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).
