The Mooch Minute



The Mooch Minute

Decemeber 16,2010

by - The Mooch

Well, interest has been high about the new show...which is great. I guess from my stand point, the nerves are starting to twitch, you know...the bubble guts.

When we started Late Night at the Horror Hotel we had nothing to lose, we were new so failure would be easy to accept. Not that we are popular, award winning or even winners at this point, but we still made some waves since March. This time around, we are doing something much different, so I look at it as a bigger challenge. We are working on this new show, writing, directing and editing is all on us.

Lately, I feel like I have been on Kevin Smith overload, hey....we each find our own motivation differently. His style of films, from jokes to content just fit my current mindset. While writing, I look for the potty humor, the things that people over look and what doesn't matter to almost everyone...matters to me. Kinda weird, could be me hitting 40 this year, but my train of thought seems to be reverting backwards...haha. Very childish.

Anyways, as we embark on another weekend of filming....let's see where this road leads us. Hopefully, anyone that enjoyed Late Night will now take a look at NecroCOMICon.....we are trying to give you something different, yet fimilar...if that makes sense.

Say....can I borrow $5???

Pig and Mooch Podcast - "Epic Fail" launches in January

Pig and Mooch Podcast - "Epic Fail" launches in January

Is it possible to self promote yourself anymore? Can Mooch (played by Rob Dimension) and Pigamortis (voiced by Sal Valente) whore themselves in any other forms of media? With NecroCOMICon TV getting ready to launch, the duo is under the impression that people want to hear more from them….well; maybe they are on to something......Enter - EPIC FAIL

What on Earth would a Mooch and Pig even discuss on EPIC FAIL?

They are glad you asked:

• Movie reviews – All kinds of Films (let them watch and review your film)

• Gaming – aspects of Gaming (from Dungeons & Dragons to Collectible Card games, even Video Games)

• Comics – from what titles they like and what they don’t like

• Opinions on Life – wow…really? We recommend not taking their Life lessons into consideration

• War on Words – known as part-time Cyber Bullies.... what will happen when they vent and let loose?

Dimension had this to say “It’s basically Nerd talk 101, except we are full of shit. Like all nerds, we are under the belief that our opinion matters, when in fact…it doesn’t. "We find some things funny, that others don’t…..so I am expecting a Train wreck”, Valente quickly added.

Kim Dimension who is a new character, Demonica on the NecroCOMICon show, added “Their sense of humor is warped and twisted. They have no filter.” “They enjoy pushing the envelope when they can. This will give people a better idea of what we (Kim and I) have to deal with when shooting the Tv/Web series" says Alicia Still, who works on production and helps with publicity.

When asking Valente on format for the podcast, we were greeted with this answer “We don’t really have a format, we are just gonna ramble and see what comes out”. Sounds like a well laid out plan…..ummm, not really. Look for this Train wreck available on www.NecroCOMIContv.com starting in January.

Demonica shows that Demons can be Fan Girls - 1st glimpse

Demonica on the set of the new show "NecroCOMICon TV" takes a minute to check out Hack/Slash. This demon has said she will be writing reviews for the site and looks forward to meeting everyone. Wanna she what she is reading now? Join her fan page on Facebook - Demonica from NecroCOMICon Tv.

Late Night Goes GEEKY!!!

Late Night goes Geeky

Hey guys, we wanted to give you guys the inside track to everything that is happening here at Late Night at the Horror Hotel. If you notice, we have slowed down a bit, not just on our site but, with even turning out new episodes. Many are wondering…are you guys dead? Where are you? So, let me answer:

Since March of this year (2010), Late Night at the Horror Hotel, an idea that became a TV show, reached into 23 states, showing 11 episodes, countless sketch/skit promos and making plenty of waves at Conventions and more. Quite honestly, we still felt that we are missing the bus…we want more. The question is: How do you reach more?

Sal Valente, the man behind the voice of Pigamortis and I, Rob Dimension wanted to reach a larger audience, plus incorporate more into the show. We are both, in reality, nerds…besides Horror, we like comics, gaming and science fiction. While Horror is our #1 love, we feel that currently there's a lot of talent out there in the Horror Host world and we want expand on that universe . We have decided that we want a 22 minute tv/web series that can bring you into the life of geeks. We just feel it fits us better.

Still sticking with the Horror theme, don’t worry horror fans….We aren’t abandoning you, we created a new show titled “NecroCOMICon”. The series takes place in a comic shop, dealing with normal issues plus of course, the outrageous. Leaving Mooch and Pigamortis in charge of the protection of the Necronomicon sounds like a great idea on paper….but, Jeb and Demonica will have their hands full keeping things safe. You just NEVER know who will be in to buy this week’s newest Comics or try to destroy the Universe.

NecroCOMIContv.com will debut in January and we will be doing reviews of comics and games, plus movies. There is a storyline in each episode, much like Late Night at the Horror Hotel offered, and we will be including some Classic Throwback Tv commercials into every show. Special guests are already in the works and we are hoping you will tune in.

This is all the details I can give right now………..I know, not very much, but we will be targeting Comic cons as well as Horror Cons…sound good? We think so too. In 2010 we put Late Night to bed and in 2011 we awaken NecroCOMICon TV....

Thanks – Rob and Sal

Mysterious Logo appears yesterday - NecroCOMICon?

So, Dimension yesterday posted this logo on his Facebook yesterday and is staying tight-lipped about what it is. When asked, he had this to say "NecroCOMICon will be revealed more into next week."


After some high tech detective work, this super slueth was able to find this website -
http://www.necrocomicontv.com/

I do know that the guys have been writing some Season 2 stuff, so maybe this has something to do with that. Guess we will have to wait and see.

Enjoy the Holiday - Eat plenty!!
