They are two separate projects. Not sure status of J. Michael's though he has been shooting substantial footage.

The thread for Bob Tinnell's similarly themed MONSTER KID documentary in this forum reminded me about this one. Anyone know if they are one in the same or totally separate? If they are not one in the same, anyone know what the status of J. Micha...

Great essay David! I remember reading this the first time I joined the board under the name Zombiewalkin. It was that essay that introduced me to the term and I have proudly called myself a MonsterKid ever since.........even used it as my screen name. Thi...

I think the first time i ever saw the term "monster kids" used in a horror fan motif is in the Misfits song "All Hell Breaks Loose" from the 1982 LP WALK AMONG US,in which Glenn Danzig (who at the time was a huge horror/monster movie f...

George AMERICAN CINEMATOGRAPHER Turner was another guy who made an amateur monstuh pitcha in his younger days. (Sorry if this has been mentioned already, I haven't read this whole thread.)

Too true. And there were all those "camera clubs" around the country where members made their own 16mm movies.

And any discoveries of what they did back in the 1920s or whenever would be entirely after the fact. True; none of us would have been influenced by those early efforts. I'm just curious as to how many other such amatuer films like that from then w...

No, Ted's groupies should be called (ta da!) TeddyKids. Yep, there were a lot of people out there (e.g., Roy Thomas, Larry Ivie, Hef) who could technically be called MonsterKids, who were involved in typical MK activities long before that first arti...

Hugh Hefner would indeed qualify as a MonsterKid in the classic sense. Besides making amateur horror movies, he also published a fanzine and wrote/drew his own comic books. Sound familiar? And there were others besides Hef. Man does that sound like a...

Or like "fanboy." Or "Trekkies." More dangerous, yeah, like in "Billy the Kid." And to invoke the Who, "The MonsterKids are All Right!"

Sounds a lot more dangerous than "SciFi Boy," dosen't it? "Sci-Fi Boy" sounds like something that David Letterman would call us!
