Cool Video: It’s a Dead Man’s Party

by Dan Long on September 24, 2009 at 03:00

Well-known fact about me: I am obsessed with Halloween.  On a related note, I love anything Tim Burton and Danny Elfman touch.  Therefore, I am a giant fan of The Nightmare Before Christmas and The Corpse Bride.  Furthermore, I love the band Oingo Boingo‘s odd style.  If you don’t know, Oingo Boingo‘s lead singer is Danny Elfman, the composer who does pretty much all of Tim Burton’s films’ soundtracks, and who sang the songs for Jack Skellington in The Nightmare Before Christmas.  Follow?  Well, here is an Oingo Boingo song, “Dead Man’s Party,” with an accompanying video mash-up that combines The Nightmare Before Christmas and The Corpse Bride.  Confused yet?  Just watch and enjoy.

As it gets closer to Halloween, more and more of my posts will be Halloween-related. If you don’t love it as much as I do, I apologize in advance.

Guest Strip: JEFbot!

by Dan Long on September 23, 2009 at 03:00

If you haven’t checked out the gamer/movie/geek/acting webcomic called JEFbot by Jeff Schuetze, do it!  It has great art and can definitely be appreciated by those who indulge in the technological arts.  Jeff is out shooting a horror movie called “Grey Skies” (yes, JEFbot is a ‘semi-autobiographical webcomic’ and Jeff does acting gigs in real life), and he asked some fellow webcomickers for guest strips to keep his updates on schedule while he’s out being abducted by aliens in front of a camera.  If you’ll kindly click the thumbnail below, you’ll be taken to my contribution!  Check out his archive whilst there.  I recommend it.

Go there!
