A Conversation with Writer and Indie Comix Legend JAN STRNAD - Part Three

Image
Cereal At Midnight sits down with writer and indie comix giant Jan Strnad to talk about the early days of comics, sci-fi, fantasy, and horror fandom, his years at Disney TV Animation, writing Star Wars, and his decades-long working collaboration with illustrator Richard Corben. (Continued from  Part 2 ) Cereal At Midnight:  Given everything that we've talked about and your insight into the world of big franchises, corporate mandates, and executives who aren't familiar with the source material that serves as the foundation for their tentpoles, the value of independent creation seems more important than ever. Can you talk to me about the importance of underground comics and creators, both when you were first starting out and as you see the medium today?  Jan Strnad: I grew up with comics published under the Comics Code Authority and only discovered the pre-code comics in my late teens. The EC line in particular blew my mind because the comics were so literate, sometimes ad...

The Creature Columns: The Monster (2016) Movie Review by Tom "Creature" Jeffers

Image
Bryan Bertino’s The Monster is a fantastically-fun monster movie in a genre that is  filled to the brim with questionable offerings. Bertino has a command of his writing and director  skills like few in the industry manage. He is the total package when it comes to what he seeks to  do. Many will remember his incredibly effective and terrifyingly-chilling movie The  Strangers from 2008. The Monster is no less spectacular and tension-filled. This is a little movie  that hits every bullseye it aims at. The film is a study in tension and the unknown. It is  fantastically acted with brilliant practical effects. This is a film that feels more like a late 70’s or  80’s movie that deals with contemporary issues. The film is gorgeous and makes use of powerful  storytelling. This is more than a terror-driven story. It is a story of the inner workings of the  human heart. I love it when a horror movie transcends the genre into something more than j...
