I’ve been quietly surveying all of the new-for-2017 holiday junk foods, and man, there sure are a lot of them. Good ones, too!

Even if you’re not into the red-and-green season, I hope you can at least appreciate the fun garbage you’re gonna get to eat.

Take these monsters, for example. New from Hostess, Peppermint Twinkies are the minty fresh snack cakes that are almost alarmingly red.

Learn more about them in tonight’s video:

If you can’t spare the three minutes, the short version is that they’re okay, but mostly worth buying for the novelty factor. Or if you want to build a house out of bricks that are actually Twinkies. Read More…

Happy Halloween, everyone! Thanks so much for being a part of Dino Drac’s 2017 Halloween Countdown. I was determined to get one last video done before November hit, and with a huge assist to caffeine, here we are:

Madd Matt is back with one last bag of Halloween junk. Enjoy.

Unfortunately, the insane blitz to get this video done means that I have absolutely nothing left in the tank… so you’ll have to pardon me for skipping my usual eighty paragraphs about the how awesome the Halloween season is. Just pretend you know what’s in my head. Actually, chances are, you do.

I hope you’ve had a terrific season. I sure did. I’m also really looking forward to peppermint Twinkies and weird stuffing. So there’s that. Here’s to today, and here’s to tomorrow! Love you, strangers. Read More…

Eek! A combination of things — good things, bad things and things in-between — caused me to be a little (lot) less prolific than I would’ve liked to have been this last half of October. Sorry about that!

Don’t worry, though. I’m still totally in love with Halloween, and even the fact that it falls on a damned Tuesday this year hasn’t killed the romance.

Just in the nick of time, The Purple Stuff Podcast has returned with what I guess we could call our “Halloween episode,” even if it’s more of a casual Q&A session.

Me and Jay from The Sexy Armpit solicited creepy questions from listeners around the globe, and in today’s ep, we’re tackling everything from the best-ever spooky toy lines to our favorite Halloween TV specials.

Listen to this week’s episode by clicking here!

And okay, sure, this ended up being the only episode we put out in October, but we hope we made up for that will all of our August and September episodes.

This month got erratic, but we’re looking forward to getting back on a regular schedule in November. (In fact, we’re already mapping out the topics for our next few eps!)

Thanks as always for listening. October 31st isn’t until tomorrow, so keep your eyes on Dino Drac… I’m not done Halloweening just yet!
