A Hearty Hail Satan from Johnny Sweatpants



So check out the all new Horrorthon Monster List which I graciously and painstakingly compiled of almost all of our past reviews (mostly on company time, tee-hee!) Hopefully it will be an invaluable resource for everyone involved in both getting movie ideas and checking to see if a particular film has been written up previously. No longer will we have to use the blogger search engine like frustrated cavemen! Simply click on the author next to the movie title to get the scoop. (And if anyone wants to help maintain or add to the Monster List I'll gladly set you up as an administrator.)

And that's pretty much it – I am now officially accepting thank you's and compliments. The following are perfectly adequate examples.

"Wow Sweatpants! You're awesome = thanks!"
"Cool artwork!"
"I heard you're great in bed, JSP!"
"And if you threw a party and invited everyone you knew – you would see the biggest gift would be from me, JSP!"

Ok, I done gots to go - I'm hopelessly behind in reading, commenting, watching and writing all things horror. Peace. Did I say peace? I meant DEATH TO CHILDREN (except yours of course).

Also I added the link to the Johnny Sweat Shop where the new Horrorthon t-shirts can be purchased. I'm pleased with the design but I wish I had opted for the military green myself.

Octopunk said...

No way!!! NO WAY!!! Oh, MAN, is that awesome! That is soooo awesome! How awesome is that? AWESOME!!!

Holy crap, dude! I thought I was the only one who would ever be crazy enough to accomplish such a thing, and I never even started! Wow! No, I mean it: freakin' WOW!

That is so cool. I will totally co-administrate with you (although my life of late doesn't make that sound too tasty -- I've maybe updated the score site twice this month).

Anyway, nice artwork, and way to be great in bed.

As soon as you described it, I was thinking, "Hell yeah!" I was actually meaning to ask JPX if there was a way to quickly access old reviews (I was just scrolling through past Octobers...yuck).

Then I clicked on the link, and this is way better than I was imagining or than it has any right to be. Totally kickass job, Sweatpants.

Johnny Sweatpants said...

Thanks! I definitely need to give it another sweep because I know I missed a handful but the whole thing can definitely be tweaked and perfected during the off-season.

I know that Octo and possibly JPX posted some horror reviews outside of Oct-Dec. If you remember where and when they are please let me know. I was psyched when I located Octo's kickass Grindhouse review but I couldn't seem to find Jordan's Dawn of the Dead (1977) post.

Landshark said...

Can you imagine how much time is going to be collectively wasted by Horrorthoners now? And we were no slouches in time wasting before...

Johnny, that seems to be a perfectly adequate job performed on your part.

I mean it, that is at least fair to middling.

Seriously, you are quite average in all you do. Congrats.

seriously, there went the last hour of my life. we've all wanted this to come to fruition since forever and now jsp is everyone's sugar baby-honey-daddy. you're the king of the ring and the chief of the bedsheets my friend.

50PageMcGee said...

ps - i totally reviewed satan's little helper

also, my favorite thing was noticing the spots where a whole series was reviewed by one person, especially if that person flew solo for a bunch of it, like octo did with most of the TCM flicks.

and am i seriously the only one to have reviewed the Shining?!

JPX said...

I've been beta-testing this for JSP for the past few days and I can't tell you how invaluable it's been! The link has actually been quietly on Hororthon for 3 days but I wanted JSP to make a formal anouncement - Jesus, JSP, how many dan hours did this take? Nice work, this is just fantastic!

Catfreeek said...

I've been wasting all too much time reading past reviews since yesterday. But hell yeah! I'd even take you out for dinner & drinks if you lived closer. Its better than I imagined and I know it is gonna be put to great use. Love the artwork too.

If you were on Gilligan's Island right now Maryanne would make you a coconut cream pie in appreciation of your hard work.

JPX said...

I know, I've been wasting a lot of time reading old reviews as well! I think it's all part of JSP's plan to distract me from watching movies.

Whirlygirl said...

I already had my wow holy shit this awesome reaction the other day when JPX emailed me the link, but even now I'm still thinking wow holy shit this awesome.

There have been a number of times when I tried using the blogger search box to find a review that I knew existed but it gave me nothing.

Awesome, JSP! You totally deserve that Golden Girls line.

Whirlygirl said...

And I must praise the artwork too.

Fantastic!

Octopunk said...

Like JPX, I'm curious how many Dan hours it took. And how is Dan?

AC said...

yay johnny sweatpants! you're my hero, even more than usual.

Johnny Sweatpants said...

Thanks Miko! Just call me Johnny Six Pack.

JPX - I see your Horrorthon paranoia is up and running again. (Anything that doesn't directly result in him watching horror movies becomes part of the conspiracy. Don't believe me? Try calling him in the evening for a friendly chat.)

Once I was on a roll the obsessiveness took over and it was just a few blurry days.

Octo -Dan's not doing so well these, his leg is acting up again. But he says "hey".

JPX said...

Miko, you've been quiet...

miko564 said...

JPX, yeah, I apologize. The in-laws arrived on Friday from Sweden. The company is losing its freakin mind about the state of the Automotive market, and for some reason the credit card companies are unsympathetic. Blah, blah, blah.

All poor excuses. I should just quit my whining, buy the Swedes horned helmets and allow them to pillage the neighborhood, and get to watching horror movies. I'm fixin' to rally

JPX said...

"I should just quit my whining, buy the Swedes horned helmets and allow them to pillage the neighborhood, and get to watching horror movies. I'm fixin' to rally"

Exactly! You need to go to a hotel for a night for "business" with a stack of DVDs and get crackin'.

How do I start posting on this blog? I've only seen 5 or 6 scary movies this month, so I'm not gonna "win", but I've seen a couple that have never been reviewed, as well as a couple more mainstream films.


Anyway, let me know how I move beyond "commentary" to real authorship status.

By the way, I'm Trevor, Tami's friend - the girl hugging the lego darth vader.

Johnny Sweatpants said...

Trevor - send me your email address to brent.wincze@gmail.com and I'll send you a blog invite.

Sooo late to this party so I will just say,

YOU ROCK, JSP!!!!!
