SCI FI Pulse (http://www.scifi.com/pulse/), SCIFI.COM's broadband channel, will premiere two original programs, the animated Amazing Screw-On Head and Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, on July 13, two weeks before the shows debut on SCI FI Channel. SCI FI Pulse viewers will have the chance to affect the future of the Amazing Screw-On Head, based on Mike Mignola's comic book, the channel said.

Amazing Screw-On Head features the voices of Paul Giamatti, David Hyde Pierce and Molly Shannon in a story about a robot secret agent (Giamatti) working for the U.S. government under President Lincoln. After watching the pilot of Amazing Screw-On Head, SCI FI Pulse viewers will be asked to fill out an online survey crafted by the NBC Universal research department. The results of the online survey will help SCI FI executives decide whether or not to green-light the pilot to series. Produced by Kickstart Productions, the pilot was written by Bryan Fuller (Dead Like Me, Wonderfalls). Fuller and Jason Netter serve as executive producers, with Mignola as art director. Chris Prynoski directs.

Garth Marenghi's Darkplace is a six-part series featuring the British cult figure in a send-up of the best of the worst of science fiction TV's past.

Both Amazing Screw-On Head and Garth Marenghi's Darkplace will debut on SCI FI Channel on July 27, following the series debut of Who Wants to Be a Superhero?, a new reality show starring Stan Lee.

If you scroll down about halfway, you'll find screenshots of the new series which are decidely Mignolaesque.

Saw this yesterday, and I have to admit that it goes in fits and starts but it still isn't bad for a first episode. It has a little bit of blood, some nudity, some very dark humor, and of course, the occult and lots of action.

It's kind of like the old tv series The Wild, Wild West meets Hellboy.


King Zombie has become my new favorite villian though. :D
