Welcome to Dino Drac After Dark! This is your Sinister Summer Thread for 2025. Think of it as a secret clubhouse where you can visit and participate as often as you like, free of the burdens that exist on the rest of the internet. Here, we keep it casual, friendly, no-frills and easy. It may not be very busy, but it’s peaceful.

Feel free to join in and talk about whatever you want. Old-and-new movies, shows, junk foods, toys… it’s all fair game. Or you can just tell people about your day. Or what you had for lunch. It’s all good!

This thread will last until some point in August, when we switch over to Halloween mode. Enjoy the warm breezes, roller coasters and cotton candy while you can!

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.
