just after the bludgeoning of the victim and cutting back to show Leatherface slamming the metal door shut." Branding and marketing: 1950s Horror Comics & Bernie Wrightson Monsters HD commissioned genre artist and Swamp Thing co-creator Bernie Wrightson "to design their EC Comics-style image spots and brand." Monsters HD utilized Wrighton's artwork on air, on line and in print advertisements which appeared in the genre publications HorrorHound, The Phantom of the Movies' Videoscope, and Rue Morgue Magazine. Horror writer and fellow Swamp Thing comic book artist Stephen R. Bissette noted on his blog Myrant "Wrightson's fun riff on the Jack Kamen EC inspired Creepshow film poster as well as "Wrightson's 'Eye Want You!' parody of the famous Flagg Uncle Sam recruitment poster" which Monsters HD used to introduce a skeletal Frankenstien Zombie character named "Uncle Samhain." Monsters HD announced Wrightson's Uncle Samhain character at the San Diego Comic Con in July 2006 with the character artwork appearing on branded T-shirts, advertisements and web banners heralding Monsters HD's user-generated video series called "American Monstar." On October 30 and 31, 2006, the Uncle Samhain character appeared in an animated "American Monstar" promotional spot which ran in over 150 movie theatres across the United States with a special Monsters HD presentation of the John Carpenter horror classic Halloween. Merchandising: Monsters HD Action Figures and DVDs Monsters HD also has a boutique line of action figures, produced in association with Executive Replicas and Amok Time, which were reviewed by collector and Fangoria.com contributor Mike Koopmans who noted, "I'm most impressed by the Monsters HD line. It's not so much the quality and detail that tickles me so; it's the odd choice of characters." Prototypes of Monsters HD's Uncle Samhain character and Frankenstien Meets The Space Monster appeared at the New York Toy Fair in 2008, but only the creature from Horror of Party Beach and the teenage vampire girl from Blood of Dracula were produced and continue to be sold. Another marketing and merchandising effort was created for Monsters HD by Dark Sky Films and MPI Home Video, as well as Lions Gate Entertainment, who continue to release and sell a boutique DVD line of Horror and Drive-In Double Feature discs showcasing Monsters HD's owned and remastered films.Monsters HD's DVD label includes the Del Tenney films Horror of Party Beach and Curse of the Living Corpse, and Violent Midnight; Frankenstein Meets The Space Monster;
