The GARY SCOTT BEATTY Update For Feb 19, 2020

A surprise guest artist has been announced at The Healing Kickstarter for Chapter 10, written by the great Mike Broder (Galaxycon). The fabulous team of Georges Jeanty (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Serenity)and Karl Story (Tom Strong, X-Men, Star Trek) will illustrate this climatic story!

HURRY, THIS MIGHT BE GONE: Mike Broder is so excited to work with this dream team of artists that he has decided to offer some highly collectible and sought after rewards in the new GalaxyCon Bundle (limit 5). GalaxyCon stuff, a bunch of exclusive variants, and more.

If you haven't leaped over to this KS yet, what are you waiting for? I'm awfully proud to be working with artists and writers from mainstream books like Superman, Wonder Woman, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Spider-Man, Batman, and X-Men on Terry's book! They're making my coloring look REALLY good.

Project: I.M.P.A.C.T. #1, a comic I colored and lettered, will be available for sale on comiXology tomorrow, Wednesday, February 19.

Project: I.M.P.A.C.T. is written by Alan Russette and illustrated by Stephen Petersen. When a team of parahuman mercenaries takes over one of the largest hydroelectric plants in Canada, Project: I.M.P.A.C.T. is called in to deal with the threat.

It's an action packed first issue! Buy it tomorrow on comiXology.

My search for brilliant, '60s and '70s horror B-movies often turns up stinkers. Sometimes they are as cringeworthy as Satan's Children, now free with ads on TubiTV.

A teen who is spat on by the world finds a cult of Satanists and, well, stuff happens. Clever directors can sometimes work magic even with weak actors, but director Joe Wiezycki can't seem to pull any tension, drama, or decent horror out of anything in this film.

I hesitate to even post the TubiTV URL so no one will sit through Satan's Children. Watch these there instead.

A Bucket of Blood (1959). Roger Corman directs beats being cool. A frustrated artist (Dick Miller) gets acclaim for a plaster-covered dead cat that is mistaken as a skillful statuette.

House on Haunted Hill (1959). Vincent Price offers $10,000 to five people who agree to be locked in a large, spooky, rented house overnight with he and his wife. Ignore any visible strings.

Carnival of Souls (1962). Director Herk Harvey shows how to make a brilliant B-movie on a shoestring, as a woman becomes drawn to a mysterious abandoned carnival.

Björk just launched another video, every bit as strange and interesting as others I've posted here. I Miss You, is directed by John Kricfalusi, creator of the Nickelodeon cartoon Ren and Stimpy. Like doing drugs, without the drugs.

Inside, buried in snow, is a good feeling, like being in bed under a warm blanket. Don't forget to hug someone soon, they may need it and it won't do you any harm either.

In glorious service to our Aazurn overlords,
Gary Scott Beatty
The Healing Will Make You Whole
