Alpha Madness!!

Thought I'd post this cover from an upcoming DVD from the fine folks at Alpha Video. One thing you can always count on with Alpha - they always have terrific covers! Don't know much about THE MENACE WITH 5 ARMS or its companion movie, CURSE OF THE INSECT WOMAN, but they look like great schlocky b-movie fun! Available soon from Alpha Video!!

 

Would make a great companion piece to this other Alpha DVD -

ATTACK OF THE OCTOPUS PEOPLE!!

 

 

 

 

AND while we're on the subject - don't forget to pick up a copy of another great Alpha product with a terrific cover - THE DREADFULL HALLOWGREEN SPECIAL - starring everyone's favorite Mad scientist, yours ghouly, teaming up with the one and only Penny Dreadful to save Halloween!

Rue Morgue Magazine #103 Horror Hosts spotlight

The August 2010 Issue of Rue Morgue Magazine (#103) featured an article on TV horror host Count Gore DeVol. Count Gore, played by actor Dick Dyszel, is one of the legends in the field - he has been hosting movies off and on since the 1970s. He currently hosts a weekly web program at http://www.countgore.com/.

Gore was, interestingly enough, the very first horror host I came in contact with when I began my show back in the late 90s. I had no idea there was anyone else doing this at the time, and Gore discovered me through the internet. We met in person a few months later and a struck up a friendship from that point on.

Along with the Count Gore article Rue Morgue also ran a page that spotlighted 6 of the top hosts working in the field today, besides Count Gore of course. I am proud to have been included in this bunch, and was glad to see my Dreadful HallowGreen cohort Penny Dreadful in there as well! Click to enlarge and read...

The Dreadful HallowGreen Special

This year for Halloween I'm proud to announce a special Halloween crossover event with New England's finest horror host, that wicked witch herself, Penny Dreadful. The Eerie Enchantress and Physician of Fright teamed up for an all new half-hour special called The Dreadful HallowGreen Special - Dr Gangrene and Penny Dreadful save Halloween.

It's science and sorcery combined to save the holiday of halloween in this all-new half-hour event.

Penny Dreadful and Dr. Gangrene Scare In New Halloween TV Special

For Immediate Release:Horror Hosts Collaborate For Hex-Cellent Halloween TV Special (10.05.10)

Hallowed horror hosts Penny Dreadful and Dr. Gangrene are teaming up to save Halloween in an all new half hour television special entitled “The Dreadful HallowGreen Special” premiering in October on stations around the country.

From his secret hidden laboratory on the mysterious Shackle Island Dr. Gangrene issued the following quote, “Penny Dreadful is a tremendous talent and her show is a really first rate program. Despite the fact she dabbles in such an unscientific area of study, it was my pleasure to collaborate with Penny on this Halloween special, combining science and magic to save the greatest holiday of all, Halloween! Now that’s what I call a mad monster party!”

The duo finds themselves readying for the upcoming Halloween season when suddenly all things go awry. It’s up to the physician of fright, Dr. Gangrene, and the eerie enchantress, Penny Dreadful, to set things right and save Halloween for everyone in a brand new television special.

While sipping hemlock brew from a smoking goblet Penny Dreadful related, "I was very hex-cited to join forces with that quack..er.. I mean esteemed mad scientist and horror host, Dr. Gangrene! Not only am I a fan of the Doctor's fine program, but we also happen to see eye to bloodshot eye on most subjects - especially the subject of Halloween. I hope this TV Special becomes staple All Hallows Eve viewing for monster movie fans both living and dead."

Penny Dreadful's Shilling Shockers, now in its 8th season, is based in New England and airs in over 150 cities. Penny Dreadful is portrayed by Danielle Gelehrter who, in 2007, was awarded the prize for Favorite Horror Host by the Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards.

Dr. Gangrene's Creature Feature airs on its home station WNAB CW58 in Nashville TN. Dr. Gangrene is portrayed by Larry Underwood. The Good Doctor has been shocking the Scare-waves since 1999. His programs have won countless praise and have been nominated for two Emmy Awards for Public Service.

The Dreadful HallowGreen Special premieres Halloween weekend 2010 on finer television stations. Check local listings for show times. For more information on Dr Gangrene or Penny Dreadful please visit www.drgangrene.com and www.shillingshockers.com
