Book Reviews of Tales from the Crypt #8: Diary of a Stinky Dead Kid
Book Review: This is idiotic
Summary: 1 Stars
Just a note to the authors: Are you not creative enough to come up with your own subject matter? Pride, Prejudice, and Zombies was good for a laugh. For about 5 minutes. 5 years ago. This whole shtick of taking a popular book and adding "Vampires!" and "Zombies!" to it is stale, boring, and pathetic. These are not topics any healthy 10 year old should care about, and coupling them with a popular series does nothing to make it funny, clever, or acceptable. You might be laughing all the way to the bank, but if you have a single shred of integrity in your art, there should be a little voice in the back of your head whispering "hack."
And jokes about Anne Frank being a dead stinky kid? Seriously? I guess Holocaust humor is edgy and fun in your book, but most grown-ups would just consider it sick - both psychologically and socially. Let's go ahead and further condition kids to laugh about death - but wait - not just death in general. Death in gas chambers for Jews! You guys are a real class act. Thanks so much for contributing to the social conscious and social health of the next generation. Truly, you are a wonderful group of human beings.
Find your own voice and quit leeching off of an already known work in a sad attempt to claw your way into notoriety. It's disappointing to fans of the series, and seriously annoying for the parents of those fans. Better yet, get a job cleaning toilets somewhere - where you'll have the least possible contact with other human beings.
*edited to replace "serious" with "series" in the last paragraph.
Summary of Tales from the Crypt #8: Diary of a Stinky Dead Kid
The Ghoulunatics ? The Vault-Keeper, the Old Witch, and everyone?s favorite, The Crypt-Keeper are back to offer their twisted takes on ?Diary of a Wimpy Kid,? the ?Twilight?series, and Guitar Hero! The cover-featured Stinky Dead Kid stars in two tales - - one that explains exactly how he became a Stinky Dead Kid, and another in which he battles ?Guitar Demon,? a popular musical toy that?s become possessed by an evil entity. There?s also the trenchant tale of teen love involving a girl and a vampire, ?Dielite,? and the riotous return of the ever-doomed Thomas Donnelly in his most bizarre tale yet!
