A trippy, late 1960’s rock song that blends acid rock with an Etherwave theremin has the potential to be awesome as is. Make that song about killer green slime from outer space, and you have one of the greatest B-Sides of all time. It’s Green Slime time!
A year after Stanley Kubrick brought the world the masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey, celebrated Japanese filmmaker Kinju Fukasaku gave us the bad movie masterpiece The Green Slime. This 1969 US-Japanese co-production dealt with a space station’s encounter with an asteroid covered with a green slime; samples brought back to the station grow into rubbery green cyclopean monsters with electrocuting tentacles, the likes of which would make even the first incarnations of Doctor Who chortle in disbelief.
The Green Slime is widely hailed as one of the most entertaining bad movies of all time and was the first movie “Mystery Science Theater 3000” roasted back in its days before airing on Comedy Central. What’s not to love? Astronauts, scientists, and sexy Italian nurses on a model space station fighting green rubber eyeball monsters with flailing, electrified tentacles played by Japanese schoolchildren in goofy costumes.
One of the keys to The Green Slime’s endearing legacy as a b-movie favorite is its one-of-a-kind theme song by Charles Fox. All one need do is watch this custom made music video, and it should be abundantly clear why both this memorably kooky song and the movie from which it hails are the stuff bad movie classics are made of.

We recently reported on a collaboration between the people behind Creepy magazine and Stussy clothing to produce some cool digs. Now we've got word of another line of clothing, this time created by Disturbia featuring some classic Hammer Films as the subject matter. How can you go wrong with Disturbia Clothing producing Christoper Lee threads? It's magical!
The actual designs are under very tight wraps, but we did manage to track down the one image below. Also, we've been assured the other designs are badass. And we never doubt our friends from across the pond at Disturbia when they promise something is going to be B.A.
The actual clothing launch is February 17. If you're a Hammer or Disturbia fan and are interested in this mash-up, the best thing you can do is click yourself over to the Disturbia website and get yourself signed onto their mailing list to get the first looks at the Hammer clothing and have the first opportunity to purchase.

From the Press Release Disturbia Clothing are extremely excited to reveal a nail-biting new collaboration with the masters of horror, Hammer Horror this February 17th. Disturbia have partnered with legendary production company Hammer to launch a series of limited edition t-shirts based on iconic Hammer classics such as The Mummy starring Sir Christopher Lee, and Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell with the phenomenal Peter Cushing.
“This is brand new territory for Disturbia Clothing,” says creative director and company founder Frank Major. “We wanted our first ever licensed collaboration to be iconic and British, and they don’t come much more iconic than Hammer.” Hammer was originally launched in 1934 and delivered a hugely successful run of films in the 1950s and 60s. With a recent resurgence in popularity and hit films such as Let Me In starring Chloë Moretz and the brand new The Woman in Black starring Daniel Radcliffe, Disturbia feel that the timing is perfect for a collaboration of this type and are excited about introducing a whole new generation of fans to the iconic horror brand.
Disturbia Clothing is now one of the UK’s leading alternative clothing labels, with around 150 stores supplying t-shirts and accessories to thousands of customers and fans worldwide. Inspired by the left of centre and usually focused on the darker side of popular culture, Disturbia Clothing has a timeless affinity with horror movies and alternative music and is already worn by artists such as Slash, Axl Rose, Mastodon and the Prodigy.

Looking for some fresh reading material for your Kindle or iPad bookshelf? How about thumbing through Dan Thomas' zombie horror novella Dark Highway about a hapless young salesman who is zombified by listening to sales motivation tapes?
Originally published a while back as a trade paperback by Black Death Books, Dark Highway is now being reissued as an eBook with some spiffy new cover art.
Synopsis: Dead End! Fueled by high hopes and the words of motivational speaker Skip Forney, traveling salesman Tom Turley takes a road trip into Wyoming to close a deal that will salvage his self-respect and save his cheesy, low-dog job - and winds up taking a wrong turn into hell! After a bloody encounter with serial killer swingers, Tom wakes up from a dirt nap with a continually decomposing body, the entrepreneurial spirit, a craving for human flesh - and a taste for revenge. But what's a zombie to do with all eternity on his side? Re-inventing himself as a merger maniac with fangs, Tom becomes the King of Wall Street and proves that even death can't stop a man from staking his claim (through the hearts of his clients) or greasing the wheels of the corporate machine (with blood).
Dark Highway is a lurid, humorous tale of zombie perseverance, hostile takeovers and world conquest and invites you to take a horrifying, B-movie ride into the underbelly of one man's demonized soul.
