The Fellowship is pleased to present the next movie on our funny horror movie list, Young Frankenstein (1974). Even Mel Brooks thinks this is the greatest Mel Brooks film (or so we’ve heard), and Gene Wilder wrote one hell of a script. We all have opinions and trivia, and we add our usual flair, as well as our picks of the week.
What we're up to this week:
Still catching up on comics - Brothers Dracul, Real Science Adventures, Comic Book Implosion
A horror movie a day; Batman Damned (tangent of sorts on the “Bat-Wang” controversy); Bully Wars; Nightmare Before Christmas manga
Annual reread of Something Wicked This Way Comes; Scared Silly DVD collection (13 old comedy-horror movies, including Little Shop of Horrors, which sparks a brief tangent)
The new Doctor Who debuted; catching up on reading

Horror Movie Month! - this week we're loving Young Frankenstein, such a well written and well played movie with a clear reverence for the source material
[Note: Mel Brooks: Make a Noise (2013) was the documentary I was talking about. -m]

The Fellowship is pleased to present the next movie on our funny horror movie list, Student Bodies (1981). This is a movie with strong Texas roots, and though it didn’t do a ton of box office, it still has a pretty good lock on spoofing the slasher flick. We all have opinions and trivia, and we add our usual weirdness, as well as our picks of the week.
What we're up to this week:
Finally finished Secret Wars and can move on to other comics
31 Days of October - watching something Halloween related every day
A1: The World’s Greatest Comics - collection of British comics; also Q: The Winged Serpent - a movie that maybe isn’t as good as the A1 collection ;-)
(a bit of a tangent here about… well, you’ll see)
Batman: The Brave and The Bold Bronze Age collection - an interesting read; also ASMR on Twitch - helpful for trying to wind down (some of us need that, y’know?)

Horror Movie Month! - this week we’re talking Student Bodies, possibly the first horror spoof
Also some interesting details along the way (but maybe I’m weird that way)
Picks for the week of 10/10:

reMIND #1 (Titan)
Devil Within #1 (Black Mask)

On a sadder note, farewell to Norm Breyfogle and Carlos Ezquerra, comics artists of great accomplishment who will be sorely missed
And Turner Classic Movies (TCM) is spotlighting a bunch of great scary movies in October, so go check some of them out :-)
