Jeff Goldblum as Dracula

Me and my brother were big horror fans growing up, we loved watching movies like American Werewolf In London, Nightmare On Elm Street and Poultergiest. We used to watchTales From The Crypt on a regular basis (I got seasons 1, 5 and 7 on dvd for my birthday last year). But there's one thing that was too frightening for even our taste and that was the Goosebumps books by R.L Stine, they were supposed to be creepy I know but there was something a little too creepy about them, we used to be too scared to watch the tv series too. The episodes that scared us the most were Night Of The Living Dummy III, Werewolf Of Fever Swamp, One Day In Horrorland, An Old Story, The Haunted Mask, Calling A Creeps and The Girl Who Cried Monster. The one thing that bugged the hell out of us was why R.L Stine has that weird spot on his forehead, we never understood that. Yet again R.L Stine's overly calm demeanor was quite creepy in general especially when he was doing the host segments for The Haunted Mask/Haunted Mask 2, Night Of The Living Dummy III, A Night In Terror Tower and Werewolf Of Fever Swamp. Our old friend Kirsty used to have more than a few Goosebumps videos. And at one time had the cd rom Escape From Horrorland, not to mention she had all the books. One time when we were watching her play the game, we noticed that the bad guy you had to fight in vampire village looked familar. So early last week we went on the web to find out who he voiced this vampire and...believe it or not, we found out that the vampire was voiced by Jeff Goldlum of The Fly and Jurassic Park fame. I'm not kiding, he was the vampire in that Goosebumps game.

Here's a behind the scenes shot of Jeff:

Killer Koalas From Another World













On April 5th 1992 we made a little horror comedy called Killer Koalas From Another World. It was filmed in Australia and was inspired by the dropbear myths. We shot it in the same location that was used for Howling III: The Marsupials (that was also filmed in Australia). We love all of the Howling movies. In our movie, a strange new shipment of koalas arrive in the outback-these koalas appear to look innocent and cute but are really vicious and bloodthirsty-these are called Dropbears. These monstrous marsupials are soon responsible for the disappearance of numerous tourists. The one tourist that didn't encounter one of the dropbears teams up with the local police department to track the dropbears down. We created some realistic animatronic dropbears for the movie- and they can be seen in our museum which has various props from our productions in it. The movie is very hard to find on vhs or dvd, it is a very rare and unique movie. It was entered in the local film contest, it won Best Short, Best Horror Film, Best Soundtrack, Best Score, and Best Special Effects. We've dabbled in the art of horror comedies before and are going to back to it in our upcoming horror comedy A Gastonian in Disneyworld, a homage to American Werewolf In London, my character is an actor who gets cast as Gaston in the production of BATB but ends up taking the role a little too seriously and turns into him. It's the first one to feature a transformation of me into a cartoon character.


Horror comedies we've done:


  • Killer Koalas From Another World.

  • Zombie Mutt.

  • Teddy Scares.

  • Mittens: The Cat From Hell.

  • Easter, Bloody Easter.

  • ManBelushi (a werebelushi one).

  • National Lampoon's Curse Of The Werebelushi.

  • Evil Jay series.

  • Creepy Critters

  • I Know What You Did Last Week.

Horror comedies we are working on:




  • An American Gastonian In Disneyland.

  • The Gators In The Sewers.

  • Madness At The Museum.



We want to introduce you to someone very special. You know Audrey II from Little Shop Of Horrors? Well this is it's younger sibling Clarabelle. We made her to go with the Audrey II plush. Don't worry, she doesn't bite.

Millitary Koalas The Movie: Bad Guy info.

A while back we asked fans of our show Military Koalas which bad guy they would love to see in a full length movie of the show. We asked them to vote for the bad guy of their choice, the bad guy choices were: Dingo Dan, Manogator (the half man half aligator), Draco the Lizard Man, or Morlock the Dropbear. And the bad guy who got the most votes was....Morlock the dropbear.

This is Morlock. He is a dropbear. Dropbears are basically vampire-like koalas that the Australians use as tall tales to scare tourists. Morlock the dropbear's voice is done by the great Tim Curry (who played Darkness in Legend). Morlock first appeared in the special rock opera episode of the show. Our good friend Tyrone The Terrible is a Tim Curry fan and a specialist in the art of writing villain songs (he wrote the Vizini villain song Inconcievable and many more villain songs including his own villain song, last August he and I worked on a villain song duet), he wrote the lyrics to Morlock's villain song from the rock opera special. In a musical, the villain song is a special song that is sung by the villain- sometimes it's about themselves and sometimes it's about their evil plan. . We dug deep into the dank, dark and spooky depts of the Nightmare Fuel and High Octane Nightmare Fuel pages to get inspirations for the dark dimension Morlock lives in known as the Down Under Underworld. Millitary Koalas: The Movie will be released in cinemas this weekend.








For examples of villain songs, head over to the tv tropes villain song page via this link: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VillainSong

We also advice that you must NOT under any circumstances, visit the Nightmare Fuel and High Octane Nightmare Fuel pages before bed- it will give you non-stop nightmares.

Also be warned: TV Tropes will ruin your life. (I'm just kiding, that site is awesome).
