the vampire wave

yeah, i'm not really sure how it started, but jean-lucien and i, being huge monkees fans, have taken to referring to davy jones almost exclusively as 'the wave.' anyway, in the spirit of halloween, here's a shot i took from the second season's 'the monstrous monkee mash' episode. here we see davy reluctantly about to further his vampire powers by drinking blood! bluh-blah! actually, its revealed that its only tomato juice. (WAVE: ...don't you mean 'tom-ah-to' juice?) he drinks it, to 'get used to the color.' anyway, i took the freeze frame from the dvd months ago, and i figured halloween was the right time to shoot it on out to 'planetcool.' he really was a good-looking kid back then in 1968.

morning gory

i can't remember how old i was when i saw my first copy of 'fangoria.' needless to say, i was stunned into silence, but couldn't look away. curious and precocious, i endured all the blood and clear slickness. i can say this for a fact: my first look at Penthouse gave me far fewer nightmares. still, my tomboy spirit digs the daring of 'fangoria,' and i cannot overlook the impact it had on my mind at the time. thank you, cousin... if it hadn't been for you, i don't know if i would ever have seen it.
