It’s Halloween, and that means one thing: blasting your enemies with shaving cream. Or, if you’re from my family and your Mom responds to your request for shaving cream for Halloween shenanigans with a can of Edge gel, dribbling blue-green gack down your forearm while the other kids hose you down with Foamy. My childhood was fucked. But I digress.
Actually, Halloween means horror flicks. And, since this is a comics related Web site, we’ve got a doozy for you, in its glorious entirety: a Toei Animation anime adaptation of Marv Wolfman and Gene Colan’s classic 1970s horror comic The Tomb of Dracula!
You know, provided Marv and Gene had ready access to some primo Afghan hash.
This movie has it all: Dracula! Satan! Aggressive and detailed stonemasonry work! An airport in Boston with parking spaces! And the line that will chill your bones: “Hail Dolores, Pride of Satan!”, which I will be shouting whenever I have an orgasm from here until the end of time.
And, best of all: Dracula eating a cheeseburger.
