Product 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.System Requirements:Run Time: 42 minsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: ANIMATION/ADULT SWIM Rating: NR UPC: 031398209102 Manufacturer No: 20910
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.
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.
Hilarious and Entertaining This cartoon is great. E. Zombie, the monkey, dog, screw on head were all great characters and the humor was fantastic. I really wish they made more episodes.
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!
Truly bizarre and funny I got interested in Mignola's work reading "Baltimore", which I highly recommend. This film took a bit for me to understand, but I was laughing myself silly by the end of it. I won't describe the plot, because several others have explained it far better than I could. It's intelligent, campy, and fun. If I had seen the pilot on the SciFi channel, I would have voted to develop the series.
