The 2026 Winter/Spring Thread!
Better late than never, it’s time for a new thread! (We can’t be hanging out under Christmas lights this far past December, after all.)
This is your After Dark 2026 Winter/Spring Thread, which will last for several months, and then possibly several more, if I forget to do one for summer. It’s happened before!
You know the deal. Talk about whatever you want (within reason) in a spot that somehow exists outside the internet’s usual space-time continuum. Dino Drac After Dark combines the vibes of a house party, a dead mall, a dusty comic book shop, and a sleepover. Somebody’s always here, even when it seems like nobody is. (Sounds creepy!)
Have fun chatting, lurking, or perusing the stack of Far Side books I left in the corner. There are pizza rolls in the freezer, and extra pillows in that big wicker trunk. Stay out of the basement.
The 2025 Holiday Thread!
Ready or not, here’s your Dino Drac After Dark 2025 Holiday Thread, where we’re keepin’ it festive in a low-key way from now through New Year’s Day!
Think of this space as a cozy, communal cottage way up there on the snowy hill. It’s never too busy, but every time you decide to visit, you know that somebody will be here, ready to split a box of Stove Top and watch some dated Rankin-Bass specials.
On a busy and aggravating internet, After Dark is meant to be a nice oasis – quiet but not too quiet.
At this time of year, we’re in our holiday mode. You’re free to talk about most things (within reason), but if you’re especially into seasonal junk food, parade balloons, Christmas movies, mall Santas and big blankets, you’ve come to the right place. Enjoy!
The 2025 Halloween Thread!
The 2025 Halloween Season HAS BEGUN, so here’s your two-month all-purpose spooky hangout on Dino Drac After Dark!
This part of the site hides behind moonlit trees and isn’t known by many, and that’s part of its charm. Over here, the internet is calmer and more casual. Dino Drac After Dark isn’t flashy, but if it was, you’d hate it.
From now through October 31st, join in on the unending discussion thread and talk about all sorts of Halloween things. The junk food, the decorations, the movies, whatever! Halloween is bigger than ever, and there’s enough out there to turn the whole season into a two-month treasure hunt.
While Halloween is our focus right now, non-spooky discussions are a-okay, too. If you want a little background noise while you’re here, the Halloween Jukebox stays open 24/7. Enjoy!
2025 Sinister Summer Thread!
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!
