The Terrifying Return Of... full-length release
(Rock N Rhythm Records)
Lon Chaney, Sr. is said to have remarked that man is the only animal that scares himself. These songs summon to mind images of kids squealing delightedly as rubber-visaged bugaboos lurch across matinee screens. Isaac's reeling, wigged-out sprees fuse such garish scarification to 1960s-rooted, hypno-coin shindigs. The arrow spins from the Fun meter. The man's growled declarations, sometimes befriended by "ah-ooing" girl choruses, are so attention-seizing as to almost distract from his six-string wizardry. Almost.
Isaac Rother and the Phantoms will perform and vend at the mid-September Famous Monsters Fest, in Pennsylvania. In a recent Facebook post, the caped frontman said: "This is such an honor to be included given the incredible legacy of Famous Monsters. In the pre-internet world, Famous Monsters Of Filmland was THE place to learn about horror movies and its legacy is unmatched."
