Title: The Cast of Eerie Publications perform the Johnson-Smith "Horror Record"
Post by: Jason on October 23, 2010, 12:25:37 PM
Hey there everybody! I certainly hope you're all doing well in your various crypts, lairs & decaying manors.

Cutting to the chase, here's a link to a short film I made which marries the audio from the worst Halloween record I own (mail ordered from a comic book ad when I was eight) with the crude and gruesome art favored by the company that gave me nightmares as a child, Eerie Publications.

The Cast of Eerie Publications perform the Johnson-Smith Novelty Company "Horror Record" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yq_hSKKrg0Y#ws)

I hope you all enjoy it and that you all have a very happy Halloween.

YesIndeed.

Jason,

I sent my friend Harry Knowles, the new editor of Famous Monsters.com, a link to your video, recommending he tweet about it and he did! Hopefully, you'll get some hits. Lots of people follow Harry's musings.

"Vampires...bloodsucking vampires!"  Thanks for the clarification.  Did Ed Wood write this stuff?

Favorite image is Frankenstein using his own torn-off arm to drive a spike through a vampire's heart.

Thanks for this great little film.  Truly a Halloween treat!

I still have that record, mint condition, i bought it just before they stopped making them, by this time but they didn't offer it in a printed cover.
actually the worse recording i ever got was a cassette tape from Topstone of Danbury Connecticut, it sounds like it was recorded in a brightly lit studio, no effort was made to impart any sort of atmosphere - and you could hear the vague sound of Disco music bleeding through from the next studio.
This was actually a good deal better, so much so i transfered both sides of the Johnson Smith record to side B of the tape, as the tape originally had the same recording on both sides so i lost nothing in doing that.

Hi everyone!

Okay so I had nothing to do with this clip, and I suppose it's only tangentially related to the Eerie Pubs video I made, but since it deals with the same Johnson-Smith "Horror Record" 7" soundtrack (and because it made me chuckle) I thought that I'd post it into the same thread so that a few more like-minded types could check it out.

Yeah, this kind of thinking is probably why I failed my High School "logic" class, huh? Ah well.
