(More customer reviews)Probably my favorite cartoon ever, and the first real emergence of cartoon horror I can remember. The Inhumanoids themselves, imprisoned in the bowels of the earth, were stark, Lovecraftian monstrosities both in their ancient appetites and titan proportions. D' Compose was a rotten, gangling zombie with the ability to spread undeath by touch. Tendril was a crawling, devouring horror with the tentacled maw of Cthulhu. Metlar was the alpha male demon, hellish king of his elder minions. There was a sense of smallness and desperation to the humans that confronted the monsters, though they were aided by a rival race, again Lovecraftian, that strove to return the Inhumanoids to their prison. Later, we saw even darker twists of the story, such as the arrival of Nightcrawler, undead spawn of D' Compose, or even the emergence of another Inhumanoid, a gelatinous cyclops with an appetite for anything and everything. There's no telling where the show might have gone, if it had continued. But, I guess in those days the show was just squeezing past the censors, so as much as it irritated me it didn't really surprise me when the show got canned. The great ones are all usually cut off in their prime. Nothing makes me happier than to see the show now resurrected, as if by the twisted claw of D' Compose himself. The fact that the Inhumanoids have returned via DVD is better still. Two Big thumbs up to the show, and two thumbs up to the boys at Rhino too.

From Marvel/Claster, the team behind Transformers and G.I. Joe, comes another action-packed wonder, INHUMANOIDS, which debuted on television in 1986.Long ago, the Inhumanoids (Metlar, Tendril and D'Compose) were defeated by the Mutores (Granites, Redwoods and Magnakor), who imprisoned the Inhumanoids under the Earth's crust until unsuspecting humans dug them up, unleashing their evil.Now, a team of scientists (Armstrong, Bright, Auger and Liquidator) called Earth Corps teams up with the Mutores to take on the Inhumanoids and stop their plans to destroy the planet. Part 1:A preserved dinosaur is discovered in the Big Sur National Forest. The dinosaur is Tendril, a hideous creature buried during ancient times who unleashes his fury with his ally D'Compose.It is up to the Earth Corps team to stop the Inhumanoids. The team hopes to prevent the Inhumanoids from releasing the evil tyrant Metlar. Part 2:The Earth Corps manage to subdue Tendril, but only for a short while. The Corps agree to an alliance with Sandra Shore, who will fund their efforts, but only with some underlying conditions. With the looming threat of Metlar's release, the newly formed Earth Corps go into battle and three members of the team are taken hostage by the creature. Part 3: The members of the Earth Corps retreat into the ruins of Granite City after being nearly destroyed by the Inhumanoids. While in the ruins, the Corps meets Granok, leader of the Granites.He informs them of Blackthorne^Rs attempt to control Metlar.The Corps must split into three teams to stop the Inhumanoids from destroying the Earth and it will take every ounce of their skill to stop the evil that lies within. Part 4: In order for Metlar to make the Inhumanoids even stronger, D^RCompose steals a raw energy source.The battle between good and evil rages on as Armstrong and the granites score a major victory when the decomposed Sandra is exposed to sunlight and transformed back to her beautiful self. Part 5: Metlar and the Inhumanoids locate the primal energy source at a Soviet weapons depot and destroy the base and its members.In the process, they steal enough firepower to obliterate the earth.Blackthorne and Senator Masterson must approach the Corps to re-unite forces with the intention of defeating the Inhumanoids. 150 Minutes.
