Comics News: Monte M. Moore Kickstarts His Art Book

For Immediate Release Monte M. Moore is announcing the Kickstarter Campaign to produce his 7th "Art of Monte Moore" art book entitled MISCHIEF, which includes art from the last 10 years of his career in the PIN-UP, GAMING, COMICS and ENTERTAINMENT industries. For those not familiar with Kickstarter, it is an AMAZON backed fundraising platform for Creatives to launch new projects. In essence you are pre-ordering the Mischief art book and this helps the creator cover expenses for the publishing and shipping of the book, and allows said creator not to have to go through a Publisher who reaps most of the benefits of the artist's efforts. This campaign includes GREAT rewards like custom sketches, signed prints, games, and private commissions for drawings and paintings (including the FRONT and BACK covers of the book!) Monte Moore now asks if you would like to aid him in producing the next Art of Monte Moore book and enjoy the images for yourself, or as a gift for someone you know. Please visit the page and pledge your support. For those not interested in Fantasy Art Books, there are also those who pledge their financial support to the project to help the artists meet their goals, and ask for no reward/item in return, but know they have done a good thing in supporting the Arts. If you would like to learn more about the project and watch the video Michael Moore has created, see the rewards and goals and images from the book, then please visit this link:http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2044665875/mischief-the-art-of-monte-m-moore

Warning: Explicit Language

Page One

Panel One

This series of panels should be from a side scroll view. Show a night view of a city reminiscent of Las Vegas crossed with Coruscant through the windows of a skyscraper office. These are floor to ceiling windows. Just focus on the window, don’t bother to show any of the office.

Panel Two

Same view. A female scientist, Kate, struggles into panel from the right. Kate looks just like Karen, they’re twins; except Kate is a redhead and wears glasses. She’s wearing her glasses, a white blood stained lab coat, a pink camisole with one strap broken and her black skirt is ripped on the side. She’s holding her arm as if it is wounded. She’s dragging that arm against the window leaving a blood smear trail.

Panel Three

Same view. Kate should now be on her way off panel (left). Kate’s blood smear begins to pull in the opposite direction to the center of the window. Think of water being pulled by a vacuum. In the upper right corner; have a menacing hellhound type creature stalking into the panel, walking on the window.

Panel Four

Same view.  Kate is out of panel. The window crawling hellhound is well on his way off panel following Kate. He’s now joined by a swarm of hell hounds running on the ground after Kate. The blood travelling toward the center of the window is on its way to forming a menacing pair of eyes and a maniacal grin.

Panel Five

The hell hounds are out of panel. The window darkens and the set of red eyes are formed.

Panel Six

Full black panel with only the blood assembled maniacal face.

Page Two

                Panel One

Camera should be on a slant. Kate enters a dark room. The only thing that should be seen is the light from the hallway, as she shuts the door and the shine of her glasses.

Panel Two

Close shot of her hand locking the knob.

SFX- click

Panel Three

Another close shot of her hands locking the top bolt on the door.

SFX- shunk

Panel Four

She pushes a nearby couch in front of the door.

SFX- ERRRRRRNNN

Panel Five

Kate begins to pull out a chair in front of a computer. The light from the computer is shining on her.  It is the only light source in the room. There is another set of windows behind the desk chair.

Kate- I hope you get this Karen…

Panel Six

Kate is sitting at the computer typing with a focused look on her face. Behind her, on the windows, the hellhounds begin to converge on her.

Kate- You may be our last hope.

Page Three

                Panel One

                Straight shot from the shoulder up of Karen. She’s a brunette short hair, petite. She looks a lot like Jenny Lorenzo. She’s wearing a black hat that says Space Bean Coffee and a green apron. She looks very agitated.

                        Karen Caption- Are you #*#$%#*% serious?

Karen- Are you #*#$&%@ serious?

Panel Two

                Side shot. Karen is actually behind the counter facing a guy in a hoodie, James, who has his arms around a very attractive woman, Cosmo. Karen is slamming her hand down on the counter with a coffee in the other hand. People around the three are shocked by the force of the slam. Karen is causing a scene. James, is a text book definition of what a nerd looks like. He is somewhere between George McFly, pre Marty’s trip to 1955 and Dexter, the alter ego of Freakazoid. This girl is a textbook blonde cheerleader and she’s about a foot taller than James. He’s short.

                Karen- You’re leaving me for Cosmobitch?

                Cosmo- Cosmochick.

                Karen- Shut the #*#$ up.

    Karen Cap- She says one more thing and this coffee’s in her face.

    Karen- Are you #*#$&%@ serious?

                James- Karen, things just weren’t working out. And Cosmo is… well, better.

                Karen- Better at what? Running trains on our entire raid party or getting trains run on her?

                Panel Three

                Karen is facepalming and shaking her head. James grins in creepy manner while Cosmo is checking out the menu above and behind Karen’s head. Like in any fast food place.

                James- Cosmo is open to having an open relationship. If you wanted to join us…

                Cosmo- Can I have a Tripple Mocha Latè?

                Karen Cap- That’s it.

`               Panel Four

                This moment should look fairly epic. Karen is pissed and she’s pulling her hand back to toss this hot cup of coffee at James and Cosmo. This shot is heavy on anticipation.

                                Karen- Here’s your @#@&$!% latè!

Page Four

                Panel One

                Headshot of Karen sitting in the office getting berated by her boss who is off panel in the foreground. She is struggling to keep a straight face; anger is battling her composure.

                                Karen Cap- That was a horrible idea in hindsight.

                                Boss- You’re fired! What the hell possessed you to throw a scalding hot coffee in a customer’s face!? If they press charges we won’t be held accountable. Get out of here!

                                Karen Cap- How the hell am I gonna pay the rent now?

                Panel Two

                Karen storms out the coffee shop front door throwing her hat on the ground. She’s wearing an open leather jacket over her clothes now with a yellow motorcycle helmet in her hand. The area outside is visually a typical New York City scene; traffic is going by, tall buildings and skyscrapers in the distance.

                                Karen- Coffee tastes like dog shit anyway!

                                Karen Cap- That’s right Karen. Vent.

                Panel Three

                She hops on her yellow vespa and puts on her helmet and goggles.

                                Karen Cap- Let it all out. Woosah.

                Panel Four

                Side scroll view as she floors it down the city street on her vespa. She passes a parked cop car. One of the police officers spits out his coffee.

                                SFX- Vroooooommm

                                Karen Cap- Feel the speed releasing your stress. Woosah.

                Panel Five

                Same view, different scenery to show the progression. She’s pulled over and the cops are writing her a ticket.

                                Karen Cap- This day is such bullshit…

Page Five

Panel One          

She pulls up outside her apartment on her vespa. It is night now. Her apartment looks like a New York Brownstone. On the door to her apartment there is a pink eviction notice.

                Karen Cap- Finally home.

Panel Two

She takes off her helmet and holds it in her hands as she looks to the side at her apartment door. She’s calmer now. Her face has regained its composure.

                Karen Cap- We just go inside kick back. Farm some gold. Farm till our eyes bleed. Cause selling gold is going to be my only income for awhile…

Panel Three

Her face freaks the out. Like “WTF?” Her eyes widen in shock and her mouth is agape.

                Karen Cap- What the @#$# is that???

Panel Four

This is a tight shot of just the pink eviction notice taped to the door. Show the address numbers; 669, but have the nine swing down hanging by its tail upside down so it reads, 666.

                Karen-  Eviction notice? What the #@#@ man…

Panel Five

She loses it again, overcome with anger and crushes the notice in her hand.

                Karen- That little shit didn’t pay his half of the rent before he peaced out?!?

                Karen Cap- All will be well Karen. Just get inside.

Page Six

                Panel One

She makes her way inside the apartment to a foyer. She ascends the stair case and opens another door.

                Karen Cap- Just leave reality, all this bad mojo and all the-

                Karen- bullshit!

                Karen Cap- behind.

Panel Two

She opens the front door and turns on the lights to see a very bare living room. The only thing left is a floor lamp in the corner, some bras on the floor and a desk with her desktop pc on it. Her eyes narrow but she keeps a straight face.

                Karen- There is nothing left that can surprise me today.

Panel Three

She sits her helmet down on her desk on top of a past due electric bill and pulls out a chair to sit down. The focus of this panel should be on the electric bill. It should be a close shot that only really needs to include her hand putting down the helmet and the other pulling out the chair.

                Karen- Least he had the decency to leave my tower alone.

Panel Four/Five/Six

These are small panels. Her hand pushing the power button to the desktop.

Panel Five

Her hand pushing the power button to the desktop.

                Karen- Okay…?

Panel Six

She jams her finger into the power button with considerable force.

                Karen- What the #@%$?!

Panel Seven

She turns the desktop around to find the power supply unit is missing.

                Karen- That SOB took my PSU?

Panel Eight

She takes the cover off to find her entire desktop has been gutted.

                Karen- He took everything!?!?!?

Page Seven

                Panel One

The desktop tower is flying through the window. Should be a beautiful scene of destruction shattered glass from the window should still be in panel falling.

                SFX- Crrrrrasssssssh!

Panel Two

She’s standing with her body still in the position from the throw in the center of the living room floor. She angry and breathing hard as if physically venting her outrage.

Karen Cap- Okay, in hindsight- that wasn’t really the best idea.

Panel Three

Panel is totally black.

                SFX(Karen)- Sigh.

Panel Four

This panel is still mostly black. Light from her cell phone starts glowing in her pocket. It adds a little light around her leg revealing some details but very little.

                Karen- This better be Morpheus with that red pill.

Panel Five

She’s holding the phone in her hand. Phone should show the following messages (top to bottom); KNovak@odatron.net -Subject: no subject, ECECO Energy- Subject: Your Bill is Past Due, Premier Reality MMORPG- Subject: Cosmochick69 Wants to Be Your Friend.  The panel should focus on the phone.

                Karen- KNovak@odatron?

                Karen Cap- Kate?

Page Eight

                Panel One

                Karen throws a few things in a duffle bag, clothes and toiletries, using the flashlight app on her phone to see. The app light is a substantial lightsource.

                                Email Cap- Karen it’s me, Kate. I know we haven’t spoken in a long time. Since I left.

                Panel Two

                Karen grabs some game cases, a Dreamcast looking console with controllers, and a Pandora Construct book and puts it in a book bag.

                                Email Cap- And I’m sorry about that. But I really need your help and you’re the only one who can help me.

                Panel Three

                It’s the dead of night now. Karen is sitting on her parked Vespa with the back loaded up with her bags. She puts on her helmet and goggles. In the distance behind her there is a black four door sedan with black tinted windows.

                                Karen- Kate, what the hell have you gotten into?

                Panel Four

                Karen pulls off and the black sedan follows her. The emphasis in this panel should be on the sedan, a subtle emphasis.

                                Email Cap- It’s not safe to give the specifics through this email.

                Panel Five

                Karen rolls into the Lincoln Tunnel, traffic is light. The tunnel is the star of this panel. It should be showcased along with the scenery.

                                Email Cap- Just come to my apartment in Solheim and I’ll explain everything.

                                Karen Cap- Solheim, the city of tomorrow. I’ve heard of it. Revolutionary city with revolutionary tech. Top notch nextgen shit. GPS says its 1 day and 13 hours.

                Panel Six

                Same view as previous panel only with the black sedan entering the tunnel behind Karen.

                                Email Cap- Please Karen. You’re my only hope.

                                Karen Cap- The Star Wars esque closing is what really got me out the door.

Page Nine

                Full Page Panel- Karen arrives outside the city limits and gazes upon Solheim. It’s daytime. The city skyline is clear and it’s massive. Solheim looks like a sci fi city, a cross between Coruscant and the New York from the Fifth Element during the day. (It looks like Coruscant and Vegas at night.) The city itself is inside a massive outer wall just like the city of Troy.

                Setting Cap- Solheim, Utah- 2 days and 12hrs later…

                Karen Cap- Solheim, Utah. Sparkling city amidst the sand, plains and Mormons.

                Karen- Holy shit. Okay… I’m impressed.

Page Ten

                Panel One

                Karen drives through town admiring the high level tech. Show her watching a holo-message between a woman and her boss in the park. The woman has like a holo-screen tablet. The vehicles on the street are more futuristic too.

                Panel Two

                Karen leans back to continue catching a glimpse of the holo-conversation, amazed and mouth agape.

                                Karen- They’ve got holoterminals???

                Panel Three

                Karen and her vespa pull up onto the sidewalk in front of a building that looks like it was plucked straight off of a motherboard.

                                Karen- This looks like the place.

                Panel Four

                Her helmet is resting in her hands, goggles still on, as she stares up at the new age building.

                                Karen- This thing has more in common with the chipset on an MBoard than a building. Must take mad gold to live here.

Page Eleven

                Panel One

                The view of this panel should be an angle from above. Karen steps off an elevator on the 14^th floor. Her goggles are still on her face.  As she steps off she turns to look down the hall. Behind her is a large window. The angle should allow a view of her vespa parked out front and the black sedan pulling up behind it (the vespa).

                Panel Two

                Karen knocks on door 1417. There is a lever mechanism that you find in most hotels, but no key hole. There is a fingerprint scanner.

                Karen- 1417. This is it.

                Panel Three

                Zoom in on the fingerprint scanner pad. It has a red light glowing on it.

                                Karen-No answer. Hmmm. I wonder.

                Panel Four

                                Same panel as previous shot with Karen pressing her thumb on the scanner. The light on the scanner is now green.

                                SFX- Deet Deet

                Panel Five

                Karen steps into an apartment completely devoid of personality. The walls are white; there is no couch, no furniture, just a huge wooden sword, a desk and a laptop on it that’s plugged into the wall.

                                Automated Voice- Welcome Home Karen.

                                Karen- Geez, Kate. Looks a lot like my spot did.

Page Twelve

                Panel One

                Karen reaches for the large wooden sword mounted on the wall. She has a grin on her face. She’s surprised and happy.

                                Karen- I can’t believe she still has this…

                Panel Two

                This panel is identical to the previous, except Karen has a subtle surprised look on her face; her reaction to the sudden arrival of the men that have been tailing her.

                                MIB1- Don’t move.

                                Karen Cap- Oh, @#$@.

                Panel Three

                Two men in black suits and shades, think agents from the Matrix or the MIB, stand in the doorway. One has a silenced gun pointed at her the other is putting on a pair of disposable gloves. The guy with the gun has a grin on his face, holding his chin up.

                                MIB1- Option One: Cooperate and this’ll go smoothly. Easy.

                                MIB2 (with the gun)- Option Two: You don’t want Option Two.

                                MIB1- Where’s the DG-IX?

                                Karen Cap- What did you get me into Kate?

                Panel Four

                Karen has her hands in the air, she’s distressed. The MIB with the gun steps forward with his gun extended. He’s irritated.

                                Karen- I… I don’t know what that is.

                                MIB2- Bullshit. You drove 2,000 miles to get here without a moment’s notice! You know what we want!

                                MIB1- Don’t play coy with us Ms. Novak. My partner can be very trigger happy. Now tell us where your sister hid the DG-IX!

                Panel Five

                Zoom shot of Karen’s face, primarily her eyes. Her eyes are looking off to where the wooden sword rests on the wall.

                               Karen Cap- They’re not gonna let me walk out of here. Even If I could give them what they wanted.

                               Karen Cap- What if they’ve done something with Kate?!

                               Karen- I have to get out of here!

Page Thirteen

                Panel One

                Karen snatches the wooden sword off of the wall and bashes the MIB with the gun in the head really hard. She puts her whole soul into it; you can see it in her face. He buckles from the force.

                               SFX-  (sword impact) Crack!

                               MIB2- Ommph!

                Panel Two

                She baseball slides pass the MIB still in the doorway, with the sword in hand. He reaches out to grab her as if she was still at full height.

                              MIB1- You won’t escape!

                              Karen- #$%# that!

                              Karen Cap- Mirror’s Edge FTW.

                Panel Three

                MIB with the gun is leaning out the doorway bearing his teeth and fires off two shots at the fleeing Karen down the hall. Emphasis more on the MIB.

                             MIB2- That bitch is dead!

                             SFX- (silenced gunshots)Ffft! Ffft!

                Panel Four

                This shot is from outside the window. Karen cuts the corner. One bullet goes whizzing through her hair. Both bullets go through the hallway window.

                              SFX- (bullets passing through glass) Pssh! Pssh!

                Panel Five

                MIB1 (without the gun) slams MIB2’s gun against the wall.

                              MIB1- No! We need her alive remember?! She can’t lead us to the DG if she’s dead!

Page Fourteen

                Panel One

                Karen darts out of a hallway into another hallway at a cross road. She looks lost. There is an exit sign on the ceiling toward the bottom of the panel. She still has the sword.

                                 Karen- Shit. I’m lost.

                Panel Two

                Same panel, but MIB1 emerges from a hallway at the top of the panel. Karen turns her head to see him.

                                MIB1- I’ve got ‘er. Northeast corridor.

                                Karen- @#$#%!

                                Karen Cap- @#$#%!

                Panel Three

                Karen is running frantically down the hall with MIB1 chasing her. Their positions in the panel are; Karen, mid and MIB1 rear.

                Panel Four

                Same panel. They are closer to the foreground now. MIB1 is practically on top of Karen reaching out for her.

 What got you into cosplay? I always loved dressing up. Even though i was a tom-boy I still had to have coordinated clothing, matching shoes, socks, and dress down to a tee. When I was 10 I learned to sew and my first cosplay was Princess jamine from Aladdin lol

I love that I dont have to be the best to love what I'm doing. Its fun, its an escape from reality, and while its expensive at times - its healthy in my perspective. The best part is getting little kids running up to me asking for a photo, that always makes my day

Top Ten WORST Christmas Specials and Movies

Christmas time is the most traditional time of the year for many of us. Putting up the tree, buying presents at the last possible second, talking to relatives you may or may not like, we go through the same motions every year. It's a Christmas miracle that we can keep it up, but those aren't the only traditions we follow. For many of us, we grew up on the Christmas special.

As if we needed more reminders of the holiday, TV stations felt the need to create more and more Christmas stories for us to consume, whether they be adaptations of old stories like the told-too-often A Christmas Carol, current franchises ripping off those old stories, or creating bizarre Christmas-themed episodes from scratch. Some of these manage to be good, heart-warming tales that imbue the audience with the joy of the holidays, but more often than not they end up being unholy abominations. For the past three weeks, I've been digesting both the best and worst of the Christmas specials. To save you some time, the best specials are The Muppets Family Christmas, Peewee's Christmas Special, and The Venture Bros Christmas. Go watch those, but avoid these at all costs unless you want to become as curmudgeonly as Scrooge. These are the worst of the worst, the coal so dirty even Santa wouldn't give to the naughty kids, it's the Top Ten WORST Christmas Specials and Movies!

10) Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad: "Do Not Reboot Until Christmas"

One of the laziest plots in Christmas-based TV episodes is the "villain wants to destroy Christmas" plot. Now the original Grinch short managed to pull this plot off rather well, but whenever a cartoon with a supervillain does a Christmas episode, they'll often shoehorn a hatred of Christmas into the character to create conflict. Dishonorable mentions that use this plot include the Super Mario Super Show, Inspector Gadget, and The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. The reason why SSSS makes the list and not them is because the creators of the show felt the need to pad it out to two episodes. Yes, this is a two-episode Christmas special, and the entire thing is padded out to accomplish this. Bad acting and effects are par for the course for this show, but when you add in a stupid plot about a virus infecting presents because the whiny kid villain hates Christmas and barely show any fighting, you get an annoying mess of nothing. 

9) The Flintstones Christmas Carol

There are two Christmas stories that are always re-used for TV shows: It's a Wonderful Life and A Christmas Carol. There were a couple Wonderful Life episodes I considered putting on the list, such as Tiny Toons Christmas and It's a Very Merry Muppets Christmas Movie, but the Christmas Carol stuff was just so much worse. I debated putting Disney's A Christmas Carol here, mostly for its creepily bad motion-capture of Jim Carrey, but I could at least see why some people might like that movie. This has no reason to exist at all. This is actually the SECOND Flintstones Christmas special to made, the first one being about Fred Flinstone having to replace Santa Claus when the old Saint falls off Fred's roof and injures himself. Yep, it was The Santa Clause before Tim Allen was even a thing. It's also bad, but the Flintstones Christmas Carol manages to be worst by playing A Christmas Carol straight, with the only variations being that it's a play performed by the main characters and they're all mad at Fred for being an asshole. Oh, and rock puns like Jacob MARBLEy. Here's the thing about Flintstones: they're not funny. They know only one joke and that's replacing modern day technology with caveman technology, and in some cases they don't bother at all and throw in a CB radio and the Kremlin. Even ignoring the obvious fact that Christmas wouldn't be a thing in the Stone Age, these specials are just a mess. The Christmas Carol manages to be worse for being yet another lazy Christmas Carol story padded out for an hour.

8) How The Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)

I'm still weirded out by the amount of people who like this movie, let alone think it's good. Nothing about this movie works. The set designs are ugly, the costuming is terrifyingly bad, and it completely misses the point of the original story. The point of the Hoos is that they love Christmas despite the presents. They celebrate it for the merriment and the getting together of family and community. But for some reason the creators of this movie didn't know that, because the Hoos of this world place material wealth and gain over everything else. Now, you could make a story about people being obsessed with presents and forgetting the family aspect of the holiday, but this is the wrong setting for it. The first half of the movie is invented completely from scratch to try and make the Grinch as sympathetic as possible and make the Hoos look like assholes, but then they actually get to the part where the Grinch steals Christmas, and the Hoos suddenly decide that Christmas isn't about boxes and bows. It's a hollow, mean, ugly, cynical movie, and not at all what Dr. Seuss would want. Stick to the classic Chuck Jones animated special.

7) Rudolph and the Island of Misfit Toys

Someone actually made a sequel to the Rankin-Bass Rudolph special, but they decided it needed to be done in shitty CGI. To some people the original stop-motion cartoon was creepy and poorly animated, but it's Redline by comparison. None of the animation looks finished; many of the characters lack textures or just stand around staring at you with their soulless eyes. The Bumble is now terrifying for all the wrong reasons. The bad animation alone would earn it a place on this list, but it also has a crappy story on top of that, as well as some of the worst songs to assault your ears. Even though Rudolph managed to become a loved celebrity in the previous story, he's fed up with being appreciated for his red nose and wants to get rid of it. So yes, this is a movie about Rudolph wanting to get a nose job. The Island of Misfit Toys comes back into play when someone called the Toy Taker, voiced by Rick Moranis in one of his last acting roles, starts stealing all of the misfit toys. Nothing about this is compelling enough to fill out an hour of story, and the animation and songs just make the whole experience painful.

6) The Family Circus Christmas

I was surprised to discover that there was a Family Circus cartoon to begin with. I can see why it was buried. This is an animated special from 1979, though the animation is so amateur you'd swear it was older. I've seen motion comics with more fluid animation. Many of the characters have missing frames of animation, to the point that it looks like the whole cartoon was put together using coloring book pages. But like Rudolph, it as a crappy story to go along with its crappy animation, but this is one messed-up story. Jeffy starts seeing Santa Claus, who appears to him as a ghostly outline. That alone is disturbing, but Jeffy starts believing that Santa can bring his dead grandfather back from Heaven for Christmas. Family Circus has always been a Christian-influenced story, what with Bil Keane being an open Roman Catholic, but Jeffy's incapability to understand death is not handled well. His sibling tease him about it, his mom half-heartedly tries to convince him Santa can't resurrect the dead, but lo and behold Jeffy's wish becomes true, and his grandfather's ghost comes back on Christmas day. Of course, no one else but Jeffy sees him. The cartoon's attempt to show this in a warmhearted light just doesn't work, because either Jeffy needs severe mental help or he's a master of necromancy. Oh, and if you want to know why Santa knows when you're sleeping, it's because he's a ghost in your room. Now isn't that the image you see when you think of holiday cheer?

5) Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas

At least the 2000 Grinch can't be accused of ruining the original story. As bad as it is, it's an adaptation with its own continuity. Disney, on the other hand, just loves to make unnecessary continuations of their beloved movies, and one of those sequels was a Christmas story. Well, sequel's a bit of a strong term. While the film is established to take place after the Beast is freed of the curse, most of the movie is told in a flashback that happens during Belle's captivity. Now, I should say this doesn't ruin the original Beauty and the Beast. That film stands perfectly fine on its own, and this film is so bad it shouldn't be considered actual canon. But this film really doesn't understand its characters, and considering that they're characters from a good movie, that's just aggravating. People have joked about Belle suffering from Stockholme Syndrome, but in this movie that actually is what happens. The only character trait that Belle seems to have in this is that she wants to make the Beast happy at all costs, and the Beast in this acts like an emo teenager who lashes out at everything for no good reason. Only a hack would think the characters actually work like and have no depth or complexity, and because these traits of flanderized, it removes the romantic aspect of their relationship and turns it into a creepy sadomasochistic one. There's a new villain invented for the film, a pipe organ by the name of Forte voiced by Tim Curry. Huh, two bad Christmas specials with Tim Curry on this list. I'm sensing a pattern here. The villain's lame; his motivation is to keep everyone in the castle cursed so he can sooth the beast with his song forever, which contradicts his desire to move because he's strapped down to the floor because of his new pipe organ form. The animation's sub-par, the songs suck, the characters are all wrong, and the villain is weak. Nothing about this works, and it's all the more awful for roping in a good movie into the mess.

Also, how did this get a blu-ray release? WTF Disney?

4) We Wish You A Turtles Christmas

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH! Why are so many of these Christmas specials so terrifying? I've screamed at more of these specials than I have at Halloween specials, and those are supposed to be scary. Once again, it's the terrible design that really damns this thing. The turtle costumes in this are just cheap, but what makes them terrifying is their constantly exposed teeth and soulless blinking eyes. How did we go from the awesome Jim Henson costumes from the 1990 movie to this? Thankfully this is only 20 minutes, but it's 20 minutes of creepy turtle costumes singing terrible renditions of classic Christmas carols with inserted pizza jokes. There's really nothing else to talk about here, because that's all there is to this special and it's all bad. It can't get creepier than this, can it?

3) Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: "Alpha's Magical Christmas"

Whyyyyy? Like the Turtles Christmas, it's just characters from the show singing Christmas songs, but it has the extra bonus of Alpha and Zordon kidnapping children from across the world to help them decorate for the holidays and kill your ears with their off-key singing. What's wrong with Alpha and Zordon? They're supposed to be protectors of the earth, and yet they kidnap children and force them to labor against their will. The Power Rangers make a brief appearance with Santa Claus, but other than that it's just Alpha and the kids singing while you contemplate gifting yourself a shotgun to the face.

2) Star Wars Holiday Special

Do I really need to elaborate on this one? Hasn't everyone already talked about how this is the worst Christmas special ever? Well, I've found one worse, but before I talk about it, I'd like to ask how many people have actually seen this thing. The best way to sum this up is that it's 90 minutes of wookies watching bad TV. That's it, and it's completely dull to watch. There are some creepy highlights, such as the old wookie jacking off to a porno of a human woman, and there's an animated segment featuring the debut of Boba Fett, but everyone knows that at this point. I doubt many people have actually sat through the whole thing, because you'd have to be crazy to do so. Wait...

Point is, the Star Wars Holiday Special is bad and we don't need to talk about it anymore. The sooner we bury it, the better.

1) The Nutcracker: The Untold Story

Ho-ly shit. This movie is not merely bad, it is offensively bad. It's rare that I'm offended by a movie. Merely being dull, annoying, and incompetent is not enough to offend me, just anger me or even make me laugh if it hits the right amount of bad. But then this movie came along. First aired at the European Film Market in 2009 and later released this year in Hungary and the UK, this was a huge financial and critical bomb, earning the rare 0 percent rotten rating from Rotten Tomatoes and making back only 16 million of its 90 million dollar budget. I don't think I can really sum up this film well enough to describe just how awful it is, and how awful I felt watching it. I watched this with a group of friends, as I did with the rest of the specials on this list, and we all claimed it was the worst movie we'd ever watched, and we've sat through some truly bad stuff. I could list the simple stuff; the acting's bad, the special effects are bad, basically nothing works. That's the case for all of these specials. What puts this movie at the top is bizarre need to insert Holocaust imagery into its story. Yes, the Rat King is basically Hitler and the rats are all Nazis in this adaptation of the Nutcracker. What possessed the director to turn this innocent ballet into a hateful fever dream? As an added insult, the original Nutcracker songs that appear in the film have added lyrics, and Albert Einstein makes an appearance just to further hammer in the hateful WWII allegories. I do not recommend watching this movie, not even as a curiosity. Everyone in our Christmas group felt awful for days, and the mere mention of the movie would cause us to cringe. It may deserve the title of worst movie period, but it certainly deserves the title of worst Christmas movie ever made.

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season, preferably by avoiding these specials. Special thanks to the people who sat through this bile with me! You guys made this list possible.
