Did You Know John Carpenter Was Set to Direct “Creature from the Black Lagoon” Remake?
At one point a few years ago, John Carpenter was scheduled to direct a remake of The Creature from the Black Lagoon. In preparation for the film, Rick Baker was brought on board to re-design the Creature based on Milicent Patrick’s original work for the 1954 film. Although Carpenter’s update was never made, he does have several of the models on display in his home.
“Curse of the Werewolf” by Francesco Francavilla
When I was a kid my favorite monster was the Wolfman.
My favorite wolfman movie was (and is) Curse of the Werewolf starring Oliver Reed. For my money (or at least my two cents), that movie has the best designed werewolf of any film.
Perhaps Francesco Francavilla agrees because he created a great Curse of the Werewolf tribute piece!
Universal Horror for a Scary Good Time!
Who doesn’t dig the old Universal Horror movies?
I love ’em. If you do as well, then you’ll want to check out the documentary below. You’ll have a scary good time.
You Don’t Mess with William Afflis!
The gentleman above is William Afflis, but if you grew up anywhere in the midwest from the 1960’s or later, you knew him as Dick the Bruiser. As you probably guessed (if you didn’t know) Mr. Afflis was a professional wrestler. Beyond that Afflis was a legitimate tough guy and smart business man.
Brandon Davenport has written an informative profile of The Bruiser that details his early life, his amateur and pro football career, his brawls with coaches, police and the riot he and Alex Karras caused when they got into a bar fight with each other, as well as his Hall of Fame wrestling career from newcomer to owner of the World Wrestling Association. Even if you’re not a fan of pro wrestling, I think you’ll get a kick out of You Don’t Mess with William Afflis.

Frank Miller Talks “Cursed”
I’m not particularly a big fan of young adult novels or the King Arthur legend, but I may just have to get on board when Cursed by Frank Miller and Thomas Wheeler comes out later this year.
Cursed…
…approaches the legend of King Arthur from a very different angle, focusing not on the destined King of the Britains, but the “Lady of the Lake” herself, Nimue. Featuring color and b&w illustrations from Miller, its an all-ages tour de force not to be missed!
You can learn more and see additional art at the PREVIEWSworld Q&A With Frank Miller.
“Escape from New York” Poster by Ciarán O Donovan
Each week JoBlo.com posts a feature called Awesome Art We’ve Found Around the Net. I always enjoy what JoBlo finds because with each post they list the artist’s name and a link to more of his/her art.
That’s where I found this cool Escape from New York poster by Ciarán O Donovan. You can see more of Ciarán’s art here.

Coffin Bound by Waters, Dani, Simpson and Bidikar
Coffin Bound by Dan Waters (writer), Dani (artist) and Brad Simpson (colorist) is a new series coming from Image Comics. It doesn’t look or sound like a typical comic…
Chased by an unstoppable killer, Izzy Tyburn has decided that if the world won’t have her in it, it can have nothing of her at all. She’s retreading her life, leaving nothing but burned rubber, ash… and the sun-scorched bones of those who get in her way.
“This is a book all about the inevitability of death, and the choice each of us faces between coming to terms with it, or trying to deny it,” said Watters. “This is a book drawn beautifully by Dani, with Brad Simpsons’ filthy bright colors. This is a book about cars, guns, and sex—and how each of those things does little to stave off the bottomless void waiting just beyond the veil of our known existence. What was the question again?”
Image has an eight page preview that you can see here. I’m on board.
