A few more faves from the last couple years! I need to do a whole thread. I did so many carved pumpkins a few years ago during the height of covid and during a semester I was on sabbatical.

Nice, sounds right up my alley. Similar to Night of the comet or something? That's one of my faves

I thought for many years that the theme song said "robots in the skies" instead of "disguise" so maybe the designers did too (this a dragon)?

Realistic indeed! Where did you get the paper to wrap it? Also FYI your yard is very impressively green, for living in the mountains.

Today I was reminded of a funny story. In high school, a friend on the speech team just totally forgot his speech. Completely blanked. This was spring or fall 1992, so he just did Ross Perot impressions for almost 10 minutes. "Now here's the deal" & " I'm all ears" etc., a legendary performance.

YES, beyond parody is right. That could totally be a @theonion.com Or Mcsweeney's headline about a censorship conference being censored then canceled.

I still absolutely love, weird and creepy Halloween pins like this. Wear different ones pinned to shirts and jackets this time of year

A few years ago in my town, a couple built this pretty cool wooden house about 3 or 4 ft tall and had the kids reach inside different compartments to pick treats. A lot of them were junky Halloween toys and rings, stuff like that. All the kids absolutely loved it though. It was a great idea

(Don't really have dog the bounty Hunter but did buy a cheapie Shepherd figure many years ago at some roadside gift shop, that I always joked looked just like Dog)

Me listening to my wife spell her name on the phone, for some kind of documentation, with "and F as in Frank" knowing she's going to receive some absolutely wacky spelling of her last name. Probably Effrank or something.

Guess we should add one to our Nativity scene then, to join Randy Macho Man and Dog the bounty Hunter.

Creepshow is probably the best of those, but Tales from the hood is surprisingly fun and enjoyable!

In fact I suddenly remembered, I did a little writeup of some of my favorite classic horror movies for a psychology newsletter last fall, and chose both of these films - here's what I said:
The Lost Boys – Pretty much an ideal vampire flick. It has everything: young Keifer Sutherland with a gang of teenage vampires, the two Coreys (Haim and Feldman), an odd grandpa, a hound of hell . . . what more could you want? I think you would have to pay me $50,000 to never watch this movie again. Silver Bullet – Another flim starring young (and underrated) Corey Haim. What can I say: I’m also a sucker for werewolves. There was also somewhat of a surprise twist and a very suspenseful scene where locals track the werewolf through fog. As if that isn’t enough: also Gary Busey.

The original one is better and much creepier IMO! But both worth a watch.

41 years ago, IMO, the greatest SNL digital short, Men's Synchronized Swimming premiered. The short came from the powerhouse SNL season and still is just as brilliant today.
