KustomonstersTV update

Ok, from my detective work this weekend I can say the The Kustomonsters will be playing (so far) on the following AMGTV stations starting April 15th.

KGNG-LP 47.6, Las Vegas, NV
KSDI 33.4, Fresno, CA
KJLR 28, Little Rock, AR
KCTU 43, Wichita, KS
WOBX 35, Syracuse, NY
KNTS 17, Shreveport, LA
KQEG 23, La Crosse, WI

The Kustomonsters are playing after Cinema Insomnia on most AMGTV markets. The Kustomonsters are still playing on Saturday nights on KLHU TV 45 in Lake Havasu, AZ. I can suspect there will be several more stations, but this is what I can gather from the net at this time...

Kustomonsters to air on the AMGTV network throughout the U.S!

Starting Friday April 15th you can see the Kustomonsters in syndication on various over the air TV stations in 150 cities on the AMGTV Network. PST- 12:30 am, MT- 1:30 am, Central 2:30 am, Eastern - 3:30 AM! Check your area for listings!


The Kustomonsters is a high octane zany comedy take blending the 60’s “Kustom Car Kulture” of Ed Daddy Roth with the classic lovable spookiness of Hollywood horror monsters and vintage cartoons. Meet “Mummy DaddyO”, the friendly “horror host” lead hipster of this motley bunch from Horror Heights. His sidekick, “Butterball the Skeleton”, joins animated puppet DaddyO as he hosts the show from the Ends Ville Coffeehouse.

On each episode DaddyO and Butterball present a Kustomonsters cartoon along with other award winning animated shorts and cool music videos. The Kustomonsters cartoons feature DaddyO driving in his hot rod The Sarcofogaaas, while guzzling nitro java at "Rodzillas" the creepy carhop. Casting a spell on the lot is the sassy “Surf Witch” in her Witch Woody, followed by the howling werewolf “Moonwofly” in his classic 50’s Futura concept car. Closely leeching on to the bunch is the blood thirsty Countess, who cruises around in her Hissing Hearse looking for victims for a plasma withdrawal.

Also featured on the anthology show are Craig Clark’s (Simpson’s) cartoon shorts such as “Woodstock Manor,” featuring the voice work of world famous comedian John Byner, and “Astrothrill” featuring the voice of “West Wing’s” Rene Estevez (Charlie Sheen’s sister). A regular cartoon guest is the lonely Postman “Joe Dugan” by Mike Milo, and “Abo and Karo” by Hayk Manokyan. Award winning classic cartoons like “It’s the Cat” by Mark Kausler, “Sunbeam” by Paul Vester, “Prelude to Eden” by Michel Gagne, and “I Like Pandas” by Jessica Borutski will also be featured in the series. Also Mummy DaddyO Hot Rod car show interviews and music videos by Celldweller, Faith and the Muse, The Nymphs, Astrothrill and more!

Gear up for the knuckle dragger drag races, monster mash sock hops, creepy cruising, and fast and furious fun pushing the Wacky Races, through a Happy Days meets Road Runner blender! Fasten your seat belts for a wild ride through Kustomized high-speed horror kid show Monster Madness! All brought to you by Cheeky Entertainment LLC! Crazy Man!

Shocking Development

Unfortunately The Kustomonsters show will not be airing on CVTV in Modesto CA in March, as their transmitter was permanently damaged by a lightening strike which has taken them off air. They will continue streaming their content online here...CVTV. Look for the Kustomonsters there in the future.

Meanwhile other TV markets have expressed an interest in airing our show including Los Angeles, Fresno CA, Seattle, Arizona and a new network! So stay tooned goblins and ghouls!

Kustomonsters on TV!

A TV station in Modesto CA will to run the Kustomonsters and Friends as a half hour show for twelve weeks starting in March! The Kustomonsters is a comedy variety show featuring kids horror host Mummy DaddyO as seen on PinkSlipanimation.com and Cheekypress.com. Several shorts are already completed, as well as some from Paul Vester, Chris Casady, Michel Gagne, Mark Kausler, Cliff Parrot, Mike Milo, Jessica Borutski, Matt Siditsky, Hayk Manukyn and others. Also some public domain old shorts and music videos are in the mix.

These films which I’ve produced thus far are; The Kustomonsters (Tombstone Birthday), Diggin with DaddyO (Macbeth, Nipsey Russell), Astrothrill, Timbuktu (Teaser), and various Mummy DaddyO puppet wraparounds and a few music videos. Also boarded are two more Diggin with DaddyO’s and three more Kustomonsters shorts. The special short for episode six, Woodstock Manor features the voicework of the legendary John Byner and his daughter Sandi Byner. The animatic is done, I’ll need help doing flash animation on that one. John Byner does the voice of Ed Sullivan, as he is the official voice of the Ed Sullivan Estate! Please contact me at roktoonz@aol.com if you would like to help, this will be high profile!

I am looking for other completed shorts and help doing flash animation! If it’s good and under 5 minutes, please contact me! Thanks!

Pink Slip Animation

I have just joined the animation Co-op Pink Slip Animation in the attempt to aid in production of the Kustomonsters and Friends.

This a new Facebook based Co-op that aims to promote artists, writers and directors working on each others projects with the eventual aim of creating a new studio such as U.P.A. or United Artists. Plan to see another Kustomonsters 10 minute installment by the end of the summer, and more frequency hence forth. And also plan to see more Pink Slip based productions in the near future.
