HOUSE OF SCAPULA pt.4
I’d be hard-pressed to choose my favorite monster movie (or monster, for that matter), but one of the lead contenders would have to be The Wolf Man (1941). It’s a near-perfect classic horror film, in my humble opinion, and Lon Chaney Jr was a great (and yet sadly underrated) actor.
Oh Throgor….. ~shakes head~
Cue audience laughter, theme song, “Throgor was brought to you by…”
Exactly. 😀
My back hair grows that fast.
Now THERE’S a horror story.
Hmm, well, Throgor’s moonlight transformation was mild as these things go. Just a shade or two thicker fur and the right taxi door opening. But hey, after all, he’s not far off in broad daylight, eh?
Gotta imagine, we got Drac, Wolfman, and…Igor. Gotta wonder who’ll get the dubious honor of Frankenstein’s Monster, eh?
It’s a shame Scap’s imagination for his dreams doesn’t feed his criminal not-so-genius.
A Throgor by any other amount of hair would still smell as rancid!
Scap’s horror movie dream isn’t nearly as pleasant as that other dream of his we were ‘treated’ to seeing (although probably not as disturbing). But what the hey; if I knew what dreams meant, maybe I could understand my sick little mind.
And Throgor is the moon, arise foul moon!
Here’s hoping that at least he might remember enough for some more ‘idea diarrhoea’ (though considering his nasty junk milkshake habit I don’t rule out the other kind either).
Good Lord, when Scap blurted out “creative diarrhea” I didn’t think it would catch on!
Hmmm…maybe I should slap that phrase on some Etsy stuff…
Love his fiendish transformation! I can tell that you are really having fun with this storyline and so are we, A.
And I hope things are going hunky-dory for you at the APE this weekend. .
APE was great (Nic Caesar sends you his regards…you two creeps deserve each other!), and a full recap will be posted on next Sunday’s update!
All these cute little blood filled vignettes. Too cute! Love the last panel, Aidan.
You just made me realize how extra-violent this particular storyline is: we’ve had the deaths of a jail guard, the burgomeister, Hypnausea/Dracula, and now Dr. Jeraukov, Inspector Farley and an entire mental ward staff. Well, I guess any Halloween story needs a little murderous spicing!
Best transformation ever! How on earth did you ever come up with such a drastic departure from design?!
And most amusingly, the good Doctor betting mauled to death made me chuckle. Roll that in your degree and smoke it! Hehehehehehehehehehe.
What can I say, I like old Throggy. And he DID warn them! This story is great. Old monsters and Scapula characters mesh SO well!
It wasn’t easy, let me tell you! Jack Pierce spent an entire twelve hours pain-stakingly applying yak hair and make-up to Throgor, while the latter sat immobile until he got fed up and devoured half the stage crew. That’s show biz!
I’m glad to hear everyone is getting a kick out of this storyline, because, as you can tell, I’m also having a blast.
If only she’d had a rolled-up newspaper in with the lobotomy saws…
Perhaps a rolled-up silver newspaper? Or a silver leash and a silver collar? Or…well, you get the idea.
And Throgor has no concern for those who have to clean up after him either… what a MONSTER!
There are so many monster movies that you can imagine would be a lot more horrifying if the monsters were crapping as much as real animals. Alien? Gremlins? Mothra?
I believe the worst would have to be Rodan. he’s basically a giant prehistoric pidgeon.
That would be the mother of all windshield splatters!
Oh, Dada… I love these monster movie stories. Well done. Snausage anyone?
Now remember, Brig: if you feed your werewolf table scraps he wont go back to his regular kibble!
Speaking of Dada, this longtime reader/first-time poster would love to request another Dadaman arc!
I LOVE Dadaman. I love him the best of all your characters and villains because he’s not really evil – he’s insane, which is infinitely more interesting. And the way you write him makes me completely crack up!
Egad, Dadaman has fans?! Man, this world really is going crazy!
Currently my story queue doesn’t have our favorite anarchistic loony lined up, but the great thing about Dadaman stories is that they can be made up on the fly and inserted anywhere. Who knows, maybe we’ll see him sooner than we think (‘we’ including me…hey, I created the character and even I can’t understand him!).
Even a monster who is impure in heart and lifts his leg by night, may become a hairier, more agitated version of himself when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright. Har! Har!
Maria Ouspenskaya would have never have chanted something that clever! Good one, Mark!
Hilarious “transformation”!! Yes, I’m putting that in ‘scare quotes.’
😉
Hey, scare quotes make everything more intense! Like the man who had his boss for dinner, or the man who had his boss for “dinner”?
Is it me, or that Larry Throgor wasn’t transformed at all ?
He looked from begin as an ugly beast, with sharp teeth, and a rotten attitude.
I concur with the doctor “total crap”.
What can I say? You either get the joke or you don’t!
But mehdi, can’t you tell that Larry got (ever-so-slightly) shaggier and more unkempt???
;P
dear lord he’s hidious!… what? the moon is behind some clouds right now?….. well…*cough*
The moon does make it worse: it shines more light upon him, so you can see his butt-ugly features!
Yoip is my new favorite word.
I usually use “meep” in this sort of scenario, but thought I’d shake things up a bit.
