The CCD Podcast: Episode #27 - A Selection of Universal Horror or "That Is Not My Mummy... It's My Daddy!!!"

With our upcoming Universal Horror themed art show right around the corner (Sat, Oct 25th at the Irish Haven in Brooklyn) Jedi Rob decided to sit on down with the guy who got him involved in horror at a very young age... his dad. They discuss the 15 movies that we here at CCD selected for the art show, and Poppa Martin's extensive knowledge of all things Black & White horror is quite impressive and on display with his young padawan. Just a father and a son talking classic horror flicks... what could be better than that??? Make sure you head over to Itunes and Subcribe, Download, Listen and SHARE the CCD podcast with all your friends on your favorite social media platform!

The Frankenstein Files

We can always count on our buddy Cal to bring us some awesome images no matter the topic... but when it comes to Halloween it seems his image stash is even more plentiful. This particular post focuses on the big lug of Halloween... Frankenstein's Monster. I always loved him, all the versions that we have seen. Whether it be the lumbering, unintelligent version who moaned through the Universal classics or the highly intelligent versions like Johnny Lee Miller payed on the English stage directed by Danny Boyle (thanks for that ticket Jeff Bond... still one of the greatest things I have ever seen!). Check out the pics after the jump....

  

Updated Portraits by Fab Ciraolo

Fab Ciraolo has a very unique style to his art. It is batshit crazy... and that is what makes it so fantastic. Fab takes very familiar characters (some real life people, some fictional) and portrays them in a different light. A light that may not be what you expect. When I think Beetlejuice I think a black and white striped suit. He Man, bearskin draws and his chest straps jump into my head. Marilyn Monroe is always in a puffy dress in my head. Mother Teresa is always in a habit... But not in the world of Fab Ciraolo. here, Frankenstien is a part animal club kid. Marilyn & Mother Teresa are hipster chicks with tats. Beetlejuice channels his inner James Dean. He-Man is an avid golfer. These are so great. There are tons of his works available for you to see on his website (click here and see it all!), and see some of my faves after the jump...

Cal sure does know how to find some great images when he puts his mind towards something. he makes the Internet his bitch and comes up with the best images on a topic that a person could right click and save as. Today he is highlighting Monsters of the Movies model kits from back in the day. These are so dope and bring back a lot of memories. Enjoy the images after the jump...
