X-MEN vs XENOMORPHS (THE BROOD)

st transfFor this weekend’s escapist superhero post Balladeer’s Blog will take a look at the way the Marvel Comics writers became so enamored of the alien menace in the first Alien movie that they did their own imitation/ homage of it in the form of an insectoid alien race called the Brood.

The Brood could implant embryos inside captives and as those embryos matured, they would transform the host into another Brood creature. The X-Men eventually fought bunches of the Brood all at once but remember – as derivative as the Brood were that X-Men serial came BEFORE the movie Aliens in 1986.

First up, however, comes the earlier story in which the writers “paid homage” to Alien by way of a member of the Lovecraftian race of demons called the N’Garai (Marvel’s imitation of Cthulhu & company). They made this N’Garai resemble the xenormorph in Alien and used the single word title Demon. Kitty Pryde even made subtle references to Alien during the story.

xm 143X-MEN Vol 1 143 (March 1981)

Title: Demon

Villain: An unnamed demon of the N’Garai race

Synopsis: This odd Christmas story opened up with a flashback to the end of the X-Men’s very first encounter with the N’Garai back in X-Men #96 (December 1975). It skipped over Iron Fist’s clash with the N’Garai as well as Satana’s battle with them.

Somehow another N’Garai demon has gotten loose in upstate New York and is roaming the forest on Christmas Eve. A romantic couple show up to chop down a Christmas tree for themselves but fall victim to the demon.

Storm, Colossus and Professor X leave in the professor’s Rolls Royce to pursue their plans for the evening and this leaves the newest member of the team – Sprite (Kitty Pryde) – alone for a few hours.

Sprite winds up being attacked by the nameless N’Garai demon. It pursues her throughout the mansion and the creature’s resemblance to the menace in Alien reminds Sprite that the crew in that movie used flamethrowers against the monster.  Continue reading

NEWS, MEMES AND POLITICAL CARTOONS ROUNDUP OCTOBER 14th

biden crime family international crimesIndependent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog comes to you as always from the Biden Crime Family’s corporate fascist kleptocracy where the regime harasses more popular opposition leaders like in other banana republics around the world. As a reminder, the illegitimate January 6th committee features ONLY people who have expressed grotesque bias.

biden the fascistIn addition, no defense witnesses are permitted to testify and defense counsel is not allowed to question witnesses. Worst of all, the minority party in the House of Representatives was not allowed to appoint members of its own choosing. The Democrats rejected those choices and instead selected members who have stated their determination to destroy the accused.

So prepare for the usual unfounded accusations and “leaks” that get headlines in Democrat media outlets but later turn out to be as false as all the other outrageous accusations that America’s cesspool of corruption which masquerades as a government has hurled against the one man to substantially oppose its ongoing criminality.

A DAY OF JUDGMENT (1981)

Halloween Month continues! Independent filmmaker Earl Owensby churned out a long list of movies over the years, including this horror flick. For more Earl Owensby horror films click HERE

A Day of Judgment 1

Owensby’s macabre Grim Reaper/ Fool Killer style monster from A Day of Judgment.

A DAY OF JUDGMENT (1981) – This movie plays as if Owensby collaborated with Reverend Estus W Pirkle like Ron Ormond did for the religious zealot/ Cold War potboiler If Footmen Tire You, What Will Horses Do? 

You can strip away that movie’s Cold War angle, though, since A Day of Judgment is set in the 1920s American south. Well, 1920s-ISH we’ll say since the usual fun Owensby anachronisms turn up repeatedly in assorted scenes.  

Reverend Cage addresses a church that is virtually empty and bores the few faithful who remain by bitching and moaning about how poor attendance has been. He’s leaving town and is basically washing his hands of the place, warning that the increasingly sinful town will get what’s coming to it. 

A Day of Judgment 3Next we have a series of scenes featuring some of the more sinful citizens of the deep southern town. Adultery, bigotry, covetousness, greed and outright murderous passions lurk behind every corner of this Mayberry-turned-Sodom and Gomorrah. These scenes go on so long even Larry Buchanan would scream “Pick up the pace, dammit!” at the screen.

A sinister, monstrously ugly man in black arrives in town, driving a horse-drawn carriage and sporting a long scythe. This figure is the film’s Grim Reaper/ Angel of Death/ Foolkiller- type menace. Continue reading

MORE NEGLECTED MONSTERS FOR HALLOWEEN SEASON

Balladeer’s Blog’s recent look at Eight Neglected Monsters for Halloween Season was a big hit with readers, so here are more.

devil-bug picDEVIL-BUG

First Appearance: The Monks of Monk Hall (1844-1845)

Cryptid Category: Malformed Human

Lore: This deformed and depraved man-monster grew up in Monk Hall as the son of one of the Hall’s members and one of the prostitutes enslaved there. He was squat, incredibly strong and grotesquely ugly with one large gaping eye and one small, withered, empty eye socket on his face.

Devil-Bug – the only name he had ever known – worked as a combination doorman, bouncer and executioner in the vile mansion called Monk Hall in Philadelphia. He killed on command and secreted the corpses deep in the sub-basements of the sinister mansion.

The unwholesome figure slept in a chilly dank room with the body of one of his victims lying next to him. Devil-Bug even used coffins – both occupied and unoccupied – as furniture in his room. Continue reading

TULSI GABBARD JOINS SO MANY OF US IN LEAVING THE FASCISTIC AND INTOLERANT DEMOCRAT PARTY

Tulsi Gabbard pictureI make no secret of the fact that years ago I was a Democrat, but that increasingly unhinged political party drove me and so many others to leave it and I became an Independent Voter. The courageous Tulsi Gabbard followed a path that is very familiar to the rest of us who decided to #WALKAWAY from the Democrats. 

First she spoke out hoping to effect change in the Democrat Party by drawing attention to its abandonment of the working class and the poor. She also drew attention to the party’s still-increasing intolerance and its abandonment of free speech and other principles. And so on and so forth until the realization set in that the Democrats at present are a hopeless case and thrive on spreading hatred and division.

The former Congresswoman also said “I’m calling on my fellow commonsense, independent-minded Democrats to join me in leaving the Democratic Party. If you can no longer stomach the direction that so-called woke Democratic Party ideologues are taking our country, I invite you to join me.”

democrats culture of hateWelcome to the Party Exodus, Ms. Gabbard! Among her other remarks:

“I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue”. Gabbard also pointed out how the Democrats:

… actively work to undermine our freedoms, demonize the police and protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans, support illegal immigration, and weaponize the national security state to go after political opponents.

THE NIGHTMARE ENDS ON HALLOWEEN I & II

nightmare halloweenTHE NIGHTMARE ENDS ON HALLOWEEN (supercut) – Back in 2004 Chris R. Notarile wrote and directed one of the most acclaimed fan films in the horror genre with The Nightmare Ends on Halloween. Following the comparative disappointment of Freddy vs Jason the previous year, Notarile produced a short film pitting Freddy Krueger of Nightmare on Elm Street fame against Michael Myers from the Halloween franchise.

By adding Pinhead the Cenobite from Hellraiser, Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th, he gave his fan film the feel of monster rally movies like House of Dracula and House of Frankenstein.

BIDEN CRIME FAMILY BLOTTER: OCTOBER 10th

democrat republican or awakeIndependent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog presents another roundup of news regarding the Biden Crime Family and its capos.

BIDEN’S DISASTROUS ECONOMIC POLICIES INFLICT THE WORST “PAY CUT” ON THE WORKING CLASS IN TWENTY-FIVE YEARS. The Biden Regime’s war on the working class and the poor continues. Joe and his fellow one-percenters are doing just fine, though.

Each time a state does this it means more and more of the “vote by mail” ballots in 2020 should not have been counted. The 2020 election was at least as corrupt as the 1876 and year 2000 presidential outcomes.
