Cassette Death will Terrify You - PRESS RELEASE



Pop culture blog/art shop Strange Kids Club has launched a crowdfunding campaign in support of Cassette Death, the forthcoming issue of SK Comics Magazine. Genetically engineered to offend, entertain and excite your inner child, SK Comics Magazine combines indie comic art with articles that explore the seedy underbelly of pop culture nostalgia.

Fellow strange kids can view the new artwork (attached), watch a teaser trailer for the issue on YouTube and back the project on Kickstarter.

Chock full of irreverent, nostalgic and humorous content, Cassette Death is the the first ever full-length Strange Kid comic. Also included within the pages of SK Comics Magazine are an in-depth interview with iconic artist/toy designer James Groman (Madballs, My Pet Monster), twisted parodies of films such as Hellraiser, The Thing and The Gate and much more!

This issue features contributions from such talented artists and writers as Dean Rankine (Mad Magazine), Aaron Alexovich (Invader Zim), Chris Savino (Dexter's Labratory), Glen Brogan (Cartoon Network), Mike Wasion (Fangoria), Benito Gomez (Tales from the Bully Pulpit) and Strange Kids Club's own Rondal Scott, among others.

In a week's time, the Kickstarter campaign has raised more than half of its $6,000 goal. In addition to physical and digital issues of the book, rewards to those who support the project include shirts, toys and advertising space. Successful funding will be put toward paying the contributors and operational costs in order to publish the issue. The magazine is already 75% complete, with the final product expected to be released in April.

Celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Night of the Demons With Strange Kids Club Limited Edition Screenprint

Strange Kids Club is having a party. You'll have a hell of a time!

Pop culture blog/art shop Strange Kids Club is celebrating the 25th anniversary of Night of the Demons with an exclusive screenprint. It is available for purchase now at http://strangekidsclub.bigcartel.com/product/night-of-the-demons

The screenprint commemorates the 25th anniversary of Kevin Tenney's Night of the Demons, which was released on October 14, 1988. Limited to only 50 pieces, the poster measures 18x24 and features a hidden glow-in-the-dark layer. Each one is printed on 100lb French Poptone Grapesicle stock by Danny "ohdanielsan" Askar. They cost $40.

Strange Kids Club teamed up with artist Matthew Skiff for the design, which depicts the entire horrifying cast of the cult classic. "I could go on forever as to why I love Night of the Demons so much," explains Skiff, "But it boils down to it having the perfect balance of scary and goofy, and it's the perfect Halloween movie. I wanted to capture as many characters as I could that made the movie so perfect, as well as the notorious 'lipstick scene' that you just have to see to believe."

This isn't the only treat Strange Kids Club has in store this Halloween season. Earlier this month, the website released a Belial (from Basket Case) monster pillow, which sold out in 15 minutes, as well as Series 1 of their Circle Jerks stickers. October 24th will bring an 18x24 digital print for Stephen King and George A. Romero's Creepshow.
