	Gary Westfahl's Bio-Encyclopedia of Science Fiction Film: John Carradine
		And ponder some of the titles of the later films he was adding to his résumé: Horror of the Blood Monsters, The House of the Seven Corpses, Satan's Cheerleaders, Vampire Hookers, The Best of Sex and Violence, Demented Death Farm Massacre, Evil Spawn, Teenage Exorcist....
		As I compiled the data for this volume, it was with a peculiar fascination that I watched the entry on John Carradine expand, like a cancerous growth, until it filled two manuscript pages.
		Clearly, this is a career that needs to be examined by psychologists, not film critics.

	UGO Screenwriter's Voice - TV Review by Joanna Topor -- Point Pleasant, Jonny Zero, Numbers
		From FOX comes Point Pleasant, a literal depiction of what happens when the spawn of Satan comes to a small New England town, and Jonny Zero, a drama about a reformed murderer looking for redemption.
		Point Pleasant, which premiers Wednesday January 19th at 9/8 central, tells the story of Christina (Harnois) a hot, young blonde thing whose father just happens to be the devil.
		Acting as executive producer and writer for Point Pleasant, Noxon is back in her comfort zone: evil and teenage angst.

	STARGATE THE MOVIE STARING KURT RUSSELL AND JAMES SPADER ANCIENT EGYPT, SOLAR BOAT, LAND OF THE PHAROAHS, CLEOPATRA INSPIRES SOLAR NAVIGATOR FIGURE HEAD, SUN GOD RA HAWKS HEAD TRADEMARK
		No sequels were made, but it did spawn a TV series that proved to be quite popular with SF aficionados.
		The TV series has moved the story along nicely - even changes to the cast have worked well and I particularly enjoy the dry humour of the TV series.
		Kurt also starred in the TV series The Travels of Jamie McPheeters.

	Games That Never Made
		Dragon Quest also spawn an animated movie in Japan and three TV series, Dragon Quest, Dragon Quest: Dai's Adventure, and Dragon Quest II, the last of which had 13 episodes dubbed in English and released in the USA - but DWII anime failed in the USA, as expected.
		The games we know as Dragon Warrior I, II, III were actually called Dragon Quest in Japan and had character designs by the legendary Akira Toriyama of Dr. Slump/Dragon Ball fame.

	Demon Knight
		The success of the "Tales From the Crypt" cable TV series (which itself was heavily inspired by the excellent Stephen King-George Romero pic "Creepshow") was inevitably going to spawn movies.
		"Demon Knight" is a fast-paced, well-written and well-acted homage to both "The Evil Dead" and "Night of the Living Dead." It's introduced as an episode of the "Tales From the Crypt" series, with that show's decaying Crypt Keeper host in a funny intro.
		Flick was followed by the abysmal "Tales From the Crypt" turkey "Bordello of Blood."

	V (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The series ran for 200 minutes and was successful enough to spawn a sequel, V: The Final Battle, which was meant to conclude the story, and a television series in 1984–85 that revived it.
		During the course of the series, the Resistance Network's TV news bulletins report stories of erstwhile enemies uniting in common cause against the alien occupiers, such as black and white South Africans (the series was produced when South Africa was still under apartheid), or Israelis and Palestinians.
		Series creator Kenneth Johnson has said that the story was inspired by the 1935 novel It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis, but a quick check at the library will show that several scenes from the original TV pilot were lifted directly from the Bertolt Brecht play The Private Life of the Master Race.

	Wanton Distraction
		If you think it is odd that a short-lived TV show could spawn a movie, it has actually happened before.
		Serenity is an adaptation of the short-lived sci-fi Western (you read that correctly) television show Firefly, the third series created by Joss Whedon after his cult-hits Buffy, the Vampire Slayer and its spin-off, Angel.
		Simon tries his best to find a blend of medications to keep her psychotic episodes under control, but it is clear she will never again be the carefree girl who enjoyed dancing and helping her big brother with his organic chemistry homework.

	Can a failed TV show spawn a successful film? - MORE MOVIE NEWS AND FEATURES - MSNBC.com
		The back story is reminiscent of “Star Trek,” which went on to become a hit movie franchise and spawned four more TV series after the original show left the air.
		For the film, Whedon took the broad story arc he had in mind for the TV show and compacted it into a movie plot, taking Serenity on a potential suicide mission to uncover horrifying secrets about the Reavers, human cannibals who live on the outskirts of civilized space.
		As with the TV show, the film also is loaded with sharp dialogue, eccentric wit and loving sarcasm among shipmates.

	AAW: Dirty Pair Flash Review
		That said, Dirty Pair Flash is really nothing more memorable than any of a dozen other action OAV series, while the original has managed to remain relatively popular for over 20 years and spawn a series of original comics in addition to the half dozen movies, OAVs and TV series.
		As was made abundantly clear in the review, though the basic theme is the same as the original Dirty Pair movies, OAVs, and TV series, it's less sleazy and fun.
		For those who don't know, Dirty Pair Flash is (loosely) based on an old anime series which was in turn based on a series of Japanese-language novels; this Kei and Yuri are supposed to be descendants of the original Lovely Angels.

	Bags and Boards: More from McFarlane
		Sam and Twitch, the detectives spun out of Spawn and into their own comics series, has been pitched as a TV series, he says.
		The Batman/Spawn announcement dominated the news at the McFarlane panel, though there were some other interesting bits revealed about the comics publishing, toy and entertainment sides of his business.
		The same kind of logic held that stabs were fine, but exit wounds were not, which is the reason why in Frank Miller's famous death of Elektra, the panel in which she's killed by Bullseye shows the knife going through her body but not piercing the back of her outfit.

	Rugrats in Paris - The Movie - Movie Preview
		It seemed like the perfect marriage, so I jotted down a few lines and we got together this treatment about, if babies could speak, what would they say and what would be their visual perspective?” Klasky and Csupo began to develop a series of storyboards, which they eventually took to cable TV channel Nickelodeon.
		A Cal Arts grad who started her career as a designer for A&M Records, Klasky could hardly have expected that her move into animation would spawn the most successful kids’ series of the nineties (viewing figures run to 23 million after nine series).
		But setting up the whole enterprise took two years of careful planning and meticulous draughtsmanship by Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon movies who - just as they did two years ago on The Rugrats Movie - teamed up with the series’ creators Klasky/Csupo to make the trip a reality.
