We're now in double figures and Doomsday Clock 10 is comprised of arm envy, oedipal rage and Al from Quantum Leap's brother. Oh yeh, and it's directed by someone called Alejandro Jodorowsky. It's bloody and could be considered holy, it's Santa Sangre!

With just three minutes left until midnight, we chop sockey towards Doomsday in the company of Jack Burton and Egg Sheng as they cause Big Trouble in Little China.

Midnight Video - Doomsday Clock 8: Strange Days
