Inhaltsangabe

Master of mirthful mayhem, Matt Groening, meets the monsters of rock (Alice Cooper, Gene Simmons, and Rob Zombie) in a heavy metal, Halloween-inspired rock 'n' roll odyssey of head-banging, tongue-wagging, dead-raising fright and frivolity. Ever "Mr. Nice Guy" Pat Boone gets in a "metal mood" with a twisted tale of dastardly demons and righteous redemption. From donut batter to ghoulish splatter, you'll be tricked and treated to a chaotic comic collection chock-full of thunder-clapping hell spawn, chainsaw-toting monkeys, televisions run amuck, bible camp ghost stories, lime-flavored squishee monsters, toilets of the damned, vampire tombs, the evil eye, and a very special tribute to EC Comics, the forebears of witty horror and suspense comic storytelling. It's the Halloween jam of the century that'll blow your mind and rock your soul!

Get your grave on with Matt Groening's gigglishly gruesome and hellaciously hilarious comic collection of Halloween humor.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Matt Groening, creator and executive producer of Fox s Emmy Award-winning series The Simpsons, made television history by bringing animation back to primetime and creating an immortal nuclear family. The longest running primetime animated series in television history and currently the longest-running comedy on television, in May 2007 The Simpsons aired their historic 400th episode. On July 27, 2007, the long-awaited feature film The Simpsons Movie opened in theatres and to-date has grossed almost $500 million worldwide. Groening served as producer and writer throughout the entire four- year production process.

Originally brought to life in 1987 for The Tracey Ullman Show, The Simpsons was Groening s introduction into the television animation world. Previously, he was best known for his Life In Hell cartoon strip, an irreverent portrayal of love, work, school, life and relationships that debuted in 1977, currently appears in more than 250 newspapers worldwide and in a series of books.

Groening s other Emmy Award-winning creation, Futurama, launched on Fox in March 1999 and ran for five seasons. November 2007, Fox releases the direct to DVD full-length original feature Futurama: Bender s Big Score. Three additional films will be released in 2008 and the entire series with new episodes will air on Comedy Central in 2008.

In 1993, Groening formed Bongo Comics Group, where he serves as publisher of the following: Simpsons Comics, Bart Simpson, Radioactive Man Comics, the annual Bart Simpson s Treehouse of Horror, Simpsons Super Spectaclar, Futurama Comics, more than twenty trade paperback comic compilations, and a host of yearly Life in Hell, Simpsons and Futurama calendars.

In addition to the multitude of awards bestowed on his creations (including Emmys, Annies, and the prestigious Peabody Award), in May 2003 Groening was personally honored with the Rueben Award for Outstanding Cartoonist of the Year, the highest honor presented by the Natio
