Overview
Strange Kids Club is a horror infused blog of pop culture retro geekdom hosted by graphic designer and copywriter Rondal Scott III – a daily dose of adolescent enthusiasm for B-movie monsters, movie trailers, classic wrestling match-ups, comics, exclusive interviews and unbelievably cool toys.
The concept of Strange Kid (the puppet mascot) himself emerges from an eclectic mix of Pee-Wee's Playhouse, Howdy Doody and The Muppets and seeks to invoke that uninhibited inner child within each of us (young and old) that stills enjoys watching an episode of Family Matters on Fridays or breaking out a tasty box of Count Chocula on Saturday morning. There are currently plans for him to become a larger presence on the blog, including the development of a bi-weekly, variety webshow hosted by Strange Kid.
