, the Nightbreed’s uniqueness made them targets. Pinhead and a force of Cenobites have decided to finished the job the humans started and destroy the Nightbreed. It also brings into conflict Baphomet, the pagan god of the Nightbreed and Leviathan, the lord of the Labyrinth and god of the Cenobites, possibly the Devil himself.
It makes for a great horror crossover.If you can, track it down and read it. It is very well written, the art is beautiful, and along with the other “Nightbreed” comics it is the closes we will get to a sequel to the film. It comes in two books.
Lost comics.
I guess another thing that went wrong is Plan 9 comics lost my comics again. Apparently two whole “ ‘68” series came and went as did a “FUBAR” special, and those idiots never ordered them let alone pull them for me. I had to train that new kid who works their to pull fucking “My Little Pony” for me after the last debacle.
“What do you mean you didn’t pull it for me? I have a subscription through you assholes for it!”
“Oh,Yeah. Wow. It was really popular and sold out quick. Sorry, dude.”
“That is why I subscribed to it!!! So I was guaranteed to get one!”
But I wrote enough about that in an earlier blog. I just had to vent about it. Again.
Holy shit! “Frankenstein’s Army” is finally being made and it looks amazing!
It had been promised since the “Worst Case Scenario” debacle in 2006 or so.
I really, really want to see this movie.
On a related note, the same article where i found this said that there is going to be a sequel to “Dead Snow” and a second sequel to “Outpost”!

Some of my treasures from Mad Monster Party 2013! I have autographs from Ogre of Skinny Puppy (for Hunter) Kane Hodder (for Yvonne), Howard Sherman, Mark Torgl, Gunnar Hansen, and Jeff Zornow! They were all super nice!
It was cool! I got see a bunch of famous people and R.A Mihailoff almost shoved me to the floor! He meant it as a joke but he pushed me harder than he meant to. I will write a more detailed journal of it later, but for now, check out my swag!
“The Strangeness”
This is a really awesome low budget horror film from 1985. I first read about it in the book “Nightmare USA”, a book about independent horror filmmaking in the US. I was intrigued and sought it out. Luckily it was posted on youtube.
It is about a group of people hired to access the condition of an old gold mine to see if it can be reopened.
The mine was sealed and abandoned in the late 1800s when after breaking through to a natural cavern system, something started killing the miners.
Once inside, the group is trapped by a cave in that seals the entrance and must go deeper into the mine to get around the blockage. But they soon come across the cause of the deaths of so many miners. The deep shadows of the mine are home to a tentacled, flesh-eating monster!
Despite being shot on a budget of $25,000 this film has really great atmosphere, some genuinely creepy moments and a gnarly stop-motion animated monster! Check it out!
