Free-For-All Friday Thread #13!

Tossing this up early as I *may* be incapacitated tonight.

Here’s your Free-For-All Friday Thread — talk about whatever ya want!

Happy 1st day of autumn!

The History of Halloween!

Here’s another one of those spooky History Channel docs, suggested by the wonderful vhslvy:

Enjoy Halloween History: The True Origin of Halloween!

I can’t get enough of these docs. Seriously can’t. They’re virtual comfort food.

PS: A new (full-length) Purple Stuff Podcast drops tomorrow. Be on the lookout!

The Halloween Island Survey!

Let’s do a survey tonight!

In the comments, answer these questions:

I’m trapping you on a tiny Halloween island.

You’re allowed to bring one Halloween/horror movie, TV special or cartoon. You will only get to watch that ONE THING for the rest of your days.

You’re also allowed to bring one Halloween candy. An endless supply of it, but you will only get to eat that ONE THING for the rest of your days.

What movie/special and which candy do you bring to this terrible Halloween island?

(Think hard. This isn’t necessarily about picking your very favorite movie or candy. It’s about picking the ones that you’d be okay with watching/eating for decades!)

Halloween, WWF Style.

If you missed the sad news, wrestling legend Bobby “The Brain” Heenan passed away this week. If you are (or were) a wrestling fan, you know that Heenan was a one-of-a-kind treasure, with a gift of gab that few could ever hope to match.

Two peeps suggested this Halloween-themed Heenan video, so I’m just gonna give them co-credit: Thanks to LBD “Nytetrayn” and Tank for tonight’s pick!

It’s a special Halloween episode of WWF Prime Time Wrestling, from 1989. So over the top, so cheesy, so wonderful.

Rest in peace, Brain.
