Howdy there, Scream Freaks! Wanted to give y’all a shout out ’cause another week’s ’bout to slip by, and we don’t want ya thinkin’ we’ve forgotten ’bout ya with the recent boom of killer shark movies, Full Moon comic releases, and Puppet Master reboots bombardin’ us lately.
Speakin’ of which, many of ya have been askin’ for us to do a review of the newest Puppet Master flick since we reviewed every movie and comic of theirs so far, and we did just that. We didn’t have enough time to stop everythin’ and produce a full fledge video review, but we did publish the followin’ snack size review in our weekly R-Rated Review blog:
PUPPET MASTER: THE LITTLEST REICH (2018)
Decades after a Nazi toymaker named Toulon is gunned down by police for dealin’ in killer puppets and torture, fans of the macabre meet at a hotel convention to buy and sell the remainin’ puppets from his infamous collection. Before anyone can put in the first bid, however, Toulon speaks to his creations from the grave and commands them to kill anyone offendin’ the Third Reich’s sensibilities. Since the Puppet Master series has been stuck in World War II their last three movies, I can only guess this rowdy gang of Texan filmmakers got fed up and took it upon themselves to throw cash at Full Moon Empire for the right to reboot their favorite mascots for more modern mayhem. That said, I don’t mind the changes made to shake things up. Toulon’s and the puppets are just straight up evil with Toulon lookin’ like a cooked weenie, there’s no elixir, the puppets are mass produced with several versions of familiar faces in addition to a small army of new characters, and the gore is as over the top as the promos promise (though roughly executed at times). The biggest sour I have with this flick is its performances and editin’ which only musters as much energy as a Zoloft commercial, robbin’ this thing of any fun. And don’t expect the puppets to display any individual characteristics in this, ’cause they’re strictly home built weapons instead of reincarnated spirits of folks Toulon knew. Decapitations, impalements, stabbin’s, magic Nazi zombies, fatal freefalls, throats slittin’, disembowelment, inside out abortions through the vagina, fatties pissin’ on their own heads in the toilet, handful of boobs, folks drilled, arm rippin’, puppet smashin’, shoot outs, head crushin’, flyin’ puppets, murder house tours, human matchsticks, wall smashin’, baby doll Hitlers, human meat puppets, bloodbaths, rub-a-dub deaths, fast romances, truck rammin’, and Barbara Crampton sticks ’round most the movie as a bad ass cop! 3/5!
In other news, we got our claws on the first issue of Dollman Kills the Full Moon Universe featurin’ artwork by yours ghoully, and looks damn good if we say so ourselves. It feels wild to see our work in mass print from such a famous movie studio as Full Moon Empire and can’t wait to pick up the followin’ issues with more of our parody ad work, and issue three will even have an alternate cover by us! And speakin’ of comics, we mentioned a while back we had interest in producin’ a four part prequel comic to Screaming Soup! and that’s still in the works. We just finished roughin’ the blueprints for all four issues and ready to start the next step of actually drawin’ these crazy packed funny books of your favorite animated horror host. It may take a while given our team’s animatin’ the show at the same time, but we’re makin’ sure it’ll be worth the wait.
Right now, we’ve got our undivided attention back on completin’ our apocalyptic goat opera that’s currently season five. This next excitin’ episode will bring you more characters, bad guys, monsters, and we may even lose some of the cast as the Howl-Inn gang sets out to rescue Billy from becomin’ doomsday shish kabob. It’s sure to be one to remember and a real turnin’ point for what to expect the rest of this season as the show literally goes to hell.
Other than that, be sure to catch up on all past Screaming Soup! Seasons, check out this week’s Howl’n Hottie, read recent reviews for the newer horror films and comics we’re checkin’ out in our blogs, R-Rated Reviews and Sequential Slime, and help us get the word out about the web’s #1 animated horror host show!

Warm up some Screaming Soup! leftovers with reruns currently playin’ on Beta Max TV and Sluggo’s The Vortexx!
Howdy there, Scream Freaks! Woo-doggy, we’ve had some fireworks ‘roud here, and it’s far from over as the epic battle between your favorite independent film companies continues. T####’s pissed at Screaming Soup!, Full Moon’s up to some secret means of escapin’ the Crosslands, and all hell’s breakin’ loose as Gingerdead Man instigates a bar brawl between Killjoy and some Cretins that can tip the delicate truce back into full scale war! Things have been so hectic, we didn’t even have time to touch base with you folks last week!
To catch you up on what’s been goin’ on lately, we still have a lot of irons in the fire as this season draws closer to bein’ wrapped up. We’re poised for our 5th apocalyptic season we’re excited to get started on, preppin’ Season 6 well in advance, and doin’ our best to catch up the secondary vids we promised like Graphic Violence and Re-Animated Reviews. We want to review the Toxic Crusaders cartoon and tell y’all about all the comics based on Toxie, Puppet Master, and Re-Animator. The scripts have been written, and the comics have been scanned for those, but we’re in the thick of editin’ the last 20 reviews together which is gonna have to delay those a little longer. With a big honcho like Full Moon involved this season, you’ll understand why we’re puttin’ all our energy into these episodes for the time bein’!
We’re also busy spreadin’ the word about our show to help grow our fanbase. We’re reachin’ out to other streamin’ services needin’ programs, applyin’ for panel discussions at Big Fandom again, and contactin’ popular horror publications that might want to write an article about the world’s first fully animated horror host show. In addition, we’re plannin’ certain crossovers that won’t interrupt our production schedule and have a couple lined up with the Horror Addicts. As of now, our favorite ghost girlfriend Mandy is supposed to make a guest appearance on B. Gory’s “Ghoul’s Night Out” livestream this month, and Deadwest and Billy will be in a crossover review with Danny Knightmare talkin’ ’bout Full Moon’s Goobers sometime in October. Promises to be fun, and we’ll keep you up to date on those as they happen. And we’re excited to announce we’ll be featurin’ Pretty Weird Art’s Death Elf and Woose in some episodes next season. We interviewed the creators behind this cool independent comic a couple years back in our Graphic Headstone blog and are thrilled to have the chance to bring their creations to life like we did with Michael Gordon’s Tiki Zombie in our Pinata Survivor Island review!
And before we go, just a heads up to you regulars that we dumped a lot of new reviews into the R-Rated Review blog and finally updated the Sequential Slime blog with new comic we recently picked up. And in case you missed it, we’ve got some new Screaming Soup! art in the gallery that’s showcased below.

Warm up some Screaming Soup! leftovers with reruns scheduled to play on Sluggo’s The Vortexx (after 9PM EST Sunday and Wednesday nights)!
If you need the hook-up with instant Troma and Full Moon movies, we’d suggest watching Troma’s films for free on their Youtube channel, and you can get full access to Full Moon’s catalog of work from their movies to their Videozone clips at Full Moon Streaming and their Amazon channel.
Howdy there, Scream Freaks! Comin’ to the end of 2017’s first week, and we’re eagerly warmin’ up for this season of Screaming Soup! as our favorite indie film companies Full Moon Features and Troma Entertainment go head to head in an all out animated brawl that’s sure to entertain!
Our first Howl’n Hottie of the Week for 2017 is Jacqueline Lovell from Full Moon’s Killer Eye, we’re watchin’ some more Troma flicks on their official Youtube channel for some new R-Rated Reviews, and startin’ to leak some sneak peeks through our social media of the what some of your favorite characters will look like animated! Even better is Full Moon’s involvement which will include some cameos by the emperor himself, Charles Band!
There’s so much goin’ on and so much to do, we’re still thinkin’ there won’t be any time for the secondary vids we normally produce in addition to the regular season, but we’re hopin’ to catch up by mid-season so we can get in a Re-Animated Review of the Toxic Crusaders cartoon and a Graphic Violence review of the Puppet Master comics. Can’t guarantee anything just yet, but we’re tryin’!
Since we’re still puttin’ together some of the episodes for this upcomin’ season, give us a scream and let us know which of your Full Moon and Troma characters you really want to see in these episodes. You might be surprised who we already have planned and even learn about others from movies you never knew existed!
Other than that, be sure to watch our epic Season 3 finale with our review of the Basket Case trilogy that has a snippet of Full Moon vs Troma action in it, catch up on all past Screaming Soup!

If you wanna get a jumpstart on everything there is to know about Troma or Full Moon before then, I’d suggest watching most of Troma’s films for free on their Youtube channel, and you can get full access to Full Moon’s catalog of work from their movies to their Videozone clips at Full Moon Streaming.
Howdy there, Scream Freaks! It’s Wednesday and that means fresh print just got dumped on the comic racks! If you follow our Sequential Slime blog, you’re already aware of what we’ve been reading and consider the best horror movie related funny books out there right now. We’re still on the fence with the Army of Darkness books, love the Puppet Master comics,and still can’t get over Kurt Russell’s curtain call from comics with the sudden cancelation of Escape From New York and the end of Big Trouble in Little China’s run! But we’re happier than coyotes in a henhouse about the announced crossover between Snake Plissken and Jack Burton!
Anyway, it’s time for another Graphic Violence review, and this time around we picked another lesser known run of licensed rag reads, focusing on the 6 issue mini-series of Little Monsters from NOW comics. Released on the heels of Beetlejuice, Little Monsters is a cult film that’s about a boy named Brian who captures and befriends a monster under his bed named Maurice who introduces Brian to a fantasy world of monsters and magic under the beds of the world. It’s hard to believe this beloved 80s flick isn’t bigger than it is being when it’s so ripe for translating into a successful kids cartoon, but it was simply overlooked for one reason or another.
Lucky for the fans, however, there was one attempt at continuing the adventures of Brian and Maurice, and that was the handful of comics published by NOW comics a few short months after the film’s release in theaters. These comics are alright for the most part, but you’ll need to watch the vid below to get the full run down on what all we liked and despised about them.

Howdy there, Scream Freaks! This summer’s truly flyin’ by our sunburnt mugs, but that’s okay, ’cause it means Halloween’s just around the corner! Still a ways off, we know, but we’ve been busting our tailbones to get things shaking around here in time for the most ass kicking shindig of the year.
We’ve already got production underway for Screaming Soup! Season 4 which is easily proving to be the biggest undertaking of our show, and might just blow the horror community up with all the excitement we hope it’ll generate. Don’t want to say too much more about that surprise yet, but all will be revealed in our Halloween episode 10/20/16. We’re also working on fixing our website’s background layout for those few fans experiencing issues, and we’re looking into setting up some donation links through Youtube and Patreon.
The reason we’re looking at receiving donations is because there are a lot of things we wanna see done with our show and characters but are either spread thin workwise or simply lack the revenue to see some things happen. We’ve got plenty of ideas for trading cards, comics, game apps, a convention booth for appearances, etc., but animation takes so much time it’s almost impossible to complete it all as quickly as we’d like to see it done. With donations, however, we can support other artists and commission a lot of that kind of work and get more Screaming Soup! merch in your hands and quickly. Just need to get that up and running, and see where it goes from there!
Heads up next week, because we’ll be posting our next entry in the Graphic Violence review series 8/10/16 and will be taking a look back at the Little Monsters movie and its 6 issue mini-series from Now Comics. Sure to be informative and fun all at the same time!

Howdy there, Scream Freaks! Sorry for not checking in last week, but we’ve been busier than an oil boy at a Hawaiian Tropics competition. Despite our hardships, however, we don’t believe in excuses around here. We know you want results. You want R-Rated Reviews. You want Sequential Slime updates. You want this week’s Howl’n Hottie. You want NEW videos commentin’ on all yer favorite horror movies just so you can tell your fellow gore geeks, “See! He agrees with me!”
Well this week we’re tossing one of our secondary videos your way with a new Graphic Violence review. Child’s Play comics have been popping up every now and again under the radar for the last couple of decades, and it’s almost a shame. Besides movie adaptations, the majority of these comics were new adventures for the little psycho ginger with fresh kill counts, plot developments, and crossovers. I could tell ya more, but then why did I make the video? Just click it below and decide for yourself if my opinion is worth checking out some old comics that sometimes weren’t worthy of the name Chucky!

Howdy there, Scream Freaks and Happy Early Halloween w/ our season 2 finale! It’s been an amazing season this year, and we’re wrapping it up with a half hour Mega review of the classic Slumber Party Massacre series from Roger Corman! Mecha-bull riding, bobbing for grenades, hottie contest, pumpkin carving . . . we blow this party out like none other!
Everyone from seasons past are invited and even some new lovely faces make an appearance, but we’re most stoked about the special guests of the night, the Ghouligans! Despite their recent retirement from the horror entertainment business after 10 years, they were cool enough to dust off the fangs and capes to humble us with a cameo that’s like no other Ghouligans performance seen before (because its animated, duh). We’re happy to have connected with this stellar group and hope to work together again in the near future. Despite them closing up shop, you can still dig up their work for some howling entertainment at their website and/or Youtube channel!
Now, just because we won’t be back with more Screaming Soup! episodes until Jan’16, doesn’t mean this site will be abandoned till then. We’ll actually be spending the off season adding more cool interviews with hot artists to our Graphic Headstone blog and giving you more updates on what to expect in the upcoming season 3!
Other than that, keep checking back here every day for more “Bruce Campbell VS” and “Mandy’s I Can’t Believe They Have Pumpkin,” which will continue through Halloween, send someone special a Halloween Eeeh!-Card this holiday, see the latest screen shots added to the gallery from this episode, and be sure to catch up on all the latest Screaming Soup! episodes before starting Season 3 this coming January.

Howdy there, Scream Freaks! It ain’t even Halloween yet, and we already have a treat for you wicked folks out there. Looking at the calendar, its due time for us to review more horror comics in another insightful Graphic Violence video, and this time we set our sights on the one and only Saw comic published by IDW in 2005. Given the success of this franchise that ruled Halloween for most of the 2000’s, I’m surprised this didn’t have more of a splash in the comic world with one shots or spin-off mini-series. Hell, Leprechaun got several issues during its brief stint into comics and which is more deserving of the two? So, if you’re a fan of the Saw movies as well as a collector of all things Jigsaw, give the review below a look and see if this is something you just gotta have!

That’s pretty much it for now, so I’ll see ya’ later Scream Freaks!
Howdy there, Scream Freaks! You know, sometimes these weekly updates are hard to do, because we work on future episodes so far in advance and don’t want to prematurely tip our hand to what’s coming just yet. The secondary vids, however, are pretty much being produced in the “now” and can sometimes feel rushed when we know it’s time for a new Graphic Violence or Remake Remix to be posted.
With October coming up, we wanted to do something fun for us to produce and for you to watch (obviously, because who are we without you?). With all the excitement over the premier of the new Evil Dead TV series Halloween night, Screaming Soup! has decided to dedicate the site to everything Bruce Campbell! We’ve had little to some minor success with our series of “Bruce Campbell Takes It In The Face” vids that spotlight all the gooey low blows Bruce takes on the chin in his movies, but these new vids will be less demeaning and should really register with the fans. We’ve been up all hours of the day, hurrying to pull together a daily visual celebration of not just a single movie or cult favorite franchise but the entirety of Bruce’s career from his Super 8 days to now. It’s been a tiring marathon to get all these done while trying to stay on track with Screaming Soup!’s animation schedule, but it’s going to be worth it and you won’t be disappointed!

Howdy there, Scream Freaks! The summer has certainly blown right past us, and Halloween is just on the horizon. Yessir, before you know it, we’ll be seeing tombstones in people’s yards, ghosts in our windows, and truckloads of candy and shitty costumes in the stores! Let’s keep our fingers crossed we’ll be getting some great new horror to entertain us this October which sounds a little lacking so far. Rest assured we’re hard at work pulling together a new series of funny vids to pump out through most of October that’ll tie into our countdown to the highly anticipated “Ash VS Evil Dead” on the Starz network. You could call it our month long shout out to Bruce Campbell and it’ll be one you want to check out when its time.
Other than that, everything is going well with the show. We’re putting the final touches on some upcoming episodes we’re excited to show featuring the return of (bum, bum, buuuuuuummmm) Buzzkill, currently editing the next Graphic Violence vid for 9/10/15, and on track for preparing Screaming Soup! Season 3 for release in Jan’16. Some really great things are coming, and we’re glad you loyal fans are here to see it!
