I never owned any of the Don Post rubber monster masks of yore, but they are some of the most beloved memorabilia to classic horror fans (along with the Aurora model kits, Famous Monsters of Filmland magazines, and welfare checks because you blew all your money on monster stuff!).
Ten seconds into the briefing and we already have a “Mr. Pink” situation. I eagerly await the imminent Reservoir Dogs-esque implosion.
You probably already know abut this, but since Famous Monsters of Filmland was already brought up, the Internet Archive now has a Warren Publishing collection, including FMoF and Vampirella: https://archive.org/details/warrenpublishing
Whoops, my mistake: Famous Monsters isn’t in the archive. But Creepy, Eerie, and The Spirit Magazine are.
Scapula would be pretty interesting if he was voiced by Lawrence Tierney (then again, most any cartoon character would be). I wouldn’t mind offering Tierney the chance to voice an animated SCAPULA series, except he would probably bash my face in, run me over in a truck, and then shoot me (he’s a tad…eccentric).
I’ll have to rummage through those on-line archives (I noticed a few were empty), but it’s good to know people can share stuff that’s been out-of-print (or extremely overpriced)!
Yes, the category folders could use some TLC. Your best bet is to just click on the “all items” link underneath and browse through.
I want the mask of Lon Chaney playing Boris Karloff
Oh, you mean in that one movie where Chaney played Karloff disguised as Lugosi masquerading as Vincent Price wearing a Godzilla suit?
I wanna be Mr. Black.
The guy who ran Kamp Krusty? Oh, wait, we’re going back to Reservoir Dogs.
“How come I gotta be Mr. Pink?”
“Cuz yer a faggot!”
Oh Scap. When will you learn that an empowered underling is a happy underling?
Scap probably feels that making anyone happy is a bad idea. You can tell he’ll be thrilled when Christmas rolls around!
And in actual fact faceless mooks are way more efficient than mooks with preservation instincts. See: US army.
“And you will be assigned a code-name. If you do not like your code-name, you may bring that up at the next department mixer.”
Today’s feature is hilarious. I can just imagine the HR Dept.
The H.R. department is something you should avoid in this organization, since this H.R. stands for “Hypnausea raping”.
It’s a plan. It’s not the greatest plan, true, but having a mook squad is a PLAN. That’s better than usual!
If nothing else, he’s got others to take some punishment for him (unless, of course, if they turn on him).
That’s stupider than “Phoenix Dark… Dirk…”
“Phoenix Dark”…? Wasn’t he the real-life superhero in Seattle who got arrested?
Ha… It’s Mr. Furious’s “real name” that he gives in that action-comedy classic, Mystery Men. Love that film! Eddie Izzard is Tony P.
