1988 TV Broadcast of Halloween III!
According to social media, the Halloween season officially began on July 5th! That’s probably a stretch for some, but we’ll take any excuse to gab about Halloween III: Season of the Witch for an hour.
The latest Purple Stuff Podcast is finally here, and this one is SO up our alley. With an assist from our pal Lincoln, we’re diving into a November 1988 television broadcast of Halloween III, exactly as it aired on our beloved local station, WPIX!
We’ll tell you about our favorite parts of the film, get into some trivia, compare the TV edit to the theatrical cut, and even discuss some of the old commercials that aired during the broadcast! It’s a terrifying tour de force!

I can’t speak for Jay, but this episode is so special to me. Halloween III, on WPIX, in the late ‘80s? UNBELIEVABLE!

Dino Drac’s June Funpack is here!
Dino Drac’s June Funpack is here, and I’m arguing that it’s summer in a box. Even if my idea of “summer” involves Jason Voorhees and the Ninja Turtles.
Here’s the deal! Subscriber boxes have already been shipped, and subscriptions are maxed out. I do have a very small number of spares left to sell on an individual basis, so if you’re not a subscriber but still want one, zip to the bottom to see if there are any remaining!
As always, the price is $25, and that includes shipping to anywhere in the United States. A pretty great price for what I consider a higher-end Funpack. Let’s see what’s inside… Read More…
Purple Stuff: More Masters of the Universe!
Okay, so this latest episode of the Purple Stuff Podcast is a few days late, but when you see what a monster is, I think you’ll forgive us. We’re headed back to Eternia!
Just before the new live-action movie hits theaters, we’re revisiting the halcyon days of MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE! This is a sequel to an episode we published over ten years ago, but this time, the cuts are way deeper.
Join me and Jay from Sludge Central as we tackle eight weird and wonderful things from He-Man’s heyday in the ‘80s. Everything from the toys to the cartoon, to live events, fast food promos and more! There is SO MUCH HE-MAN in this episode, you’ll get tanner just by listening.
