Claymation Comedy of Horrors!
Suggested by Jason H., here’s Will Vinton’s Claymation Comedy of Horrors, from 1991:
Totally great pick, because while I’ve long been aware that this had a following, it’s not something I’ve seen. You guys are helping Dino Drac After Dark broaden its horizons!
Jason adds: “This one is tied into one of my most favored Halloween memories. Basically, one night when I was like 9 or so (must have been around 1992), my dad took me to a Halloween ‘zombie walk’ maze out of nowhere, unannounced and unprompted.
“While we waited in this tented waiting area for the tour to begin, we watched the first half of ‘Ghoulies 2’ on one of those school A/V TV setups; I don’t know where they got it. (I also never figured out what the movie was for like two decades afterwards.)
“After the walk ended, we ended up going to Taco Bell for dinner, in order to snag some of those ‘Monster Eyes’ eyeball straws they were hocking at the time.
“Then we went home, where he managed to produce a bag of Halloween orange-and-black M&M’s for dessert, which I had never seen at that point (for whatever reason) – I thought that was the coolest thing. To top it all off, we got back just in time to watch this, which I believe was airing on the Disney Channel that night.
“I don’t know what prompted all of this Halloween-osity out of my dad, but it was one of the best nights of any Halloween season I’ve ever had.”
