With September rapidly approaching it is time that Halloween specials, programming blocks, and marathons are announced. In this case, however, Daily Dead did the Lord’s work and combed through Turner Classic Movies’ schedule to uncover what spectacularly spooky programming will be available. Consider this a public service announcement.
All Hail the King of the Monsters
As a special treat and to pay reverence to the King of the Monsters on his 65th anniversary year, it seems TCM has seen fit to make Godzilla the Monster of the Month. So kaiju fanatics are covered this October with a great number of classic Godzilla films including Godzilla (1954), Mothra, Godzilla Raids Again, and Son of Godzilla, among many others.
It’s good to be the king.

If you live in the United States, it’s time to rock the vote for real. I shared this video before in conjunction with my identity-based costume work, and I feel it’s important to revisit now, with the election coming up in just a few days. Besides which, Jack Black and Tenacious D are brilliant and given the current political climate, who doesn’t want to do the time warp? But seriously, get out and rock the vote, your life kinda does depend on it (at least insomuch as being able to make for yourself the life that you want, without the government telling you how to do so – especially if you live on the fringes of socially acceptable awkwardness like me and so many of my friends).
Besides which, this video is so good, it’s worth sharing again anyway. And again, if for some reason the video doesn’t load, you can find it here.
Art Attack
And here are some artworks I made awhile back as political commentary. The photograph was shot of the scene exactly as found, of a sign above a parking lot in a quickly gentrifying neighborhood making sure all knew that any unauthorized vehicles were unwelcome, and hung right in front of a flag that was tattered and torn from being caught on the chain link fence driving the point home. The flags were meant to be interactive, with gallerygoers waving them while singing The Star Spangled Banner in its elitist entirety. The whole really spoke to me regarding some of the political climate at the time (this was right before Trump was elected President the first time). How much has changed since then? In some ways, a lot. In other ways, I guess we shall see.
