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!

Groovy Universal Monster Series by Shag

Even monsters have down time... and back in the day the Universal Classic monsters had the fame and money to make that down time lots of fun. So Madmohawk over at the Fashion & Action blog posted these awesome prints by the fantastic artist named Shag who captures the life and times of these cooky monsters in  the swingin' 60s! This is a great re-imagining of these characters in a much lighter note than they usually appear. Shag killed this one...

Hi-C Horror from The Holidaze Blog

The gang over at the Holidaze Blog have been having a great time mocking up Hi-C juice boxes with a horror character theme for the Halloween season. They have had series 1 and series 2 in the past, and now we have series 3 to satisfy our horrific thirst! These are really cool, and I do enjoy the cleverness of the names of the particular juices and how they relate to the specific characters assigned to them. A great way to enjoy this wonderful Halloween with a nod back to the days of the brown bag lunch. Check them all out after the jump, the Wolfman Water is my fave by a long shot!

Their most recent collaboration is a with one of our faves, Tom Whalen, and the subject of the collaboration is the classic Universal Monsters.

Phil Postma Is Starting A Mad Monster Party & Your Invited!!!!!

Brother Postma is back with a further demonstration of his enormous talent and imagination. He has taken the classic Mad Monster Party characters and returned them to their monster movie roots. I have long championed his work because he needs to be working in Hollywood doing design work. There is no style of animation that he cannot take and make better.

El Lucha Monstruo By Justin Erickson

I see a lot of cool stuff online in my travels, but only choose the finest cuts to share with my own followers and of course the great people over here at CCD. Nothing was more fun to discover this week than these Universal classic monster done up as Mexican wrestlers. This is the kind of wrestling that I love the most - I have a weakness for the masks and the spirit of the Luchador. Click after the jump to see them all...
