Super Show
(2008)
(Archaia Studios Press Comic Mini-Series)
review by Catwalk

The Ghouligans are back and this time, it's personal!

Wait, that's wrong, hold on.

The Ghouligans are back for the sweet taste of revenge!

Damn, not it either.

The Ghouligans are back for their senior year!

Oh forget it.

The Ghouligans are the comic creation of The Slack Pack, born out of Long Island public access TV.  (There's the name of your next great mixed cocktail, kids: The Long Island public access Iced Tea.  Hit the forums with your idea for the ingredients).  This crazy cast of B-movie dropouts includes Wolfgang, the party monster (literally), Boris, the burly creation from a mad scientist, Void, the flesh-eating zombie, and Count Farnham, the saddest vampire this side of Transylvania.

The "Ghouligans! Super Show" DVD features the crew's latest comedy TV show, breaking out the Creep-O-Vision to fill viewers with sight gags and goofy dialogue. Join the crew to see all sorts of bad puns and silly situations.  See Boris' foray into frozen seafood.  Watch the Count reminisce about his Fabio-riffic hair, and then break the myth that three chicks are always better than one.

The Ghouligans are never without their share of victims and go-go girls.  This time around, the crew is joined by Luchadors including "The Blue Flame". Drop-in's include fake trailers for films like "Fishing in Action 3".

While Count Farnham continues to degrade himself, Boris shows a naturally flare for cooking.  Void falls in love: "So, do you kill yourself here often?" and Wolfgang, the only Ghouligan with any style points, faces off with Krill Gill in the surf out. The scene is the rightful finale' to the show.

The Ghouligans is the kind of show that requires a love of cheesy horror, familiarity with the classics, and an appreciation for sight-gags and one-liners. The guys repeatedly come up with ways to put themselves into the craziest situations, from wrestlers to talk shows, beaches to bake shows.  Paul Laino's music makes an appropriate return.

Combine gore, go-go girls, and comedic violence, and you've got the perfect concoction for "The Ghouligans! Super Show"!
