Monster Model Madness!

This is a DVD cover for long-time Calgary/Toronto musician Lonnie James. Lonnie also has a long-time side interest in psychotronica, which manifests itself in the building and painting of garage kits. His enthusiasm is such that, not only does he do a kick-ass job on his collection of kits, but he's also driven to create his own low-buck cable TV show! In the basement of his home, way the hell out in the nosebleed section of Northwest Calgary, he can be seen in his trademark wrestling mask, ranting and raving about the merrits of Oliver Reed's lycanthropic portrayal in Curse of the Werewolf, or the joys of the Godzilla victory dance in Monster Zero (one of his personal faves). He also composes the cool backing music that accompanies the visuals.

What is odd is that the show was picked up and has been airing in the late night slot on Channel 11 in Enid, Oklahoma! Following the standard marathon of faith-based/miltary/local-interest programming that one might expect to pepper such small market community access stations in the rural U.S. of A., resin replicas of Vampira, Betty Page, Frank, Drac and Haruo Nakajima now parade across the small screen to the delight of all the insomniac Okies...
