“Perhaps There Was an Age Where People Dreamed of the Possibilities in the Outer Space”
A gent named Sleepy Skunk sent me his mash-up of 130 horror movies set to Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Bad Moon Rising” — or at least he tried to, because he accidentally sent me his previous space/alien movie mash-up instead, although I kind of fell in love with it so I’m posting it instead. It’s set to The Killers’ “Human,” a song I genuinely enjoy despite it being phenomenally stupid, and somehow the clips and the music just work perfectly for me. It’s like something a really awesome nerd band might play on-screen at a concert before they go out. Anyways, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did, and if not, whatever. Also, anyone who guesses what my article title is referencing gets 10 bonus points.

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
