Here’s your Ho Ho Hot Holiday Thread for the 2024 season! This is the “secret” spot on Dino Drac where you can participate in ongoing discussions about just about anything, with a heavy emphasis on the holidays.

How are you celebrating? What are you eating? What are you watching? Talk about it all, and whatever else pops into your head. This thread will remain active through New Year’s, so grab a blanket and get comfy.

The Halloween season is officially here, and with it, your official Dino Drac After Dark thread! May these merrily macabre months be everything you’ve hoped and dreamed for. If they aren’t, well, I hope you at least score some cool pumpkin candles and see a few new horror movies.

I’m very glad to be putting summer to bed, as it was a rough one, and I’m looking forward to the many (literal) creature comforts that make this time of the year so wonderful. Candy, costumes, decorations, weird soda, fast food promotions, hoodie weather and moonlight! What more can you ask for?

This thread will be active until the end of October. Feel free to share your various experiences in Halloweening, all throughout the season. Enjoy!

By popular request (two people, maybe), here’s your 2024 Sinister Summer Thread — the final After Dark thread before the next Halloween season!

I’m starting this one early because, well, it’s too late for a spring thread, and spring kinda sucks anyway. Besides, we’ll be well into the Halloween stuff before summer officially ends anyway.

This is a catchall thread for conversations of all sorts – movies, junk food, pop culture, vacations, pets, toys, dreams and nightmares, whatever. Y’all know the drill!

I haven’t plugged Dino Drac After Dark in years – it’s definitely the “secret” part of the site, and I love that you guys keep it lively. Consider it an escape from the rest of the internet.

Here’s your 2024 Wild Winter Thread, which will remain in effect until… I don’t know, when does winter end? March something? Look, I just didn’t want to make you hang out under a Christmas tree all through February.

The winter months have a reputation for being boring and lifeless, but I’m starting to see them through a different lens. Piling blankets over myself like I’m Giles Corey before watching sixteen movies in a row because there’s literally nothing better to do? That doesn’t sound too bad.

Enjoy the thread! I thought the Halloween and Holiday ones were pretty great this year, so I figured I’d buck tradition and not disappear until August. May this dank basement be a blessed respite from the rest of the internet.
