Ghoul A Go-Go recently began running on Manhattan Neighborhood Network (NYC cable TV - channels 56/108), Sundays at 7:30pm. It also currently airs on LTV in East Hampton, and WVVH on the east end of L.I.
GAGG should be running on most (or all) cable access stations in Suffolf county come spring 2004.

While it is a cable access show, we keep the production values high and put in an extra effort to produce an unusually fun and unique program. We describe it as a Monster Musical Kiddie Show, or, The Maddest Program Ever Shown! Here's our website: www.ghoulagogo.com

Ghoul A Go-Go is a half-hour, black and white, early 60s-styled kiddie dance party show hosted by a vampire and a hunchback. Along with their friend The Invisible Man, Vlad and Creighton play 50s & 60s rock n' roll novelty records for the kids to dance to; welcome at least one live band every show; show vintage films, commercials, and music shorts; and hawk cold cuts for their sponsors, Hickleberry's Meat Products.

We've been producing the shown on Long Island for over two years, and in that time have gotten an overwhelmingly positive response. Our fans include Lux Interior and Poison Ivy of The Cramps, Eddie Angel of Los Straitjackets and The Neanderthals (who've appeared on the show), everyone at Something Weird Video (Ghoul A Go-Go has begun to appear on their DVDs as bonus features), and the organizers of horror conventions like the Chiller Theatre Expo, Monster-Mania Con, and the Monster Bash.

We've gotten wonderful notices in Fangoria, Psychotronic Video, Shock Cinema, The New Island Ear, as well as on several DVD review websites and cult film message boards. Interviews with Vlad and Creighton have appeared in Carbon 14, Fancy, on www.candyforbadchildren.com , and will soon appear in 1313 Magazine and Horror Biz.

We were also interviewed (again, in character) for an upcoming independent documentary on the classic horror hosts, American Scary.

Vlad and Creighton also appear in the independent rock n' roll comedy It's a Haunted Happenin'.

Ghoul A Go-Go is a participant in a particularly unique phenomenon called The Horror Host Underground Network. www.horrorhosts.com It's a network of active horror hosts around the country who have combined forces to self-syndicate their shows. Through the HHU, our show has aired in 10 markets in 7 different states!

Slack Pack

We live a life of decadent suburban boredom here on Long Island. Our youth is a panoramic display of backyards, shopping centers, highways, $6,000 cars with $20,000 of needless machinery put into them. One can succumb to the monotonous “cliques” representative of youth today, complete with their very own uniform, or one can take the high road, being a creative outsider in hopes of building a community. In Fall 1996, Peter Bune and Justin Hertz, both working as Student Teachers at a local high school collaborated with their mutual friend Mike “Grozny” Gross and decided to deal with suburban hell by having fun with it. They began to write and shoot skits using their own homes, towns, parks, and any backdrop they could find or sneak onto. On March 5th, 1997, the first episode of Slacker TV aired.

Mention that first few episodes to current members of the Slack Pack and you ’re likely to hear one or more of them groan in embarrassment, however, despite the outdated technology and the “no-budget” production value, some semi-quasi-classic skits came out of there such as, “The Pudding Skit”, “Pictionary”, “NO!: The Movie”, and “Running Gay Guy”. Grozny departed soon after completion of the first episode in order to join the army. A quick and vital replacement was found in Sean King, better known as his alter-ego, Tommy X. King had been involved with previous comedy and horror filmmaking groups, and his personality fit in perfectly with the rest of the group.

Despite the early local success of Slacker TV, the shows’ production began to lag due to Hertz attending college down in Gainesville, Florida. Hertz’s leaving was even used as a plot device in the episodes 5 & 6 of the series!
With such a vital component of the show away for most of the year, Slacker TV began to rely more and more on friends turned makeshift actors including, Mitch Steinberg, Jamie Frevele, Jacob Stebel, Matt Orphan, and most importantly, Mike Koscik to pick up the slack (pun semi-intended).

Mike Koscik, better known by his stage name as the front man of local Punk Band 48 in the Basement, Mike Ulser had been featured in bit parts in all previous Slacker TV episodes, both as himself and his fictitious evil twin brother, Ben Ulser. This natural camaraderie between Koscik and Slacker TV, solidified by the fact 48 in the Basement wrote and performed the show’s theme song, led to Mike Ulser being integrated as the 4th principal member of the Slack Pack, a lineup that has remained consistent to the present day.

With a growing community of friends, fans, and supporters, Slacker TV was able to increase the scope of its production, often integrating movie parodies, music videos supporting local music, and large shoots featuring everything from party scenes to epic battle scenes within a single 28 minute, commercial-free episode. Select episodes that featured a grander storyline instead of the usual grouping of skits were named “Suburbia Chronicles” and set the stage for Slacker TV’s evolution.

After a very successful Long Island International Film Expo screening of 4 such “Suburbia Chronicles”, including a hilarious 2 part Return of the Jedi parody, Sick Boy (Bune), Tommy X, Hertz, and Mike Ulser decided to dedicate their efforts to making episodes in a short film/sitcom format.

In early 2001, Peter Bune directed his first Slacker TV related short film, created with full collaboration with Tommy X and Mike Ulser. Titled Bored, the film told a darkly funny tale of 2 friends who stalk their ex-girlfriends. Quickly finishing and airing all remaining skit based episodes and old projects, Slacker TV was able to end its awkward adolescent years and emerge as The Slack Pack.

More than just a name and format change, The Slack Pack has improved drastically in its production value, now using digital video cameras and digital editing techniques. After years of collaboration and a newfound dedication to creating quality short films and features, The Slack Pack was able to produce their best works to date, and in much shorter time intervals than previously lapsed between episodes. Among the episodes under The Slack Pack moniker includes: “The Cookie Syndicate”, a 2-parter entitled “Where My Dogs At”, a tale of hilariously misplaced affection called “Cupid’s Stupid”, and a TV edit of “Bored”.

Amidst all of these accomplishments and constant production, The Slack Pack has spent nearly 2 years working on their first feature length film, entitled “The Freaks, Nerds, and Romantics”. Starring Mike Koscik and Sean King, and directed/co-written by Peter Bune, production on this feature has been by far the greatest challenge facing The Slack Pack. Production is expected to conclude with a shorter version being released in mid 2004.
