spandex and monster (cosplay, comics, paranormal, and fetish items from Jerry Williams))

A well known figure in the world of cosplay, Victoria Cosplay, allowed spandex and monster to pick her brain...so curtains please...Victoria Cosplay! Victoria, what brought you to the world of cosplay? I went to the very first Wizard World Philadelphia convention years ago and saw people there dressed in costume. The ones that were most memorable to me were a couple dressed as Harley Quinn and the Joker and a model who was dressed as Wonder Woman. That was the first time I had seen cosplayers in person. A few years later (in 2006) I saw a picture online of a beautiful Japanese woman dressed as Rikku from Final Fantasy X-2. I was so impressed by the quality of the costume (as well as the photography) that I decided to try it for myself and have been cosplaying ever since. What are your favorite characters to perform? That would have to be Catwoman. She's smart, sassy, sexy and dangerous. I am very comfortable walking around as Selina. I'm alot like her and I fe

Dextra Hoffman is an actress I had the pleasure of working with on ZP productions, Hellephone.  That film came out in 2008, and was written and directed by George Bonilla (I was the AD on the film, or in layman terms 'the guy who yells at people').  Dextra was one of the victims of the monster in the film, and when I was thinking of her as Poison Ivy for 'an alternate universe' fan film I was shooting...unfortunately the film never got finished...and she had moved out of state before I could get her into the film. It made sense to think of Dextra since she was getting into cosplay at that point.  However, her cosplay at this point was firmly with the batman/batgirl mythos...so without further ado...here is Dextra Hoffman. Dextra, what brings you to world of comics, cosplay, and science fiction? I have been into comics since I was a little girl, and wanted to walk in the shoes of all these different characters. It's always been fun to be someone else and

Kit Quinn on cosplay I'm pleased to showcase the cosplay efforts of the one and only Kit Quinn, a popular name in cosplay and on the festival circuit.  Kit, what brought you to the world of cosplay? Well long ago…2007…my best friend Tallest Silver was going to SDCC, and I was finally able to attend, so I did! She had been going for years before and it looked like a blast, so 2007 I made three costumes, and hit SDCC running! What are your favorite characters to perform? Harley Quinn is my favorite to PERFORM. She’s a character with a lot of personality and she’s a hoot to run around a con as. You get to mess with people, be witty, fall in love with every joker that passes by…Silv is also always my Ivy so it’s fun to play that dynamic as well. I have to ask the obvious question, what universe do you draw the most inspiration from for your cosplay efforts...Marvel or DC or independent? Well due to the sad showing of Marvel characters in my cosplay closet, it

A collection of Saturn Hero fighting evil King Eric and the dreaded Octoplague is on at youtube.  From goatboyfilms and Microbudget Puppet Theater comes Saturn Hero!  Kind of a no budget homage to live action saturday morning shows from the 70's.  Fun silly fun!

Power Girl Cosplay Powergirl is a character very popular with both the fetish and cosplay crowd.  To understand this, one needs to know the character and how she is the counterpart to the more well known Supergirl.  In the DC universe, there were characters from the golden age still fighting the good fight of WWII.  Yet how could these characters be of interest to young readers who had never even heard of or experienced the war against the Nazi empire and Hitler?  Enter the concept of parallel universes.  DC's current and relevant superheroes such as Batman, Superman, and Wonderwoman would be 'Earth 1'...and the characters from the golden age and their counterparts would be in 'Earth 2' where the characters could age, marry, or do things not associated with their current counterparts.  The universes could meet for adventures and crossovers, which is also a plus for both comic book publishers and readers, and still make the golden era comic book characters live o

I will be focusing on some of my superhero films for ectovision, and the cosplay fetish world out there...check out the clip and the blog for spandex and monster... ]  'Spandex and monster movie and blogspot' 

Wonder Woman against the Furry creature Oddly enough, I could write a book or two about the cosplay and fetishes that have sprung up about the character Wonder woman.  A brief synopsis will help underscore why this is...In 1940, educational consultant William Moulton Marston (aka Charles Moulton) wanted to create a female counterpart to the male comic book heroes.  He devised a unconventional woman hero who was as strong as her male counterparts but still had femine qualities.  Marston had an unconventional marriage with his wife and assistant, and his belief of a strong and liberated woman infused his work on Wonder woman.  The character was an amazonian princess brought back to do good for the world of men, and her weakness was that she lost her strength when her bracelets were bound together.  She had superstength, bulletproof bracets, and a magic lasso that compelled the person to tell the truth and obey commands. Martson also had pioneered the blood pressure test which led to

Speculation about the rumored UFO crash that took place in Kentucky in the mid to late 60's. Unfortunately the evidence is almost nil, and the rumors are all we have to go on since most witnesses are scared to come forward about it (don't believe that most people are willing to come forward...UFO experiences still carry social stigmas). I try to piece together what I can, offer some speculation, and hopefully in the future this alleged event could have more people willing to come forward about the UFO crash in Kentucky. I take UFO research pretty seriously, and even though most of my other films are bawdy comedies, this film is serious in content and manner, and I host it in a serious manner. 25 minutes color The film is also available for download to own and rent on amazon instant video.

This is the first blog that focuses on superhero /superheroine films.  Recently, there has been an explosion of cosplay / spandex fetish sites and videos.  Since I'm a big comic book geek, and I love the old exploitation cinema vibe from the 50's on, this blog makes sense to promote some of the films I've been doing.  I will say my films are pretty mild and can play on youtube, etc...compared to the more crazier stuff out there.  I will showcase my films(several with ectovision alone), but I will also try to bring in other filmmakers, actors, actresses, and cosplay artists from this sometimes strange but facinating tangent in cinema and entertainment. 'Ectovision' King Neptune versus Megabicep was a short in a film called 'Ectovision'...I guess if I were pitching it...Ectovision would be 'heavy metal' meets 'amazon women on the moon'...the Neptune short stars Cherokee Hall as the superhero 'Megabicep'...Casey Miracle as the s

President Ronald Reagan announced in UN speech that the powers of the world would unite if there was an alien invasion.  Some put it down to his love of science fiction augmenting a political speech, but others who know of both his experience with UFO's aren't so sure.  After all was said and done...was it a warning?
