A Snapshot From Vanth

A rare aboveground picture of a Wooky Lich, Undead Scions of Forgotten Icful. This was taken amongst the blasted landscape of the Forbidden Wastes. Their bone white fur clings to them as they glide through the Wooky Necropolises keeping a constant watch on their sleeping brethern. Although the Wookie Liches seem wizened and dessicated, they can still rip a klengon apart limb from limb. The Tomb Robber Guilds have tried to have them exterminated, but no one has collected any reward as of yet.

Filmation Friday: He-Man Meets Hannibal and...Blackbeard?

Here's Blackbeard the Pirate

and Hannibal of Carthage

from "Castle of Heroes", an episode of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. This episode is a truly bizarre one. An old friend of Skeletor wants to add He-Man to his army of powerful and/or evil warriors from throughout the universe. I get Hannibal from the elephant, but Blackbeard in the lavender armor and polarized lenses is kinda weird. In fact, the entire episode watches like an adventure for Tom Moldvay's Lords of Creation that got animated.

Oh what the hey, check out the episode:

The Coolest TV Show Theme You've Never Heard

From the late night programming of the local evangelical christian channel I give one of my favorite TV show theme songs: the opening theme to the Pagan Invasion!



According to the makers of the Pagan Invasion this show:

Examines paganism in subjects as diverse as Halloween, evolution, medication,world religions (belief men will be Gods), Satanism.

It's as fun as it sounds.

Inspiration Time: Khurasan Miniatures

I don't paint or craft miniatures, but Khurasan Miniatures puts out some of the sharpest 15mm to 28mm miniatures out there. They are visually inspiring, and the background fluff they provide is entertaining too. Check out the fine miniatures of Khurasan here.

The monstrous Great Ba-He-Mot

The Khurasan Miniatures blog has previews of upcomind releases and some excellent background for their various figure lines.

Happy Birthday Vincent Price!

One of my favorite horror movie actors was Vincent Price. His sardonic charm graced my childhood from the Roger Corman Poe films to Baka from The Ten Commandments to Vincent Van Ghoul from The 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo. Today/Yesterday would have been his 100th birthday.

Here are some of my favorite Vincent Price characters:


Dr. Anton Phibes


Matthew Hopkins, the Witchfunder General


Vincent Van Ghoul

Prince Prospero


The incredibly creepy Baka the Master Builder



Dr Erasmus Craven

Happy Birthday Christopher Lee!

Happy Birthday to one those celebrities I always wanted to meet, Sir Christopher Lee. He's fun even in crappy movies. Hell, he was in Howling II Your Sister Is A Werewolf. Sir Christopher always lent a touch of class to any endeavor, and his voice kind of scared me as a kid. His Hammer Films were part of my childhood as devoured all of the classic horror I could.

One of my guilty Christopher Lee movies is Horror Express also starring Peter Cushing and Telly Savalas. Enjoy.

Filmation Friday: Take Him To Ming!

IMHO one of the coolest robot designs Filmation ever did: Ming's robot warriors the Metal Men from the The New Adventures of Flash Gordon.

Bonus! Ming's Metal Men from a Flash Gordon coloring book.
