Comments on this: none yet. Add your own.  Well, as is our tradition on Christmas Day, we post the yuletide equivalent of our putting up Night of the Living Dead every single Halloween. And yes, the speech at the end gets a bit shakier as time goes by, but if you had to pick a single museum piece out of the vast array of Christmas holiday specials that have aired, we'd have to go with this one.

Comments on this: none yet. Add your own.  Well, since the past two years for 13 Days of Xmas we've been focusing on cartoons (with The Grinch in 2007 and an assortment in 2008), we're back with another assortment. The first one out of the starting gate is "A Fright Before Christmas" from 1979, the Looney Tunes starring Bugs Bunny and the Tasmanian Devil. Categorized as: Animation

Comments on this: just one. Add your own. So Day 14 has generally been up for grabs. Last year we watched the Paul Lynde Halloween Special. Which, seriously, if you haven't seen, you need to. No lie. And when you're done with that--I started to look for other Halloween specials. And there's Bugs Bunny in that list, yes, but if you're going to watch what's ostensibly a Halloween clip show, you might as well just watch a cartoon instead. So here's "Broom-Stick Bunny" from 1956. It's Bugs, it's Mel Blanc, it's Chuck Jones. What more do you need? Oh, well, June Foray as the witch--you need that too, naturally. Direct link for the feedreaders. This short is available on Volume 2 of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection, fully restored and looking amazing. I strongly recommend you pick it up if you haven't already. And for more goodness, we checked out the original Frankenstein trailer two years back. Categorized as: Animation

Comments on this: just one. Add your own. Each Monday we want to give you some of the finest WTFery to be found online, in an effort to prepare your brain for the nonsense that any work week entails. And yes, some of you in the U.S. have today off. If you do, bookmark this and come back tomorrow. Long-time person-who-throws-me-links Barry331 shot this one over. And it's so terribly wrong. It's the third episode in a series called "Charlie the Unicorn," from a twisted and mysterious organization known as FilmCow. I don't know much else other than that except that I could probably watch stuff like this all day long. Enjoy. Direct link for the feedreaders. For more of this nonsense, check out FilmCow here.

Comments on this: just one. Add your own. Bursting forth from its casements once more, unsatisfied with possessing the month of October alone, Halloween stakes its claim to September 30th as well. That's right: sequels can kill. Welcome to 32 Days of Halloween PART III. Out first year out, we started with Mickey. Then last year, it was over to Bugs. Now, back to Mickey, with a 1995 animated short from Disney that's so good, you'd swear it had come directly from Pixar. Runaway Brain. Categorized as: Animation
