SCREAMING AT LITTLE MONSTERS

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.

Other than that, be sure to catch up on Screaming Soup! Seasons 1-2 after watching the latest Season 3 episodes, check out this week’s Howl’n Hottie, read recent reviews for the newer horror films we’re watching in our R-Rated Reviews blog, and help us get the word out about the web’s #1 animated horror host show!

We’ll see ya later, Scream Freaks!

SCREAMING AT ANOTHER BLOG ENTRY!

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!

Other than that, be sure to catch up on Screaming Soup! Seasons 1-2 after watching the latest Season 3 episodes, check out this week’s Howl’n Hottie, read recent reviews for the newer horror films we’re watching in our R-Rated Reviews blog, and help us get the word out about the web’s #1 animated horror host show!

We’ll see ya later, Scream Freaks!
