Sex And Monsters In My Pocket


Since the first time I saw what looked like Harry from Harry and the Hendersons fucking a girl while talking about big feet, I have been sold on Will's art and humor. Shit makes me laugh my balls out me nose.



These days, Nintendo has made a ba-zillion bucks cashing in on the popularity of Pikachu, Squirtle and Charmander.  But when I was growing up, I owned a creature that could have wiped the floor with any of these so-called “pocket monsters.” 

I had the Antichrist. 

You see, before there was “Pokemon,” there was “Monster in My Pocket.”  Produced by Morrison Entertainment Group, and distributed by Matchbox in 1990, this pint-size toy-line started things off with a bang with its very first figure: “The Great Beast.” 

The Great Beast is, of course, the seven-headed demonification of the Antichrist, as told by Christians in the Book of Revelation.  And he fit in my pocket.    

Other figures included a slew of characters from works of literature, classic mythology, and international folklore.  In each “secret 12-pack” that my dad picked up from the local KB Toys, I found miniature versions of my favorite monsters, like Werewolf! Vampire! Zombie!  But even better, I discovered new monsters that I’d never heard of before, like Cockatrice! Manticore! Spring-Heeled Jack!   

A handy checklist was included in each package to provide a little background info on the monsters, and rank them in order of an assigned value from 5 to 25 points. This was a great way to “prove” my theory that a werewolf (25 points) could beat a vampire (10 points).  However, I was forced to assume that my Mummy figure was modeled after Kharis, and not Imhotep, because he was only valued at a mere 5 points. 

“Monster in My Pocket” proved to be a smashing success in the early ‘90s, and spawned over 10 additional series of mini-figures, a video game, trading cards, comic books, an animation special, and an exclusive fan club (of which I remain a card-carrying member).  I think the secret to this success was that these figures were not just marketed as “toys,” but were sold as “collectibles.”  And the product never seemed to speak down to kids, but provided a gateway to learn about new and different mythologies and cultures.  In a round-about way, these tiny monsters promoted diversity and encouraged the acceptance of others. 

Now if only kids today could put down their Poke Balls, and play with the Antichrist, the world might be a better place!

Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated: The Best Thing to Happen to your Childhood Nostalgia since...I don't know, Robot Chicken, maybe?


Gabe Nye and I have spent more hours hunting for horror DVDs/memorabilia together than two grown ass men should admit. Many a night spent with a bottle of whiskey and a stack of movies full of puppets, bloody boobs, and knife wielding maniacs. We have suffered through some the most atrocious shit you can imagine, and discovered some of the best. His science is tight most of the time, unless he is lying to me about Bill Nye being better than Beakman. 



Lets be honest, most attempts to cash in on our childhood are pretty mediocre. Don't get me wrong, I like Michael Bay's Transformers movies a lot, and JJ Abrams' Star Trek is awesome, but they never really live up to the memories of my childhood. I'd wager a lot of you feel the same way. Is there anything that truly lives up to, or even surpasses what we hold in our hearts as perfect? I submit that Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated not only matches the quality of the classic cartoon, but far surpasses it.

If you're anything like me, the classic Scooby Doo cartoons were your first introduction into the world of horror. It was a show full of ghosts and monsters and a group of innocents trying to survive the terror. Sure, it always turned out to be "old man such and such" trying to scare people away from the "abandoned whatever" and not real spooks, but it was still creepy and fun. (For the record, I'm ignoring the later cartoons where the ghosts and monsters turned out to be real. Those ruined the theme of the show and I don't acknowledge them.) My parents didn't let me watch horror movies when I was a kid, unlike some people (I'm looking at you Tromeric) so Scooby Doo was about as close as I got back then. 

That said, have you gone back and watched those old Scooby Doos anytime recently? Like a lot of things we loved as kids, they aren't as great as we remember. Between that and the shitty newer Scooby Doo with real monsters I didn't have a lot of hope for Mystery Incorporated. If you weren't aware of Mystery Inc. until now, it's the latest incarnation of our favorite mystery solving teens, airing on Cartoon Network since 2010. I probably should've mentioned that at the top. Anyway, I was dubious, since (despite my love for the James Gunn penned live action movies) Scooby Doo hasn't been worth watching in a hell of a long time. 

After hearing some good things from trusted Internet sources about it, I figured it was worth a look. Let me tell you, "worth a watch" doesn't even begin to do this show justice. It is phenomenal. To start out, all the comedic beats you expect from SD are there. (Can we agree that spelling out Scooby Doo every time is irritating, or at the very least that I'm lazy and don't want to do it? From now on let's agree on SD.) Shaggy and Scooby are cowards who love to eat, Velma is the smart one, Daphne is the slutty hot chick (But not as hot as Velma to me, am I right nerds?), and Freddie is the leader wearing an ascot. So, you're immediately on familiar ground, and you think you know how shit is going to go down. But then the new show gets clever. It immediately starts to build a mythology. These aren't mystery solving teens who roam the country looking for the supernatural. They're mystery solving teens who live in Crystal Cove, the "Most Hauntedest Place on Earth" as the town loves to proclaim. What does this set location mean for the show? It means that you now have a cast of recurring secondary characters to flesh out the cast. More importantly, it means that the writers can set up an overarching story to frame the episodes around. Much like your favorite live action sci-fi/horror shows like Buffy and the X-Files you get your "monster of the week", but each episode also gives you plot points and clues to a much bigger mystery. It's fucking great. 

Those are the broad points of what makes SD: MI great, but there's so much more to get you hooked. The creators are obviously huge pop culture nerds, like us, and they aren't afraid to let their nerd flag fly. Episodes are chock full of awesome references, from silent movie horror (there's a restaurant called the Crab-net of Dr Calamari) to a whole episode riffing on Nightmare on Elm Street. Even better, there's an amazing Cthulhu inspired episode, with Jeffrey Combs voicing HP Hatecraft, also featuring Harlan Ellison playing himself as a rival author. If the horror references weren't enough (spoiler: they are) there are insane references to all manner of pop culture icons, from Superbad to The Warriors. They aren't afraid to bring in other Hanna-Barbera characters either. One of my absolute favorite episodes casts Blue Falcon and Dyno-Mutt as dark anti-heroes, lifting tons of dialog and style from The Dark Knight Returns. If that doesn't give you a huge nerd boner, you and I don't have a lot to talk about.

The main characters are given a lot of thought too, elevating them from the one-note stereotypes that we're used to. Velma and Shaggy develop a romantic relationship, which forms a weird, but understandable triangle with Scooby. Freddy and Daphne have a relationship too, of course, but Freddie is made more multi-dimensional by an odd family dynamic and an unhealthy obsession with trap building. 

I'd be remiss if I didn't throw some love out to the cast as well. The voice talent is just awesome. Frank Welker reprises his role as Freddie (that's right, same dude that did the voice when you were a kid) and he's fantastic. Look him up on IMDB sometime, he is the voice of your childhood, and he never quit. He's Megatron, Santa's Little Helper, Nibbler, and pretty much every animal noise you've ever heard in a movie/tv show. Since Casey Kasem isn't really doing much these days, (honestly, I thought he was dead until I looked him up for this article) Matthew Lillard reprises the role of Shaggy, after playing him in the live action flicks, and is still doing a great job. The supporting cast is great too, Patrick Warburton (Puddy from Seinfeld, Joe from Family Guy, Brock Samson from Venture Bros, the live action Tick) is the sheriff, and Gary Cole (the boss from Office Space, "if you could come in on Saturday, that'd be great mmmmkay") as the mayor/Freddie's dad. 

Seriously, I'm just scratching the surface here. I could write a whole series of articles about this show. If you ever loved Scooby Doo, watch this new one. Even if you hate the old Scooby, watch this new one. My brother (Jacob Von Klingele, look for his article on horror toys for kids in this series, it's awesome) hates old Scooby Doo, but I talked him into watching Mystery Incorporated and he loved it. Bottom line, it's a great cartoon for kids, and adults will find a ton of stuff to love too, maybe even more. Oh yeah, the first season is out on DVD, and season two ended not too long ago, so I'm sure it'll be out soon.

SPAWN OF GIZMO or CHRISTMAS MOVIES SUCK UNLESS PEOPLE DIE IN THEM



When I first heard of another place full of booze and horror I had to become a regular. I now am that drunk guy at the end of the bar over at The Tavern of Terror. 






With Christmas lurking around the corner like a jingle-jangle stalker, my mind is already
compiling a catalogue of holiday classic I hope to squeeze in another viewing of this
December.

I never watch what most people consider Christmas classics. It’s a Wonderful Life and
that pain in the ass Frosty the Snowman never enter my schedule, and I’d rather be kicked
in the balls every morning than ever sit through Rudolph again. You see, I’m a cynical,
mean-spirited Grinch. I find Christmas to be not only superficial, but also extremely
annoying. The cheery music and candy-colored phoniness of the holiday is as shrill as
Rudolph’s nose noise and it cuts through my fragile sanity like a nail.

Therefore, I like to see the holiday get its due. In other words, I like to see it ruined –
particularly violently.

Luckily my black heart is not alone in this feeling, and there is a myriad of mean movies
that take place at yuletide time. From the hilarious Bad Santa to the sleazy Silent Night,
Deadly Night to television nasties like Married With Children’s classic two-parter It’s
a Bundyful Life, my Christmas library has enough negativity to safely get me through a
thousand forced hearings of Santa Baby.

But if there is one movie that really opened my frontal lobes to the very idea that a
Christmas movie could be dark and violent, it would have to be the very first Christmas
themed horror movie I saw.

Like most people who grew up in the 80’s, Gremlins, is a morbid holiday tradition. Part
black comedy and part monster movie, this enormously popular fright flick, while kid
friendly (by 80’s standards), is the first movie I ever saw that took place on Christmas
and yet had everything going horribly wrong for the protagonists. There are no miracles
here, only monsters. Even as a child, I really appreciated that.

I won’t bother writing a plot synopsis of the movie. Anyone reading this will have seen it
and knows what it is about. If not, why are you reading my dumbass opinion of Gremlins
when you could be watching a masterpiece like Gremlins?

What I prefer to talk about instead is the phenomenon that Gremlins spawned. On top of
having a solid sequel, Gremlins was also ripped-off and spun-off of so many times that it
actually gave birth to a horror sub-genre.

Mini-monsters spewed out of theaters and direct-to-video snap cases like a swarm of
locusts. From satanic shorties (Ghoulies), to intergalactic man-eaters (Critters) to horny,
green dudes (Munchies), the success of Gremlins had discount studios desperately
trying to jump on the band wagon, even if they were turning it into a shit wagon so foul
that it would make buzzard faint (see Hobgoblins). Little green guys were suddenly
everywhere, some of them spinning off more sequels than Gremlins ever did, even if they 
never came close to being the merchandise juggernaut that Gizmo became. Forget all the
dolls, that lil’ rascal got his own fucking cereal!


Knee-high horror gave way to more midget monsters as well. Leprechauns, killer toys,
and one very special possessed doll forever changed the stature of horror. Jive-talking,
break-dancing trolls were upstaging the tall men in black.

Eventually though, these mini-monsters started to wear out their welcome. They began
to pull Three Stooges routines and have outrageous plots that sent them into space or off
to college. Even the most hardened bad movie fan began to tire of this silly shit, and I
think that The Creeps, the 1997 movie with little people as the universal horror monsters
(Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy and Wolfman) was really the final insult.

Just when you think a fad in horror is dead and buried, someone dusts off its moldy
bones. We horror fans are nothing if not nostalgic, and we love familiar frights. We
ask for this shit, and we get it. At the time of my writing this, a new Child’s Play film
is in the works. Puppet Master X (the tenth in the series about murderous marionettes)
just came out too. And Gremlins is more popular than ever, with talks of a reboot in the
works. Let’s just hope they keep Joe Dante in charge, that loveable madman.

Gremlins itself has aged well, I might add. The only thing really dated about it is the
clothing everyone wears, but that just adds to the nostalgia. Even someone as anti-
Christmas as myself has a hard time not being sentimental about being a kid at Christmas
in the 80’s whenever I watch this classic.

And if anyone would ever doubt my strong love for this original little monster movie, all
they need do is stop by the Tavern of Terror and see my Stripe action figure on display.
It is the very same one that I played with when I was just a little kid – even then creating
terror around the tree.

Freddy Goes to Space and Takes on Little Monsters


Today we have Johnny from Freddy in Space, a blog I have been reading for a Christ age. The amount this gentlemen blogs seems impossible. Whether he is home after the dentist, high on painkillers watching not only the first, but also the second dentist movie and telling us about it, or just keeping us up to date on DVD releases and some of the most unique horror findings out there. He is one busy dude that you should check out.

Since I barely have time to get all the blogging done on my own blog (Freddy In Space...cheap plug!!) that I need to get done, I generally don't have the time to do guest posts on other blogs. I sure wish I did, but ya know, between real work and real life, there just isn't all that much free time to sit around on the computer pecking away at the keys. But when your fearless host here at Guts & Grog, Eric, pitched me on the idea of taking part in his Kids Horror theme week, there was simply no way I couldn't join in the fun. There is nothing I love more in this world than the cinematic fusion of kids and monsters, whether it's kids fighting monsters or kids befriending monsters, and perhaps no better example of the awesomeness that can result from that fusion than Little Monsters, one of my personal favorite movies all of time. The slot to talk about the film was still open when I got back to Eric, and I wouldn't have felt right about not being the one to fill it up. So let's fill it up!


Made in 1989, Little Monsters had a simple but incredibly brilliant premise, combining the childhood fear of monsters under the bed with the kid friendly monster craze of the time, as seen in everything from movies like The Goonies to toys like My Pet Monster. In the world of Little Monsters, monsters really do live and breathe right under our feet, and they have access from their underworld into our world through portals underneath the beds of children across the world. There are good monsters and bad monsters, just as there are good and bad humans, and it's a good monster named Maurice that Fred Savage's character Brian encounters and befriends in the film. When his little brother Eric (played by Ben Savage!) fears that monsters are living under his bed, Brian decides to switch rooms with him, and prove him wrong. Thus begins the incredible friendship between Brian and Maurice, a friendly, and totally manic, blue skinned monster with a blue mohawk, a rockstar personality and a stomach allergy to AA batteries, played to perfection by Howie Mandel, who had previously provided the voice for another loveable monster from the 80's; Gizmo. Much like Mandel in real life, Maurice's job is to prank kids while they sleep, and do things that are going to get them in trouble when their parents wake up, like smear chocolate syrup hand prints all over the fridge and stick gooey ear wax into the cotton swab container. It's all fun and games for Maurice!


Little Monsters was a childhood favorite of mine, and it still to this day is my comfort movie, that one movie everyone has that they put on whenever they're feeling down, to lift them back up again. It never ceases to put a smile on my face, and I typically find myself popping the DVD in at least a couple of times every year, to remind myself what it felt like to be a kid. Little Monsters is truly every monster kid's wildest and most magical fantasy come to life; having a real life monster for a best friend, hanging out with him all night in the underworld, watching that cute freckle faced girl you like while she sleeps and having your monster friend piss in your most hated classmate's apple juice bottle ...it all sounds slightly creepy and pretty damn cruel now that I think about it, but for any kid who cuddled up with a My Pet Monster doll while watching horror flicks and munching on Doritos, Little Monsters perfectly reflects the pure nostalgic bliss of being, well, a little monster. In a nutshell, that's precisely why I love it so much, and why I so often find myself revisiting it, to recapture that little monster that still very much lives inside of me.
Photobucket
What's great about the movie is that it's really a two headed monster; it starts off very friendly and fun, with Maurice and Brian bonding and laughing the night away together, and then in the second half becomes a pretty scary little horror flick, especially for children. Something I always loved about The Gate is how it didn't shy away from the darker side of things, and really thrust the kids into truly horrifying and dangerous situations, and Little Monsters is not without its horrifying qualities. At around the one hour mark, things take a turn for the scary when the dark side of being best friends with a monster rears its ugly head, and the two bad monsters are revealed; Snik and 'Boy'. Snik is essentially the villainous horror flick version of Maurice, a big badass blue monster with a serious mean streak. As for 'Boy', who Snik lives to serve, he's a character that would fit right in with folks like Leatherface and Patrick Bateman. Boy runs the underworld, and is flanked by an army of evil killer toys. Though he looks like a very human and highly innocent young school boy, we soon realize that Boy is actually a hideous monster who wears the skin of children (at least, that's the implication), to appear human. Oh and we also find out that if you spend too much time in the underworld, you become a monster yourself, a servant of the evil Boy's. Now if that shit aint scary, then I don't know what scary is!!

Blending together the kid friendly elements with the more horrific kids vs monsters elements, Little Monsters is the absolute perfect movie to help usher kids into the world of horror movies, and I personally cannot wait to show it to my future child, the same way my parents showed it to me. That's gonna be a magical night that I highly look forward to. Watching it nowadays makes me seriously miss the days of real family friendly horror movies, which these days seem to all be sanitized and animated, when they even do get made. Little Monsters fits right alongside Monster Squad, The Gate and Gremlins for me, all magical childhood favorites that I will forever cherish.
Photobucket
I would like to use the remainder of my time here on Guts & Grog to do something I've always wanted to do; eat a peanut butter and onion sandwich, the food of choice for Fred Savage's character in the movie. Last night, I went out and bought an onion, a bag of bread and a jar of peanut butter, the latter of the chunky variety. In the movie Savage prefers creamy, but I'm more of a chunky kinda guy. Also grabbed a bag of Doritos to eat with the sandwich, which seemed only fitting being that Brian lures Maurice out of the underworld early on in the film by spreading Doritos out on the floor. So let's put this Little Monsters style meal together and see what it tastes like, shall we?!
Photobucket
Gotta say, this sandwich isn't half bad! As a fan of both peanut butter and onions, I quite enjoyed it, though I'd probably have to tone down the onions next time I make one. Wanted to stay true to Brian's onion heavy recipe, which totally gave me an unexpected cleaning of the sinuses. In fact, I ate the sandwich about halfway through the movie, over an hour ago, and I'm still feeling the effects of it. Will likely reserve future consumptions of this meal for future viewings of Little Monsters, because the joys of eating one would probably be all but gone if you were to eat one without watching the movie. So I guess it's not the best thing ever, but eating one at least once in your life, while watching Little Monsters, is a bucket list goal every monster lover on this planet should have, and should achieve!


With that, it's a goodbye from me here on Guts & Grog. If you haven't had enough of me yet, you can find me over on Freddy In Space, and even more frequently ranting and raving on the Freddy In Space Facebook page!

James DePaolo Throws Down His Top 10 Kiddie Horror Films

James and my mutual love for films such as "The Bunny Game" and "Dear God No!" is what first interested me in checking his writing out. I have since become a fan and check Wicked Channel daily.



I have nieces who range anywhere from 25 years old to great nieces at 10 weeks. Not all horror films are appropriate for them, and as a parent I know most people just have the misconception if it is a horror or scary movie that little kids are not the intended audience. I wanted to come up with a list of films that I have watched with my youngest nieces that I think are scary but yet safe for kids of any age.






Gremlins- While the film does have a PG13 rating, this is still a fun film for kids all ages, where little boys and girls will want you to buy them a Mogwai. The film is fun for the whole family, and many kids may also learn how to properly feed an animal, you never know.






Bettlejuice- I let my 7 year old niece watch this with me and she could not stop laughing at this film. This film is more comedy than horror, and kids will love the character and all the stuff he gets into.





Ghostbusters- This film is a classic, and every kid should at least watch it one time. From the ghosts to the jokes, this film is a sure hit with kids. 



The Wizard of Oz- This film brings out the kid in all of us. Was there anyone truly scarier than the wicked witch of the north? This film should be witnessed by everyone at least once in a lifetime.






Jaws- This one while PG is a little tricky, the film is violent and very graphic and will scare the little ones. While kids ten and above may be the perfect crowd for this film.




Nightmare Before Christmas- Nightmare Before Christmas does not really aim to scare viewers, but the creepy claymation monsters featured in Halloween Town may provide some scares. Some of the original creatures are creepily animated and scenes of Santa's abduction are frightening as well.



Coraline- For pure horror and chills alone, Coraline is by far one of the scarier children's movies. It is PG and suited for kids, but parents may want to watch it as well.


Killer Klowns from Outer Space- Another iffy one, it is PG13 and at times does get a little violent and some language here and there, but this is a fun film that kids would laugh at and have fun with.






Mars Attacks- Another iffy film for kids, while this film as well is in the same realm as Killer Klowns, it is still very fun and kids would laugh and have a good time with.







Twilight Zone-Not the film but the original television shows. It airs on basic cable daily on many channels, if you have a kid who wants to be a horror fan, this would be a safe way to start. I know most families throw their little ones in Saw and Hostel, but this is the right way to start. Discover what true terror and horror really is.

Monsters for Breakfast



 I will start with a quick history.







They started in 1971 with just Count Chocula and Franken Berry. 









In 73 Boo Berry was introduced. What the fuck is a Boo Hooter? Actually, scratch that. I want a Boo Hooter. I don't even care what it is.










In 74 Fruit Brute was introduced. It was discontinued in 83.












In 87 Yummy Mummy took the Brute's place. It was later discontinued in 93.












Today Count Chocula, Boo Berry, and Franken Berry are still sold during the Halloween season.







I was born in 1980. I don't really remember Fruit Brute, and barely remember Yummy Mummy. I wish this was not true, but until Michael J. Fox stops being so shaky about time travel, there is nothing I can do. With that said, the other three have been a staple in my life. As a kid while watching bad ass cartoons I would see commercials for them during "Tales from the Cryptkeeper" or "Scooby Doo."



The shit was my crack. I needed it. That was a continued tradition for years. into the late nineties, I got older and it got harder to find. Lucky for me there was a store that sold items that were discontinued or didn't do well in stores. I pretty much always had good luck finding my favorite monsters there. It was awesome. I was seventeen, skipping school, and hunting for monster cereals. Eat your heart out Winger.




Today, Monster Cereals are just as popular if not more. The main difference is you can only find them around Halloween time. It causes nerds like me to stock up.




- Tromeric








Tromeric can be found sitting in a dark room watching Homeward Bound followed by A Serbian Film.  He found a secret potion called the grog.  It is similar to The Gummi Bears Gummibear Juice but instead of making him bounce from here to everywhere it gives him the ability to endure movies such as Blood Freak and The Room on a regular basis. When he drinks the grog he also has the ability to have more references that you don't understand than Wikipedia.  In the off chance he is taking a break from the grog you can find him drinking coffee from a cup with half of the Black Dahlia pictured on it, eating Count Chocula, and making lists about whether The Taint has a better soundtrack than Voyage of the Rock Aliens. Outside of Guts and Grog he also writes for Couch Cutter.






Critters, Gods, and The Witches



I once lived in a shitty basement on the street of hookers in Yakima, WA with Jeremy Gaulkenstein. This is where our first major horror marathon was born. Forty nine days of horror was a success. Hundreds of movies watched, hundreds of forties drank, cartons of cigarettes smoked, and a gross out war that included me sticking his copy of "Re-Animator" in my scritt(between the balls and the asshole). He reacted by tying a sausage to his sausage and recreating the tranny scene from "Pink Flamingos."



Jeremy has done a drawing inspired by the film based on the Roald Dahl classic "The Witches." Check the trailer below and make sure to click the picture to see it in full size epicness.











Jeremy is a published writer. His books include "What the Master Does Not Speak Of – Poems and Drawings by Jeremy Gaulke" and "The Ghost of Harrison Sheets." He runs Critters and Gods which is an art zine inspired by H. P. Lovecraft. It features black and white and color illustrations depicting life, symbolism, and ritual in a post-Cthulhu world.
