Halloween Day 13: The Night That Dracula Saved the World
Posted on 10.12.08 by Widge @ 12:01 am

I had never heard of this special before, honestly. But Judd Hirsch as Dracula cannot be denied. Nor can Henry Gibson, whose Igor is excellent. This was from 1979, if you're trying place some of its...quirks.

It was only released on VHS--and those aren't cheap, apparently.

Direct link for the feedreaders.

Found at Universal Horror Sounds via Monster Rally.

P.S. Last year at this time we were watching the Day of the Dead trailer in ZOMBIEING SOUND.

Count Floyd: It's Not One of Our Biggies
Posted on 10.09.08 by Widge @ 5:06 am

A quick interlude because I can. Behold: my favorite Count Floyd bit ever. Ever.

Direct link for the feedreaders.

I don't know why I could never find it online when I wanted it, but thanks go out to Azathoth's Abode on the Plateau of Leng: The Dungeon for finding it for us. Go to their site for more classic bits of the same.

Poor Devil

You know what? I think this vid works best if you walk into it with no idea what you're getting into.

Nice, huh? I had no idea this even existed before today, did you? For more snippets and an explanation of just WTF it is you just watched, check out the Franklin Mint Blog. Found via Monster Rally.

Halloween Day 7: To Serve Man
Posted on 10.06.08 by Widge @ 12:38 am

Welcome to Monday. But things could always be worse. You could be in this episode of The Twilight Zone, which has one of my favorite TZ endings ever.

Direct link for the feedreaders.

This and all the other episodes are available on the Complete Definitive Collection. Which is pricey, but I own it myself and damn, if it's not worth it.

Halloween: And Now a Word From Our Sponsor...
Posted on 10.05.08 by Widge @ 5:22 am

Let's start with a Woolworth's commercial here:

Direct link for the feedreaders.

Isn't it odd that a kid's Halloween costume used to consist of a thin plastic mask and then a smock-like thing that you wore which bore the logo of the thing you were supposed to represent? Where this wasn't the case was rare, like in the Wonder Woman costume they showed. But why, if you're dressed like Darth Vader, do you have a Vader mask on...and then Vader's face on your chest? Our childhood was very odd.

Found at Kindertrauma via Monster Rally.

Next, how about a Carvel Halloween ice cream cake? That and more after the break...
