REMO D.'S MANOR OF MAYHEM: SEASON TWELVE!
Greetings, friends!
Well, we've aired the GILA MONSTER special, and we've got another terrific Horror Host Underground special event to bookend the MANOR's twelfth season... but you guessed it, that means that we've got to present that twelfth season first!
Over seven years old to Monterey County, but a newcomer to SG, REMO D.'S MANOR OF MAYHEM is a blend of two classic "creature-feature" archetypes... the info-and-trivia packed presentation popularized by the late, great Bob Wilkins of San Francisco, and the comic craziness personified by such hosts as Chicago's SVENGOOLIE (formerly "Son of Svengoolie"), my single most profound inspiration!
Here's how the MANOR works: in time-honored tradition, we bring you scary and/or outrageous full-length movies each and every weekend--and while there are no commercials on our show, we do provide break-in material in which we host the movies "old school." One segment is devoted entirely to the stories behind the movies we run and the people who made them--and the rest follow the adventures of our crew as we find ourselves in endlessly bizarre situations--usually inspired by the very films we happen to be showing!
Our cast of characters as it currently stands includes yours truly (REMO D., a zealous, hook-handed horror fan who will do whatever it takes to provide the requisite entertainment); DR. MONTAG, procurer of sustenance and devices to fit any occasion; KATO, THE BLACK HORNET--stalwart protector and guardian; C.C. THE VAULTMISTRESS, keeper of the films and possessor of the wings that truly sting; and MAD MARK MAK, resident maniacal wrestling superhero.
Where last we left our jolly band, the physical MANOR had been destroyed by the forces of the Thug World Order (later duly dispatched by MMM), leaving us in a formless void which turned out to be nothing more than a simulation chamber. We THOUGHT we were in the woods, in a control tower, in a ravaged apartment complex and even in a playground, but we had NEVER actually left that room! Which didn't prevent our dimensional counterparts (Italian nemesis Umberto, the shocking Lectrana, the evil Professor Markus and Mr. Cameron, the Park Commissioner) from having at us from all corners! But it all ended well, as Dr. Montag found the REAL doorway and ushered us back out into the real world.
And now, Dr. Montag has reclaimed the ground on which to rebuild the physical MANOR. But was it ever ours to begin with? Who really OWNS this place? These questions and many more (what does Kato have against dragonflies? did we just join the TWLIGHT cult? should you REALLY not try that at home? have they REALLY landed this time? was it Crunchie or Creamie?) will be confronted during the twelfth season of REMO D.'S MANOR OF MAYHEM, as we screen another lucky thirteen titles!
Ah yes, the MOVIES. You may recognize some of our upcoming features, but it's always our goal to provide you with the rarest and most outlandish material from around the entire world, including titles you won't find on any other show, case closed! Some rules remain in place... each season will feature at least one film starring Paul Naschy, king of Spanish horror; a "super" film of some description; at least one "family safe" offering; some no-holds-barred "MANOR EXTREME," and one Spanish-language feature easily followed WITHOUT dubbing or subtitles (there's just no other way to SHOW some films).
And no matter WHAT movie we're showing, we bring it to you (save for our scheduled break-ins, of course) exactly as intended: uncut and with NO interference as it plays (because, as I said earlier, we're betting that you'll be seeing most of these movies for the very first time!). And for the first time, we're pleased to announce that most, if not all, of this season's episodes will incorporate installments of Butch R. Cleaver's MEET CLEAVER THEATRE: SUBATOMIC: five-minute capsules of all the craziness in the world of entertainment, hosted by the (so far) only other horror-host to share our set in person!
So what's on the agenda for the twelfth-season premiere? Well, we didn't exactly PLAN it this way, but it couldn't be more topical... say that Kim Jong-Il himself wanted to make a monster movie back in the 1980s. And say his favorite director and actor happened to be South Korean--and that they declined to offer their services. And let's suppose that they were actually ABDUCTED and ended up making the movie under duress! Yes, it actually happened that way (fear not, they escaped to safety shortly afterwards), and the resulting movie was banned everywhere outside of North Korea for approximately twenty years!
Ladies and gentlemen, the film is PULGASARI... and it's all yours this weekend at the MANOR!
A huge THANK YOU to the Suicide Girls, Hopefuls and friends who have made me feel welcome here--it has been an absolute delight getting to know you and I look forward to plenty of shared good times in the future!
