Much more sinister and satirical than you might think, this short throwing back to '90s advertising surreality being funded by the *actual* Gushers company is like Life cereal making a folk-horror film about the Mikey urban legends.

A Nightmare on 21st and Potter - 1987 Halloween Dance Commercial

#SpookoweenMonth #9

Part short film and part advertisement for a Halloween dance, this swede'ed "Nightmare on Elm Street" riff was -- for all its janky production quality -- was made with as much fun creativity as an AV club video camera of the era could allow.

Monsters Unchained at Universal's Epic Universe

#SpookoweenMonth #8

Who'd have thought Universal would finally make a success out of Dark Universe...not as a movie series, but rather as an entire theme park, with an attraction pitting Dr. Frankenstein's descendant against Count Dracula himself as its crown jewel?

For all the Goosebumps literature and merch I got my grubby mitts on as a kid, I never got this miniaturized, Mighty Max-ian playset -- let alone even hear about it before looking up Goosebumps ads for this post!

Not one but *two* seasonally-fitting Empire Carpet ads: one featuring Witchiepoo, and the other with the Empire Guy himself in full Count Floyd mode, dropping puns like they were polyester fiber samples.

Gwengoolie actress Sarah Palmer just doesn't play a lover of all things camp and fab on TV -- she's one in real life, too! From makeup tutorials to touring horror movie locations, Palmer is absolutely Spooky Gal goals. 🥰

Imagine "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" on a budget of what one of the books would cost, and you have this janky and *incredibly* charming horror anthology. Made for public access, and made exactly for someone with my tastes in horror cheese.

If there were any format to give George A. Romero's zombie classic "Night of the Living Dead" a run for its money, it would be that of a radio play, where your imagination does the work in conjuring the claustrophobic masses of the undead.

The Addams Family (TurboGrafx CD) Playthrough - NintendoComplete

#SpookoweenMonth #1

The '91 "Addams Family" movie spun off a cryptload of video games, but only one the TurboGrafx CD release has you playing as Dan Hedaya's antagonist character. That's like a Flintstones movie game where the hero is Kyle MacLachlan.

Picked up some Dominos for dinner tonight. Ran into the sub I had a few times in high school, who called me a pervert for liking "Vanilla Sky."

It's so funny that the first Wes Anderson movie is a bunch of dirtbag robbers setting off fireworks and now they're like "The Deciduous Reasoning of Isabella Teacup"

Got mine in the mail this week. Took some comparison pics with the Super7 Ultimates -- S7 on the left, NECA on the right. The latter has it beat for details and texture, easily. Even has a gash on the back of the alternate wounded head.

It bugs the fuck outta me there's this new wave of people who think Doug, Rob and his company are cool when it was proven ages ago through the Change the Channel document the Walker Brothers are massive assholes.

I dealt with Doug's shit behavior at a con ages ago so I can back it up with how he is
