New Ghost Video

November 29, 2009

I just finished another video!  This one is called “Ghost Stories” (can be seen in the Monster Tube area).  The video is a collection of theme-driven clips that I made, involving ghost.  There’s a recreation of the hallway scene from The Shining (come play with us Danny, forever and forever and forever).  I also made one scene from Poltergeist.   I’m not completely satisfied with the outcome, but some clips came out better than expected while others…

I used Poser 3 to make the clips and edited it all together (with music) in Windows Movie Maker.  I have Poser Pro –but I thought I would master an older version before I get into the newer software. 

My ad links are doing nothing for me!! Amazon sent me an E-mail saying that I haven’t had any referrals since I signed up.  Well, rub it in!

No, people are not flocking to my site and loading up on DVD’s and book at my suggestion.  The same goes for the Google ads! 

When it comes to not making money on this site I have to wonder if it’s all worth it.  I have made some cool monster enthusiast friends on-line.  I get positive feed back from viewers.  So for that reason I will keep up with the site.  I’m disappointed that I can’t come close to supporting my family with all the time I spend promoting and updating the site –but whatever.  I do it because I’m a Monster Kid at heart!

 

Halloween & Updates

November 6, 2009

Halloween was here!  We had a good time at my house!  Some 860 trick-or-treaters came to the door!  I posted some pictures of our house all decked-out with Halloween decorations.  Look at the page “Halloween 2009”.  As always I’m too busy at the door to take pictures of the kids!

Original Monster Clips: There’s a new page here called “Monster Tube” where I will post movie clips made just for this site.  Now showing: Zombies on the Prowl (an all CGI movie), Celebrity Zombies and...

What’s in a Name?

September 22, 2009

So I changed the name of the “Celebrity Skinless” section to “Celebrity Zombies”.  When I explained to people what the section was about they didn’t get the parody.  I would have to go: you see, there’s this magazine called “Celebrity Skin” and I have “Celebrity Skinless” where the celebrities are zombies… get it?

I think that “Celebrity Zombies” says it all. 

Speaking of which: I’ve added Johnny Depp and Christian Bale.  More to come!  Keep checking back!  Book...

Too Violent for Myspace!

September 13, 2009

So, I’ve been maintaining a Myspace account for Monster Menagerie www.myspace.com/monstermenagerie .

I posted a couple of pictures on my Celebrity Skinless pictures and was using one as a “thank you” for the users who added me to their friends list.  All of a sudden my pictures disappeared!  So, I tried to reload the same pictures.  That’s when I got the message that my pictures were in violation of the terms to maintain an account on Myspace.  The pictures were “too violent”.

Dracula English Vs. Spanish Version & Celebrity Skinless

September 5, 2009

I just watched Bela Lugosi as Dracula.  I haven’t seen it in a long time and I’m not sure if I ever saw the whole thing before.  I watched all of the extras on the 75th Anniversary Edition DVD.  There’s a lot of good stuff there –but the film historians start to contradict each other!  One says that Bram Stoker wrote Dracula from a draft of “The Vampyre,” that was written by John Polidori.  “The Vampire” was written during the same weekend party that Mary Shelly attended and w...

The Mummy -Unearthed!

September 1, 2009

I just finished watching The Mummy staring Boris Karloff.  I’ve never seen it all the way through.  The last attempt was a 24-hour marathon of monster movies that played on channel 5 (KTLA), on Halloween, 1981.  I was babysitting my nephews for the weekend and I tried to stay up all night.  One reason for the all-nighter was to see the classic monster movies that I had never seen before.  That other reason was that someone set a field on fire, not far away from my sister’s house.  I was w...

Look Out!

August 16, 2009

I’ve been hard at work promoting this site!  I’m working on designing original background art for the pages (the current art was from a pre-made template).  For the background, I want to incorporate Universal Studios monsters and a least a monster from a classic Japanese movie.  This work would be a logo too that I would put on T-shirts.

I’m also toying with the idea of an on-line comic to post here.  This would be more original content!  The idea is drive traffic here and keep people...
