Monster Mash-Up Mayhem at C2E2

One of the special events taking place at the brand new C2E2 conference in Chicago will be:

Monster Mash-Up Mayhem!
All the BRAAAAAINS Behind the Quirk Classics Appearing Together for the First Time!
Moderated by Tasha Robinson of The A.V. Club
Friday, April 16th, Room E351 from 8PM-9PM

Best-selling Quirk Classics authors Seth Grahame-Smith, Ben H. Winters, and Steve Hockensmith, along with Jason Rekulak, the series creator and Quirk’s associate publisher, discuss writing and remixing classic works of literature as well as the future of the monster mash-up. Tasha Robinson of The A.V. Club will moderate the discussion. A booksigning will follow the panel.

Seth Grahame-Smith is a film and television writer/producer, semi-frequent blogger, and best-selling author. His first novel, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (with Jane Austen), debuted at #3 on the New York Times Best-Seller List and has been translated into 25 languages. There are currently more than one million copies in print. Seth is also the cocreator/executive producer of the upcoming MTV comedy series The Hard Times of RJ Berger. His newest novel is Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.

Ben H. Winters wrote the New York Times best seller Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters (with Jane Austen) and the forthcoming Android Karenina (with Leo Tolstoy), both for Quirk Classics. Ben has written for a wide range of newspapers and magazines as well as several books in the best-selling Worst Case Scenario Survival Guide series; his plays and musicals have been produced Off Broadway, regionally, and around the world. He lives in Brooklyn, but you can always find him at www.benhwinters.com.

Steve Hockensmith is an award-winning short-story writer, novelist, and reporter. His short fiction appears regularly in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine and Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine as well as anthologies such as Sherlock Holmes in America and Death Do Us Part. His story “Erie's Last Day” appeared in Best American Mystery Stories 2001. His first novel—the kick-off to his Holmes on the Range mystery series—was a finalist for the Edgar, Shamus, Anthony, and Dilys awards. He lives in Alameda, California, and blogs sporadically at www.stevehockensmith.com. His newest novel is Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls, the prequel to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

Jason Rekulak is the creator of the Quirk Classics series. Inspired by all the creative copyright infringement that flourishes on the Internet, he decided to spice up public domain works of classic literature by adding monster mayhem. Surprisingly, he created a subgenre of books—the literary monster mash-up—that has taken the world by storm. Jason has conceived all the titles in the series and has worked with the authors to develop the manuscripts. He is Associate Publisher and Creative Director at Quirk Books.

The Walking Dead Ambles Over to TV

Check out this Variety story on AMC ordering up episodes of the hit horror comic book, The Walking Dead.

After a couple of recent adaptations of Clive Barker's Books of Blood stories - "The Midnight Meat Train" and "Book of Blood" - here is the latest, and its a good one. A Daemon at WildClaw recommends "Dread" - it's one of the better adaptations of a Barker story.

Knitting Phantom

Ever since Legion opened, we haven't seen Aly Greaves around the theatre. Sure, it could be that she's working on a bazillion shows this spring, but I suspect something else is going on. Now I know the truth:

POLICE HUNT "THE MIDNIGHT KNITTER" WOOL GRAFFITI BANDIT

A guerilla knitter is gradually covering a New Jersey town in brightly coloured wool - and authorities have no clue who the rogue crafter is. Read the story.

Old Neighborhood Grill Supports WildClaw

One of WildClaw's LEGION sponsors is Old Neighborhood Grill in Evanston. WildClaw thinks you should head on up there and check 'em out. Great food, good company. Baklava to die for and big juicy burgers.

The reviews are in - LEGION is a smash!

Here's what people have been saying about WildClaw Theatre's production of LEGION:

Kerry Reid, Chicago Tribune
“Chilling Exorcist sequel gets WildClaw treatment - Three Stars! LEGION deserves attention from serious fans of smart, well-crafted psychological horror.”

CSE Cooney, Centerstage
“RECOMMENDED – a Must See Show … LEGION provides a gruesomely good time at the theater.”

Aggie Hewitt, Chicago Theater Blog
“LEGION lives in the dark and the light: it’s political and scary and cinematic all at the same time… this play hits all the right marks for a fun night out.”

Chris Arnold, SteadStyle Chicago
“Horror is a difficult genre to pull off, especially onstage, but WildClaw Theatre has proven to have the intelligence and wherewithal to make it happen.”

Jude W. Mire, Killer-works.com
“WildClaw's LEGION is intelligent theology wrapped up in a bloody strait-jacket and whispering at you from the shadows. Do not miss it!”

Don Hall, An Angry White Guy in Chicago
“The show is a gas … LEGION is definitely worth your time.”

David Schmidt, Sword and Cloak
“The WildClaw folks deliver a powerfully ominous atmosphere, some wonderful suspense, and some genuinely chilling moments that are a complete delight.”



WildClaw Theatre proudly presents the world premiere of William Peter Blatty’s sequel to his horror classic, The Exorcist.

Based on the novel LEGION, written by William Peter Blatty.

Adaptation by Charley Sherman (The Great God Pan, The Dreams in the Witch House)

Kitley's Krypt MYSTERY PHOTO #39

Another week, another MYSTERY PHOTO!

Jon Kitley, pillar of the Chicago Horror Community and head honcho over at KITLEY'S KRYPT, wants to challenge your horror knowledge. Week in, week out, he posts a Mystery Photo - sometimes from an obscure horror title, sometimes just an unusual shot from a well-known classic. We figured our faithful Claw readers would enjoy the challenge!

Last week's photo was from one of those fun big bug flicks from the '50s (though a little harder to come by these days), Kenneth G. Crane's MONSTER FROM GREEN HELL (1958). Starring Jim Davis (years before his turn as Jock Ewing on the TV show Dallas), MFGH did receive a DVD release from Image in 2001, but now seems to be well out of print. Too bad, as it's one of those movies whose publicity stills pop up frequently in reference books, whetting fans' appetites to actually see it. However, while the giant wasps pictured below are pretty amazing, they only represent a small part of the film. Fans of the '50s gigantism craze are going to be far more entertained by something from Bert I. Gordon.


Let's see how well you fare with this week's offering:

If you provide the correct answer, your name will be announced next week on the Kitley's Krypt website (http://www.kitleyskrypt.com), along with a new photo. Even if you don't know the answer, we welcome any sorta-kinda educated guess! So, send in your emails today and good luck!

Happy Birthday, Angelo Badalamenti! (Twin Peaks music and more)

On this date in 1937, composer Angelo Badalamenti, who did the film scores for David Lynch's films Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart, Mulholland Dr., Lost Highway and the TV series Twin Peaks, as well as other genre credits such as A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: The Dream Warriors, Cabin Fever, Neil LaBute's remake of The Wicker Man, and Dark Water, was born.

And below is the scariest 20 seconds I've ever seen on television. Mission accomplished, David and Angelo.

The Signal Man by Charles Dickens

Stephen Critchlow - "Critch" - brilliantly narrates "The Signalman", by Charles Dickens.

Cemetery Dance News

Cemetery Dance Publications, best known for their work with Stephen King and Dean Koontz, is also publishing collectible editions by William Peter Blatty.



In 2009, they published a special hardcover edition of his classic haunted house novella, Elsewhere. The signed editions are sold out, but the trade edition is now in its second printing.



In 2010, Cemetery Dance will publish The Exorcist and Legion in one special volume. Featuring the two classic William Peter Blatty novels in one beautiful volume for the first-time ever, this oversized deluxe special SIGNED edition will be a must-have for any collector of horror. This incredible collector's edition also includes original B&W artwork by acclaimed artist Keith Minnion and the entire career spanning interview conducted by Cemetery Dance Managing Editor Brian Freeman, covering Blatty's life and career from the 1950s to the present. Both the Limited Edition and the Lettered Edition are signed by William Peter Blatty and there are no plans at this time to publish a trade edition of this special volume.



And finally, Cemetery Dance magazine issue #62 was a William Peter Blatty Special Issue featuring three original contributions by Blatty: "Epilogue: The Exorcist" and "Prologue to Exorcist III: Legion", which were "lost" sections of the screenplays of those movies, and "Terry and the Werewolf", an original short story Blatty wrote in the 1960s that never saw print. Also in the issue was an excerpt of a career spanning interview conducted by Cemetery Dance Managing Editor Brian Freeman and "An Invitation To The Dance, Legion: Exorcist III" by Kealan Patrick Burke. The cover artwork was painted by Les Edwards.

Happy Birthday, Brad Dourif!

While Scott Barsotti tears up the WildClaw stage, his cinematic LEGION counterpart, Brad Dourif (whose other genre credits include Rob Zombie's recent HALLOWEEN movies, URBAN LEGEND, ALIEN:RESURRECTION, and of course, voicing the ever-so-charming-and-homicidal doll Chucky in the CHILD'S PLAY movies) celebrates his 60th birthday!



He really is a Good Guy, isn't he?

The Blob (etc.)

Here goes another unsolicited shout-out to our friends in Chicago theatre doing weird, horror related stuff.

Mr. Morlock had a lovely evening a week or two ago imagining he was old enough to remember the vibe of 60s drive-in B-movies. (He's close, but not that old. Young ladies, don't be scared away...) Cornservatory delivered a beautiful and absolutely hilarious homage to that very vibe with a stage adaptation of perhaps the most absurd period monster movie ever: "Somewhat Gelatinous Blob From Beyond the Grave... and That Grave Is In Outer Space!!" Seriously, that's the title.

Believe that it's their closing weekend. But you by damn shouldn't see their show before seeing ours, William Peter Blatty's LEGION -- the sequel to the Exorcist, yo! -- but it is admittedly a fine funny show. (Goddammit! shouts the crazy guy from the Pentagon. You'll have to see the show to get it.)

Anyhoo, Mr. Morlock will now spend the rest of his evening reassembling his apartment from the shambles of tech-week while pondering the ineffable heaviness that is KINDERMAN's THEORY of EVIL. You'll have to see OUR show to get it, but here's a hint:

The Big Bang = The Fall of Lucifer.

That's right. Physics and Demonology. Discuss. Enjoy.

Top O' the Scary to Ya!

Wildclaw wishes you a Happy St. Patrick's Day! We would have invited the snakes over for a beer...

"Honey? I'm Home!" (SHINING clock)

Designer Chris Dimino created a cuckoo clock themed after Stanley Kubrick’s classic The Shining. The biggest challenge? Creating a clock in which motion, sound, and pendulum capture a moment in time fitting these conceptual elements.

Every hour, Jack breaks through the door, uttering the famous line, “Heeeere’s Johnny,” followed by Shining co-star Shelly Duvall's unmistakable scream.

Dimino's clock is a one-of-a-kind item and no plans are afoot for mass production. However, I think with a little active campaigning, we could change his mind. 'Nuff said?

We figured our faithful Claw readers would enjoy the challenge!

Last week's photo was from Terence H. Winkless' 1988 creepy crawlfest, THE NEST. Not content with simply unleashing hundreds of carnivorous cockroaches upon the unsuspecting masses, the film also features some wicked (and squishy) mutation set-pieces, such as this one with Robert Lansing getting all Brundlefly-buggy with his female co-star. Gooey, gory, and great '80s fun, produced by Julie Corman (Roger's lovely bride)

Opening Night Tonight! World Premiere of Legion!

Come early and often folks. Don't be like all of those extremely sad people who had to be turned away from Revenants because we sold out! This is a story that sticks with you. I have been having nightmares for the last two weeks about it actually...and if that is not a recommendation for a horror theatre company...I don't know what is?

Come see Legion..if only for Brian's Legendary Hair and Mustache and Some Keen 80's Fashion!

Seriously...it defies all expectations. It challenges your sense of all that is good and right and holy in this world...

Here are some of inspirations:

Detective Matt Houston...


The Facts of Life...


General Hospital...and the Stamos!

Minimalist Movie Posters

Tres bien. Tres tres bien.

Offscreen Film Festival celebrates Jess Franco

Our good friend and fellow film fiend Gert Verbeeck over at Cult Reviews clued us in to this. Where, oh, where are the teleporters promised us in the new millennium? I'd be in Brussels in a heartbeat.

From the Offscreen Film Festival website:

The Spanish cult filmmaker Jesús Franco (°1930) was 29 when he made his directorial debut. Since then, he has over 200 features to his name... or to his numerous pseudonyms. His films span a variety of genres, most of which combine horror with a dash of eroticism, resulting in a back-catalogue that ranges from magnificent B to hilarious Z movies.

His indomitable urge for total artistic liberty meant that he often had to work with very low budgets. Franco's inimitable and instantly recognizable style, with his trademark whooshing zooms and pans, is at once surreal, sensual and oddly abstract. The wandering camera draws the spectator straight into a dream world of night clubs, monsters, psychopaths, Sadean violence and pubic hair.

Many of his obsessive-voyeuristic films feature the talents of his muse, the actress Lina Romay. She will join the master of European exploitation film for this tribute in Cinema Nova and Bozar.

Kitley's Krypt MYSTERY PHOTO #37

Another week, another MYSTERY PHOTO!

Jon Kitley, pillar of the Chicago Horror Community and head honcho over at KITLEY'S KRYPT, wants to challenge your horror knowledge. Week in, week out, he posts a Mystery Photo - sometimes from an obscure horror title, sometimes just an unusual shot from a well-known classic. We figured our faithful Claw readers would enjoy the challenge!

Last week's photo was from Spanish writer/director Bigas Lunas' masterfully executed and criminally underseen 1987 effort, ANGUISH. Momma’s boy Michael Lerner, under the urgings of his mother (Poltergeist's Zelda Rubinstein, who recently passed away), performs a series of grisly “operations” on those he believe have wronged him. This leads to a series of gory and psychedelic scenes, but then things take a sharp detour with the introduction of two young women who will be terrorized not only by Lerner, but also by another killer. To give away anymore would be to reveal the central conceit, and the best surprises, of the film. Well made, with first-rate performances, special effects, and widescreen camera work that defies its small budget, Anguish has scenes of tension, humor, splatter, and realistic terror that most generic slashers can’t touch. Go, Rent/Buy, Now.

Dragon Factory

Joe Ledger, the kick-ass, zombie killing hero of Jonathan Maberry's book, Patient Zero, returns in the Dragon Factory. You can't beat exotic transgenic monsters and genetically enhanced mercenary armies. Nope, you just can't.

Horror Style: Rosemary's Baby $5000 Haircut

Horror films deliver gore, scares, and screams...but fashion? Never say never. Perhaps one of the most influential haircuts of all time came from the 1968 film Rosemary's Baby. Director Roman Polanski had Vidal Sassoon flown to the LA set to give Miss Mia Farrow a haircut for a grand total of $5000! (Though Mr. Sassoon recently revealed that the short pixie cut was actually less a stroke of genius and more about a botched scissor job that occurred from a fight Mia had with a someone involving some scissors! Possibly her husband at the time Mr. Frank Sinatra...mysterious, no?). It was a marvelous publicity stunt for the film and was much copied after the fact.

Will Wildclaw have the same success as a fashion trendsetter? That remains to be seen, although Wildclaw's own Brian Amidei is definitely testing the fashionable nerves of a certain costume designer with his ridiculous mustache configuration and hugely puffy hair. Perhaps it will be the next big thing in Chicago among horror fans? You be the judge gentle theatre goers.

Mista Pizza

At our last benefit, The Dance of the Demented, we had our late night eats provided by Mista Pizza. You definitely want to check them out.

The Davino Family has been perfecting the art of old world recipes with new world styles and taste for four generations. We believe that Mista is setting a new standard of excellence using fresh, organic and natural ingredients to promote healthy living.

They are located at 2931 North Broadway and 5351 North Clark in Chicago.

Circus Auditions this Weekend

Jonny Stax, the Svengoolie of Strange behind Scooty & JoJo's The Carpenters Halloween and others, is calling for "people with bizarre talents." It strikes Mr. Morlock that that description could suit quite a number of y'all.

And keep in mind, even if you don't have a plate-spinning or a trained three-headed dog act, he's also looking for puppet masters, costume and makeup artists. If you've got the know-how to create a conjoined twin suit, give him a shout. Mr. Morlock might be biased by his love for flamboyant facial hair, but it's also rather well accepted that Jonny Stax runs one of the tightest, goofiest, most encouraging and rewarding ships in town.

Audition Notice:

Have you ever wanted to quit your job and join the circus? Are you a singer, dancer, actor, improviser, comedian, puppeteer, or clown? Do you have an odd and entertaining skill – plate spinning, juggling, contortionist, glass chewing? Do you perform drag, burlesque, magic, freak characters, card tricks, or something else uniquely entertaining? Hiring guest and core performers of all sizes, shapes, genders, races, and ages. All positions paid.

About the project:

A circus for dance/rock venues throughout the city of Chicago. Performances are May 15 – June 25.

Auditions

Production formats include cabaret, circus, theater, puppets, and film.

Dawn of the Dreadfuls Review

The prequel to Quirk Publishing's Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is coming. Find out how England was overrun by zombies. Head on over to Quirk for a chance to win one of the Quirk Classics Prize Packages described below, after the review.



WildClaw is proud to present a guest reviewer to BLOOD RADIO, Yasmin Dincer-Ubl, with her take on Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls, written by Steve Hockensmith.

"What a delightful book! It's sprinkled throughout with humorous pop-culture references but still retains the austere propriety of the early nineteenth century. I almost wish that Jane Austen didn't write "Pride and Prejudice" (which is canon, of course) and Steve Hockensmith could continue writing about the Bennett family and the unmentionables. But as a prequel this is an excellent transition novel for zombie literature. Zombie novels needn't be confined to anthologies where readers have to search for the nuggets of gold amidst sub-par, pretentious short stories. Nor do they have to be parodies of classic literature. By making an historical zombie romance book in the style of Jane Austen, but not relying on her storyline, historical zombie lit could become a genre unto itself. I would like to see an entirely original historical zombie story and Dawn of the Dreadfuls takes us one step closer to that.

Pretentious rambling aside, the book was highly amusing and love in the time of zombies is every bit likely to make a young girl's heart race as much as a Harlequin Romance novel."

You have chance to win one of 50 Quirk Classics Prize Packs. Each prize pack, with a retail value of more than $100, will include:
- An advance copy of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls
- Audio Books of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters
- A password redeemable online for sample audio chapters of Dawn of the Dreadfuls
- An awesome Dawn of the Dreadfuls Poster (I have one and it is - Charlie)
- A Pride and Prejudice and Zombies journal
- A box set of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Postcards

[Disclaimer: Quirk provided us with a free advance ARC of the book for review and since Quirk is an avid WildClaw supporter in many ways, we thought an outside reviewer would be the fairest way to review the book.]

Week in, week out, he posts a Mystery Photo - sometimes from an obscure horror title, sometimes just an unusual shot from a well-known classic. We figured our faithful Claw readers would enjoy the challenge!

Last week's photo was from the 1977 made-for-TV flick, GOOD AGAINST EVIL, which turns up on numerous "public domain" multipacks these days. Written by Hammer scribe Jimmy Sangster and originally intended as a pilot, that's the unmistakable mug of perennial baddie Richard Lynch in the photo itself. The rest of the cast carries their own kitschy charm as well, with TV series mainstay Dack Rambo and future Sex in the City starlet Kim Cattrall. However, the jewel in this crown is character actor par excellence Dan O'Herlihy, who engages in one of the wildest and unintentionally hilarious exorcisms ever captured on film. With crew members clearly hurling stuff from just off camera, O'Herlihy does battle with a lethal (satanic?) pillow trying to suffocate him. Must be seen to be believed.
