The official Facebook Page for Destroy All Movies: The Complete Guide to Punks on Film (an essential film book one should own) has shared a true gem: Glenn Danzigs 1982 fanzine reviews of The Road Warrior, Basket Case, Creepshow and Halloween III: Season of the Witch. As Mad Max: Fury Road anticipation reaches fever pitch, lets look at the Misfits, Samhain and Danzig founders thoughts on its most iconic predecessor, as well as his unfortunate summation of Tommy Lee Wallaces Halloween treasure.
Mad Max was boring but ROAD WARRIOR is the ultimate statement on survival in the not-too-distant future, Danzig declares. The dude is hardcore; a tough talking, Satan celebrating singer, and appropriately, he celebrates Road Warrirors harsher qualities. Plenty of harsh brutality, violence, rape, murder, and death. All the things that await you in post-war life.
Unfortunately, it seems he couldnt get on board with Creepshows horror comics aesthetic, or into Season of the Witchs own weird, occult vibes. Basket Case IS A MUST!!, however.
