Life of Agony’s ALAN ROBERT Honors Alex Trebek, Bob Ross & Bowie w/ Colored Pages from New Book
The Beauty of Horror: Haunt of Fame is OUT NOW
Yesterday (August 24th) saw the release of the fifth installment from the wildly acclaimed coloring book series from Life of Agony bassist ALAN ROBERT. The Beauty of Horror: Haunt of Fame brings iconic pop culture luminaries back from the grave through wonderfully spirited re-imaginings of their signature looks. In celebration of the release, Alan has colored a small sampling of the pages from his new book, paying homage to venerable greats like Alex Trebek, Bob Ross, & David Bowie.
The Beauty of Horror: Haunt of Fame is OUT NOW and available on Amazon.
Speaking about the page dedicated to Alex Trebek, Alan shares:
“As a kid, my Dad watched Jeopardy religiously. Seeing Alex Trebek on our television every night was a big part of my life growing up,” explained Beauty of Horror creator Alan Robert. “And with this latest coloring book, I wanted to tap into that very personal nostalgia.” He added, “When fans add their colors and creativity to these parodies, they get to bring these stars “back to life” in a way that’s twisted, fun, and actually cathartic. After all, it is art therapy for the abnormal.”
Later this year, Robert is teaming up with top toy manufacturer NECA, best known for their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Alien, and Predator figures, to release the very first Beauty of Horror action figure. Based on the series’ fan-favorite Ghouliana, the 5” articulated figure is featured wearing her signature bat-wing dress as part of NECA’s Toony Terrors line.
“To see Ghouliana smiling her piranha-like grin alongside gruesome greats like The Nun, Scream’s Ghost Face, and Michael Myers is a huge honor for me,” explains creator Alan Robert. “I feel like my little undead girl is all grown up!”
