Cottonmouth is a macabre fantasy.
In 1986 artist Stephen R. Bissette (Taboo, Swamp Thing) created Cottonmouth. It originally appeared in "Gore Shriek" an underground horror comic.
Obsessed with horror films and comic books, Christopher P. Garetano (Horror Business) was only eleven years old when he was first exposed to Bissette’s dark tale. It left an indelible impression and inspired many nightmares in the young filmmaker.
Twenty years later Christopher decided a Cottonmouth adaptation was long overdue and he contacted Bissette for the inevitable.
Cottonmouth is the story of four angry ladies who (after suffering from terminal infections) rise from the grave to take their ghoulish revenge on a company man who did them wrong.

my guess is you're home working too..but if not I bet you'll make up for it tomorrow. Either way, I predict we will win just a little bit more (or a lot) of 'the war' in 2009. It's been a pleasure 'fighting alongside' you. Keep being an inspiration and keep turning out fucking great work. Happy '09!
Thanks for inviting me to this comic. Never seen or heard about it but it definatly looks like it's a good read and the movie looks like it's right up my alley.
GREAT interview with Bissette! I'd seen everything else but that, 'till now. It was cool to get that history and context from him...he's gotta be overjoyed that someone took the time and care to bring his spooky story to the next level.
Just saw the clip on Fearless Music. The quality looked very good on my television set. To bad they couldn't play the whole film, but it was a good plug.
