THE ZOMBIFIED

What is your favorite memory of Halloween as a child?

The first year- or couple of years (to be honest my memory can be pretty
fuzzy)- that I stopped going trick-or-treating. I stopped trick-or-treating
a lot earlier than most kids, first because I'd ended up having surgery just
before Halloween one year and my mom didn't want me roaming the streets at
night in a fairly fresh cast. Anyhow, I remember spending the night watching
a marathon of Are You Afraid of the Dark? on YTV (a Canadian TV channel)-
that was probably the first year- and later renting everything from
the Halloween series my local video store had to offer and spending the
evening attempting to watch as many of those as possible.



What is your favorite memory of Halloween as an adult?

Honestly, it gets better every year as we get better at cramming as many
thing as possible into October, making Halloween a glorious month-long
celebration! I did get married over Halloween weekend in 2006, which was
obviously awesome and definitely worth noting, but with all the wedding and
moving stuff we didn't do much for actual-Halloween. Last year we hit a
midnight screening of George Romero's Day of the Dead (one of my favorite
movies), the Houston Zombie Walk, a Halloween bash at a local nightclub, and
the All Hallow's Eve theme weekend at the Texas Renaissance Festival (which
is also where the aforementioned wedding took place). This year we're
repeating a bunch of those, plus catching a midnight screening of Lucio
Fulci's Zombie, and kicked everything off at the beginning of the month with
the SplatterFest horror film festival. See? Better every year!



What is your idea of the perfect Halloween?

As much as I love all of the exciting events sprinkled throughout the
Halloween season, I am- at heart- admittedly a bit of a shut-in. On the
actual day of Halloween I just want to do a little bit of people-watching
during the day to check out costumes and such, then grab a Pumpkin Spice
Frappuccino and head home to a big stack of horror movies and a mountain of
fresh popcorn. Ideally, it'll be just cold enough to make a big blanket feel
*awesome* (and I do have a badass Halloween blanket I made myself) and all
of the cats will lay scattered all over the bed just *delighted* to be
wearing their little Halloween costumes. Hey- this is just how it plays out
in my head... in reality the cats just barely put up with their costumes
long enough to get a couple pictures!



What was your favorite Halloween costume?

As a kid, I was always a cat. Every year. Now, I (of course) do a good
zombie, and my Hellboy (...girl?) costume is pretty great, but in the end I
have to say my most favorite is my Hitchhiker (Texas Chainsaw Massacre '74)
costume. It's not terribly extravagant, and I'm not sure how many people
actually recognized it (come on! I live in Texas!), but he's my favorite
character from my absolute favorite movie ever, so it's the one that
delights me the most.



What is your favorite Halloween candy?

I'd take roasted pumpkin seeds over the sugary stuff.

What are some of your favorite Halloween attractions?

I haven't been to many. Where I grew up was pretty isolated and there was
never really anything like that within reasonable driving distance. Since
moving I've been to a couple, but so far nothing too impressive,
unfortunately.



What are some songs and bands that really get you into the Halloween spirit?

The Misfits, Creature Feature, Calabrese, God Module, a good chunk of Alien
Sex Fiend... so many more. My Halloween playlist is seriously over 19 hours
long!



What are some movies that get you into the Halloween spirit?

I'm a bit of a horror addict year round, but I do have a routine though
October. Late September and early October start off with the simple task of
watching more horror (in general), then some old black and white Universal
horror, some Hammer, anything with Vincent Price. I try to rewatch some
favorites- Day of the Dead, The Omen & Omen II, Re-Animator, Puppet Master,
Evil Dead, etc. I try to save the most Halloween-y for last... ideally on
actual Halloween- Sleepy Hollow, Mad Monster Party, Trick 'r Treat, and (of
course) Halloween.
Often when Halloween's over I'll repeat the list in reverse whilst sobbing
hysterically into my (awesome) monster-movie popcorn bowl because I'm so
upset that it's over. (I'm only half kidding...)



What are some of your favorite Halloween TV specials?

Man, it's been so long... I'm pretty sure I really dug Garfield's Halloween
Adventure as a kid.

Who are some of your favorite artists out there doing Spooky, Creepy, Cool,
type artwork?

Gris Grimly, Keith Thompson, Chad Savage, Eric Pigors, etc.


What are some of your inspirations for creating your Spooky, Creepy, Cool artwork?

Halloween everything, horror, anything that just drips with the ooky
spooky!



Do you have anything you are working on currently that we can all look forward to?

Somehow I recently managed to squeeze in a last minute custom piece for
Freddy in Space & Scares for Pairs' Trick or Treat for Breast Cancer
fundraiser (http://www.freddyinspace.com/2011/10/freddy-in-space-scares-for-pairs-trick.html), with the original lineart up for grabs as well.

Calabrese Halloween interview.

2011-10-09T17:20:00.000-07:00

Hello fiends.

One of the Greatest horror punk rock bands around Calabrese were kind enough to answer my series of SpookyCreepyCool Halloween questions.

Calabrese make incredible music that will assault your ear holes with brain blasting rock n roll that can easily be put aside The Misfits classic horror punk. The three brothers from Arizona embody the spirit of Halloween and all things rocking and evil. Calabrese should be a must on everybody's Halloween playlist.

So with no further adieu please enjoy this SpookyCreepyCool interview with...

What are your favorite childhood memories of Halloween?

Jimmy- When I was little I used to feel the magic in the air during Halloween. I grew up in Illinois so I got to experience the seasons change. It was always a great time for me as a kid watching the leaves change color and feeling that first chill in the air.
Bobby -- Nothing specific, but I'll always remember the crazy asshole who always set up the most intricate and insane junk to scare you at their doorstep. It was like a terrifying obstacle course for a few handfuls of candy. I always liked the people who let you walk in their garage-turned-haunted house, too. You don't see too much of that anymore, it sucks!

What are your favorite adult memories of Halloween?

Jimmy – Our Halloween shows have been my highlight.
Bobby -- Yeah, for the last 10 years we've been playing shows on Halloween night -- it's all I've got! But when I was wildest and daring-est, I liked drinking with friends in graveyards around Halloween time. It was stupid and dumb and creepy...but it was great!

What are your ideas of the perfect Halloween?

Bobby -- Buying a ton of crazy monster masks and wandering the streets and neighborhoods like creep!
Jimmy – Being at a Misfits show back 1978.

What were your favorite Halloween costumes?

Jimmy – I think it was my Count Dracula costume my mom made for me…last year. Just kidding! I think I was in first grade.
Bobby -- I mentioned monster masks before, but...I really like monster masks! Easy and effective. My favorites are of zombies, the more fucked up and mutated looking the better. I hate how you breathe your gross candy breath into your face all night, but they look damn cool!

What are your favorite Halloween candies?

Jimmy - Candy corn.
Bobby -- I used to like all the sour and chewy stuff, but now I'm all about the chocolate. Gimme Baby Ruths and Twix!

What are some of your favorite Halloween attractions?

Bobby -- Buying a ton of crazy monster masks and wandering the streets and neighborhoods!
Jimmy- I thought the haunted house at Universal Studios was pretty cool. They had some pretty good sets. I’ve seen Disney at Halloween and that was disappointing. I remember one really good haunted house in Illinois when I was a kid that I begged my Dad to take me into. I can’t recall the name of the place but halfway through the maze of darkness I was clutching my Dad begging him to take me out of there. What a terrifying rush that was!

What are some songs and bands that really get you into the Halloween spirit?

Jimmy – The Misfits, White Zombie, Zombie Ghost Train.
Bobby -- The Ghastly Ones, Slayer, Samhain, Buahaus, The Cramps, Oingo Boingo, The Damned and any film soundtracks by Goblin!

What are some movies that get you into the Halloween spirit?

Jimmy – Halloween, Fright Night, and Nightmare on Elm Street.
Bobby -- Definitely Halloween! I like the third one, that has a cool vibe to it, although it ends pretty terribly. Return of the Living Dead, Dead Alive, Evil Dead 2, Waxwork, Trick or Treat. I try to watch a ton of new horror movies during the season, but sticking to the classics like Argento, Fulci and Romero is never a bad thing! Oh, and the Night of the Living Dead remake gets me in the Halloweeny mood! Totally rad!

What are some of your favorite Halloween TV specials?

Bobby -- I LOVE when sitcoms do their Halloween episodes. I always liked the Home Improvement, Simpsons, Family Matters and Roseanne specials. Roseanne was always the best! Yeah, I watch too much TV.
Jimmy – I like that Disney movie Hocus Pocus that they play every year. I don’t remember any of the TV specials as a kid.

Who are some of your favorite musicians out there doing Spooky, Creepy, Cool, type music?

Bobby -- Creature Feature has a cool thing going! I always liked Zombeast, too, may they rest in peace.
Jimmy- Nim Vind, Chapel of Thieves, Stellar Corpses, Hour Of The Wolf.

Who are some of your favorite artists out there doing Spooky, Creepy, Cool, type artwork?

Bobby -- Matthew Skiff, who's doing a lot of our recent stuff, which ranges from t-shirt of voodoo women to an upcoming Monster Squad parody! His art is great!
Jimmy- The always awesome Andrew Barr, Eric Powell who did our last album art, Kotsu from New Jersey, D.W. Frydendall and so much more!

What are some of your musical inspirations?

Jimmy – Normally I would just name off bands but I must say I’m inspired by great music. As my life changes so does my tastes. Bands that I hated 10 years ago I can finally appreciate, and vice versa.
Bobby -- I love anything loud and dumb!

Do you have anything you are working on currently that we can all look forward to?

Jimmy- We have an animated music video that’s in the works, a new CD that we are currently writing, too. And we are always posting new episodes of the Calabrese Adventures on youtube, so check 'em out!

Where can we learn more about what you guys are currently working on, upcoming shows, and where to pick up your music?

Jimmy – You can check out http://www.facebook.com/l/KAQD-PO_cAQC-IqUDjQKldHwo2DKOE8GFJQEIf0hBp_V8Ng/www.CalabreseRock.com, that’s our main website that points to all our other sites like youtube, facebook, itunes and our merch page. You can also pick up our CD’s wherever music is still sold.

Any Spooky, Creepy, Cool parting words?

Jimmy – A call to action! Stop zoning out and create! Create art, create a blog, start a band! Nothing ever will ever happen to you if you don’t do something.
Bobby -- In the immortal words of Eddie and the Hotrods -- "Do anything you wanna do!"

An interview with the Mad Creator... Gris Grimly.

2011-09-25T09:07:00.000-07:00

Hello SppokyCreepyCool friends. What an incredibly cool day it is today. We are a couple of days into Fall and it is rainy, and cool out. The leaves are changing to their red, orange, and yellow hues as the wind rustles through. One can feel Halloween creeping up behind ready to pounce. What a perfect day.

What an excellent day to bury your head into a wonderful world of skeletons, vampires, jack-o-lanterns, spooky psychobilly creepies, ravishing skeletal beauties, the macabre world of Edgar Allen, The enchanted town of Sleepy Hollow. What a delightful day to tromp through the cemetery with those two grisly ghouls Stash and Hub. What a great day for rocking out to Ghoultown's ode to Elvira.

Today is the perfect day to spend with the amazing artist...

GRIS GRIMLY

What is you favorite memory of Halloween as a child?

My godmother went all out on Halloween. Her teeth are all rotten from eating candy all the time and she cackles when she laughs. I'm convinced to this day that she's a witch. I always looked forward to stopping at their farmhouse for a good scare. It was the second to the last stop before ending at my grandma's farmhouse where we'd get our big popcorn balls. My godmother would set up a small little haunt on her porch where her husband was usually costumed and hidden amongst a bunch of dummies. I remember one time he had a real hallowed out pumpkin on his head with the candy bowl in his lap. I was convinced that he was the dummy. But I was wrong and practically shit my pants when he grabbed my hand.

What is your favorite memory of Halloween as an adult?

Probably seeing the Cramps in 2000. I was dressed as a devil in a pinstripe suit and developed the persona of Satan himself.

What is your idea of the perfect Halloween?

Ideally, it would be staying home, watching horror movies and handing out candy to the kids. But these days I tend to go all out for an exhausting yard haunt that the neighbor kids tour through and get the shit scared out of them before they can get their candy. I love it, but it's a lot of work.

What was your favorite Halloween costume?

One year I bought a wedding dress at a thrift store. I cut off the sleeves showing my manly tattooed arms, threw on a matted black wig and smeared make-up on my face (early Marilyn Manson style). I have never seen people more terrified or concerned. I think they really thought I was a psychopathic crack head. But my favorite costume would have to be a traditional skeleton.

What is your favorite Halloween candy?

It's disgusting, but my favorite candy has to do with tradition and it's those peanut butter blobs that come in black and orange wrappers. Although I think I can only eat one a year.

What are some of your favorite Halloween attractions?

I'm a simple man and find the most pleasure touring the yard haunts of Burbank, North Hollywood and the San Fernando Valley. To me, the true spirit of halloween is found among the neighbor hoods and not at overpriced amusement parks. Sneak into a local cemetery at midnight with friends if you want to get the creeps.

What are some songs and bands that really get you into the Halloween spirit?

Screaming Lord Sutch and Frankie Stein are my favorites. But there is a whole list of singles I love that are mostly 50s and 60s rock n roll.

What are some movies that get you into the Halloween spirit?

The obvious John Carpenter's Halloween, Halloween III: Season of the Witch, old black and white Universal Horror, Mad Monster Party, Rocky Horror Picture Show and Trick R Treat.

What are some of your favorite Halloween TV specials?

"It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" which has a very eerie soundtrack. And it's not Halloween without Elvira.

Who are some of your favorite artists out there doing Spooky, Creepy, Cool, type artwork?

Eric Pigors, David Hartman, DW Frydendall, Eric Powell and Bill Basso.

What are some of your inspirations for creating your Spooky, Creepy, Cool artwork?

Vintage Halloween, old black and white horror movies, Gray's anatomy, Victorian comic art.

Do you have anything you are working on currently that we can all look forward to?

I'm working on a 200 page version of Frankenstein that is fully illustrated from cover to cover. I'm also wrapping up my latest short film Wounded Embark of the Lovesick Mind which is a psychological thriller for horror fans.

Where can we go to see and purchase your artwork work?

Kristen Lawrence Interview

2011-09-19T18:31:00.000-07:00

Hello my wonderful SpookyCreepyCool people.

Well it is getting so very close to Halloween. You can just feel the air getting cooler. The trees are starting to change color. The pumpkin patches are starting to pop up. The stores are out with the Back To School sales and in with the Halloween decor. Wow what a great time of year.

I am thrilled and excited for the coming month and a half. To make things even more exciting I have a wonderful treat for you all. I was very fortunate and am honored to be able to bring you a SpookyCreepyCool interview with musician Kristen Lawrence. So heat yourself up some hot apple cider, sit back by the fire and enjoy an enchanting interview with...

Kristen Lawrence

What is your favorite memory of Halloween as a child?

I have so many delicious memories. What stands out in my mind the most right now,

though, was smelling the cold, fresh Halloween night air as I was out trick-or-treating.

And taking in the black, endless, starry sky. Then seeing and smelling the glowing jack o’

lanterns at every porch. I think the chiaroscuro-esque contrast set my little heart on fire.

Otherworldly.

Of course I liked all the goofiness and silliness associated with costumes and candy, but I

was always aware of something underlying all that. Something, well, magical … and

grandiose. Big. More than my surroundings. Something that pulled at and waltzed with

my spiritual senses and physical senses. I wouldn’t have been able to describe these

feelings at all eloquently as a child, but I remember dancing many times in our darkened

living room which was lit only by glowing Halloween decorations. Complete passionate

ecstasy of childhood.

What is your favorite memory of Halloween as an adult?

I’m still that same little girl, whose heart can’t beat fast enough to take it all in. Whose

lungs can’t fill full enough to breathe it all in. It’s so beautiful and big. Adult memories

of Halloween are always sensually related – dark nights that entice, cool air that I can’t

sniff in deeply enough, smells of candle wax and cinnamon.

I do have a specific, bitter-sweet, surreal memory that haunts me in a good way. It

actually was part of the inspiration for my song, “Dark Glass.” I was in college, hanging

out at a friend’s apartment, and a few of us decided to walk to a grocery store for some pumpkin ice cream. This autumn night was a misty one, which made for such a lovely

walk. We returned and watched “The Nightmare Before Christmas” while I playfully sat

on a long-time friend’s lap (and finally admitted to myself a half-year later that I had

feelings for him).

I can’t explain how beautifully surreal this night was, and so these feelings come out in

my music. And it’s uncanny that a little bit of romance was involved that evening (at

least on my part), because Halloween in centuries past had a great deal of romance

associated with it – an element completely lost in modern celebrations.

(Look up vintage Halloween greeting cards and you’ll see romantic illustrations with text

along the lines of, “Will you find your love this Halloween night?” A lot of Halloween

history involved there. I recommend reading Halloween history books by Lesley

Bannatyne and Jack Santino. Fascinating.)

What is your idea of the perfect Halloween?

Strolling down the street by myself, observing trick-or-treaters. Seeing as many jack o’

lanterns as possible outside in the dark. This element of the evening is so surreal to me.

Then maybe dancing in costume at a party or two, looking at all the creativity that goes

into the costumes around me. And ending the evening quietly with good conversation and

pumpkin-flavored hot chocolate or cider or something, maybe with some Halloween

cartoons or Halloween movie in the background.

What was your favorite Halloween costume?

Cat woman. The Michelle Pfeiffer brand. My friend, a very talented seamstress, made it

for me. Cat woman is my alter ego. Except, I love men. The good ones. The Batman

types.

My other alter ego, in some ways, is the Phoenix (from X-Men). I am constantly learning

how to control my brain, like she needed to. Controlling one’s brain releases good stuff

into the world. I’ve got to put together a costume for that some year.

I also love elf queen/fairy types of costumes. Wearing wings on my back is just a literal

extension of how I try to feel every day. Plus, it’s a “Dark Crystal” type of thing. You

know – only girls have wings.

What is your favorite Halloween candy?

It used to be stuff like Sweet Tarts or Pixie Stix when I was a kid, but now it’s chocolate.

I prefer really fine, snobby dark chocolate, but quality stuff like that is not so common in

Halloween offerings (maybe we should change that), so I usually go for the little

Butterfingers.

I like Reese’s Pieces, but their peanut butter cups are just too sugary; peanut butter needs

to stay savory against the sweet chocolate, not have more sugar mixed in with it. Silly

candy makers.

And it’s kind of fun being an adult now because, in contrast with my kid tastes, I like

Almond Joys now and then (the dark chocolate ones). I think these were the “left-overs”

in most children’s Halloween stashes.

What are some of your favorite Halloween attractions?

Disneyland. Dih-hih-hih-hisneyland. I love what they do to the Haunted Mansion now,

turning it into the Nightmare Before Christmas. It’s so magical just waiting in line with

beautiful music, jack o’ lanterns, and flickering lights. And I love the fireworks show.

Completely outstanding.

What are some songs and bands that really get you into the Halloween spirit?

Oingo Boingo – “Just Another Day”:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7plTsFMyL4Y&feature=related

This song of theirs, more than even “Dead Man’s Party,” puts me in the

autumn/Halloween mood. Ah, it makes the serotonin run strongly in my brain. I’ve been

listening to it since I was about 10 (first cassette tape I ever purchased), so there’s quite a

bit of personal nostalgia involved.

I’ve also always loved Saint-Saëns’ “Danse Macabre”:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyknBTm_YyM

This is one of the songs I danced to in my parents’ living room as a little girl. Ah, rapture.

And then you can’t beat Mussorgsky’s “Night on Bald Mountain”:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8Ca_edg6RE

What are some movies that get you into the Halloween spirit?

The Ghost and Mrs. Muir

Hocus Pocus

Practical Magic

The Nightmare Before Christmas

Corpse Bride

The Others

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (Disney cartoon)

What are some of your favorite Halloween TV specials?

All the Disney’s Halloween Time shows through the years

Dr. Seuss’s “Halloween is Grinch Night”

It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

The Haunted History of Halloween (History Channel)

Garfield’s Halloween Adventure

The Halloween That Almost Wasn’t

Punkin’ Chunkin’ documentaries

… and I just LOVE the theme song from “Witches’ Night Out”:

www.televisiontunes.com/Witchs_Night_Out.html

Who are some of your favorite musicians out there doing Spooky, Creepy, Cool type music?

I’m fascinated by the hidden treasures found in not-necessarily-Halloween artists’

repertoire, like, for example, “Virginia” by Tori Amos:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2ge9QG2yEo

I’ve never paid attention to its lyrics, but for some reason, it always makes me think of

gorgeous autumn leaves back east. Listen to her ghostly wails toward the end of the

song. Shivers!

And listen to “Paradise Circus” by The Lilac time:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8zXuiB2_-Q

Makes me think of quirky Halloween oddballs.

And listen to this treasure of Saint-Saëns hidden in his “Carnival of the Animals” – “The

Aquarium”:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVpl-RNzdE4

He wrote it to sound like fishies, and I can definitely hear that, bubbles and all. But it

also has such a ghostly sound to it, too, don’t you think? Like staring at a full moon.

Who are some of your favorite artists out there doing Spooky, Creepy, Cool type artwork?

Jesse Draper. He painted the cover for my 2009 CD, A Broom With A View.

Not everything he paints or photographs is Halloweeny, mind you, but it’s all fabulous to

me. When he does touch upon the macabre, however, it’s with great taste. Such nice

feelings in his work. Check out this picture:

What are some of your musical inspirations?

Besides cut flowers on my piano and organ? Well, then it would be …

J.S. Bach

Oingo Boingo/Danny Elfman

Tori Amos

Ralph Vaughan Williams

Loreena McKennitt

Nightwish

Do you have anything you are working on currently that we can all look forward to?

Yes! I’m scurrying to finish up some music to release digitally before Halloween.

Because of a change in recording engineers this year, my latest project has been pushed

back, so that’s why I’m releasing some of my music digitally before the physical CD is

compiled. It’s a great time to be an independent artist, I tell you.

Where can we learn more about what you are currently working on, upcoming shows, and where to pick up your music?

Thank you! You can visit my website – http://HalloweenCarols.com – and sign up on my

emailing list. I have links to iTunes, Amazon, etc. where you can purchase my music.

And I do a lot of conversing on facebook – http://www.facebook.com/HalloweenCarols

And I would love it so much if visitors to my website and facebook joined my street team

of P.U.M.P.K.I.N.S. and told all their friends about my Halloween music …

I literally had a dream one night that I made cookies with Alice Cooper. And I think it

would be quite lovely to make it a reality. Wouldn’t that be fun? He and I could put on a

Halloween special, making Halloween cookies and talking Halloween. Maybe on Paula

Dean’s show. Yes. Let’s make it happen!

Now I think it is obvious that I am a huge fan of Unkle Pigors' artwork and I have to say, this book does not disappoint. Their is more awesome Pigors' art in this book then you can shake a bloody stump at.

There is something about Pigors' art that just makes the SpookyCreepyCool kid in me overjoyed. I love all of the Halloween spookyness, gruesome goryness, monster mayhem, and general craziness.

An interview with Shawn Dickinson

2011-09-07T18:58:00.000-07:00

Hello SpookyCreepyCool peoples. I have another fun filled, action packed, exciting treat for all of you. Super coool, hip, groovy, artist Shawn Dickinson was kind enough to answer some more SuperCreepyCool Halloween interview questions. So please enjoy this treat from

Shawn Dickinson

What is your favorite memory of Halloween as a child?

"My earliest favorite Halloween memories was when all the spooky Halloween cartoons and monster movies aired on TV. That was the one time of year when even the lame stations played cool stuff! Then I'd go trick 'r treating...The houses I liked going to the most were the ones where the neighbors transformed their houses into scary HAUNTED houses, and they'd usually dress up as a ghoul or something, hide behind the bushes and wait for me, then scare the living crud out of my 6 year-old poop shoot!"

What is your favorite memory of Halloween as an adult?

"Getting trashed with all my creepy friends, dressed up as a ghoul or something. Then hide behind the bushes and scare the crap out of some 6 year-olds, or elderly folk, or the milkman. And sometimes we'd even do that during Halloween!"

What is your idea of the perfect Halloween?

"Having the perfect Halloween bash...lots of friends, lots of creepy decorations, lots of costumes, lots of spooky records, lots of Halloween cartoons and monster movies, and lots of beer and junk food!"

What was your favorite Halloween costume?

"Surf Fink! I made my own mask, complete with warts and veiny eyeballs! Then I roamed the neighborhood with my surf board and exposed my hairy back."

What is your favorite Halloween candy?

"Chocolate eyeballs! They come in both fudge and peanut butter flavors! I usually try to buy extra bags of them so I can eat eyeballs till next year!"

What are some of your favorite Halloween attractions?

"Usually attractions that my own pals put together, parties or rock shows. I love when my favorite spooky surf/garage bands play Halloween shows!"

What are some songs and bands that really get you into the Halloween spirit?

"My favorite spooky surf band of all time, The Ghastly Ones ("Haulin' Hearse")! I also like lots of vintage Halloween records from the 60's , The Ghouls ("Dracula's Deuce") and The Deadly Ones ("There's a Creature in the Surfer's Lagoon", "Igor Goes Surfing"). I have so many favorite records!"

What are some movies that get you into the Halloween spirit?

"Mad Mad Monster Party, The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini, Monsters Crash the Pajama Party, and lots of other cheesy Halloween themed 50's/60's B-movies. Also lots of horror movies by Hammer Studios featuring sexy Hammer babes, and starring Christopher Lee or Peter Cushing. I also love Nosferotu...the creepiest movie of all time!"

What are some of you favorite Halloween TV specials?

"I love when they show old spooky black & white haunted house cartoons...especially early 30's Fleischer and Ub Iwerks cartoons featuring ghosts, ghouls, and dancing skeletons."

Who are some of your favorite artists out there doing Spooky, Creepy, Cool type artwork?

"My favorite artists who drew monsters and creepy characters were Basil Wolverton, Jack Davis, Dick Briefer, and Wally Wood, and lots of the older guys. Also love all the Ed 'Big Daddy' Roth art. Current artists include my pals Eric Pigors, Ben Von Strawn, and Australian cartoonist Lluis Fuzzhound."

What are some of your inspirations for creating Spooky, Creepy, Cool artwork?

"I watch lots of old cartoons - Fleischers, Ub Iwerks, etc. ..Also lots of old MAD and EC comics, Creepy Magazine, Eerie Magazine, old monster trading cards drawn by Basil Wolverton and Wally Wood, monster album covers drawn by Jack Davis, monster decals from the 60's, Rat Fink monsters, etc. "

Do you have anything you are working on currently that we can all look forward to?

"I'm working on some brand new comic books featuring all my own characters, Schitzles Der Cat, Rocky Arachnid, etc. Unfortunately, I have to work on my own projects (for fun) in between my other freelance work (for meat), so they usually take a while to get them finished."

Where can we go to see and purchase your artwork?

Check out my art blog: www.shawn-dickinson.blogspot.com

Any Spooky, Creepy, Cool parting words?

"Life is like a zit - you gotta squeeze all you can out of it!"

Far-Out! Ghastly One's comic. This thing is a real gas.

2011-09-04T22:51:00.000-07:00

Wow! What I groovy weekend. The mail person is my new best friend. Until the end of the month that is. Bill time is a drag.

I opened my mail on Saturday to find the coolest of cool treats. My Ghastly One's t-shirt package from Eric Pigor's had arrived.

Dig the hip t-shirt, poster, and comic. I mean really, that is one stylish design. Adding another super cool poster to my Unkle Pigor's art collection is a thrill. But for this post I really want to talk about the Comic book.

HOLD ON A MOMENT! Stop everything.

You should probably stop reading this.

You are still reading, aren't you? Good. I meant after I tell you this very important info.

Seriously. Listen up.

Before you read further you need to go grab your Ghastly One's music. Now take that thing and put it in your music player and crank it up. If you do not have the Ghastly Ones tunes, I'd seriously suggest getting on-line and picking some of that stuff up. Itunes and Amazon both carry their tunes. OR better yet...Go to their website http://www.ghastlyones.com/main.htm . At the very least you can go to the Youtubes and play a video or two. Really it adds to the experience.

OK you should be ready to read this now.

So yeah The Ghastly One's comic. WOW!

So much crazy, wacky art to pleasure your eyes. This dealio was written and created by one of Norman Cabrera (Baron Shivers) of The Ghastly Ones and The Finksville 5. The book was drawn, lettered and inked by one of the coolest, hippest cats around, Shawn Dickinson. Seriously, go check this cat's other work out too. You can see his stuff here http://shawn-dickinson.blogspot.com/ .

Oh man this thing has so much cool action and excitement. So much to look at. I mean really, it has Giant Killer Robots, Gigantic Spiders, Spooky Old Castles with Mad Doctors, Evil Shriners in little cars and those funny little hats. Why do they wear those things anyway? Aw who cares. Anyway...It has 50 ft. Babes, giving a new meaning to the term "Big-uns". It has Killer Tikis, A crazy bad ass Biker Gang, and a super hip Beatnik (Daddy Ghoul). Seriously. This book has all of the hip beach partying you can handle, and more. This thing even educates. You will learn all of the lingo you need to navigate Coolsville and impress your Friends.

So much cool beachy fun. After I read this thing I had to shake the sand out of my drawers, and I live in Indiana.

I'm not sure about the current availability of the comic but I'd track it down if you can.

Stay Spooky.

-Paul

Starting my costume for the next year, the day after Halloween! It used to be fun to try and come up with costumes back when Halloween wasn't a pre-made holiday.

What is your favorite memory of Halloween as an adult?

Trick or treating with my daughter when she was young. Lately, I'm always so busy during that time of year, I don't really get to celebrate. However, everyday is pretty mush Halloween in our house ;)

What is your idea of the perfect Halloween?

Perfect Halloween celebration would be a Victorian Vampire Tea Party (but then again I would do that any time of the year) :)

What was your favorite Halloween costume?

I love it when people use their imagination and come up with something creative instead of buying costumes. It's been so long since i dressed up, I don't remember.

What is your favorite Halloween candy?

Smarties!!!!

What are some of your favorite Halloween attractions?

The Haunted Mansion at Disneyland all done up with Nightmare Before Christmas. I am a whimp, I don't do Halloween mazes, they scare the bajeezus out of me!

What are some songs and bands that really get you into the Halloween spirit?

Well considering I have bats painted on the walls in my office *g*, I'm pretty much in the Halloween spirit all year round. I do like listening to the Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack a lot during the season.

What are some movies that get you into the Halloween spirit?

I do love the classics, Dracula and Frankenstein

What are some of your favorite Halloween TV specials?

Peanuts The Great Pumpkin and the Bugs Bunny Cartoon Broom Stick Bunny!

They say 'why are you dressed like it's halloween?

You look so absurd, you look so obscene'............

....And I dress this way just to keep them at bay

Cos halloween is everyday

Making Monsters the Pigor's way!

2011-09-01T17:42:00.000-07:00

Holy blackbean poptarts with cherry syrup!

I just spent an ungodly amount of time creating monsters. Am I a mad scientist? Am I a crazy loony person that sees aliens dinning with Elvis and Michael Jackson on his patio every now and then? I think not. At least not that I will freely admit.

I just went over to the Itunes store this morning and picked up the Monsterpieces App programmed by that mad genius Eric Daniels with music by Los Straightjackets and featuring the artwork of ERIC PIGORS! HOLY COW!

If you like monsters, and I know you do.

If you like creating creatures that defy the laws of nature and good taste.

If you like having a ton of fun creating an army of monsterous creatures to do your bidding and enslave the entire human race.

If you like plucking out nose hairs in your underwear while watching hours of Oprah.

Ok...maybe not that last one.

YOU NEED MONSTERPIECES!

An Interview with The Creeping Cruds axeman...Jeano Roid Coffinberry

2011-08-28T19:03:00.000-07:00

Friends and Fiends you are in for another fun filled treat. Mister Jeano Roid Coffinberry guitarist for one of the spookiest, creepiest, coolest bands around... The Creeping Cruds, was kind enough to take some time out of his Schedule to answer some questions about him and everybody's favorite Holiday. So please pour a glass of your favorite poison and enjoy the latest SpookyCreepyCool interview with...

Jeano Roid Coffinberry

What is your favorite memory of Halloween as a child?

We moved a lot when I was a kid and my memories of “true” neighborhood style trick or treating are when a I was a wee monster kid in Ohio, when I was simply too young to appreciate it all. When I was 9 we moved to South Florida, which is no place to allow a kid to go out in the dark begging for candy. You’d come home with a real knife in your neck with your candy hijacked. So I guess my fondest memory was when my mother bought me the Dekker Toys “Horror Makeup Kit”, which enabled me to show up at school around Halloween with all kinds of horrible wounds etc. It freaked some of the other kids out and I got sent home. Haha! I do recall the very first “haunt” I ever went to which was down on Broadway in West Palm Beach at some huge church. I was maybe 10 years old, alone, on my bike and had no idea what I was in for. In those days they didn’t have the “no touching” policies that they have today. It scared the living shit out of me! I was definitely crying by the time I made it out. It was true horror!

What is your favorite adult memory of Halloween?

My wife Tanya and I were married on Halloween so that’s a no-brainer! It was totally done up evil with pumpkins, spiders and a killer Rockabilly and Surf cover band that was louder than Black Sabbath. Now every year we set up a killer driveway haunt, similar to a small-time version of PumpkinRot. It’s the greatest night of the year. Look forward to it for 364 days. This is of course preceded by two months of classic horror movies and all kinds of horror fun. November 1^st is the saddest day of the year.

What is your idea of the perfect Halloween?

59 degrees, wind blowing just enough to stir up some leaves but not blow out the jack o' lanterns, preferably a Friday/Saturday and not a weekday Halloween. Setting up the haunt and going deep into the night scaring kids, watching old horror flicks and basically soaking it in. Late Halloween night is special as well. After everything is done and put away. The original Halloween II captures this perfectly. Jack o' lanterns burning out, the last groups of kids off in the distance etc. A perfect open-windows night makes all the difference.

What was your favorite Halloween costume?

I always did it up as The Wolfman as a kid. He was the most coveted monster in the day, hands down. Nowadays everyone is into vampires and zombies but when I was a kid werewolves were it. Larry Talbot was the shit. Even Frankenstein didn’t compete.

What is your favorite Halloween candy?

Those orange pumpkins that taste just like the last bit of the candy corn heal. And apples with razor blades of course. They taste “reddish”

What are some of your favorite Halloween attractions?

Though we haven’t done it in a few years, the Haunted Mansion/Nightmare Before Christmas event in Anaheim is special. They do a great job. Locally, Slaughterhouse is pretty mind blowing! The first year we did Slaughterhouse Tanya and I went with Jimmy Psycho and all three of us got the horror treatment. We were running and falling down, freaked out completely!

What are some songs and bands that really get you into the Halloween spirit?

I like all the old traditional Halloween songs and bands of yore and some of the modern stuff. Pigors sent me a killer CD mix of Halloween oldies that I listen to all year long. Favorites are "I want my baby back" by Jimmy Cross, I'm The Wolfman by The Fuzztones and all those Monster Mash type tunes of the day. There's also a cool Night of the Living Dead themed record by 400 Lonely Things that I listen to fairly often. I have a couple of John Carpenter soundtracks that do the trick every time.

I have been doing similar mixes that we play between bands at The Horror Hootenanny every year. Includes old audio trailers of terror and all kinds of horror music.

What are some movies that get you into the Halloween spirit?

The entire Universal Horror catalog, Trick r Treat, Halloween, Blacula, Night of The Living Dead. The usual suspects of Halloween horror! I especially love The Son of Frankenstein, which is in my book the best of all The Universal Horror flicks. Igor gets it done!

What are some of your favorite Halloween TV specials?

I suppose The Great Pumpkin? I pretty much go straight to the flicks..

Who are some of your favorite musicians out there doing Spooky, Creepy, Cool, type music?

Jackson Phibes (Forbidden Dimension) in my book is tops. He is the anti-Misfits (yes The Misfits are great, but just so absolutely played out). For my money “Vinegar” Tom Bagley aka Jackson is the strongest, smartest song writer in the realm of Horror-ish Rock. Dude can really play some guitar as well. He’s been around almost as long as The Misfits and has a plethora of records that have varied in style and sound over the years, if you can find the stuff. New record coming out this year called “Tor Johnson Mask” on a Tor Johnson Mask pic disc. Cool stuff! Tom is doing a vocal track for me on my upcoming solo release. DJ Bonebrake from X plays drums on the same track, so needless to say it’s going to be a real lifetime music highlight for me! Locally I’m a big Dr. Gangrene/Spookhand fan and I’ve just discovered Dead Dick Hammer and can’t wait for his new stuff to come out. There are a shitload of slick Misfits clones out there and it just becomes tiresome hearing the “same ol’” touted as some groundbreaking shit, when it’s anything but. Horror Rock is a challenge because the many of the kids tend to only know the same three or four tired, generic Misfits clones.

Who are some of your favorite artists out there doing Spooky, Creepy, Cool, type artwork?

Basil Gogos, Stephen Blickenstaff, Eric Pigors, Tom Bagley, Gaither, Pooch Island, XNO, Ghoulish Gary, PumpkinRot

What are some of your musical inspirations?

Should be pretty obvious but it all starts with The Ramones and AC/DC. I love me some Turbonegro, Classic Supersuckers, Poison Idea, old Alice Cooper, old Aerosmith, Cramps, Judas Priest, Pistols, Man or Astroman, most of the old SST and L.A. punk of the day. I’m digging OFF! a lot as well as the horror bands previously mentioned.

Do you have anything you are working on currently that we can all look forward to?

A new Creeping Cruds record is starting to look like it could happen next year. At any moment I could be called in to play guitar for Psychocharger. That always seems to happen when I least expect it! I have a solo “Jeano Roid Experience” record I’ve been working on for about three years that may be wrapped up soon. I kinda leaked a track "Calling Dr. Gangrene" Lotsa special guests! A Creeping Cruds comic book (part of a series of Horror Bands) has already started coming together. I just released the CD version of one of my earliest bands called Death Turd and it’s a lot of fun – dating back to the 80s. It also features Boomer from The Cruds and is available thru Stikman Records. My very first band, the one that kinda put Boomer and I on the map – The Roidz, has been rehearsing up the old tunes and we will eventually go and rerecord all the hits for a brand new Greatest Hits deal. Purely for fun. I also had a hand in putting out a very cool comp of all the heavy underground Palm Beach County bands from the first three decades of that scene called The South Florida Thrashback. It’s a benefit comp for an old friend who was hurt pretty bad in a car accident. This is a special record to me as it features just about all of our contemporaries from the day. It was a rocking scene and to my knowledge hasn’t been properly documented until now. I should mention that the dude that did the cover art is a pretty cool guy!

Where can we learn more about what you are currently working on, upcoming shows, and where to pick up you music?

It’s pretty spread out. There’s always CreepingCruds .com, which barely gets updated (d’oh!). At this point it would be best to friend me (Jeano Roid Coffinberry) or The Creeping Cruds. I post most updates there immediately.

Any Spooky, Creepy, Cool parting words?

Stay Tombed! More Cruddy stuff to come – real soon!
