When The Essential Ghoul's Record Shelf went on an apparently permanent hiatus back in 2005, I wondered where I was going to get my regular fix of Incredibly Strange Music. So now, after 2 years of searching through the blogospheric wilderness, I'm happy to report that I've finally found something even better: Music From the Monster Movies, a weblog devoted to unearthing unearthly tunage from the golden age of psychotronic film.

There's a whole lot of great music here, including a few gems I've been trying to find for a long, long time, like the Del-Aires Zombie Stomp, from the drive-in classic, Horror of Party Beach, so if you're a fan of cool and strange music, you owe it to yourself to click on over for an extended browse.

Speaking of public access, one of my old partners in community-televised crime, Rob Mattison, kept at it long after Chester's Chillers folded, and began producing a show called, Model Citizen, devoted to the care and feeding of resin- and plastic-models like the Monarch Nosferatu kit featured in this clip from the online version of the show. By the way, Rob just sold his first comic story, a classy little number in the Toxic Avenger graphic novel, called Toxic Avenger Vs. Rectum [Link]. Way to go, Rob!

Be-fezzed mad scientist, Uncle Pete, and his Lucha-masked sidekick, El Vato, bring you a World of Twisted and Absurd Audiovisual Oddities and The Forgotten Children of the Silver Screen in every online episode of The Dark Vault of Public Domain [Link]. They get mega-bonus points for playing a clip from my favorite Japanese New Wave band, The Plastics [Link].

Watching these clips reminded me of my own foray into public-access horror-hosting back in the early '90s, Chester's Chillers [Link]. I'll have to check into getting some episodes up on YouScrewed.
