An excerpt from Jingle Jangle Comics; I would really like to be a fly on the wall for the creation of these panels. Something definitely not possible with mere descriptions or words. Pure comic poetry.

Back to the grind

Nice boots.

Old School Movie Poster Explosion!

This to me the epitome of Halloween, it's history, and the mood it brings: the other, the unknown, the feeling of being different. To be scary, thrilling, fantastical, sexy, garish and abso-ludicrous (to borrow an expression from Mr. T). I'll leave you to figure out which poster represents which.

Happy Halloween everybody!

Nosferatu Beckons

An appetizer of the meal ahead. But what an appetizer! This film is probably one of the most beautiful shots from one of the most beautiful films in history , Werner Herzog's Nosferatu(1979). It technically is a remake, but it probably the only one ever with a film history purpose: to bridge the pre and post Nazi infiltrated German cinema. Just a great film.

Stars Klaus Kinski as Count Dracula,
Isabelle Adjani as Lucy Harker (his victim and lover)
and --not pictured--
Bruno Ganz as Jonathan Harker
Roland Topor* as Reinfeld

* who co-wrote Fantastic Planet(!)

Turtles

This seriously one of my favorite images ever. Well done, Will Hulsey

Fearsome Finlay

Virgil Finlay illustration for the may 1938 issue of Weird Tales, based a on a story by Robert E. Howard(the creator of Conan the Barbarian). Certainly a good example of the horror illustrations present before --and influencing-- EC Comics.

Some fanciful fun from Don Martin

Always a festive time with this famous Mad Magazine artist.
