GIANT ATTACK MONSTERS MEGA-BATTLE! pg9
Did we make our goal to fund Scapula and the Sinister Monster Doom Legion? See for yourself.
The Pleasureliens are parodies on any number of “sexy alien” movies like Zeta One or Barbarella (the High Commander’s headgear was also slightly inspired by Rita Replusa from the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers franchise).
The psychedelic spacey-art coming out of the portal is an homage to Steve Ditko.
…this is gonna bite them where the sun doesn’t shine, won’t it.
“Where the Sun Doesn’t Shine” was the title of my book of goth poetry; I never understood why everyone would laugh hysterically at the title until much later (that said, the New York Times still gave it a good review).
“We call it the Obvious Trap Dimension.”
“Whatever. Let ’em through.”
We all know that a man’s wiener will lead him straight off a cliff into a lava-filled gorge of demons and banshees if there’s even the remotest possibility of feeling a boob.
Oh yeah, this won’t go bad.
As long as you keep it refrigerated in an airtight tupperware container.
This wont end well. At all.
“Who cares, as long as it ends soon! D’ooohhh ho ho ho ho!”
That comment was brought to you by Statler and Waldorf (trolling long before it was cool!).
the art of trolling has been around a lot longer than the internet. I have an uncle who trolled deer abby.
This is precisely the point at which every “R” rated horror flick ever has taken the time to insert the obligatory pair of breasts to earn the rating while also introducing the disastrous turn of events that defines the film.
I don’t think breasts seem to affect a film’s rating much nowadays; I’m not an expert at film censorship or whatever, but it seems like you can get away with waaaaay more now and still get a PG rating. Someone may get offended and protest, but we all know that’s the best P.R. you can get!
I’m going to pretend that it’s only going to go sour not because of malicious intent, but more of a Hellraiser-esque misunderstanding of what ‘pleasure’ means. Because I mean, who would shoot for the OBVIOUS way this is going to go south? lol!
Seriously though, nothing good will come from this, and Scapula should know better than most thanks to his horror movie addiction. When you find the door to ‘Dimension Suckerbait’ you SLAM that sucker and weld it shut! But good ideas make for poor stories…….
It’s odd, but I never got into the Hellraiser series or even recall watching one of them. I guess it’s a matter of personal taste, or maybe 80’s horror films still rank as the scariest cinema of all time (seriously!), but I just never got into them. Again, not knocking ’em in the slightest (if anything I’m praising them for being too scary for me to handle!).
As for what MY horror tastes are, well…you’ll see it all when Scapula and the Sinister Monster Doom Legion is out!
They say that in the original Hellraiser you can actually see where they ran out of money.
Lol, sort of yes. Although the actors do cover it well!
I’m just imagining what it would be like to see today’s CGI-fest movies suddenly run out of money in the middle of the film; the screen suddenly goes green and a bunch of awkward actors covered in ping pong balls frantically hop around.
Makes one wish Rhythm & Hues went bankrupt DURING Life of Pi instead of AFTER it was finished…
That would have been interesting! Although I’d have settled for ‘before’…. I have a long history of enjoying slow, story heavy movies and that one gave me headaches.
Oh, I dig it. Hellraiser and Hellraiser 2 are outright DISTURBING. I have a high tolerance for that stuff and I still have trouble with them at points (the 3rd on, not so much…..). But I’m a sucker for a charismatic villain monster, like Doug Bradley’s Pinhead or the late lamented Angus Scrimm’s Tall Man from the Phantasm series. And of course 90% of the classic monster flicks had them! Ah, for the days of interesting villains……
It’s possible that Scap recognizes the trap since he isn’t screaming for the door to be opened and is just enjoying the show.
Not that that’ll help him much when his cohorts demand the portal open.
I’m still wondering why the default setting seems to be ‘The Inside of Dr. Strange’s Cape Dimension’, but hey, I didn’t build the thing. Seriously though, I can’t look at that second panel without flashing back to my old comics.
I love panel 4… and … DO IT! JUST DO IT!
