The Amazing Screw-On Head
Amusement, Mike Mignola, Science Fiction, Videos
The Amazing Screw-On Head is a half-hour animation based on a 2002 comic book by Mike Mignola (author of Hellboy). Screw-On Head, a robot that can screw his head onto a wide variety of bodies, is a secret agent working for Abraham Lincoln, battling Emperor Zombie, an undead supervillain intent on releasing an ancient demon.
A nerd’s delight, the story is a tongue-in-cheek homage to Jules Verne, H.P. Lovecraft, and the tradition of Marvel Comics, executed in the manner of Edward Gorey.
