Editor's Notes and Comments:

Description:
In this hilarious send-up of Lovecraftian horror and steampunk adventure, President Abraham Lincoln's top spy is a bodyless head known only as Screw-On Head (Paul Giamatti). When arch-fiend Emperor Zombie (David Hyde Pierce) steals an artifact that will enable him to threaten all life on Earth, the task of stopping him is assigned to Screw-on Head. Fortunately, Screw-On Head is not alone on this perilous quest. He is aided by his multitalented manservant, Mr. Groin, and by his talking canine cohort, Mr. Dog. Can this unorthodox trio stop Emperor Zombie in time? Does Screw-On Head have a body awesome enough to stop the horrors that have been unleashed? Where can we get a talking dog? All these questions (O.K., maybe not that last one) are answered by the thrilling tale of The AMAZING SCREW ON HEAD! Based on the award-winning comic book by Mike Mignola, creator of HELLBOY.

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Pure Genius
Wow - this is absolutely brilliant. I was wary of renting this, as I had no idea as to what kind of thing this was, other than animated. Was it primarily action? Adventure? Horror? Mystery? No clue, but I rented it anyway and it is absolutely weird and hilarious and amazing to look at. Very much like something you'd see on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim but light years better than 90% of that stuff. Great, funny script, really interesting style to the animation (faithfully adapting Mike Mignola's original art), and the voice work is amazing - Paul Giamatti, David Hyde Pierce and Molly Shannon are all so funny and really breath life into their roles. I didn't know this is essentially a pilot for the Sci-Fi Channel or that it is a mere 22 minutes long (with a couple of nice extra features tro round it out), so I hope someone else either picks it up as a series or that the DVD does well enough to justify a direct-to-DVD sequel of some kind, because I loved it. Kudos to Mike Mignola and Bryan Fuller in particular for giving life to this wonderfully weird thing.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - I can't believe this didn't become a series!
Screw-on Head is one of the funniest TV pilots ever made. Fantastic cast, wonderful script, charming art - an all-around lovely experience. We laugh every time we watch it.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Amazing Screw-On Head the hit that never was
Too bad this pilot never made it off the ground. Great voice cast, witty dialogue, and I really liked the visuals. Paul Giamatti, David Hyde Pierce, and Molly Shannon must've really enjoyed making this. Funny enough for adults, and clean enough for kids.
The DVD arrived in a timely manner, and in perfect, shrink-wrapped condition.
I recommend both the DVD and the seller.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Hilarious and Entertaining
This cartoon is great. E. Zombie, the monkey, dog, screw on head were all great characters and the humour was fantastic. I really wish they made more episodes.



Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - Great BUT ONLY 22 MINUTES!!
This would be an excellent show - if it wasn't 22 minutes! Wait for iTunes to get this and download it for a dollar - It is definitely not worth buying the dvd!
