Wednesday 13 Debutes New Single ‘Something Wicked This Way Comes’

Wednesday 13, The Horror Rock man who has been a guest on Rotting Flesh Radio as a guest and also had his music on the show, is no stranger to Horror Rock Fans everywhere.

Recently Wednesday 13 reunited with the Murderdolls and released a new CD a few year ago. Now, getting back to his catchy riffs, horror lyrics and solo career, Wednesday is amping up for his newest CD to drop soon ‘CALLING ALL CORPSES’.

The new single is titled ‘Something Wicked This Way Comes’ and serves as a look back to Wednesday’s childhood filled with toys, horror and more. The song is catchy, the riffs are heavy and Wednesday’s style is very apparent once again. Although many will hope the song is filled with references from the 80s Walt Disney Productions film featuring Jonathan Pyrce, it has nothing more than the title to share. But this doesn’t affect the power horror heavy hitting song Wednesday is known for.

Take a listen and jam away. The CD can be found on amazon as well as the debut single at: www.Amazon.com – Something wicked This Way Comes

SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES by Wednesday 13

We are working to get Wednesday 13 back as a guest on Rotting Flesh Radio but until then, Sit Back, Relax and Rot Away to his newest horror release Deadites!!!

House of Shock Delivers All-New Website and a HALLOWEEN Festival!

As we have said time and time again on Rotting Flesh Radio, a haunted attraction must stay current, and up to date on its website. This is to both, keep the current times and dates, information and more for the 2011 season as well as give your potential customers that ‘First Glance’ at what to expect out of your haunt.

This is an important piece to any Haunted House because this could make or break potential customers. This is what gives them the hint at scares lurking at the haunt and more.

Well all-new for 2011, Chad Savage of Sinister Visions has completed and helped the HOUSE OF SHOCK unleash their new site!

The new site captures the true terror that awaits customers at this intense Haunted Attraction. The graphics are very interactive, fluttering across your monitor sending chills down your spine while giving you chills of pure delight in what you experience at the House of Shock.

The House of Shock has been featured on television, including the Travel Channel and is one of the most intense, terrifying, sadistic, demonic haunted attractions that will leave you in sweat waking from your bed at home!

Within the new website you can see photos from the event, including the dark haunting images that are burned into your brain after peeing your pants at the event.

Chad Savage has done a fantastic job on the new site and it remains easy to navigate for users, has full photo galleries and is interactive for your haunter delight. You can buy from the store and see some twisted videos.

The House of Shock is kicking off on September 30, 2011 and will run on weekends until the close of the Haunt Season. Tickets go on sale at 7:00 pm at the box office (in front of the haunted house) on OPEN NIGHTS ONLY.

The haunted house opens at 8:00 pm. The Box Office closes at 11:00 pm on Fridays & Saturdays, 10:00 pm every other night.

The haunted house closes after all ticket holders have been through the house – this can range between 11:00 pm and Midnight.

Monstermatt’s Bad Monster Jokes Vol. 1: Gets Release Date

Book publisher Pill Hill Press, is pleased to announce an official scheduled release for “Monstermatt’s Bad Monster Jokes Vol.1″, written by Monstermatt Patterson, illustrated by Kyle Kaczmarczyk, with an introduction by Joe Moe and an afterword by Pat Tantalo, for their non-fiction imprint, WestNeb Books.

WestNebBooks acquired the book from it’s previous publisher, during a brief and successful run,with both critics and readers alike. Some changes have been made to the book, including some added content.

“Monstermatt’s Bad Monster Jokes Vol.1″ is a self described collection of over 400 badjokes, rancid rhymes, putrid puns and sophomoric song parodies, with illustrations, focused on horror films, monsters, sci-fi, superheroes and some popculture for good measure.

According to Pill Hill Press and WestNeb Books editor Jessy Marie Roberts, September 21st, 2011 is the scheduled release for Volume 1. Just in time for Halloween! Volumes 2 and 3 are currently being written with no release dates yet for the follow up editions.

Monstermatt has written over one thousand bad monsterjokes and this first volume gives you a sizeable introduction to the humor that resides within. The marriage of the jokes to Kyle Kaczmarczyk’s insightful illustrations are what has fans waiting for more!

What can readers expect?
Bad jokes like:

Does the 666 on Damien Thorne’s scalp mean he’s the Devil?

No, it’s his “Credit Score”!

——

Why was The Wolfman mad at his H.M.O.?

They wouldn’t pay for his “flea dip”!

——

Where does H.P.Lovecraft like to shop?

Bed, Bath & “From Beyond”!

——

What coffee drink does The Phantom of the Opera like?

La lalalalalala, latte!

——

Sophomoric song parody lyrics like:

“My Zombie Valentine”
“Intestines”
“Monsters in the Night”

And many, many more…

According to duo the book is acting as an introduction to the horror genre for newcomers while entertaining those already familiar with it. Jokes and illustrations about Frankenstein and Dracula to jokes about “The Manitou” and “Basket Case” even “The Human Centipede” are turning many a newcomer into a horror buff. The duo has heard feedback from readers that watched “Dead Snow” and some other notable films due to the book.

The jokes and song parodies have been used on horror podcasts like:

RueMorgue Radio
Screamwave Podcast
Rotting Flesh Radio
Tomb TV with Tomb Dragomir

And more. This has helped to build a growing following of Maniacs(fans).

As the Emcee of Buffalo MonsterFest 2010, Monstermatt got a chance to field test his brand of humor-a mixture of Mad Magazine/Famous Monsters/Benny Hill/Borscht Belt Comedy finding that what produced groans from the audience felt delicious to him!

With Kaczmarczyk at the drawing pad, illustrating sight gags he knew they had something “ghoul” going on that could entertain, enlighten and grow on the reader.

Some notable names from the horror genre weigh in on the book:

“I wrote this blurb so Matt would stop the Pun-ishment.”

-Rodrigo Gudino, Rue Morgue Magazine

——

“I tried very hard to find anything remotely amusing or anything that might induce at least a chuckle from this ‘Joke Book’ but was unsuccessful. In fact it actually ‘scared’ me how corny it is and that is hard to do to me! At least you have the guts. Congrats!”

-Tony Moran, The Original Michael Myers (Halloween,1979)

——

“You can open any page of this book, read one line and feel intense pain throughout your entire body. I’m in awe.”

-Joe Bob Briggs, Drive-In Critic & Host of MonsterVision

——

Here’s what the Monsters themselves are saying about the book.

“Monstermatt’s jokes are Good! Bad Good! –Frankenstein’s Monster

“Monstermatt’s jokes are a pain in the neck”! –Dracula

Kyle Kaczmarczyk’s illustrations had me howling!! –The Wolfman

“As soon as we opened the book, we knew we’d have a double headache”! –The Thing with Two Heads

Critics also had something to say about the book:

“I laughed, I groaned, I shook my head in disbelief! I highly recommend this book!” – The Monster Librarian

——

“The book is purely enjoyable.” – Sonar 4 Landing Dock Reviews.

——

The book will be available at major online book retailers. For more information and updates, or to keep up with Kyle, Monstermatt and PillHillPress, follow them on Twitter at:

Toxic Toons Releases Thier All-New Smartphone APP ‘Monsterpieces: Bringing Ugly Back’

All the time we see so many twisted creations from Eric Pigors of Toxic Toons. From illustrations, deadtime story books, posters, rock-a-billy band covers and even latex masks from Trick or Treat Studios. Eric has even done artwork for Rotting Flesh Radio that I will post in a few days for purchase.

Well now he has moved Toxic Toons into the Smartphone realm with an All-New APP! As of today Eric has launched Monsterpieces: Bringing Ugly Back.

MONSTERPIECES is a new iPhone/iPad app from Aerfish & ToxicToons, with which you can design millions–maybe billions–of unique monsters, and somehow each one is the ugliest of all.

World-famous monster artist Eric Pigors, of “ToxicToons” fame, has been rummaging around in his basement’s bins to bring you the finest collection of grotesque anatomical parts the world has ever seen. Assemble horribly fiendish faces… using pieces you’ve carefully chosen from several bubbling vats, each filled to the brim with disgusting tidbits Eric picked up from God-knows-where, or whom.

Slap together the ugliest imaginable freak, then make an even uglier sister for it.

Like it? Name it! Then save it, either to your own private gallery of Monsterpieces, or share it with the world via Facebook, email, Twitter, etc.

AS IF THAT WEREN’T ENOUGH, we’ve also supplied the perfect background music to accompany your new hobby: a sinister-sounding song by the legendary surf-rock band “Los Straitjackets!” So when you take a break from monster-making… DO THE TWIST!!

From bands your hear on Rotting Flesh Radio to Erics twisted mind of Toxic Toons this app is a must play with app. I have downloaded it today and have made a variety of wild creations, kreepy ghouls and more. What else could you ask for from the kool ghoul of Eric Pigors.

To purchase the APP for yourself it is a mear $2.99 in the iTunes App Store. He is currently working on getting an Android version out, but that is in the very near future. Until then, pop out your earbuds, and start playing with MONSTERPIECES.
