The Curse of Frankenstein (1957) – This was the first of Hammer Films’ Frankenstein films (which led to their other signature “classic monster” franchises, Dracula and the Mummy and thus cementing their reputation as a horror movie company), as well as being the first film to pair the classic duo of Peter Cushing and Christopher…
FanX!
I will be at Salt Lake Comic Con FanX this Friday and Saturday, with a table full of my recent B-movie posters (both 11″x17″ and postcard-size), at table “Teal 6” in Artists Alley, which is… …right where the red dot is in the upper left quadrant. (Click to embiggen.) I am on exactly ONE panel…
Movies Seen Recently: Ninja Apocalypse, The Robot vs. the Aztec Mummy, Doctor Strange
Ninja Apocalypse (2014) – In a moment of weakness I bought one of those “12 Sci-Fi Movie” bargain-bin megapacks (our local K-Mart was closing — big discounts!). This is the first movie in the collection that I attacked. So just so you know, I knew going in that it was going to be crap. The…

New B-Movie Poster: HitlerBot vs. FrankenStalin
You know that moment in Ed Wood (1994) where Ed is at the premiere of Plan 9 From Outer Space and says, “This is the one. This is the one I’ll be remembered for”? Available here.
New B-Movie Poster: Swamp Spiders!
I’m kinda surprised that this one doesn’t exist yet, actually. It seems so obvious. Available here.
Marsbeast 2.0!
So I had finally gotten the Marsbeast poster design completely finished… and then I decided that I didn’t like the creature itself. It seemed like a last-minute “filler” design, not the focus of a sci-fi/horror movie. Even a bad one. So I doodled around, spliced in a new creature, and… ta-dah. Available here.

Movies Seen Recently: Faith of Our Fathers, Now You See Me, Ghostbusters
Faith of Our Fathers (2015) – The tightrope that Christian movies — movies made by Christians, for Christians, about Christians — have to walk (and I’m including Mormon movies here) is that they want to (a) deal with the tough life issues that Christian faith can overcome, but also (b) provide family-friendly entertainment. Unfortunately, the best…
