Amazing! The Sci-Fi Channel did something right!!

Mike "Creator of Hellboy" Mignola's The Amazing Screw-On Head was a bizarre little one-shot comic that was weird, even for him. It told the story of Screw-On Head, a robotic secret agent with interchangable bodies working for Abraham Lincoln, and his battle versus the evil Emperor Zombie.

It was awesome.

The Sci-Fi Channel recently made an equally weird half-hour animated special out of it, with the potential for a series, I think. It is possibly even more awesome, thanks to Paul Giamatti and David Hyde Pierce lending their vocal talents to Screw-On Head and Emperor Zombie, respectively.

You can watch the whole episode online here. Watch it. Love It. Fill out the survey and ask for more.

"You're getting too familiar..."
"... Ask politely?"
"... Let's not have the Oval Office smelling like burnt hair."

Good dialogue, and completely surreal. Groovy.

If you're looking for just a little more to put into a candy posting, check out the list of allergens the Smarties manufacturers assure you the candies don't contain. (If nothing at least raises an eyebrow, I'll send you my package.)
