Dwarf Star Films Presents STUCK !!!

Wanted to give you all a heads-up on a new film I was involved in called STUCK. It was filmed here in Las Vegas and I got to play a deliciously wicked role in it. Great script by producer/writer Ricky Gray Jr. and directed by local talent Danielle Patton. It also stars Yisrael Dubov and Brad Stein. Currently in post-production, keep your eyes open for this new psychological thriller by Dwarf Star Films. Many thanks to all for casting me and the fun I had working with the cast and crew.

April Fools Frights !!!

I wonder how many of you sickies actually fell for this April Fool's prank? Hahah!!! Courtesy of The Monster Channel of course. Horrible Henry and Mad Marty, the Bone Jangler, and myself - Sicko-Psychotic - all presented classic monsters, but they were public domain versions (e.i. "Count Dracula and His Vampire Brides") heheh. Still, a good time was shared by all. Make sure you tomb into the Monster Channel to watch all of your favorite hosts 24/7. Now available on roku!

Ghosts from the Past !!!

Back when I attended the Los Angeles Theatre Academy, I was often typecast as a young, goody-two-shoes. At the time, that didn't sit well with me since I was seeking to broaden my skills and range as an actor. However, many of the roles I was given were wonderful parts nonetheless. And what was really cool about portraying the role of Edmond Pendergast in "Good Morning Miss Vickers" was that he was a ghost. It was a sign of things to come as I now play the ghoulish television horror host Sicko-Psychotic on the Super Shock Show. What I remember about this production was that I enjoyed working with writer-director Stephen Levi... and oddly enough, I recall much of the stage blocking. The play was published by Samuel French, Inc. and I was credited as Jimmy Childs in the publication. Actress Kristine Alexandria, who I remember fondly, played Ashley Manchester. --- Jim Childs

 

The Gothic Gems of Cliff and Ivy !!!

 

Performing everything from horror punk, electronic industrial goth, experimental poetry, chilling ambient film scores, and interactive theatrics, Alaska's talented goth duo - Cliff and Ivy - take us on a fascinating journey to the darker and wondrous realms of entertainment. With an impressive number of albums and tunes, Cliff and Ivy offer music fans a treasure trove of gothic gems that are available via Cds, vinyl records, and digital downloads through bandcamp...

In 2021... Las Vegas' ghoulish horror host Sicko-Psychotic (a.k.a. Jim Childs) from the Super Shock Show featured their music videos "Reincarnation" (from the CXI 111 album) and "Fossil Fuel" (from the Spirit Room LP) on Sicko-Psychotic's Halloween Music Marathon special, which aired on WBXZ-TV's 56.4 Throwback Television, The Monster Channel (www.TheMonsterChannel.com), and The Vortexx (www.horrorhost.net).

The Bone Jangler's 20th Anniversary Marathon !!!

The Monster Channel and the Eerie Late Night Horror Channel celebrated 2021 with a marathon for the 20th anniversary of horror host The Bone Jangler. It's quite an impressive feat especially when you consider he's been hosting two shows ("The Bone Jangler" and "The Bone Jangler's Daytime Dungeon") at the same time. His love for the genre and his support for the two channels never wavers, so it is not surprising that many of his horror host colleagues dropped in during the marathon to show their appreciation. 

The video above features Sicko-Psychotic giving a toast to the Bone Daddy during the marathon.

A Vortexx of Halloween Reflections in the Key of B !!!

 

Sicko-Psychotic's Halloween Music Marathon: Side B aired on The Vortexx streaming channel on November 6, 2021 right after a re-showing of Side A. It was great to hang out with old friends once again on the website's chatroom during the showing. 

Doing a four-hour special such as this was incredibly challenging, but all of the musicians who participated and allowed me to include their music videos in the program made it all worth while: Angels and Devils; Apology None; Cliff and Ivy; The Cutthroat Brothers; Dali's Llama; The Dev; First Boy on the Moon; Marquis of Vaudeville; Michael Raco-Rands & J. Gust Anderson; Mike Diva; The Mobile Hot Spots; Phyllis Johnson; The Rhythm Coffin; Sheiks of Neptune; The Slow Poisoner; Undadogz; ZombieSuckers; and my horror hosts colleagues Arachna of the Spider People (Alexis Hmielak "I Put a Spell on You"); Crematia Mortem (Roberta Solomon "The Mortem Rap"); Dr. Sarcofiguy (John Dimes "Nosferatu"); and Penny Dreadful (Danielle Gelehrter "Monster Mash").

The entire cast of Sicko-Psychotic's Super Shock Show even paid tribute to Bizarre TV and it's creator, Rhonda Baffes, by performing a musical parody called "Bizarre". It was the first station to pick up the Sicko-Psychotic Show in its original incarnation and introduce us to the strange and wonderful community of horror hosts. Also, it was through Bizarre TV in which I learned about two other talented hosts from Las Vegas... The Sinister Minister (Sean Smith) and Vincent Grimmly (Darren T. Knaus). (Starring Jim Childs as Sicko-Psychotic the King of Ghouls)

Sicko-Psychotic's Return to the Vortexx !!!

 

Although Sicko-Psychotic (Jim Childs) has appeared as a guest, done shout-outs on other hosted shows, and popped up on the Captain Isotope program a couple times, it has been a long spell since a Sicko-Psychotic episode aired on The Vortexx streaming channel. Thanks to horror hostess Arachna of the Spider People (Alexis Hmielak from Beware Theater) for arranging it, the Sicko-Psychotic Show made a return to The Vortexx on November 2, 2021, with the 2-part Halloween Music Marathon. The wonderful Arachna herself appeared in the Special promoting Halloween books for children of all ages that could be checked out from public libraries. 

The Halloween Special was the first time I had reached out to other fellow horror hosts to appear on the show and I am extremely grateful to each of them for making this such an amazing event. Among the special guests were Bobby Gammonster (Monster Movie Night), Crematia Mortem (Roberta Solomon; Creature Feature), Danvers (John Benjamin Faust; Demented Features), Destroyah, Dr. Dreck (Michael Legge; The Dungeon of Dr. Dreck), Drac and Countess Carita (Robert Kokai & Stefanie Kokai; Transylvania Tonight), The Evil Dr. Toad (Evil Dr. Toad's Science Fiction Theater), Sally the Zombie Cheerleader (Nicole M. King; The Zombie Cheerleader's School of Horror), Scarlett Kaiju and CJ the Werewolf (Colin Reboy; Mansion of Mystery), Slash (Slash's Graveyard Tales), Tim the Enchanter and Stevie Gothling (Scary As Hell Theater), and Vincent Grimmly (Darren T. Knaus; Night Chills Theatre). 

Other generous contributors were Captain Isotope and Princess Daphne (Erik J. Nielsen & Cheryl Szymczak; Captain Isotope & the Enemy of Space), Doctor Fearless (a.k.a. David Dastmalchian; The Suicide Squad), Dr. Sarcofiguy (John Dimes; It's Some Kinda Show), Molly the K ("Down the Memory Hole" Weird Sisters Radio), Penny Dreadful XIII (Danielle Gelehrter; Shilling Shockers), and Rob Fleck (Phoenix Comics + Toys).
