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!
Scary Video Game Enemies!
Here’s a very cool vid that was suggested by Matt. (Meaning a different Matt. Though I wouldn’t mind swiping the credit.)
It’s the Top 80 Scary Enemies in Video Games, put together by a popular YouTuber that I’ve never heard of, because this is sooo not my wheelhouse.
Even so, I know a good vid when I see one. This was obviously well-researched, and the narration is restrained enough to be more complementary than obtrusive.
I can’t wait to fall asleep to this!
Casual Tuesday Thread!
Sorry, didn’t have time to get a post ready for tonight.
Instead, here’s a casual Tuesday thread to talk about whatever!
Halloween Monster Bash!
Tonight’s pick is so obscure and great, it could only have come from Jugendsehnsucht:
Get a load of Halloween Monster Bash, a super cheesy NBC special from 1991. Starring John Astin and Rhonda Shear (Yes!), it’s like a variety show mixed with a clip show.
(I’d never heard of this special until Juge pitched it, and the YouTube video has a hideously low number of views. Definitely on the rarer side, so worth seeing if only for the street cred points!)
