Spooky Sunday Survey!
Hope everyone enjoyed the first day of October!
Coming up this week on Dino Drac: This year’s Halloween Mood Table, a new video and at least one more article beyond those. (I’m gonna miss a day or two for a family event, but there ain’t much I can do about that!)
Let’s try a survey tonight:
In the comments, dig deep into that brain of yours and share one really random memory of Halloween.
(And I mean Halloween proper. October 31st.)
Happy October!!
By the time most of you read this, IT WILL BE OCTOBER.
…which means that there’s still a whole month left on Dino Drac’s Halloween Countdown! 🙂
October 1st falling on a weekend almost makes up for this year’s midweek Halloween. Almost.
To celebrate October’s arrival, I think I’ll dust off one of the classics:
Enjoy It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.
Sure, it’ll hit network television at some point, but there’s no harm in seeing it twice this year.
Free-For-All Friday Thread #14!
Hey guys — it’s Free-For-All Friday again!
Talk about whatever you want in the comments. Tonight is all about YOU!
It’s the last Friday of September, so make it count!
Side note: I always hate to bury “media” pieces on the main page almost as quickly as they’re published, so if you missed them this week, there’s a new Madd Matt video and a new Purple Stuff minisode!
Want a little background noise for tonight’s thread? Okay, got you covered:
Here’s the whole Hocus Pocus soundtrack, as suggested by KelseyW!
Kelsey adds: “Hocus Pocus is one of my all-time favorite movies. The soundtrack screams fall and Halloween to me. I have an early childhood memory of my sister and I running around the living room to a certain part of the end title music while my babysitter watched in amusement. To this day, I try to watch this movie once or twice during every Halloween season.”
Happy Free-For-All Friday!
Early ’90s Fox Kids Halloween Commercials!
Daaaaamn, here’s a really great pick from jjwspider:
It’s a huge block of kid-targeted TV commercials that ran on Fox Kids during the 1992 and 1993 Halloween seasons. An absolute treasure trove of nostalgia.
From jjwspider: “I believe it was in 1992 when Beetlejuice showed up with some other Universal Monsters to host the Saturday morning lineup. Take a look at the 7:56 mark for his first appearance. There are some other gems like the “Jason/Michael Myers” appearances on Bobby’s World (9:05) and the Home Alone 2 ad (11:03).”
So many goodies in here. Enjoy!
