And Harry Houdini is in the drivers seat.

[Shenanagan]

I need to make it to this!

[DrGonzo369]

hopefully we don't have the issue we had last year with me having to tell people that Hell is full, so the Dead have to walk the Earth.

Better pack a granola bar so that night I can DINE IN HELL!

This year could you post a listing (afterwards of course) of everything that made it into HELL?

The one panel I will never miss.

"What we're gonna do right here is go back, way back, back into time."

Howdy, gang. For the past six years, I've shown all new material at Hell. Sure, there are recurring features, like new episodes of Mighty Mister Titan, but each playlist has been made up of all new material. I'll have an all new batch of Hell for ya'll on Friday night this year as well.

However, this year we're also going to have a new event on Saturday night: Retro Hell. (It sounds better than "Old Hell".) There I'll be dusting off clips that haven't been shown at Animazement in ages, shamelessly shoehorning in highlights from the past couple of years if it looks like folks are getting bored, and generally having fun showing a lot of my personal Hell favorites. We may even have to drag in a VCR for the occasion.

I'm not sure how many requests I'll be taking - it'll depend on how exposed clips may have become on YouTube, the mood of the crowd, and how much coffee I had that night before kicking off Retro Hell - but if ya'll have any suggestions, fire away!

So, Retro Hell, Saturday night at Animazement 2012. It's currently scheduled to take place from 9:30-11:30pm at the Marriott across the street from the convention center, in State Ballroom A-B. Seating is going to be pretty limited, so show up early!

[Marzipan]

Retro hell? Yes. And this is coming from someone who rarely comes to hell.

Here's the Hell/Retro Hell ad for this year's program book.

Nice Python on Hell and SAA for Retro Hell. Colt six-guns FTW.

Suggestions for retro?

Billy's Ballon (the cheers last time were good for my soul), The Horribly Slow Murderer with the Extremely Inefficient Weapon, the Black Dynamite trailer, and all the gratuitous nudity and violence you can find in the archives.

[DrGonzo369]

Retro Hell: the DiC US version of Sailor Moon in all it's glory.

Plus, I'm digging the Roger Moore/Lee Van Cleef double bill poster.

[megaplushie]

Oh Lee Majors. I hope there's an ad for his hearing aids during intermission.

Edit: I mean, his Rechargeable Bionic Hearing Aid.

[DrGonzo369]

I'm an idiot. saw Roger Moore and thought it was Lee Majors....

yet I know what Lee Van Cleef film that is....Day of Anger

[DrGonzo369]

OH, OH, Play Eddie Loves You!

[Phil]

"Eddie Loves You" is new to be but is being researched as we speak!

Well, that goes without saying.
