Why? Why revive a rotted, decayed, mummified old blog after all this time?<br />
<br />
Well, I have created a new Facebook group devoted to artist Bob Larkin, and he shared a couple of uber-cool skulls he had painted, and I thought they belonged here as well! While you are at it, join us at the group: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/boblarkinappreciationgroup">https://www.facebook.com/groups/boblarkinappreciationgroup</a><br />

The panels picture above are from his art for the graphic novel adaptation of the card story.

A movie based on a silly kid's toy line? No way would I watch this <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">dreck</span>!<br /><br />But, I finally gave in and rented it; and surprise, surprise, surprise: I enjoyed it! People complain of it's cheesiness, but I like cheese in moderation, and this is like creamy Velveeta on a crisp, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">fresh</span> Saltine cracker. As silly as it is, and it is very silly, there are some things to like about it. An awesome score by Bill <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Conti</span> brings a weight and emotional impact not expected; Frank <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Langella</span> as <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Skeletor</span> brings to the role his voice and regal but wry bearing. Other things that stand out; Meg Foster's spooky eyes as Evil-Lyn, Teel<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">a's</span> thong-enhanced tights, James <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">Tolkan</span> (Mr. Strickland from "Back To The Future") doing his usual character as Detective <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">Lubic</span>; epic sets and effects, bringing to life the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error">Moebius</span> art design. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error">Somehow</span> the movie succeeds in rising about it's toy-based roots and does it with a grin that says "we know it's dumb, but let's have some fun with it!"<br /><br />The departures from the animated series concepts only served to make it a better movie, moving it more into a science fiction realm than that of sorcery. And <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error">bringing</span> the action to Earth, involving a teen couple as our link to reality, makes the drama more close to home and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">relatable</span>.<br /><br />So, I've watched far, far dumber movies than this with lesser music, actors, effects and story. Why shouldn't I put this on occasionally and enjoy it for what it is?

It kind of took the wind out of my sails as far as the ability to post regularly, and I've avoided even visiting it since I knew I owed my online pals more of what I had been delivering. I had to admit I had kind of run out of steam when it came to skulls. I have to go looking for things to post, as opposed to drawing out of my own resources and collected items. I have updated my three other blogs regularly, since their topics are easy to come up with new material out of my collection. </p><p align="left">In fact, I'm on the verge of starting a new blog that focuses on science fiction similar to the way My Monster Memories focuses on horror.

All this convinces our man Frank Cross to change his ways, although one gets the idea that he repents only to save his life, instead of having a truly humbling and heart-changing experience. This movie is pretty low on my list of favorite versions of the story, but it's worth a watch for a holiday laugh, like "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation."<br /><br /><p>In any event, we can all learn from Scrooge's lessons, and hopefully "to open our shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below us as if they really were fellow-passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys." </p><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5Eeb2yTUx7lunEyOKLth0r3ha81tORlYDJiQgfXJG9ymesDCyf5omarXSatYtZg6lQ3uCTroDGzhnufM3FrvQBRzaQKcmIVSCtbabSPWhSsl4e4I30WXg5vnOGxa4W_xc1dI3OHbl4zHP/s1600-h/specter_panel.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283051780552718562" style="WIDTH: 339px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 339px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5Eeb2yTUx7lunEyOKLth0r3ha81tORlYDJiQgfXJG9ymesDCyf5omarXSatYtZg6lQ3uCTroDGzhnufM3FrvQBRzaQKcmIVSCtbabSPWhSsl4e4I30WXg5vnOGxa4W_xc1dI3OHbl4zHP/s400/specter_panel.jpg" border="0" /></a><strong><br />For a special treat, read the entire Marvel<br />comic adaptation of "A Christmas Carol" </strong><a href="http://sheeplaughs.com/scrooge/comicpage00.htm"><strong>here!</strong></a><br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Have a wonderful Christmas!<br /></span></strong><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">And, as Tiny Tim observed, "God Bless Us, Every one!"</span></strong></p>Frederickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11868719487717506764noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242243471346986264.post-89761902677849266142008-12-22T08:21:00.001-08:002008-12-23T05:44:01.569-08:00The Face of the Future<div align="center"><strong>The Skeletal Spotlight shines this time on:</strong><br />"The Ghost of Christmas Yet-To-Come"</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:78%;"><em>(Click on images to view larger.)<br /></em></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7P1nsUGZRwLeNXsrYejOK5Tj-91dyRKb55c2TlHu-aqKKd79fb1GhcWdQiZtaPvtvJi_btOP64b5BW-gNIfp73RO5ZcL3IhWfF8J6ywxWT-f7E1goU87pobBtkwcT2ifEWcrbekjhkXMu/s1600-h/scrooge_pic01.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282655096481522114" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 177px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7P1nsUGZRwLeNXsrYejOK5Tj-91dyRKb55c2TlHu-aqKKd79fb1GhcWdQiZtaPvtvJi_btOP64b5BW-gNIfp73RO5ZcL3IhWfF8J6ywxWT-f7E1goU87pobBtkwcT2ifEWcrbekjhkXMu/s400/scrooge_pic01.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#ffff33;">"Hey, Ebenezer, pull my finger!"</span></div><br />In the 1971 film "Scrooge," starring Albert Finney, we finally get to see what's hidden under the dusky shroud of the Ghost of Christmas Future.

The fright causes him to lose balance and tumble into what is now an open grave. The film then takes this scene farther, by having Scrooge experience a little of his pending punishment right then, as he falls down a chasm til he ends up in Hades.

They just don't make posters like that any more! From 1970, this el-cheapo filmed-in-Florida flick exploits the natural gag-and-ick factor of maggots, while providing ex-actress Veronica Lake a small check to pay for some extra dog food she might have needed. Surely the script didn't entice her to come out of retirement! I mean, what self-respecting actress would want that as the last movie on their filmography?<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn_zPKz9Gue8M7l7RbAlZp6p66Gs7zRyQBbcx5PEiAV2xHFLzwd3mLaz2Zx-d6fojjiLRG29x1K0fL2hHZ-8ZxMjQndAGsiXE8R2dOzXqPe7aDuehghJ8jUd86ZDvwX-YVKmfqwLKT_BEk/s1600-h/fear_is_the_key.jpg"></a>Frederickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11868719487717506764noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242243471346986264.post-12380100763063468012008-12-01T10:34:00.000-08:002008-12-01T13:16:49.031-08:00The Graveyard Shift poster<div align="center"><strong>The Skeletal Spotlight shines this time on:<br /></strong>The "Graveyard Shift" poster<br /></div><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAwkH_cK08bPVdhaHhemyvzD0vqievMAg9bQNVhSbKFsUsOvdGoQwqJ58_9hicOKEfTV1wYS845nm0d7z-inLLuFjqIpYxKfkP8neVs5gYE7nJfiEK7aUYVaKsp5Fr4sZPvbLtzFKaTy5b/s1600-h/graveyard_shift_poster_01.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5205795301951429058" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAwkH_cK08bPVdhaHhemyvzD0vqievMAg9bQNVhSbKFsUsOvdGoQwqJ58_9hicOKEfTV1wYS845nm0d7z-inLLuFjqIpYxKfkP8neVs5gYE7nJfiEK7aUYVaKsp5Fr4sZPvbLtzFKaTy5b/s400/graveyard_shift_poster_01.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#ffff33;">"Yeah, black lung killed me, but I'm still working off my debt to the company store!"</span></p><p align="left">Although the poster seemed to promise coal miner zombies rising from the depths of the unsafe shafts to wreak bloody pick-and-shovel vengence on the tight-fisted company owners who put them at risk, no such luck.

Initially released in 1968 under the title "Witchfinder General," it was released under this new title later to link it to the successful series of Corman/Price/Poe films that had come before.<br /><br />Although I missed seeing nearly all of the Price films when they came out, I've been steadily collecting them on DVD as they are released. So far, I don't have this one, but am on the lookout for it.

Living out an actor's dream, he takes bloody and ironic revenge on his theatrical critics.

And with all the many blog entries out there showcasing Halloween Sound Effects LP and CD covers, I've never seen this posted anywhere before.
