The Curator of Schlock #432: Kids vs. Aliens
Edwige, my steadfast kangaroo companion, and I walked slowly through the second floor of the Museum of Schlock. I looked over at the Rocky IV display and saw the wax statue of Apollo Creed in pieces on the floor. The symbol of American exceptionalism was laid waste while Ivan Drago was left untouched. I picked up the… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #431: Summer of 84
Edwige, my faithful kangaroo companion, and I had felled the ruffians threatening us in the second floor men’s restroom of the Museum of Schlock. I freed myself from the office chair I was duct taped to, dusted myself off, and scratched Edwige behind the ears. I led the way, trying to figure out where the… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #425: Barbarian
I was about to be eaten alive by a guy in a gimp suit in the trashed bathroom of my once beloved establishment, The Museum of Schlock. Right as Terror was about to sink his metal fangs into me, a noise arose from one of the stalls. It sounded familiar to me, a grunting I’d… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #424: The Children of the Corn
The punk in the blue bandana tugged on the leash of the dude clad in stitched leather. “We call him Terror,” the dude said “He likes fresh meat.” Terror grimaced at me with razor sharp chompers. The punk in the blue bandana then pulled out a hunting knife, and sliced my left forearm bloody. Terror… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #423: Aenigma
There I was, tied to an office chair in a smelly bathroom in the Museum of Schlock, my once proud establishment now overrun by hooligans.

The Curator of Schlock #422: Stepfather 3
I woke up duct-taped to an office chair in the public bathroom on the first floor of The Museum of Schlock. Graffiti everywhere. “Death to the Curator” was tagged with green paint over the door of the second stall. “Get me out of here,” I screamed. I looked around, trying to find piece of broken… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #421: Stepfather II
“My name is the Goose Lord!” The words were uttered with a grating command. The Joe Spinel look-a-like laughed heartily at the defeat of his two arch-enemies: The Curator of Schlock and the Revenging Manta, the ninja vigilante of downtown Orlando. I was cradling my right hand wondering where my severed index finger had gotten… Continue reading

The Curator of Schlock #420: The Stepfather
The Revenging Manta, the ninja vigilante of downtown Orlando, lay in a crumpled heap on the floor of the Battle Beyond the Stars exhibit in the Museum of Schlock. I was still cradling my bleeding hand as my finger had been just bitten off by Count Zarth Arn from Starcrash. “Take care of him,” Count Zarth Arn said… Continue reading
