Richard Elfman's Forbidden Zone Forbidden Zone with music by the mystic knights of the oingo boingo If I was going to name the film that influenced all of my films, I'd probably give this film as one of the most influential on what I did with films.  Richard Elfman started his street theater group 'The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo' in the early 70's after doing a stint in Jean Savary avant garde theatre troupe in France.  Essentially the mystic knights would do crazy max fleischer type of cartoon raunchy burlesque live action theater with old Cab Calloway standards and originals performed by Richard's younger brother Danny Elfman.  They played theater venues and eventally doing a stint on the gong show.  Danny Elfman was pulling the mystic knights to drop the theatrical elements and go more for a punk vibe ala XTC.   Eventually the Mystic Knights became the pop punk band Oingo Boingo which led to a successful scoring career for Danny Elfman (Ba...

  Kimberly Kane as Wonder woman Kimberly Kane as Wonder woman With the successful reboot of superman with Man of Steel, more and more folks are quietly hoping for a possible justice league film or even a reboot of Wonder woman.  Outside of the iconic 70's tv show, Wonder woman has had problems being adapted to screen.  To underscore this, just look at the adult parody of wonder woman with adult film star Kimberly Kane and compare it to Adrianne Palicki's wonder woman in the unsold pilot by David Kelly.  Kimberly Kane looks very much like Wonder Woman if it was a big budget screen adaption, whereas Adrianne Palicki looks like she got costumed at the local halloween express.  It points to the problem of rebooting the amazon princess to the big screen.  Few movie studios are willing to invest in a big budget Wonder Woman reboot. Adrianne Palicki's wonder woman Quietly adult entertainment has exploded with its fairly faithful adaptions of comic b...

Orgy of the Dead Horror writer Bob and his girlfriend Shirley endure monsters and burlesque dancers in Orgy of the Dead While not officially directed by cult filmmaker Ed Wood, this strange film has enough 'woodisms' to be part of his unique cinema canon.  Veteran nudie filmmaker A.C. Stephens asked Ed Wood to provide the screenplay (which originally was 20 pages with the rest of the time to be filled with horror themed nudie dancers).  Shirley is horrified by the monsters / nudie girls of Criswell!   Up and coming cult actress Pat Barringer did a dual role as Shirley and as the haunted gold girl dancer.  Rounding out the cast was Ed Wood actor/friend/psychic Criswell as the lord of undead.  Actress Fawn Silver in her only role played a character very much inspired by Vampira. one of the original promo bills for the film...just what is 'astravision' anyways? For erotica, it's pretty bad and boring.  The nudity and music pack as much hea...

The strange saga of Marvel man marvelman comic Created out a need for a hero when the British reprint publisher ran into problems when the popular Captain Marvel character was being forced out of business by DC's lawsuits claiming Captain Marvel was a rip off of the popular Superman.  Marvel man was a cosmetic revamp of Captain Marvel, with his nemesis being Gargunza as opposed to Dr. Sivana.  Artist Mick Anglo created Marvel Man for publisher L. Miller and son in 1954. comic book writer / occultist Alan Moore Marvel man ran its course before folding up in the early sixties.  Later, the character was revamped by occultist/writer Alan Moore (which due to copyright issues was dubbed Miracle man).  Moore explored the dark side of heroes, and the blurry line of gods among us.  While more well known for the Watchmen and the Killing Joke, some contend that Alan Moore hit all the right notes of superhero subversion with Miracle Man.  Future San...

energy from a tesla coil Few deny the technology that maverick scientist Nikola Tesla brought to the masses.  His alternating current is now the standard of energy around the world, and his inventions run the line from particle weapons to wireless energy transmission.  While rival Thomas Edison acquired the title 'wizard of menelo park' could Tesla actually make a claim to the title of wizard? maverick scientist Tesla Tesla was afflicted by a strange illness where he could see something in his mind as a three dimensional object such as design for his tesla coils and make it run in his mind and watch it work in real time.  This strange malady has more in common with virtual reality or the concept of visualize magic where you visual something and thereby by ritual of spells materialize some form of magic or creature (noted UFO researcher John Keel argued that visitations and bigfoot had more in common with elemental summoning than a prehistoric man). Tesla die...
